Thankyou Leaf473. Always happy to participate when the subject is of interest.

I actually spend a lot of time reading about Biblical history from an academic view. It gives good context as to how the writers of the books felt and what they were dealing with at the time of writing. Unfortunately that means reading things outside your faith and I seem to recall EGW encouraging members to stay away from things like the books of Apocrypha and other writings of the time. So probably not appropriate for this thread but not sure if anywhere else in this forum caters for this discussion.

Relevant to this thread, if anyone can find advice from EGW of the sorts, this may explain the perception of the Adventist congregation not being particularly well read outside the faith (i suppose it’s my perception as well).

Thankyou for responding - that makes sense for Jonah.

But I think Jonah is the easy example because the story tells why the Prophecy never was fulfilled.

Perhaps Jesus is a better example where he makes the claim about returning within the lifetime of those who were there… but obviously never does.
