What was ‘Done Away With’?

WHAT WAS 'DONE AWAY WITH'?

We will be covering The “Law” and the “Commandments” of Yahweh God (Elohiym).

This is going to be a really long series, because I want to show you how important it is that we keep God's instructions, which is what Torah means.

We are going to cover all the verses with the words 'law' and 'commandments'.

Many professing believers in Jesus Christ believe that the Ten Commandments were abolished at the Cross. Many believe all the laws were 'done away with', and we are under 'grace' and not the law. They get this from the teachings in their 'church'.

The famous quote is that the law was 'done away with'.

We will see in this study that only the Levitical ordinances were 'done away with'. They were the ceremonial rituals and sacrifices of the Torah of Moses. Not only do many verses state this, but this was also prophesied of by the prophets, and clearly foretold in Daniel 9:27 where it says “the sacrifices and oblations shall cease”.

We will also see how God's laws were given hundreds of years before the written Torah, from the time between Adam through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and that Jesus and His Apostles taught and continued teaching the moral precepts of the Torah.

We are going to cover all the verses that contain the word 'Torah' and 'nomos', so you are equipped with the correct understanding of what is found in Scripture, and so that you can reject the commandments and traditions of men and come up out of darkness and into the light.

We will examine what 'righteousness' is, and what a 'perfect heart' is.

We are going to show that Jesus Himself taught all Ten Commandments as well as the moral precepts of the Torah of Moses, and that He did not 'do away with' them, but rather summed them up and simplified them.

Torah does not only mean 'LAW'.

We will see that the whole Bible is the Torah, as Torah simply means 'teaching' or 'instruction'.

THE WORD LAW REALLY MEANS TEACHING, INSTRUCTIONS, DIRECTIONS, AND INFORMATION WHICH CAN PREVENT PUNISHMENT BY DIRECTING US TO AVOID THE TRAPS OF SIN.

The Hebrew word for "Law" in the O.T. is like being taken to your father's house, for a family gathering with your brothers and sisters, to hear your father teach you how to reach the heavenly city and gain eternal life. This definition resembles preventative measures or training to help you avoid breaking a law in the first place.”

“The Greek word "Law" in the N.T. is like being taken to the courthouse, to appear before a judge and jury, to hear your sentence, and pay restitution, or find out which prison you will be sent to for the crimes you have committed. This definition resembles punishment after a law has been broken.

The purpose of law (Torah), which in itself is just and good, is to prevent the wrongdoer from harming others or himself. The law reveals condemnation, not salvation, it neither justifies the sinner, nor sanctifies the believer.

Yahweh God is the author of the moral law, it is a copy of His nature; and is a declaration of His will, and is stamped with His authority.

Romans 7:12 ​​ Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

Micah 6:8 ​​ He hath shewed you, O man, what is good; and what doth Yahweh require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

Deuteronomy 8:2 reminds us that Yahweh's laws are to humble us, and to prove us, whether we would keep His commandments, or not.

What is the great reason for life and living? Fear God, keep His commandments, this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13.

Many of our people are walking in darkness.

In the Hebrew, darkness is H2822 choshek, and means ignorance, wickedness.

In the Greek, darkness is G4655 skotos, and means ignorance respecting divine things, moral duty, and the accompanying of ungodliness and immorality.

Darkness is antinomianism, which is the rejection of law. Anti- against. Nomos- law.

In the New Testament, the word iniquity is G458 anomia, which means, the condition of without law, ignorant of it, comtempt and violation of law, wickedness, lawlessness.

In Matthew chapter 7, Jesus gives the Golden Rule.

Matthew 7:12 ​​ Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

This rule is not only agreeable to the law of Moses, and the prophets, but even to the law and light of nature.

The law and the prophets is the sum, or substance, of the Old Testament.

The 'churches' teach you that the law was 'done away with'. Some 'churches' still teach the 10 Commandments, but most 'churches' teach that we are under no obligation to keep the law and that we don't need to have works. Most 'churches' also have 'done away with' the Prophets.

The 'churches' are in error, and they are teaching antinomianism and the doctrines of men. We will expose these errors, mistakes, mistranslations, and misinterpretations in this series.

The substance of the law is love; and the writings of the prophets, as to the preceptive part of them, are an explanation of the law.

The law and the prophets are like the first and last links of a chain, all the intermediate ones depend on them.

Now, something very important to remember and understand, is that the OT is not about Jews, and the NT is not about the 'church', and Gentiles is another false word.

Unless you understand the error of these three words, you will never understand Scripture.

​​ 

The Jews are not Hebrews or Israelites. They are Edomites and Khazars.

We have other studies in the Who's Who menu that prove who the Jews are.

Here are just a few quotes from the Jews themselves:

The Jews admit that they are not the descendants of the Ancient Israelites in their own writings.

Under the heading of "A brief History of the Terms for Jew" in the 1980 Jewish Almanac is the following:

"Strictly speaking it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a ‘Jew’ or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or a Hebrew." (1980 Jewish Almanac, p. 3).

“Jews began to call themselves Hebrews and Israelites in 1860″ —Encyclopedia Judaica 1971 Vol 10:23

“Edom is in modern Jewry.” —The Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 edition, Vol.5, p.41

Genesis 36:8 ​​ Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.

“No one can deny that the Jews are a most unique and unusual people. That uniqueness exists because of their Edomite heritage. You cannot be English Jews. We are a race, and only as a race can we perpetuate. Our mentality is of Edomitish character, and differs from that of an Englishman. Enough subterfuges! Let us assert openly that we are International Jews.”—Manifesto of the “World Jewish Federation,” January 1, 1935, through its spokesperson, Gerald Soman

This word 'Jew' replaced the words, Judah, Judahite, and Judaean.

If you examine the full study 'Jew OR Judah?' you will see a bad case of identity theft.

In the Old Testament, the incorrect word 'Jew' NEVER identifies a Jew. It always identifies an Israelite of the tribe or house of Judah. Jews are not Israelites, they are Edomites.

In the New Testament, you must understand the context to understand who is Judah and who is Jew. Since the land of Judah and the land of Idumea were merged into the land then called Judaea in the first century BC, a Judaean could then be an Israelite of the house of Judah, or an Edomite Jew of the house of Esau from Idumea. The Pharisees were Edomite Jews. Herod was an Edomite Jew. After the destruction of Jerusalem, many Jews emigrated into Eastern Europe and became absorbed into the Khazar population. About 92% of all Jews are Ashkenazim. They are a mix of Japheth, Hittites, Turks, Edomites, and Mongolians. The Jewish Encyclopedia states that they are non-Semitic, which is true, because they did not descend from Shem, the son of Noah.

The 1985 Academic American Encyclopedia states that “Ashkenazim are one of the two major divisions of the Jews, the other being the Sephardim.”

The 'church' is not the ekklesia, or the body of Christ.

The word 'church' has been added by King James to the translation, who ordered his translators to replace the word 'ekklesia' with this word 'church'.

The translation of ekklesia as "church" has adversely affected the proper understanding of the biblical doctrine of the ekklesia, and all of Scripture.

The term "the church" as used is ambiguous. As the term implies, it is referring to all groups who call themselves a church. Using the term "the church" makes no distinction as to who is being referred to.

There are 33,000 so-called Christian denominations. So, which one is this 'church'?

The term 'church' does not come from the word ekklesia, but in the word kuriake.

This word kuriakos G2960 is used only twice. It means belonging or relating to the Lord. It's used in 1Corinthians 11:20 as 'the Lord's Supper, and in Revelation 1:10 as 'the Lord's Day'.

