Background (this is the eleventh of 39 lessons)
Two important things to remember from the book of Joshua are (1) how the people all said, "AMEN" and (2) agreed not to be afraid of sacrificing unintentional sin even when people around them were sacrificing intentional sin. This is evidence that people in the Old Testament were living by different standards. The next 30 lessons after Joshua teach The Pattern of Sound Teaching by teaching 30 lessons to explain the difference between intentional and unintentional sin, so we can line our witness testimony up with the Chief Cornerstone by sacrificing unintentional sin.
In the book of Judges, students learned that they would be mixing with people who were seeking prosperity and denying God's grace. People are Awakened in 1 Chronicles to build a temple with God's grace and not prosperity. In the book of Psalms, a psalmist teaches us how to put on the armor of God and be a witness to God's grace. When we put on the armor of God, we will not fight back against the people who are denying God's grace and seeking prosperity.
We need to remember the promised return of Christ because Christ will judge all men in righteousness. We cannot let our fears hinder us from being a light. The book of Lamentations describes an example of what it looks like to suit up with the armor of God. Mourning and lamenting sin are examples of how to react.
The book of Obadiah describes an example of the promise of the wrath of God for people who deny God's grace and chase prosperity.
