During the Third Installment of the Fifth Course of Punishment, though
God was silent, Israel was fully capable of realizing the situation they were in. The
Scriptures gave them their history up until this time, with the books of the prophets
describing the installments of the Fifth Course of Punishment that was in effect. In
particular, a very special section of the Scriptures was designed to be used at this time
- Job through Song of Solomon.
Through these five books, God educated Israel in the reality of the predicament they were
in. As well, He provided them with a detailed description of their hope of deliverance
that was coming through the Christ, along with instruction on how to live in the midst of
Israel's apostate system. These five books provide essential edification for the remnant
of Israel, and will especially do so in the Fifth and final Installment of the Fifth
Course.
In Job, Israel's predicament of being in Satanic captivity is set forth. The Lord allowed
Job to become Satan's captive for the purpose of educating Israel in the nature of this
predicament.
Psalms extols the virtues of the Davidic covenant - Israel's only hope of deliverance from
their predicaments. Psalms is divided into five sections, each one focusing upon one of
the five mandates of the Davidic covenant.
Proverbs provides the believing remnant with instruction on how to live in the midst of
Israel's apostate system.
Ecclesiastes provides reproof regarding the vanity of the wisdom of the world and its
ungodliness.
The Song of Solomon doctrinally instructs the faithful remnant to remain faithful, despite
the time involved in waiting for their deliverance.
The full function of each one of these books awaits the Fifth and final Installment in the
Fifth Course of Punishment. |
