The Exodus book in Psalms is composed of Psalms 61-72, showing the Messiah’s great atoning work. Psalm 72 brings the great story of God redeeming His people from Egypt with mighty signs and wonders to a close. It concludes with the following benediction and double Amen: “Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.”
We have seen many things in the Book of Job, the first written revelation given to mankind. As such, it can act as a transition between God’s celestial Word about the Messiah and the written Word. God explained to Job the great story in the heavens–the story of the coming Messiah as told in the twelve signs of the zodiac. This story is “The Great Conflict” between good and evil, and the basis of all stories ever since.
