Abstract
We are accustomed to thinking of prophecies that address the future as timeless, and often do not ask ourselves to what extent these prophecies reflect the personal characteristics and style of the prophets or their time and place.
In this article, I will examine one of many aspects of the transmission of prophecy from God to the people by means of God’s prophets: the tension between the ahistorical sanctity that we customarily ascribe to prophecy, on the one hand, and the prophecy’s connection to the prophet’s own time, place, and personal outlook, on the other.