So we see that the word 'church' does not belong in scripture, it does not mean a 'church', and it is not used anywhere in scripture to describe God's people.

Ekklesia is G1577 and is a gathering, an assembly of people, specifically of Israelites.

It's a compound of G1537 ek/ex, which means origin, from out of, and is a derivative of G2564 kaleo , which means to call, to call out, to call forth. It denotes the redeemed, and the called, which are Israelites. “For in Isaac shall your seed be called.”

Ekklesia ​​ does not mean a building, or a congregation of mixed peoples in a denominational 'church'.

If the word 'church' is correct, then again, which church is God's? Are they all God's churches, even though they all have different doctrines and beliefs and ideas of who God is and who His Son is? The Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Catholic, Jehovah's Witness, the Mormon church, the Seventh Day Adventist, the churches in the Asian countries, the black countries, the Latino countries, Joel Osteen's, Billy Graham's, and John Hagee's churches, and any 'church' that calls themselves a 'church', are they all accepted by God?

What about the fact that there is One Lord, One Faith, and One Immersion? It sure doesn't sound like that is the case with all these 'churches'.

It can be shown that the word 'church' originates from the Old English kirke/circe, which was the name of the goddess Circe, the daughter of the Sun god, who was famous for taming wild animals for her circus. The places of worship among the pagan nations were always circular. The word circe means 'a circle' and transmits to the etymology of the word circus.

If and when you understand what the 'churches' have become, then you will understand that they truly are a circus!

Gentiles does not mean non-Jew. Gentiles is a Latin word translated from the Hebrew goyim and the Greek ethnos. There are many instances in scripture where the Jews themselves are defined by these words, proving that this word does not mean non-Jew. It simply means nations, or peoples, and the context determines which nations or peoples.

If you don't believe it, then explain how when Isaac's wife Rebekah asked God why the twins in her womb were fighting. He told her 'two nations are in thy womb, two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels.' If you look up the word 'nations', you will see H1471 goyim. This Hebrew word goyim is translated as 'nations', 'people', 'heathen', and 'Gentiles'.

If Isaac and Rebekah were Jews, which they were not, then how could two Gentile twins be in her Jewish belly?

There are many such examples as this and you can see the full study 'Gentiles' which covers every verse using this word which clearly shows that 'Gentiles' does not mean non-Jew.

Over 80% of the time it is referring to the 'lost' sheep of the house of Israel.

When you understand the correct context of Scripture, and you understand who is who, then you will see that the Bible is a history book and the heritage of the Adamic family of the household of Yahweh God, born from above, into the earth through the flesh and blood race of Adam. All the races did not come from Adam, or from Noah's three sons, as the 'churches' teach. Don't they believe God created us kind after kind? Does a Blue Jay bring forth a Cardinal? Does a Lion bring forth a Tiger? Does a Dolphin bring forth Shark? Can a Banana tree bring forth Grapes? Do White people bring forth black, Asian, or Mexican children?

Silly Gentiles, tricks are for 'church-goers'.

Adam is H120 and defined as, ruddy, rosy, able to blush, to show blood in the face. And described in Scripture as white, comely, fair, ruddy.

We have many studies that show that the Anglo-Saxon, Caucasian, Germanic, Celtic, Scandinavian, and European peoples are of the Adamic race and are the true sons of Jacob Israel.

This is easily proven through lineage, ancestry, heraldry and emblems, migrations, archaeology, and the fruits and prophetic marks of Scripture that identify who the Israelites are.

Throughout the paper and at the end of the study you will find links to all this information.

We are not born into this world to 'just believe', tolerate evil, live lawlessly, and wait for a 'rapture'.

We are a special, peculiar, set-apart and holy chosen people of the household of Yahweh God.

We were predestinated to work in His vineyard. His will is for us to establish righteousness according to His laws, be the light of the society, and build the Kingdom.

If you remember Jesus Christ's parable of the Certain Nobleman who went into a far country to receive for Himself a kingdom, and to return. He called His servants whom He gave intruction (Torah), and said unto them, “Occupy till I come”. Occupy does not mean to sit in your own pew, 'just believe', declare yourself 'saved', and do no work. Occupy is pragmateuomai (prag-mat-yoo'-om'-ahee), and means to carry on a business, deeds, or affairs.

What business? The business of The Father. Building the kingdom, establishing rightousness.

What deeds? Good deeds, which can only be done by one who has the Holy Spirit and is a regenerated Christian.

What affairs? The Eternal affairs.

2Timothy 2:4 ​​ No one serving as a soldier gets involved in the affairs of this life, in order to please only him who enlisted him as a soldier

The kingdom is correctly translated as 'reign', or 'kingship'.

The Plan of Yahweh God is for His children to follow His purposes and plans for His kingdom, which will be on earth, as it is in heaven.

Total righteousness.

What did Jesus teach? He did not teach 'personal salvation' or handed out free rapture tickets. He didn't give money to the poor, or campaign for Human rights. He taught from the Law and the Prophets. He taught Kingdom Theology.

78% of the verses within the gospels concern the “kingdom”.

The 'churches' define 'kingdom' as “a place located in the sky” and “a cubical city that falls down from the sky and lands on Jerusalem.” And their definitions always assume that their kingdom is in the distant future. The 'church's' description and placement of “The Kingdom” is mythological in nature. By planting mythological concepts of God's Kingdom in the minds of their congregations, the 'churches' have given their followers a mythological god. Thus, the god of the 'churches' is a myth, and so is their “kingdom.”

The correct translation of 'kingdom' is 'reign' or 'kingship'.

Kingdom is not something physical, observable and tangible. It is a concept; a condition; a state of being.

Just as hell is not a physical place, hell is simply 'the grave'. And heaven is not some place in the sky somewhere, heaven is simply either 'the sky', or 'righteousness'.

When Jesus returns in flaming fire, only the righteous will remain, and it will truly be heaven on earth.

Kingdom in the Greek is basileia. Greek words with the suffix 'ia' generally denote a condition or situation, in this case, of a king's reign...and by extension it infers the body of people involved in that reign.

This is what the ekklesia is. Another word with the suffix 'ia', denoting the condition of those who are called out of darkness, ignorance, and out of the 'churches' and the beast system of society.

Sin is hamartia, another word with the suffix 'ia', denoting the condition of iniquity. Just as anomia, denotes one who is lawless. One who is an antinomian.

The 'reign of God' or the 'reign of heaven' is the condition in the hearts and minds of those who are called out, and have knowledge and understanding of who they are and Whose they are, and who love and obey God's commandments and instructions, are profitable servants with full lamps, who bear fruit through morally right actions, and who eschew the evil, and who share the Word of God with their kindred peoples.

We see in the end of this parable of the nobleman, that the servant who hid his talent in the ground and did nothing was considered wicked and was cast out into outer darkness.

When you understand who you are and Whose you are, you will begin to understand Scripture better and realize that the 'churches' are worshiping some other god, believing some other doctrine, and having faith in some other belief that is not The Belief.

The OT is about our ancestors. The laws, commandments, and instructions, are all teachings from God to guide us in The Way in which we should think, act, and walk. They are instructions on how to live, how to treat our kinsmen, and how to govern society.

These teachings of God are Torah, and the Torah is our inheritance. The Torah is everlasting.

Deuteronomy 33:4 ​​ Moses commanded us a Torah, an inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.

'The inheritance of the congregation of Jacob' is a reference to the law, as the children of Israel were given the law and were commanded to keep the law, which was to be valued, not only as a peculiar treasure, but to be considered a possession, an estate, an inheritance, to be continued among them, and to be transmitted to their posterity, unto a thousand generations.

