The Coming Prince from Sir Robert Anderson
Biblical prophecy has been one of the most difficult areas of theology for Christians to grasp over the years. One of the most famous prophecies in Scripture is the 70 weeks in Daniel. Many different interpretations of this section of Scripture have been suggested throughout history from various theological viewpoints. However, one of the most renowned historical works on this section is from Sir Robert Anderson, titled The Coming Prince. And we are excited to offer this resource on BLB.
In the original 1885 preface to the work, Anderson states, "It seems to be an axiom with many commentators that the prophetic Scriptures never mean precisely what they say; and the same license which is deemed legitimate in interpreting Scripture is used also when the facts of history are adduced as the fulfillment of it."
Anderson makes clear his stance that biblical prophecies are often far more literal than many Christians give them credit for. This view sets Anderson apart from his contemporaries, allowing him to pen a unique volume, where he focuses on the life and time of Daniel before zeroing in on the end of chapter 9.

Angel of the LORD Video Series from Jim Milligan
Last summer, our CEO and co-founder, Jim Milligan, spent three Sundays taking his church through a series on the Angel of the LORD. Throughout the Old Testament, this figure appears frequently. However, in each encounter, the Angel of Yahweh is treated with reverence and awe above that of any other angelic being. So, His identity has been a topic of much discussion through the years.
In his first message, Pastor Jim takes time to note the difference between "LORD" and "Lord" within the original language, and then dives into angelology to examine the different categories of spiritual beings. The second message focuses on the identity of the Angel of the LORD and the significance of that identity. In his third and final message, Pastor Jim focuses on the current and future purposes of the Angel of the LORD. This short series is so eye-opening and addresses a key Old Testament topic that many do not take the time to properly analyze.
To start listening, head over to the Angel of the LORD series page. If you want to hear more from Pastor Jim, you can go to his audio and video author page.
