These events include the ingathering of exiled Israel by a bridegroom-king; his establishment of a kingdom, followed by his violent death; the scattering of Israel in the wilderness, and their subsequent regathering and further imperilment; their rescue by a king from the heavens, who establishes his kingdom from Zion, brings peace and prosperity to the earth and receives the homage of the nations.\u003c\/p\u003eThere is an appendix of apocalyptic midrashim, some translated into English for the first time.\u003cb\u003eREVIEWS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Message of the Psalter \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eis one of several recent additions to the growing corpus of work that treats the purposeful arrangement of the Book of Psalms. Mitchell is in full accord with those who argue that the Psalter is not a random anthology but is a purposefully edited literary whole. His thesis, however, goes in a different direction from that of others who have attempted to articulate the theological agenda that guided the editorial process...Mitchell argues that the agenda is eschatological....\u003ci\u003eThe Message of the Psalter \u003c\/i\u003emakes a valuable contribution to the ongoing study of the purposeful arrangement of the Psalter, as it points us in the direction of an eschatological agenda for the whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfessor Mark Futato, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, FL\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA recent and impressive full-length treatment is David C. Mitchell, \u003ci\u003eThe Message of the Psalter\u003c\/i\u003e (1997). After a thorough review of Psalms studies interpreting the Psalter as a coherent collection (pp. 15-65), he proposes his own interpretation: that the Psalter is to be interpreted eschatologically and that the Davidic kingship, far from being downplayed and viewed as failed in the Psalter, forms the basis for the eschatological hope in a messianic figure that is found throughout the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe states that the messianic theme is central to the purpose of the collection (p. 87), and that the Psalter was designed by its redactors as a purposefully ordered arrangement of lyrics with an eschatological message. This message...consists of a predicted sequence of eschatological events. These include Israel in exile, the appearing of a messianic superhero, the ingathering of Israel, the attack of the nations, the hero's suffering, the scattering of Israel in the wilderness, their ingathering and further imperilment, the appearance of a superhero from the heavens to rescue them, the establishment of his \u003ci\u003emalkut\u003c\/i\u003e  kingship] from Zion, the prosperity of Israel and the homage of the nations (p. 15).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMitchell faults Wilson and others for reading the Psalter historically (i.e., tying it in specifically with Israel's pre-exilic, exilic, and post-exilic situations) rather than eschatologically, whereby the vision looks far beyond these historical periods. He combines a close reading of individual psalms, section by section through the Psalter, with plausible links of these to the development of Israel's eschatological program in ways already suggested by the ancient commentators' referring to them in connection with the same or similar events (p. 299). The overall force and logic of his argument is impressive, and his work will surely occupy a pivotal position in future discussions of the Psalter's composition and message.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfessor David M.

The Church Fathers and the sages of ancient Israel taught that the world would endure six millennial 'days' - that is, 6,000 years - from the day of the creation of Adam. Then, after these 6,000 years, the Sabbath millennium would come, when the Messiah would rule the earth from Jerusalem for a thousand years. Yet the Bible also calculates the ages of the world in forty-nine-year jubilee cycles. If we put together these two ancient means of calculating the timetable of the ages, we arrive, with startling precision, at a timetable of the ages that points directly to our own days. The last jubilee year of the sixth millennium will run from 10 Tishri, autumn 2024, and finish a year later on 29 Elul 2025. Then the world will enter the long-awaited Sabbath millennium. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere's some careful research involved in proposing this view. We trace the teaching on the millennial Sabbath from its origins in Genesis, through the Psalms and the prophets, the intertestamental texts, the New Testament and Nazarene texts, Rabbinic and Patristic literature. We deal with historic premillennialism, Roman and medieval amillennialism, postmillennialism and dispensational premillennialism, to gain a proper perspective on what we should be looking for in these last days. The conclusion is that everything is going according to plan. He is not late. (He is never late.) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book continues David Mitchell's series on messianic prophecy.
