Study 62 From the Book of
Psalms is: Psalms 78: 40-72
1.
The
detail of verse 43-51 sets the people’s disobedience (verses 40-42) in bold
relief. What other purpose do you think the verses had? Cf. Ps. 103:2; 2 Pet.
1:9, 12, 13.
2.
What
disasters did idolatry bring upon Israel? How did God in His grace come to
their aid? Of what is such action of foreshadowing?
