common grace
individual legislators are not speaking for the Sate, but make their cases on the floor of the House or the Senate with their full, individual convictions and commitments.
Just because something is not the function of the Church does not mean that it is not the function of the individual Christian.
The State should be refraining from cultic activity and from theological reflection.

Meredith Kline gave this lecture in the first hour on February 13, 2001 at Westminster Seminary California for the Prophetical Books course.
The forming of the Prophet and the function of the Prophet
Forming:
1 Divine appointment
2 Admissions into the heavenly council
3 Anointing/possession/investiture with/by/of the Spirit
Apostle/spokesman – sent forth by God
Primary audience is Israel
Mission to Israel
Prosecuting the lawsuit against Israel
Deuteronomy 18
Functioning of the Prophet relates differently to the Abrahamic, Mosaic and New Covenants
Republication
Underlying substratum of grace – typological covenant of works superimposed on top
National election, typological kingdom, works principle = typological kingdom of Israel
Messiah and eschatological salvation
Prophets were God’s lawyers to bring word of condemnation under the Mosaic covenant
First stage = God’s complaint which leaves room for repentance and turning
Second stage = pronouncing of the ultimate judgment and execution thereof
Prophets record covenant history – former prophets: Joshua, Judges, Kings
Mission 1: prosecution of God’s lawsuit
Mission 2: record covenant history
Abrahamic covenant had not been annulled. Mosaic covenant was a second layer which was informed by national election, typological kingdom, and works principle
Israel was rewarded based on works according to the Mosaic covenant
Israel was rewarded based on grace according to the Abrahamic covenant
The mission of the Israelite prophets was to be heralds like John the Baptist of the New Covenant
Intercession
The prophets had a mission to the nations – anticipating Paul
Jeremiah
Gentiles are not breakers of the Mosaic covenant, but breakers of the covenant of creation with Adam
Forming of the Prophets:
Divine designation, appointment and call
Deuteronomy 15, 16, 17, 18
Moses is the model Prophet, the paradigm-Prophet
Exodus 3 and 4 – burning bush
Elisha and Elijah
Isaiah 6 – heavenly council
Ezekiel 1 – 3 – the throne-chariot theophany of God
Amos 7:15
Jonah 1:1
Call = registering the divine summoning
Jeremiah 1:5
“To know” = God’s knowing by name, calling, designating, appointing, selection, election
Each Prophet is the reception of this special call
Rapture of them into the heavenly court
Genesis 1 and 2:26
Genesis 1:1 = heaven/upper-register
Genesis1:2 = earth/upper register
Psalm 82
Man is Elohim-creature like the angels

Former prophets: Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings
Structure of OT canon and its implications for OC offices
Structure of Biblical Authority, pp. 56-57
Deuteronomy 30
Deuteronomy 32
Romans 10
John 6:29
The principle of works is the opposite of the principle of grace
Galatians 3
Jeremiah 31
The “telos” of the law – if we have to choose “termination” or “goal,” we should side with “termination”
Leviticus 18:5
Assurance is at stake in your exegesis of Old Covenant passages like Leviticus 18:5, and passages about the failure of Israel.
Redemptive judgment
Deuteronomy 4:30
Deuteronomy 4:39
1 Kings 8:47
Isaiah 44:14
Isaiah 46:8
Lack of conditionality in promises about what Christ will accomplish for us
There is still a place for compliance with covenant demands.
