In this study, the fundamentals of Israel's religious calendar as seen in the holy days, new moons, and sabbaths are reviewed using Paul's comments in Colossians 2:16-17. Additionally, Leviticus 23 is summarized and all the feasts listed in their chronological and seasonal schedules. We learn that the physical observances of the feasts shadow, in type, the LORD's prophetic and redemptive calendar with the nation of Israel. The importance of the name of the LORD to the outworking of His program with the nation is highlighted, and the educational components of the feasts are noted.

In this study, we continue looking at the historical outworking of the course of punishment in Leviticus 26. As Israel's failures under law continue through the the first course of punishment, the nation becomes worthy of the next phase of chastening. However, the LORD, in mercy, enacts the legal reserve clause of Exodus 33, and shows Israel a period of unprecedented forbearance & blessing in the times of David & Solomon. Solomon's latter apostasy is considered the LORD's announcement that the second course of punishment will come upon the nation following Solomon's death. The division of the kingdom and the ministry of Elijah are focused upon in this study as well.

In this study, we continue looking at the historical outworking of the course of punishment in Leviticus 26. Israel's persistent failure is again highlighted, and the ministry of Elisha is central to the study of the third course of punishment as Israel begins to walk contrary to the LORD. In the fourth course of punishment, we study the intensification of the chastening as the LORD begins to walk contrary to Israel and the nation is "cut short" by their Gentile enemies.