The Torah contained certain ordinances. These were abolished, as we read in Ephesians 2:15 'the law of commandments contained in ordinances.' These ordinances were ceremonial statutes of the Levitical priesthood. These were 'done away with' at the Cross. The moral laws were not 'done away with'.

Jesus taught the moral laws of the Torah. He did not teach the ceremonial ordinances. He fulfilled those.

Galatians 3:24 Therefore the Torah became our trainer unto Messiah, in order to be declared right by belief.

3:25 And after belief has come, we are no longer under a trainer.

The 'trainer' were the added ceremonial ordinances of the ritual law.

Ordinances in the Hebrew is H2706 choq (khoke), and is an enactment; an appointment (of time, space, or usage): custom, set time, statute, task, limit.

In the Greek ordinances is G1378 dogma, and means a law (ceremonial). It's root words mean to think, to show, expose to the eyes, teach.

Just as Galatians just stated, the ordinances were a 'trainer unto Messiah'.

The transition went from rituals and ceremonial ordinances and men priests and the blood of bulls and goats, to the faith in Jesus Christ. Faith is more of a behaviour than a belief. Faith is allegiance and loyalty. Allegiance is something you have with your Husband, or your King.

Under the Old Covenant, which was a marriage contract, when the people transgressed God's laws, they had to bring a bull or goat to the priesthood to sacrifice and make atonement for their sins. This was a temporary atonement which would appease the wrath of God.

The Purpose of the Rituals of the Law

Galatians 3:19 ​​ Wherefore then serveth the law (G3551- nomos- Torah)? (Some older manuscripts have “Then why the law of those practices-rituals?”) It was added because of transgressions (sin), till the seed (offspring) should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels (messengers) in the hand of a mediator.

The 'churches' don't understand that the context in these particular verses is not speaking of the moral precepts of the Torah, but rather they are referring to the rituals of the law. The 'churches' also do not understand that the people back in those days were used to performing rituals for justification, and when Jesus Christ came to fulfill those ordinances by His own sacrifice, all those rituals and ordinances expired, but it took many years for the people to understand what had happened, which is what the Book of Acts is all about. The transition from ritual sacrifice to personal sacrifice and faith in Jesus Christ. The moral precepts of the Torah were not what was 'done away with'.

Jesus is now the Mediator. He is our Advocate to the Father for us. Not men, not priests, and not the Pope. Jesus Christ Yahshua is who we ask forgiveness for when we sin for He is now our High Priest. The burden of the rituals was 'done away with', as well as the priesthood and all its oblations. Daniel 9:27 foretells that 'the sacrifices and oblations shall cease'. Not the whole law, the prophets, and the OT.

The 'churches' believe that when they recite those verses Paul wrote in Romans 1:16-17, 1Corinthians 15:3-4 and 2Corinthians 5:21, that state that Jesus is the Son of God, that He died, was buried, and rose on the third day, and then you are 'saved' and made righteous. The law is of no effect to you and you are now under 'grace', you can pass GO, board your plane, and collect $200.

Well, grace does not void the law. 'Doing away with' the law voids grace.

In Revelation, Jesus Christ counsels us to obey His commandments and instructions which refines us, and accounts us as righteous; and to anoint our eyes with eyesalve, that we may see.

Eyesalve is speaking of the law, and the grace which comes from following it.

Psalm 19:8 ​​ The statutes of Yahweh are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of Yahweh is pure, enlightening the eyes.

Without the law, you would not be convinced that you sin, and you would not be filled with the sense of divine wrath on account of it, and therefore you would not repent, and so you could not be saved from the penalty of sin, which is eternal death.

Repentance brings acquittal. Continuance in The Way is the justification of the Christian.

Grace in conversion is glorified by putting a stop to the reign of sin. Grace teaches men not to live in sin, but to abstain from it.

The Torah is to regulate the whole of the outward conduct, and to regulate the heart.

The plan of the law is to develop the secret feelings of the heart. The sinner should be induced to take a remedy. That remedy would be to acknowledge you are a sinner, repent, and change your ways and your thinking.

The Spirit's work ignites the law in the heart, and it is the work of saints, under divine influence, to copy them over in life, and to show them by conduct and behaviour.

Proverbs 6:23 ​​ For the commandment (H4687- instruction) is a lamp; and the law (H8451- torah) is light; and reproofs of instruction (discipline) are the way of life:

Septuagint: 23 ​​ For the commandment of the law is a lamp and a light; a way of life; reproof also and correction: ​​ 

The 'churches' reject correction. They believe they are above the law and have liberty to do whatever they want, because after all, they are 'saved' already.

David understood the law of liberty is connected to the precepts of the Torah.

Psalm 119:45 ​​ And I will walk at liberty: for I seek Your precepts.

Not liberty in a licentious way, using 'grace' as a 'get out of jail free card', but rather walk at large, or in a broad way. Not in the broad road that leads to destruction, but in the law of God, which is exceedingly broad, as we will see in Psalm 119:96, in the 'breadth of the law'. A man who walks in all the commandments and instructions of Yahweh; and who also may be said to walk at large when delivered out of straits and difficulties; and his steps are enlarged under him.

Psalm 18:36 You have enlarged my steps under me; And my feet shall not slip. (Also in 2Sam 22:37)

James taught that whoso looketh into the perfect Torah of liberty, and continues therein, and is a doer of its precepts, shall be blessed by his deed.

Moreover by the law is Thy servant warned: and in keeping them there is great reward. Psalm 19:11.

I want to make it clear that this study is not teaching that you are justified by depending on obedience to the law, or that your salvation comes from works or following the letter of the law.

Salvation is a free gift. There is nothing we can do to earn salvation.

Redemption was promised to our race back in Genesis 3:15.

Salvation was promised to the children of Jacob. His posterity. We already have salvation, and by nothing of our own doing.

But there is one thing we can do, and that is to reject our salvation. That's why Scripture warns us not to walk to the right or to the left of The Way.

Deuteronomy 17:20 teaches us not to turn aside from the precepts, to the right hand, or to the left.

This is why there are verses that say we can fall from 'grace', we can be blotted out of the book of life, we can be separated with the goats, and we can be bid to depart from Him.

Simply 'just believing' is not enough. Scripture teaches we must be doers of the Word, and doers of the law, and not hearers only.

Righteousness does not come from 'just believing', or reciting verses.

Jesus simply cleansed us of our sins and cleared the slate. When we repent and put on the new man, we are now at neutral ground with the Father. We are given a fresh start because when we repent we are forgiven. But it doesn't stop there. Our duty is to continue to fear Yahweh God and keep His commandments. This is why we have free will, and why this life is a test; to see if we will walk in His precepts, or not.

The more we understand and walk in His precepts the more we secure our salvation. Psalm 119:27/1Pet 1:9,14.

Salvation is conditional. We will cover the many verses that prove this later in the series.

Torah means 'teaching' and 'instruction'. Every Word which proceedeth from the mouth of God is Torah.

Isaiah 54:13 ​​ And all your children shall be taught of (by) Yahweh; and great shall be the peace of your children.

​​ 54:14 ​​ In righteousness shalt you be established:

Moses wrote what makes us righteous.

Deuteronomy 6:25 ​​ And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before Yahweh our God, as He hath commanded us.

Paul quoted Moses in Romans 10:5.

What is righteousness? Psalm 119:172 “All Thy commandments are righteousness.”

