The Horite ruler-priests lived in expectaion of the coming of the Son of God. They received this tradition from their ancestors (horim. Abraham, Moses and David appear to be in agreement on this received tradition. Otherwise, it can be argued that Moses invented Messianic expectation.Alice C.

I think there might be some kind of Patristic consensus behind this. Also, non-Hebrew creation accounts, though written by Adamites, lack this. Other parts of Original Revelation were distorted in various ways rather than just lost.Hans Georg Lundahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01055583255516264955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688820610845171516.post-88506618651721139392011-06-09T10:11:03.399-07:002011-06-09T10:11:03.399-07:00But Justin does not ascribe Genesis to King David....But Justin does not ascribe Genesis to King David.<br /><br />The quote refers to the Davidic psalm that says <i>Tu es sacerdos in aeternum secundum ordinem Melchisedec</i>.Hans-Georg Lundahlhttp://filolohika.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688820610845171516.post-10908608230711587412008-03-18T06:55:00.000-07:002008-03-18T06:55:00.000-07:00I'm glad the essay was helpful to you.

I'll explore the evidence linking Genesis to David and then I'll propose how Genesis came together.<BR/><BR/>An Easter meditation will be posted on Holy Saturday for my Western calendar readers.Alice C.

What you posit, while still looking to multiple sources, is a lot more doctrinally whole. The Documentary Hypothesis, to me anyway, always seems to give the idea of some hodge-podge makeup, which would make it difficult to extract a holistic understanding from things.<BR/>Unless, of course, the compilers themselves purposely constructed it to be understood as the work of one source (i.e- "Moses"). This is what I saw as the difficulty of the Documentary view, that by always looking at things through this lense, you would actually be working straight against the very understanding the compilers were intentionally trying to convey. But what you say avoids all this, and makes a lot of sense on several levels, both prophetically and historically. I hope that, coming up, you'll delve a bit into how you think this all physically came together.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for taking the time to address all this! I hope to get the chance to discuss it a bit with Fr. Morgan at our Bible study tomorrow.Alice C. Linsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13069827354696169270noreply@blogger.com
