Jacob Did Not Make a False Prediction
Review of Adam S. Miller, "Reading Signs or Repeating Symptoms," in Christ and Antichrist: Reading Jacob 7, eds. Adam S. Miller and Joseph M. Spencer (Provo, Utah: Neal A. Maxwell Institute, 2017), 10 pages (chapter), 174 pages (book).
Abstract. The Neal A. Maxwell Institute recently published a volume on the encounter between Jacob and Sherem in Jacob 7. Adam Miller's contribution to this book is a reiteration of views he published earlier in his own volume. One of Miller's claims is that Jacob made a false prediction about the reaction Sherem would have to a sign if one were given him — an assertion that is already beginning to shape the conventional wisdom about this episode. This shaping is unfortunate, however, since the evidence indicates that this view of Jacob's prediction is a mistake. Once we see this, it is easier to avoid other mistakes that seem evident in Miller's approach.
