For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed ; for the Lord dwelleth in Zion. " This is an early and fine example of that 226 THE GREAT EPIC OF ISRAEL apocalyptic writing which became so common In later centuries. It is a product of the imagina- tion embodying the aspirations and hopes of the ardent prophets of Israel, but those hopes were doomed to continued disappointment. It neither prefigured historic events that were destined to come to pass, nor embodied theological concep- tio...ns of enduring validity; but It is interesting as reflecting the spirit that dwelt in Israel In a time of depression and gloom. Of the same period, but probably somewhat later, and In a similar spirit of hopeful prophecy, is the passage inter- polated In the midst of the Book of Isaiah as chapters twenty-four to twenty-seven according to the modern division. Of this period also, though showing evidence of being grafted upon a more ancient oracle. Is the " vision of Obadlah. " It is directed especially against the kindred nation of Edom, for which Israel cherished such bitter re- sentment for being less than kind In the early struggles; but the punishment of Edom Is dwelt upon in view of the day of the Lord that was " near upon all the nations, " when all should be judged and the kingdom should be the Lord's.