Righteousness in the Hebrew is H6666 tsedaqah (tsed-aw-kaw'), and means justice, vindicated, morally (virtue). It's related word H6663 tsadaq (tsaw-dak'), and means to make right (in a moral or forensic sense): -cleanse, clear self, to be just, to turn to righteousness.

The word 'righteousness' is of a general character. This is something you demonstrate by what you believe.

Character in Webster's Dictionary is one of the attributes or features that make up and distinguish an individual. The complex of mental and ethical traits marking and often individualizing a person, group, or nation.

The people of God are a Holy people. Holy means set-apart. Our God gave us His law to set us apart from the lawless.

Ezekiel 18:21 ​​ But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all My statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

18:22 ​​ All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.

1Timothy 1:9 ​​ Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners,...

The righteous have the law of God in his heart. Psalm 37:30-31.

David and Paul delighted in the Torah according to the inward man. Psalm 119:16/Rom 7:22.

Isaiah 56:1 ​​ Thus saith Yahweh, Keep you judgment (justice), and do justice (righteousness): for My salvation is near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed.

​​ 56:2 ​​ Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man (Adam) that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.

​​ 58:7 ​​ Is it not to deal your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor that are cast out to your house? when you seest the naked, that you cover him; and that you hide not yourself from your own flesh?

Yahweh wants us to love and help our brethren. The Septuagint says, thou shalt not disregard the relations of your own seed (flesh).

​​ 58:8 ​​ Then shall your light break forth as the morning, and your health shall spring forth speedily: and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of Yahweh shall be your rereward (rear-guard, encompass you-Septuagint, embrace you-Geneva).

Take care of your brethren and you will be rewarded.

The 'churches' have discarded the Law and the Prophets. They don't even understand that the scriptures Jesus and the Apostles quoted and taught from is in the Law and the Prophets. All the teachings were from the OT.

John 6:45 ​​ It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of (by) God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto Me.

1Thessalonians 4:9 ​​ But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

The error of the 'churches' today is that they try to use the testimony of men, and of denominational doctrine to teach God's Word, and to prove that Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus said the evidence is in the law and the prophets. The OT is the witness of the NT. Jesus didn't go around saying “Believe Me, I am He”, Jesus always quoted the prophets, and said to believe them, for they testified of Him.

The Targum renders Isaiah 1:3 “Israel does not learn to know My fear, My people do not understand to turn to My law.”

Forsaking the law praises the wicked. Proverbs 28:4

Those who despise the word of Yahweh will be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded. The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. Proverbs 13:13-14

These things were taught out of the OT law and prophets. The foundation.

The Torah contains great wisdom, as it is good doctrine.

1Timothy 4:6 ​​ If you put the brethren in remembrance of these things, you shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto you hast attained.

2Timothy 3:16 ​​ All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

​​ 3:17 ​​ That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

What was 'all scripture' at that time? The OT. The Law and the Prophets.

How can one be considered perfect? By following the law, which is one's righteousness.

Psalm 19:7 ​​ The law of Yahweh is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of Yahweh is sure, making wise the simple.

The OT prophesied of Jesus and the work He would fulfill.

Ezekiel 36:25 ​​ Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean (morally): from all your filthiness (ethical and religious uncleanness), and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

​​ 36:26 ​​ A new (fresh) heart also will I give you, and a new (fresh) spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

​​ 36:27 ​​ And I will put My spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall keep My judgments, and do them.

Notice that the prophecy states you shall keep His judgments and do them? Well, the Holy Spirit is given to them who obey Him. The Torah is written in our hearts.

To do God's will, His Torah must be in your heart. Psalm 40:8.

Jeremiah 31:31 ​​ Behold, the days come, saith Yahweh, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

This was fulfilled at the Last Supper.

Matthew 26:28 ​​ For this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

​​ 31:32 ​​ Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which My covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith Yahweh:

​​ 31:33 ​​ But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith Yahweh, I will put My law (H8451- torah) in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be My people.

Notice it says 'this will be the covenant with the house of Israel'.

Somehow the 'churches' read this to mean this is a new covenant with the 'church'. It plainly states 'with the house of Israel and the house of Judah'.

Notice how the law would be written in our hearts.

Hebrews chapter 8 repeats this prophecy.

The promise of the Holy Spirit was given in Isaiah 44:3 and Joel 2:28-32 and was fulfilled in Acts 2:16-18 and still being fulfilled today.

All of the OT prophecies are fulfilled in the AD descendants of the BC Israelites in the Renewed Covenant.

The 'churches' don't understand that Jesus did not teach differently or contrary to the Father.

The royal law, the golden rule, and the law of Christ, all contain the same precepts that are found in the OT Torah.

Isaiah states that Jesus would magnify the law, not 'do away with' it.

Isaiah 42:21 ​​ Yahweh is well pleased for His (Jesus') righteousness' sake; He will magnify the law (H8451- torah), and make it honourable.

Jesus Himself said in Matthew 25:41 that you are cursed when you err from the Commandments.

Jesus condemned all who would teach disobedience to the law. The 'churches' should pay attention to what Jesus said, not what their preacher says. When Jesus says 'Depart from Me, you workers of iniquity', He is talking to the 'churches'. Iniquity means lawlessness.

Jesus is the Lawgiver.

Yet, the 'churches' will say that they follow the 'spirit of the law'. The 'churches' are hypocrites.

There are zero verses that say 'spirit of the law'.

They don't even understand what the 'spirit of the law' is.

But Jesus explained it.

In Matthew chapter 5 Jesus gave examples of the 'letter' vs the 'spirit' of the law.

What is the meaning of the “spirit of the Law,” vs. the “letter of the Law”?

In Matthew 5:20-44, The Christ showed that obeying the “letter of the Law” is a matter of physical action, whereas obeying the “spirit of the Law” requires more than just outward actions—it also involves an attitude of the mind—referred to by the Apostle Paul as “circumcision of the heart” (Rom. 2:28-29).

For example, Christ showed that to merely refrain from adultery is obedience to the “letter of the Law,” but to obey both the spirit and letter of the Law, one must also exercise self-control (“temperance”–Gal. 5:23), and not even lust after someone (committing “adultery in his heart”).

Jesus showed that to merely refrain from murder is obedience to the “letter of the Law”, but to obey the 'spirit' and the 'letter' of the Law, one must not harbour anger without a cause toward your kinsmen.

Jesus showed that refraining from forswearing yourself is the 'letter', but refraining from swearing vainly is obeying the 'spirit' and 'letter'.

Jesus taught that an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth, is the 'letter' of the Law, but the 'spirit of the Law' is of paying the price equivalent to the damage done, which is the law of retribution, because it takes the vengeance out of the hands of private persons.

Jesus also taught that loving your kinsmen enemies that curse you, and that blessing them and doing good to them that hate you, and praying for them, is the 'spirit of the Law'.

Another example (not mentioned by Christ in Matt. 5) is in the keeping of the Sabbath Day. To merely “remember the Sabbath, to keep it holy” (Ex. 20:8), “not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together” (Heb. 10:25), is in obedience to the 'letter' of the Law. But to also rejoice in the Sabbath and call it a “delight” (Isa. 58:13) is keeping the 'spirit' of the Law, as God intends. This principle applies to all of God’s laws.

So we see that the 'spirit of the Law' is outward action AND the attitude of the mind.

This is what those verses in Deuteronomy are talking about.

“Binding them for a sign on your hand, and they may be as frontlets between your eyes”.

This is referring to the works of your hands, and the thoughts of your mind.

