When Was the Book Of Micah Written?

When Was the Book Of Micah Written?

Some doubt that the Hebrew prophet Micah wrote either all or parts of the Bible book bearing his name, and have, instead, asserted that the book was written and edited sometime later, by others under his name. Why does it matter when the book of Micah was written? What difference does it make?

“I have been full of power by the Spirit of YHWH” (Micah 3:8 LSV). Micah was inspired by God through his holy Spirit to predict many things, but there are five very important predictions we’ll focus on in this article in order to prove this Bible book’s authenticity, that is, that it was written in the 700’s BCE: read more

When, and By Whom, Was the Gospel of John Written?

When, and By Whom, Was the Gospel of John Written?

  John and the Synoptic Gospels (Differences)   Today, critics  often assert that the Gospel of John was written in the 100’s CE, not by the apostle John, but by someone, or even multiple writers, who weren’t even born until long after Jesus’ death. These critics, of course, deny the inspiration by God’s holy Spirit (2 Timothy 3:16), “as they do also the rest of the scriptures” (2 Peter 3:16 NKJV). Although the Gospel of John was written anonymously, it is important for us to know when, and by whom, was the gospel of John written, if possible. Every extant manuscript that includes the beginning of the book names John as the writer. Was this “John” someone other than the apostle John? This article investigates and analyzes the facts.

Clement of Alexandria, who lived in the late 100’s to early 200’s, reported that John wrote to supplement the accounts found in the other Gospels. “Last of all, John, perceiving that the external facts had been made plain [in the other canonical gospels] . . . composed a spiritual gospel”  (Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History, 6.14.7). This, of course, means that the Gospel of John was written after Matthew, Mark, and Luke. read more
