The prophetic section of the Bible. What the prophets were about. Why the believer must have a clear vision of Who God really is. The sovereignty of God over historical processes. The biblical prophets were reactionaries, not revolutionaries. Seeing the footprints of God’s march through time provides a vision of Who God is. The doctrine of election applied to the time of the prophets.

How God sets up history. Every heresy in Church history was, fundamentally, preceded by a false answer to the question: What is God like? Miracles are never and have never been a test of orthodoxy. The land covenant with Israel. God supplies the righteousness necessary to bless the nation of Israel. The failure of Israel demonstrates that the flesh cannot consistently obey the Word of God. The promises to Abraham are ultimately promises to regenerate Israel.

The Bible is a progressive revelation of God over centuries of time. The twelve tribes of Israel fractured, during the period of the judges, because they did not have a unified world view. The period of the monarchy. David as a model of godliness and Saul as a model of ungodliness. In one sense, sanctification is a form of divine parenting. Sanctification is not the same as justification.