The Jews don't understand these things either, for they take these things literally, so they wear little boxes with the commandments in them on their heads and make merchandise of them.

In the OT we see Yahweh pleaded for our ancestors to seek righteousness. He desired obedience rather than sacrifice. If they would obey the moral precepts, they wouldn't need to do the ceremonial rituals and sacrifices.

Isaiah 51:1 ​​ Hearken to Me, you that follow after righteousness, you that seek Yahweh: look unto the rock whence you are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence you are digged.

These are references to Abraham and Sarah. Abraham obeyed Yahweh. He had faith and works.

Abraham followed Torah. The laws, commandments, teachings, and instructions of God were known by the patriarchs before the written Torah.

Torah means 'teaching' and 'instruction'. The whole Bible is Torah, for every Word which proceedeth from the mouth of God man shall live by.

Hosea 10:12 ​​ Sow to yourselves in righteousness (H6666), reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek Yahweh, till He come and rain righteousness (H6664) upon you.

Righteousness in the first clause is H6666 tsedaqah (tsed-aw-kaw'), and means justice, vindicated, morally (virtue). It's related word H6663 tsadaq (tsaw-dak'), means to make right (in a moral or forensic sense): -cleanse, clear self, to be just, to turn to righteousness. It is of general character.

Righteousness in the second clause is H6664 tsedeq, and means justice, equity, prosperity.

Since righteousness is God's commandments, the prophet is saying to sow, or yield fruit according to God's precepts. When you do, He will rain justice according to His laws upon you.

Deuteronomy chapter 28 lists the blessing which come from obedience, as well as the curses from disobedience.

2Corinthians 5:10 ​​ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

Great peace have they which love Your law in this world; and nothing shall offend them in the world to come. Psalm 119:165

We see Jesus teaching Kingdom theology, repentance, and obedience in the NT.

Matthew 6:33 ​​ But seek you first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things (the things necessary for this life and the next) shall be added unto you.

Righteousness here is G1343 dikaiosune, and means the state of him who is as he ought to be, the condition acceptable to God, the way in which a man may attain a state approved of God. Integrity, virtue, purity of life, correctness of thinking, feeling, and acting. Justice or the virtue which give each his due. Equity (of character or act); specifically Christian justification.

Jesus was the model of righteousness. He followed the Torah perfectly.

No, we can't follow the Torah perfectly as He did, but it is the effort He is looking at. If your zeal is for real. The willful attitude of the mind and the actions which prove your faith. Faith without works is dead.

1John 2:6 ​​ He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked.

Jesus is our example. You don't 'just believe' in Him, you must believe in the same faith He had. Abraham had the same faith. Works and faith go together. Just like love and the law go together.

John 14:15 ​​ If ye love Me, keep My commandments.

HOW MANY COMMANDMENTS ARE THERE?

There are 613 commandments in the written Torah (The Law or the first 5 books of the Bible).

There are quite a few categories, some of which are criminal law, agricultural law, property rights, business practice laws, marriage laws, judicial laws, and a few more. We will cover all these later.

Upon careful examination, we can subtract three categories from the list. Takanot, Does Not Apply, and Ceremonial.

Takanot are the Rabbinical commandments the Jews created. These are the 'traditions of men' Jesus denunciated when He exposed the Jews for their added decrees which they lorded over the people with.

Does Not Apply are those commandments that do not apply today because they were commandments such as 'destroying the Canaanites' and 'beseiging Moab and Ammon'.

The Ceremonial Ordinances were the all the statutes and instructions pertaining to the Levitical priesthood and sacrifices and rituals. These were 'done away with'.

There were 12 Takanot, 14 Does Not Apply, and 232 Ceremonial Ordinances.

These add up to 258. Subtract 258 from 613 and that leaves 355 Old Testament commandments. Now, since 120 of those 613 commandments fit directly into the 10 Commandments, we can subtract 110 from the remaining 355 and that leaves 245 Old Testament Commandments.

So, the Father gave our ancestors approximately 245 Commandments and Instructions, and these 245 commandments and instructions have the same importance then as they do now. They are simply instructions on how to live, how to treat others, and how to govern societies. They are not outdated and there are no laws He didn't forget to make for today's time.

The new laws made by man are contrary to God's laws in that they legalize what God commanded against. God's laws never gave rights to sodomites, or permitted murder by abortion, or allow usury.

I think the 'churches' would be surprised to know that there are more commandments and instructions for the Christian in the New Testament than these 245 commandments from the Old.

The New Testament contains approximately 1050 commandments to the followers of Jesus.

According to Dr. Richard Booker of "Sounds of the Trumpet" Ministries, (www.rbooker.com) from The Woodlands, Texas, there are more commands to bible believers in the New Testament scriptures than in the Old.

Jesus Himself gave about 85 commandments. Almost all of them (68 of 85) are from those 245 OT commandments. The few that are not of those OT commandments, about 17 of them, are those which He gave that applied to His day, such as teaching how to pray, not to be as the hypocrites in prayer and fasting, take no thought for your life, cast the beam out of your own eye, pray for those who spread the Word, beware of men, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, beware of the scribes, and deny yourself. All the other commandments of Jesus, about 68 of them, are from the written Torah of Moses. Jesus constantly quoted the Law and the Prophets.

The European countries were founded under Common Law, which is based on God's Laws.

America was founded under God's Laws.

God's Laws are eternal.

Psalm 111:7 ​​ The works of His hands are verity (truth) and judgment (justice); all His commandments are sure.

111:8 ​​ They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.

Proverbs 28:9 ​​ He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

Zephaniah 2:3 ​​ Seek you Yahweh, all you meek of the earth, which have wrought His judgment (done His law); seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be you shall be hid in the day of Yahweh's anger.

Righteousness is equity, Christian justification. Righteousness is all God's commandments.

We are not righteous when we 'just believe' or when we 'accept Jesus'.

We are sinners until we repent, change our ways, and continue in The Way.

We have access by faith into grace. Not by faith in rituals, sacrifices, or even following the 'letter' of the law. But by faith in Jesus Christ and what He represented, which is righteousness according to His laws.

Why will He separate the sheep from the goats in 'that day'?

Because His sheep hear His voice and they follow Him and His commandments, teachings, and instructions.

The goats are rebellious and will be 'anathema maranatha'.

Zephaniah 2:3 ​​ Seek you Yahweh, all you meek of the earth (land), which have wrought His judgment (done His law); seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be you shall be hid in the day of Yahweh's anger.

Remember, all God's commandments are righteousness.

It is our righteousness if we observe to do all His commandments to the best of our ability, with a pure heart, and a willing mind.

When you put on the whole armour of God, you are putting on the whole Word of God. Not just His Word from the NT, but of the OT as well. The girding of your loins with the truth which represents the Truth from the beginning which the patriarchs passed on to each generation. The breastplate of righteousness represents God's commandments, all of which are righteousness, and the breastplate protects the heart, which the Torah was written upon. The feet shod with the preparation of the gospel represents the Prophets for they foretold of the Gospel. The shield of faith represents the faith of Abraham. The helmet of salvation represents Jesus Christ. The sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God represents the Apostles who spread His Word and wielded it as a sword.

Each piece of the armour represents the Torah, because without knowledge and understanding of the Law and the Prophets, without the faith of Abraham, without the righteousness of the Law, and without the Word of God, how can you stand fully equipped as a soldier ready to defend against the wicked or bring the whole truth to the blind?

I hope you join me in what is going to be a long series, but it will be a full study and it will show that God's laws are still the whole duty of man. We have a kingdom to build and the kingdom and its people will not be lawless.

