‘THE PROPHETIC PERSPECTIVE’
When the prophets were speaking of what would happen as a result of what was taking place in Judah the message was very specific. But when they looked out into the future the great events foretold were compressed in a brief space of time. This is called ‘the prophetic perspective’. They saw the future rather like a traveller seeing a mountain range on a distant horizon. From that perspective at ground level it seems that one mountain top rides right behind another when in reality they are miles apart.
