Please refer to Biblical Literacy/Interpreting Scripture/Hermeneutics - Part 2 pages 14-29 for information on Genre in general, and pages 27-29 for specifics on apocalyptic genre. 1. Daniel and the Prophets: a. Prophetic literature has three marked groups: i. Pre-exilic - these prophets warned of coming destruction due to Israel's continued unrepentant faithlessness. ii. Exilic - these prophets looked to the restoration of Israel while the nation was in exile. Psalm 137 is a prominent example of an exilic song of hope and worship written during this exile period. Note the progression of the psalm: 1. Verses 1-4 are a lament this is a plaintive statement of pain and suffering. 2. Verses 5-6 are a statement of their confidence in God. 3. Verses 7-9 are a prayer for divine intervention of restoration.