We are going to cover all the verses with the words 'law' and 'commandments'. We will see that God gave Torah to Adam through Abraham. He gave the written Torah to Moses. The prophets warned the people of their violation of the Torah and its consequences. Jesus taught Torah, both of Moses, and of His own instructions and commandments. The Apostles taught Torah, both of Moses, and from what they learned from Jesus. The whole Bible is Torah, as Torah means 'teaching' and 'instruction'.

When you develop a love for God's law, you will receive God's love in ways you never dreamed of.

We must begin our series on the Torah and What was 'done away with'? by learning what Antinomianism is.

What is an antinomian?

Webster's 1828 Dictionary defines antinomian as:

n. One of a sect who maintain, that, under the gospel dispensation, the law is of no use or obligation; or who hold doctrines which supersede the necessity of good works and a virtuous life. This sect originated with John Agricola about the year 1538.

Who is John Agricola?

Johann Agricola (born April 20, 1494, Eisleben, Saxony—died Sept. 22, 1566, Berlin), Lutheran Reformer, friend of Martin Luther, and advocate of antinomianism, a view asserting that Christians are freed by grace from the need to obey the Ten Commandments.

In 1525 Agricola helped introduce Lutheranism to Frankfurt and, in the same year, became head of the Latin school at Eisleben. There, he began to assert his antinomianism (Greek anti, “against”; nomos, “law”), condemning the law as an unnecessary carry-over from the Old Testament and as too similar to the Roman Catholic stress on good works: “The Decalog (Ten Commandments) belongs in the courthouse, not in the pulpit. . . . To the gallows with Moses!” In 1527 he became more forceful, attacking the Reformer Philipp Melanchthon, an associate of Luther, for Lutheran inclusion of the law in Reformation theology. The conflict was enlarged when Agricola returned to Wittenberg in 1536, and Luther responded with five disputations and the treatise “Against the Antinomians.”

The Evangelical Dictionary of Theology states, “In fact, it was Luther who actually coined the word antinomianism in his theological struggle with his former student, Johann Agricola.”

The various manifestations of antinomianism:

It must be stressed that the moral law, as crystallized in the Decalogue and opened up in the ethical teaching of both Testaments, is one coherent law, given to be a code of practice for God’s people in every age. In addition, repentance means resolving henceforth to seek God’s help in keeping that law. The Spirit is given to empower law-keeping and make us more and more like Christ, the archetypal law-keeper (Matt. 5:17). This law-keeping is in fact the fulfilling of our Adamic nature, and Scripture holds out no hope of salvation for any who, whatever their profession of faith, do not seek to turn from sin to righteousness (1 Cor. 6:9-11; Rev. 21:8).”

Martin Luther wrote a letter “Against the Antinomians” in 1539.

[This is a letter from Luther to Dr. Caspar Güttel, who like Luther was originally an Augustinian monk who became a Lutheran pastor. Luther introduces the letter by explaining that he writes to clarify his teaching against the claims of those, especially John Agricola, who said that Luther’s position required Christians “to expel the law of God or the Ten Commandments from the church. . . .” He asks Dr. Güttel to publish it as much as possible. –Site Editor]

[Introduction omitted]

It is most surprising to me that anyone can claim that I reject the law or the Ten Commandments, since there is available, in more than one edition, my exposition of the Ten Commandments, which furthermore are daily preached and practiced in our churches. Furthermore, the commandments are sung in two versions, as well as painted, printed, carved, and recited by the children morning, noon, and night. [The two sung versions mentioned here are Luther’s two hymns based on the Ten Commandments: “These Are the Holy Ten Commands” (1524); and “Man, Wouldst Thou Live All Blissfully” ] I know of no manner in which we do not use them, unless it be that we unfortunately do not practice and paint them with our deeds and our life as we should. I myself, as old and as learned as I am, recite the commandments daily word for word like a child. So if anyone perchance gained some other impression from my writings and yet saw and perceived that I stressed the catechism so greatly, he might in all fairness have addressed me and said, “Dear Dr. Luther, how is it that you emphasize the Ten Commandments so much, though your teaching is that they are to be discarded?” That is what they should have done, and not worked secretly behind my back and waited for my death, after which they could make of me what they would. [A charge that had been leveled at Agricola by his opponents in the controversy. Already in the summer of 1538 Luther spoke of the Antinomians as a “new sect” and discussed them in the same context as he does here: “I have survived three terrible storms: Münzer, the Sacramentarians, and the Anabaptists. When these were quieted others arose.” ] Ah well, let them be forgiven who cease doing this.

To be sure, I did teach, and still teach, that sinners shall be stirred to repentance through the preaching or the contemplation of the passion of Christ, so that they might see the enormity of God's wrath over sin, and learn that there is no other remedy for this than the death of God’s Son. This doctrine is not mine, but St. Bernard’s.[Bernard of Clairvaux (1091–1153). Luther felt that Bernard, although he misinterpreted the Christian faith on some matters, was essentially in agreement with him in the doctrine of justification.] What am I saying? St. Bernard’s? It is the message of all of Christendom, of all the prophets and apostles. But how can you deduce from this that the law is to be cast aside? I cannot find such a deduction in my logic textbook. I should like to see or hear the master who could demonstrate it.

When Isaiah 53:8 declares that God has “stricken Him for the transgression of My people,” tell me, my dear fellow, does this proclamation of Christ's suffering and of His being stricken for our sin imply that the law is cast away? What does this expression, “for the transgression of My people,” mean? Does it not mean “because My people sinned against My law and did not keep My law”? Or does anyone imagine that there can be sin where there is no law? Whoever abolishes the law must simultaneously abolish sin. If he permits sin to stand, he must most certainly permit the law to stand; for according to Romans 5:13, where there is no law there is no sin. And if there is no sin, then Christ is nothing. Why should He die if there were no sin or law for which He must die? It is apparent from this that the devil's purpose in this fanaticism is not to remove the law but to remove Christ, the fulfiller of the law.

For he is well aware that Christ can quickly and readily be removed, but that the law is written in the depth of the heart and cannot be erased. This is clearly seen in the psalms of lamentation. For here the dear saints are unable to bear the wrath of God. This is nothing but the law’s perceptible preaching in man’s conscience. The devil knows very well too that it is impossible to remove the law from the heart. In Romans 2:14–15 ​​ St. Paul testifies that the Gentiles ('lost' Israelite nations) who did not receive the law from Moses and thus have no law are nevertheless a law to themselves, being obliged to witness that what the law requires is written in their hearts. But the devil devotes himself to making men secure, teaching them not to heed the law. That is what the devil strives for, and that is what he would like to see.

Dear God, should it be unbearable that the holy church confesses itself a sinner, believes in the forgiveness of sins, and asks for remission of sin in the Lord’s Prayer? How can one know what sin is without the law and conscience? And how will we learn what Christ is, what He did for us, if we do not know what the law is that He fulfilled for us and what sin is, for which He made satisfaction? And even if we did not require the law for ourselves, or if we could tear it out of our hearts (which is impossible), we would have to preach it for Christ’s sake, as is done and as has to be done, so that we might know what He did and what He suffered for us. For who could know what and why Christ suffered for us without knowing what sin or law is? Therefore the law must be preached wherever Christ is to be preached, even if the word “law” is not mentioned, so that the conscience is nevertheless frightened by the law when it hears that Christ had to fulfill the law for us at so great a price. Why, then, should one wish to abolish the law, which cannot be abolished, yes, which is only intensified by such an attempt? For the law terrifies me more when I hear that Christ, the Son of God, had to fulfill it for me than it would were it preached to me without the mention of Christ and of such great torment suffered by God’s Son, but were accompanied only by threats. For in the Son of God I behold the wrath of God in action, while the law of God shows it to me with words and with lesser deeds.

