The Redemptive Plan of God

God makes a special covenant with Abraham saying that the redemptive plan is going to flow through him. After Moses, one of their great leaders receives the law from God and they move into the promised land of Canaan. They conquer it in the book of Joshua, then they promptly begin to fall apart and make all kinds of mistakes. These are a complete moral dumpster fire in the age described in the books of first and second Samuel.
