Isa 24 6 Therefore a curse consumes the earth;
its people must bear their guilt. (Alternation with the second phrase)-Therefore earth's inhabitants are burned up,
and very few are left." ( not contrasted)
Gods word orders the whole creation. He is the governor in the sense that He orders the activities of the nations as He orders all creation. His law is compared to a furnace that is purified seven time. It is a metaphor for the accumulation of the pronouncing of His curses and the furthering of the success of His eternal purposes in His blessing. As the curses are loaded on the scale of the powerful and out weigh the suffering of the poor and afflicted, Gods word is purified seven times. This is the picture here of the earth being burned up. It takes away the life of the inhabitants of the earth by the destructive judgement of disease.
Guilt is the powerful agent of the destruction of the soul. The weight of the curse is successful in the power of the guilt of force men into the identity of judgement and slavery. It crushes the blessed success of each mans giftedness. A man who experiences the weight of the curse is a man who is consumed by His own hatred as a result of the weight of guilt. When God is alienated from man they feel the weight of their own powerlessness in the judgement of the earth. So the curse is an addition weight that is added to equal the laws power to identify and condemn the sinner. As time goes on the curse is piled up until the man is crushed under weight of death.
This is why the law is either that which piles up in condemnation or that which is used to as an instrument of the righteous to further the destruction of the wicked. The law is never neutral! To believe that the law is neutral is to accept the weight of the curse. It is to bring into the bosom all of the evils of corruption.
All of the judgements of God are good and righteous. The elect never oppose the good or the bad that comes from Gods hand. We believe that all events are the actions of God taken from His desires of pleasure. God is pleased to bless His people by rewarding them. God is also pleased to judge the wicked by being paid the price for their wickedness. Gods is pleased to get revenge. God is the only one who has the right to avenge the righteous. To believe that there is no universal judge who adds every thing up and will reward or punish is to believe in humanism. It is to say that there is no retribution that is absolute. There is no one to answer for the suffering of Gods elect. It is to believe that the eternal judge is not concerned for every thought.
To believe that Gods vengeance is meted out in response to mans obedience is to bring God down to mans level. It is to teach that God judges on a scale. Both of these teach that God is only human. We see here that Gods curses are weighted according to His predetermined choice. The weight of His curses are eternal as the amount of vengeance that He receives according to His standard. God communicates to His elect according to the weight of His glory and His curses. God controls all powers in His defense of us in piling one curse upon another. The universal weight of the curse holds the earth under the rule of God eternal government.
