Question: I know you emphasize the O.T. “mystery,” but if idioms give new meaning to ancient prophecies, why hasnt someone seen it before? Answer: I suppose a lot of your readers will think me naïve. I obviously believe what I am doing is part of what God is doing in these Last Days or I wouldn’t be doing it. Daniel 12 says the words of God were to be “sealed up” until an “End Time” when, apparently, they were to be opened. Daniel also says, “none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand.” I intend to share what I see in Scripture with anyone who is interested. However, Jesus also said there will be “tares”; and Paul mentioned those who want their ears “tickled.” They are interested in the Scriptures for the wrong reasons or have learned well-worn Christian clichés to fit into the church social club. What I have to say will easily “gather them out.” I do what He has called me to do—track idioms and images through four or five ancient languages at a time. It takes a lot of time but it’s rewarding to finally understand the Old Testament on its own terms. Questions & Answers, “The Voice of Elijah®,” Premier Issue, October 1990, p. 10
