What significance could these obscure historical figures from a small nation -- at best, examples of moral uprightness and devotion -- have for us today?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEmil Bock argues that they are, in fact, hugely relevant. He shows that it was among the Israelite-Jewish people of the last pre-Christian millennium that the true pulse of the spirit of the age was beating. For that period, they were the brightly-illuminated center of world history, a focus for all the life and endeavors of humankind.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHe paints a picture of the Old Testament prophets as being guided from above by the spirit of Christ, preparing the way for his human incarnation. In a parallel analogy, he also shows how the prophets help prepare our own souls to meet Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emil Bock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0863155731\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780863155734\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Floris Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Emil Bock","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947410030847,"sku":"9780863155734","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e95f4af4-da8e-4f65-8cac-143046546e1c.jpg?v=1681518561","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kings-and-prophets-emil-bock-9780863155734","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
