Here is another one from Luke chapter 4:
16He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. 17The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
18“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed,
19to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
20Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him,
21 and he began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
The proclaiming, the release, the preaching, the recovery, which was accomplished by the anointed Isaiah as a figure, was ultimately fulfilled by Jesus Christ. Isaiah was a type, a figure. Jesus was the fulfillment.
In the Psalms you see David struggling against a host of foes on all sides, calling on the LORD (Jehovah, God, Jah, Yahweh), and being saved. David had a unique attribute that when the going got tough and his soul quaked, he called on the God he loved. Again, and again, God delivered him from the jaws of death.
I believe that Jesus fulfilled this type in much more detail than Mr. Lee and the Maximum Brothers of LSM ever realized. They had their "God's economy" metric and held it firm, even when it necessitated cutting off vast chunks of scripture as void of revelation. As I have said, I think the void in revelation was not in the scripture, but in the expositors.

This is my thought, as well. There is way too much scripture being devalued here.
Think back to that point where Mr. Lee mocked the saints for singing psalms of praise and blessing to the Father. I imagine that the heavens shut themselves and turned to brass, if they had not already done so.
