Coming of the Glory, Vol. 2

How the Hebrew Scriptures Reveal the Plan of God

Volume 2: The Pre-exilic Years: Amos to Jeremiah

This volume addresses the overarching theme of how the Hebrew Scriptures (commonly known as the Biblical Old Testament) remain relevant to current events and the ultimate spiritual destiny of the human race.

The pre-exilic prophets were a group of prophets who ministered before the exile of Israel and Judah from the Promised Land. They can be divided into pre-Assyrian and pre-Babylonian. The pre-Assyrian prophets of Jonah, Amos, Hosea, Micah, and Isaiah who ministered from 734 to 722 BCE and warned of the coming of the Assyrian empire, which took the northern tribes of Israel into exile in 722 BCE. The pre-Babylonian prophets of Nahum, Zephaniah, Habakkuk, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel who ministered from 722 to 586 BCE and warned of the coming of the Babylonian empire, which took the southern tribe of Judah into exile in 586 BCE.

Volume 2: The Pre-exilic Years: Amos to Jeremiah

This volume addresses the overarching theme of how the Hebrew Scriptures (commonly known as the Biblical Old Testament) remain relevant to current events and the ultimate spiritual destiny of the human race.

The pre-exilic prophets were a group of prophets who ministered before the exile of Israel and Judah from the Promised Land. They can be divided into pre-Assyrian and pre-Babylonian. The pre-Assyrian prophets of Jonah, Amos, Hosea, Micah, and Isaiah who ministered from 734 to 722 BCE and warned of the coming of the Assyrian empire, which took the northern tribes of Israel into exile in 722 BCE. The pre-Babylonian prophets of Nahum, Zephaniah, Habakkuk, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel who ministered from 722 to 586 BCE and warned of the coming of the Babylonian empire, which took the southern tribe of Judah into exile in 586 BCE. The purpose of the pre-exilic prophets was to reveal God's judgment of exile, condemn Israel and Judah for their sins of idolatry, social injustice, and religious hypocrisy, and promise future restoration and reconciliation with God.

Volume 1 of The Coming of the Glory explores the prophecies found in the earlier Hebrew scriptures; Volume 2 covers the pre-exilic prophets; and Volume 3 the post-exilic prophets, all within the context of ancient Israelite history.

About Eileen Maddocks

Eileen Maddocks was born and raised in the northeast state of Maine in the United States. Her mother, who was raised in the Millerite tradition in the Advent Christian Church, studied and pondered Christian history and theology on her own and became a Sunday School teacher in the Universalist Church. The stories of the Advent Christian grandparents and their church’s tent meetings were family lore but Eileen was raised in liberal Protestantism.

This dual world fostered a need to seek and search spiritual truth. She received a bachelor degree in liberal arts and then married and had two children. Soon a single parent, she worked as a secretary and sales representative to raise her children. Always a spiritual seeker, she went to various Christian churches but did not find the answers to her questions. Then she explored New Age concepts for many years.

Then in 1989, just when the bottom had seemed to drop out of her life, she discovered the Baha'i Faith and subsequently served at the Baha'i World Centre in Haifa, Israel, for 16 years as a researcher and writer. Upon retirement, she returned to her New England heritage and is now a writer and editor living in the bucolic state of Vermont where billboards are banned.

Her best description of herself is that of a curious student, always trying to learn. She endeavours to write in a manner designed to encourage readers to seek and explore for themselves. Her study of the life and mission of William Miller led to a deeply empathic appreciation for him. The author’s cerebral lifestyle is balanced with a serious study of ballet and four seasons of performing in Farm to Ballet, a summer production of Ballet Vermont that brings classical ballet to Vermont farm venues. Every year over 5,000 people watch this dance celebration of life on a Vermont farm from spring through fall. Its performances raise money for many nonprofit agricultural organisations.