They [the antinomians, the Anabaptists] have devised for themselves a new method whereby one is to preach grace first and then the revelation of wrath. The word “law” is not to be heard or spoken. This is a nice little toy [a toy chair for dolls] from which they derive much pleasure. They claim they can fit the entire Scripture into this pattern and thus they become the light of the world. That is the meaning they foist on St. Paul in Romans 1:18. But they fail to see that he teaches just the opposite. First he calls attention to the wrath of God from heaven and makes all the world sinners and guilty before God; then, after they have become sinners, he teaches them how to obtain mercy and be justified. That is what the first three chapters powerfully and clearly demonstrate. It is also indicative of a particular blindness and stupidity when they claim that the revelation of God’s wrath is something different from the law. This is, of course, impossible, for the manifestation of wrath is the law when it is acknowledged and felt, just as St. Paul says, “The law brings wrath” [Rom. 4:15]. So haven’t they fixed things smartly when they abolish the law and yet teach it by proclaiming the revelation of wrath? But they reverse the order of things and teach the law after they teach the gospel, and wrath after grace. I can indeed see some of the shameful errors the devil has in mind with this little toy [a toy chair for dolls]; but I cannot enlarge on these at present. Moreover, this is unnecessary, because I hope that they will cease.

It also reflected extraordinary arrogance and presumption that they wanted to unearth something novel and uncommon, so that people would say, “I really believe that he [Agricola] is a great man, a second Paul.” Why should those in Wittenberg have a monopoly on wisdom? I, too, have a brain. Yes, of course you have a brain, but one that is bent on its own honor and that exposes itself to ridicule with its wisdom. For they want to do away with the law and yet teach wrath, which is the function of the law alone. Thus they merely discard the few letters that compose the word “law,” meanwhile affirming the wrath of God, which is indicated and understood by these letters. It is only that they reverse the order fixed by St. Paul and try to place the last first. Isn’t this a fine piece of work, before which all the world should stand in amazement? But let this suffice for the time being; for I hope that since Master Eisleben is changing his mind and recanting, the others who derived their views from him will also desist. May God help them to that end. Amen.

We are focusing on The “Commandments” of Yahweh God (Elohiym) because they are the very parts of the LAW that New Testament believers tend to misunderstand or oppose. Unlike other aspects of the Law of God, His Commandments are the part which present us with clear and binding obligations, as laws which sort of have teeth in them. Though the “Ten Commandments” are only a part of the great body of God’s Commandments, there’s a whole lot more where they came from.

HOW MANY COMMANDMENTS EXIST?

There are 613 commandments in the written Torah (Law or the first 5 books of the Bible). 248 of these are affirmative, and 365 are negative.

There are quite a few categories, some of which are criminal law, agricultural law, property rights, business practice laws, marriage laws, judicial laws, and a few more. We will cover all these later.

Upon careful examination, we can subtract three categories from the list. Takanot, Does Not Apply, and Ceremonial.

Takanot are the Rabbinical commandments the Jews created. These are the 'traditions of men' Jesus denunciated when He exposed the Jews for their added decrees which they lorded over the people with.

Does Not Apply are those commandments that do not apply because they were commandments such as 'destroying the Canaanites' and 'beseiging Moab and Ammon'.

The Ceremonial Ordinances were the all the statutes and instructions pertaining to the Levitical priesthood and sacrifices and rituals. These were 'done away with'.

There were 12 Takanot, 14 Does Not Apply, and 232 Ceremonial Ordinances. These add up to 258. Subtract 258 from 613 and that leaves 355 Old Testament commandments. Now, since 120 of those 613 commandments fit directly into the 10 Commandments, we can subtract 110 from the remaining 355 and that leaves 245 Old Testament Commandments.

So, the Father gave our ancestors approximately 245 Commandments and Instructions, and these 245 commandments and instructions have the same importance then as they do now. They are simply instructions on how to live, how to treat others, and how to govern societies. We will cover these later in the series.

I think the 'churches' would be surprised to know that there are more commandments and instructions for the Christian in the New Testament than these 245 from the Old.

The New Testament contains approximately 1050 commandments to the followers of Jesus.

According to Dr. Richard Booker of "Sounds of the Trumpet" Ministries, (www.rbooker.com) from The Woodlands, Texas, there are more commands to bible believers in the New Testament scriptures than in the Old.

Jesus Himself gave 85 commandments. Almost all of them (68 of 85) are from those 245 OT commandments. The few that are not are those commandments, about 17 of them, which He gave that applied to His day, such as teaching how to pray, not to be as the hypocrites in prayer and fasting, take no thought for your life, cast the beam out of your own eye, pray for those who spread the word, beware of men, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, beware of the scribes, and deny yourself. All the other commandments of Jesus, about 68 of them, are from the written Torah of Moses.

MOST CHRISTIANS ALREADY KEEP MANY OF THE COMMANDMENTS, BUT WHICH ONES ARE THEY FAILING TO KEEP?

A) The Command to keep the Seventh Day Sabbath separate from work.

• This is so that we can rest and fellowship with Yahweh.

Mark 2:27 ​​ And He said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:

Keeping the sabbath is not hard.

Matthew 11:30 ​​ For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.

Jesus Christ calls a profession of faith in Him, and subjection to His ordinances, a yoke, in allusion to the Torah.

His 'burden', with respect to the very heavy ones the Jewish scribes and Pharisees laid upon the shoulders of the people, obliging them to a strict observance of their traditions (takanot).

Takanot are the Rabbinical commandments of Judaism. The traditions of men.

When Jesus died, the burden of the ceremonial ordinances of the Levitical priesthood were 'done away with'. Nailed to His cross. This also 'did away with' those added decrees of the Jewish Pharisees, the heavy burdens of the traditions of men.

Honoring the sabbath day is setting aside this day to rest from working for money, and from buying or selling.

Blue laws forbidding Sunday work have been on the books in the U.S. since 1650.

It wasn't until the 1970's that we abandoned this Commandment and businesses started opening on Sundays.

B) The Command to keep the 7 Annual Feasts of Yahweh forever.

• It’s not too difficult to keep the 7 annual feasts once you have learned about them and have completed a whole year’s cycle.

You can learn all about them in the Feast Days series, which covers each of the Holy Feasts of Yahweh, by opening the CALENDAR section on the website (Links are at the end of the document as well). The Feast Days teach the Gospel message. They are commandments for the children of Israel for a thousand generations.

Exodus 12:14 ​​ And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to Yahweh throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

1Corinthians 5:8 ​​ Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

The only difference between the way they are observed now, is that you don't have to appear at the Temple and bring animals for sacrifice. These Feast Days are simply memorials that we should never forget, for they are our heritage and reminders of what Yahweh did for our people. And they tell the plan of redemption. They are a family heirloom and a tradition that should be handed down to every generation, as commanded. They should be joyously celebrated just as one would celebrate the 4th of July. Jesus kept the Feast Days, the Apostles kept them, they were kept by many Christians over the last 2000 years, and some Christians continue to keep them today because we understand that they are commandments, they are our heritage, and because they honor God.

The 'churches' keep only Passover. They celebrate it according to the moon's cycle and to the wrong Jesus. This is because they have been deceived into believing that the Jews are the Israelites, and that these are Jewish feasts. The Jews are not Israelites, and the White people in the 'churches' who identify as transGentiles are actually the Israelites.

