The Wonders of Bible Chronology is a study of the Biblical timeline
by Philip Mauro, an author of Christian texts who acquired great
fame in the early to mid 20th century. In this detailed study,
Mauro discusses a series of important Biblical events whose
chronology is not immediately clear to the student of the Bible.
Throughout this book, he accompanies his narration with a series of
tables which cite the respective events, the corresponding Biblical
passage, and the year. These sequential timelines clarify the
sequence of events, allowing the reader to better understand the
books. Particular focus is given to the books of the Bible which
feature numerical and historical allusions. These include Genesis,
Numbers, Judges and Daniel. It is with skill and care that Mauro
quotes specific passages, explaining why he arrived at the
conclusion that given events occurred when they did in a manner
both interesting and compelling to behold.
This book contains Philip Mauro's detailed examination of
scripture, in support of an argument against those who believe that
Christ's promises are not yet fulfilled and have yet to come. The
Hope of Israel gains its title from the fact that many
dispensationalist Christians believe that some future event or
fulfilment of Biblical lore will occur within Israel. Seeking to
prove such assertions false and wrongheaded, Mauro proceeds to
methodically and carefully cite passages within the Old and New
Testaments which specifically concern the land of Israel.
Prophecies such as Ezekiel and the warnings of God to humankind
through Moses receive much discussion. The New Testament figure
Paul's interpretation of the Old Testament prophecies on Israel are
also cited in support of Mauro's hypothesis, which asserts notions
of a nation of Israel being a fulfilment of Old Testament lore are
ill-founded.
In this insightful book, Philip Mauro offers commentary to
demonstrate how Jesus, and the Kingdom of God is alive and vibrant
all around us. In this thorough refutation of the dispensation
movement, Mauro demonstrates how the dispensationalist traditions
of the past are simply untrue. He examines each of the seven
principles, and sets them against the words of the Holy Scripture,
demonstrating how each is inconsistent with what is taught in the
Bible. Mauro doggedly cites the Bible throughout this text,
explaining the deeper passages with the clarity only a gifted and
studied preacher acquires. His firm belief is that the truest
Christianity - whereby believers gain closeness of God and His
Kingdom - is not to be found in the tenets of dispensationalism,
but the original Holy Bible. Although composed in the 1920s,
Mauro's book shines with clarity and retains its relevance to this
day.
In this exceptional commentary of the Bible, preacher and scholar
Philip Mauro explains two of the most famous visions of the prophet
Daniel and the Great Tribulation. Renowned for his intellectual
depth and skills of plain explanation, Philip Mauro's mission in
life was to enlighten his fellow Christian regarding the Biblical
lore. Often members of his congregation would grow concerned or
worried at not understanding aspects of the Bible; the Book of
Daniel, with its dense series of prophecy, was among the commonest
source of frustration for believers. Part One of this book explains
the various revelations and visions of Daniel, who foresaw
apocalyptic events which are collectively referred to as The
Seventy Weeks. The second part of the book, discussing the prophecy
of the Lord as delivered to Jesus from atop Mount Olivet, tackles
the contents and clarifies the meanings of this prophetic event.
Philip Mauro introduces here a unique argument about God and the
Devil; namely that Satan's mission was not to make mankind evil,
but merely good without the influence of God. Using scriptural
references to support his arguments, the author sets out to
demonstrate the interplay between God, Satan and mankind. Over the
course of his central argument, Mauro touches on many points
ranging from the lessons on life conferred by the Bible and what it
is to be a faithful believer in the Christian Lord. Although Mauro
agrees that Satan is a corrupting influence on Christianity and its
power to do good on the Earth, he also asserts that Satan's motives
are not as simple as mere evil-doing. The devil desires that
humanity carry out their virtues and live in harmony, but uncouple
themselves from any belief in God - essentially, that they be
atheistic and turn their back on the Lord. Later in the text, Mauro
offers counter-arguments to evolutionary theory, lambasting the
implications of this science as blasphemy.
