The history of the world comprises a comprehensive history of Redemption. God has accurately established an everlasting covenant with a man justifiably called the grace covenant. He established Israel by naturally gifting them with His moral law and continuous acceptance by sovereign grace. Before the foundation of the world, God planned to amply provide mankind with all that they needed. When sin entered man received the generous gifts of God and employed them to intentionally destroy the earth and all mankind. But God even decreed the sin and the destruction of man. All of the histories of mankind were decreed by God. God manages all things. When He graciously provided salvation, He satisfactorily accomplished the work within Himself. No part of the comprehensive history of the world is without God's satisfied justice. Before the foundation of the world, God decreed whatsoever comes passing under the judgment of His absolute justice. So sin or essential righteousness must receive the appropriate consequence as an essential part of decreeing whatsoever comes to pass. The declaratory judgment of all sin was already decreed before the foundation of the world. God's offensive attitude toward sin has always been sealed in His eternal wrath.
God's eternal judgment from before the historical foundation of the world is written as authoritative pronouncements of the curses. Everything that God has declared is wholly successful because it is sufficiently satisfied with Himself. This is what the Psalmist means by appealing to God for effective relief graciously according to His Name. 9 Help us, O God our Savior, for the glory of your name;"God's eternal covenant of grace given to the saints is ostensibly based upon His own work and will. The history of redemption is God's valuable work as a gift to His Son who has to appropriately place all things under His feet. God's contemptuous attitude toward sin and destruction or righteousness is like a scale of the considerable value of Christ's work on one side and the judgment of sin on the other side. At all times God sufficiently marks all destruction and evil that adds up to the considerable weight of accurate judgment that He meets out toward the wicked. Nothing happens in this world that is beyond God's adding and subtracting.
At all times Gods curses are judgements that He official accounts to the wicked that are beyond our comprehensive understanding. Gods justice is His ultimate satisfaction of receiving the appropriate consequence of sin and extensive destruction according to the eternal value of Christ active obedience and control. Man maintains his system of arbitrary justice but Gods vengeful response is far worse. When we speak the dreadful curses, they are Gods perfect justice and fearful vengeance according to Gods eternal judgement that is enacted on the reasonable basis of eternal decrees. At every moment God is amply satisfied with the fierce curse as the legitimate consequence of sin and destruction. He was satisfied in His eternal counsel according to the continuous history of His decrees. The pronouncements are calling from eternity past to eternity future of Gods final judgement and divine vengeance. This is critically important because it invariably changes our future bliss in heaven. We will be therefore accepted and valued that we will be stunned at the aggravated abuse that we ill endured on the earth.
