Job,

Psalms,

Proverbs,

Ecclesiastes,

Song of Solomon

 

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.
