The survey continues with an overview of the period of the Judges through the united and divided kingdoms, the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities, and the 400-year silence until the Gospels. It then touches on Israel's rejection of Christ, the transitional Book of Acts, and the raising of the Apostle Paul and the revelation of the mystery for the Church, the Body of Christ. The message concludes with glances at the Rapture, and future prophecy: the Tribulation, Second Coming, Millennial Kingdom, final judgment, and eternal state.

This first of a two-part survey encourages believers to read God's Word from the beginning, like a book that never runs out of riches, as the Holy Spirit continually reveals more. Here, we are presented with a high-level overview from Creation through the Fall, the Flood, the calling of Abraham, the giving of the Law at Sinai, wilderness wandering due to unbelief, and the conquest of Canaan under Joshua. The study also stresses obedience to God, trust in His Word, and the importance of rightly dividing Scripture for understanding God's plans for Israel and the Church, the Body of Christ.

While revealing God in His fullness through Jesus Christ, the Bible strengthens, encourages, comforts, and challenges—not only day by day, but year by year and decade after decade—until its words become part of life itself. Here, we examine Psalm 19:7-11, which describes God's Word as perfect, and enduring forever. It converts the soul, makes wise the simple, and rejoices the heart, while protecting and rewarding those who keep it. The lesson also emphasizes rightly dividing the Word, its divine perfection and all-sufficiency, and its power to transform and bring joy as the believer's greatest possession.

This teaching concludes our study of Psalm 119, highlighting the psalmist's profound love for God's Word—reflecting on it all day and finding it as a source of superior wisdom, understanding, and protection amid persecution and affliction. He delights in it as his heritage and rejoicing, resolves to obey it fully, and repeatedly petitions God for deliverance, strength, understanding, and guidance. Deeply loving, meditating on, and living by God's Word, rightly divided, produces a transformed life that honors the Lord.

Continuing our look at Psalm 119, this episode emphasizes the psalmist's heartfelt prayers for God to teach him, give understanding, and help him obey and delight in God's Word with his whole heart amid trials, affliction, and opposition. Also explored are themes of trusting God's faithful, settled, and perfect Word for comfort, strength, hope, and guidance—while rejecting vanity, covetousness, and worldly ways—and finding joy in meditating on and singing it even in dark times. We as grace-age believers are to let the Bible transform our lives, walking in righteousness under grace and pointing others to Christ.

This message continues the study of Psalm 119, encouraging personal engagement with God's Word rather than relying solely on others for spiritual nourishment. It highlights the psalmist's prayers for life, enlightenment to behold wondrous things in God's law, and strength amid oppression, while also explaining how God revealed the mystery to the Apostle Paul as detailed in 1 Corinthians 2. Believers are urged to patiently study, meditate on, and delight in Scripture, allowing the Spirit to deepen their knowledge of Christ, transform their lives, and equip them to walk in truth.

This series-opening study introduces Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the Bible, as an elaborate acrostic poem structured around the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. It highlights the psalm's central theme—the exaltation and value of God's Word—through various titles, its many benefits, and the psalmist's personal commitment to obey, meditate on, memorize, and delight in it. As believers, we are encouraged to prioritize reading, studying, memorizing, and rightly dividing God's Word in our daily lives for spiritual growth, closeness to God, and protection from sin.
