B.	History: The section following the Law in the Old Testament tells the history of God’s people, the Israelites, both the positive parts and the negative parts. That is why both the nation’s successes and failures were written. The history books note what actually happened not what would hopefully happen. These are recoded in order to teach us (1 Corinthians 10:11). Events in these books are often used as examples in other parts of Scripture. The purpose of these books is to show God’s purposes for His people as related the history of the world.
