By Frederick Whitfield

Book Overview

Balaam's Parables: And Their Bearing On The Second Coming Of The Lord Jesus Christ is a religious book written by Frederick Whitfield and published in 1884. The book is based on the biblical story of Balaam, a prophet who was hired by the king of Moab to curse the Israelites but was unable to do so because God had blessed them. Instead, Balaam delivered a series of prophetic messages, known as Balaam's parables, which are recorded in the book of Numbers in the Bible.Whitfield's book explores the meaning and significance of these parables, particularly in relation to the second coming of Jesus Christ. He argues that the parables contain important messages about the nature of Christ's return, the judgment of the wicked, and the ultimate triumph of God's kingdom. He also draws on other biblical passages and theological concepts to support his interpretations.The book is written in a scholarly style and includes extensive references to the Bible and other religious texts. It is intended for a Christian audience, particularly those interested in eschatology (the study of the end times) and biblical prophecy. Overall, Balaam's Parables is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of an often-overlooked aspect of the Bible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
