Chapters 7-9 provide an exposition for the rationale for the coming of Christ. Chapter 7 emphasises the status of the one who comes, Jesus is referred to as God, creator and fashioner, [with no theological explanation provided], with a great importance attached to the fact that Jesus comes in clemency and meekness rather than anger.
Chapter 8 emphasises that prior to the coming of Christ our knowledge of God was very limited, whilst chapter 9 reflects that the delay in the coming of Christ was so as to convince us that without Christ we had no chance of salvation.
