| H.L. Ellison” Old Testament prophets IntraText CT - Text |
A fitting end to the prophetic books. It looks back to the revelation of God on which the whole prophetic message is based and forward to the fulfilment of all the prophetic hopes. It offers the choice of repentance (ver. 6, see R.V. mg). or the ban. In the Synagogue ver. 5 is read a second time after ver. 6 to avoid ending with the ban, cf. Isa. 66:23f, p. 62, but it is only Jesus Christ, the fulfilment of the prophets, who can raise the ban.
