Brother Jeff,
I was re-writing the article from your presentation on ‘Time Prophets’ and I have found some inaccuracies-Notice this:
“Zechariah means ‘Yahweh has remembered’ and over and over he says ‘Lord remember me for the work that I have done.’ He represents people who have taken up the work of the Lord who wish to be remembered in the judgment in a righteous way.”
It is Zechariah whose name means ‘Yahweh has remembered’ but it is Nehemiah who makes the statement! Nehemiah means ‘consolation; repentance of the Lord, comforted by Jehovah’
There is also a problem with the 120 years that Noah/Enoch prophesied of the coming flood and gave a name to his son which indicated that when he died the flood would come, but Enoch was not given the 120 years prophecy, Noah was! I think I can get around that one OK by saying that Enoch’s prophecy was a time prophecy in a person, and when Noah was told of the 120 years – he then knew how long remained of that prophecy. PT.
Response
Sister PT,
I have been teaching this for years, so I do not remember when I got this turned around. Never the less: Upon the testimony of two or three it is established that a prophet’s name corresponds to his ministry, so Zechariah must simply be referencing his desire to be remembered in the judgment, and his book deals specifically with the judgment so it fits. I understand the same about Noah and Enoch so I don’t know why I misstated it, but I stand corrected. Jeff.