You can learn the truth about Who is Who by going to this section on the website.

C) The Commands to avoid idolatry, false gods, or mixing in some of their worship methods.

• In Deuteronomy 12:29-31 Yahweh commanded that we should never try to find out how false gods were worshiped and then turn around and worship Him in the same way. Christmas and Easter are merely pagan holidays which were celebrated for centuries before the time of Christ but were given Christian names and labels in our modern times.

For more information about the pagan origins of Easter and Christmas see Traditions of Men on the website menu.

Other forms of idolatry are sports figures, movie and music stars, Presidents, iPhones and selfies, symbols and statues.

D) The Command to avoid unclean foods.

• There are many unclean foods we are not supposed to eat and almost all of them are scavenger animals, environmental janitors, or bottom feeders which feed on rotten or diseased flesh, and other toxic garbage in order to dispose of them. The most common unclean meats many Westerners eat are pig meat, salt water sea creatures like crabs, shrimp, prongs and clams, as well as freshwater catfish, and rabbits but this is not the entire list of all unclean animals.

You can learn about what animals are deemed by God as unfit to eat in the study on Pork and the Unclean. We also cover all the verses the 'churches' use to say God cleansed these garbage disposing animals and transformed them into tasty delicatessens. None of those verses are about animals. They are about unclean men, referring to the 'lost' sheep of the house of Israel who were uncircumcised pagan Israelites that were wandering in darkness and now cleansed by the blood of the Christ. Other verses are about eating with unwashed hands. The 'churches' don't pay attention to context.

The 'churches' also fail to heed the many WARNINGS ABOUT FALSE DOCTRINES:

Yahshua (Jesus), Paul, the Apostles and the Prophets, warned us to beware of false prophets, wolves in sheep’s clothing, hirelings, and blind leaders of the blind. Blind leaders may be honest but only know part of the applicable scriptures on a particular subject. Because of their ignorance and inexperience they also leave important scriptures out of their teachings. On the other hand there are also people who are specialists about certain scriptural subjects while at the same time know very little about other scriptural subjects. The way to make the best of such situations is to learn to EAT THE FISH, AND THROW THE BONES AWAY. This means that a wise person should only accept what the scriptures clearly promote, or allow. Failure to be balanced by all of the scriptures (OT and NT) that apply to any given subject can leave us unbalanced in our doctrines and practices, and open us up to sin and error. When a teacher, preacher, or religious leader of any type comes along and tries to say that the law or the commandments are obsolete, or wants to start an endless antagonistic debate over what the Apostle Paul had to say about Law and Grace as if they are opposed to one another, … the quickest way to wake them up is to show them the scriptures in the New (Renewed) Testament (Covenant) which clearly promote the idea that we are currently supposed to continue keeping the Commandments of Elohim (God). Hopefully they will no longer have a love for Sloppy Agape or Greasy Grace once they are forced to make sense of all the scriptures they left out, after they are blended together into the total sum of scriptures.

While most preachers are not deliberately trying to deceive you and teach false doctrine, the fact and reality is that they are. They are repeating the same errors they have been taught. Seminary schools teach false doctrines, as they are institutions of the State. The 'churches' have been incorporated and became subservient to the State and so their Head cannot be Jesus Christ, because at law, the 'sovereign' to the corporation is the State. What happened during the COVID lockdowns? Did the 'churches' obey and put their trust in Jesus Christ? No, they closed down and lined up for the injection of the Beast.

Christianity started out as a heritage with one Lord, one faith, and one baptism. Now we have over 33,000 denominations that claim Christianity, and they all teach different Lords, different faiths, and different types of baptisms. Most of the denominations were invented only 300 years ago. The doctrine of antinomianism is only around 500 years old.

Another Commandment the 'churches' break is HOLINESS:

Another thing that flies in the face of Greasy Grace, Lasciviousness, and Lawlessness is the commandment to be holy (set-apart or separate from things Yahweh speaks against). He has commanded “Be ye holy for I am holy (1st Peter 1:15 & 16).

The 'churches' think 'holy' means pious, and they think they are holy because they believe. Holy means 'set-apart'. Set apart from what? Everything God commands in His Laws to eschew, have no fellowship or communion with, and the actions, beliefs, and thoughts that are contrary to His Word and instructions.

The 'churches' don't know these things because they have cast aside the law and the prophets.

They have abandoned the history and valuable lessons of the prophets, and they have rejected the commandments which teach us how to live, how to judge, how to govern society, and how to discern righteousness from unrighteousness.

REJECTING THE LAW OF YAHWEH ELOHIYM CAN CAUSE SOME REAL PROBLEMS:

1) ​​ Your prayers will be rejected as an abomination:

Proverbs 28:9 ​​ He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

John 9:31 ​​ Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth His will, him He heareth.

2) ​​ Yahweh will reject you, your children, and your priesthood:

Hosea 4:6 ​​ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shalt be no priest to Me: seeing you hast forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.

John 15:10 ​​ If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love.

3) ​​ You will be living in total darkness and have no light inside of you:

Proverbs 6:23 ​​ For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

Isaiah 8:20 ​​ To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

Matthew 5:19 ​​ Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

John 3:20 ​​ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

John 11:10 ​​ But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

Night is symbolic of ignorance of the Word of God. It signifies the darkness of one's own heart, and according to the maxims of this dark world. He falls into sin, because he cares not for nor understands the law.

4) Without Elohiym’s law, you might not have enough of His word to keep you alive:

Matthew 4:4 ​​ But He answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

EVERY SINGLE PART OF THE WORD OF YAHWEH ELOHIYM IS ETERNAL:

• • IT CANNOT PASS AWAY;

  • IT IS STILL IN EFFECT;

  • IT CANNOT BE THROWN AWAY;

  • IT CANNOT BE REPLACED.

  • IT CHANGES NOT.

1. Yahshua is an eternal being known as the “Word of God” in The Gospel of John and in The Book of ​​ Revelation. The “Word of God” is a large category which contains the “Law of God”, which in turn contains the “Commandments of God”. It is just as impossible for the law to pass away as it is for Yahshua's arm, leg or other body part to pass away. If people were able to throw the law away, they would actually be throwing a part of Yahshua away. Likewise, when they ignore the law, they are ignoring a part of Yahshua.

THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD FIT INSIDE OF THE LAW OF GOD, AND THE LAW OF GOD FITS INSIDE OF THE WORD OF GOD, AND YAHSHUA THE CHRIST IS THE WORD OF GOD. YOU CAN’T GET RID OF ONE WITHOUT GETTING RID OF THE OTHER.

2. ​​ The "truth" of Yahweh endures forever to all generations:

Psalm 100:5 ​​ For Yahweh is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations.

Psalm 117:2 ​​ For His merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of Yahweh endureth for ever. Praise ye Yahweh.

IF THE LAW WAS EVER THE TRUTH AT SOME POINT IN THE PAST, IT IS STILL THE TRUTH TODAY BECAUSE HIS TRUTH ENDURES FOREVER TO ALL GENERATIONS.

3. The "word" of Yahweh lives and abides forever:

1Peter 1:23 ​​ Being born from above, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

JUST AS THE WORD OF YAHWEH LIVES AND ABIDES FOREVER, SO DOES HIS LAW WHICH IS INSIDE OF HIS WORD.

THE WORD OF GOD IS STILL ALIVE RIGHT NOW:

Hebrews 4:12 For the Word of Elohiym is living, and working, and sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through even to the dividing of being and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

4:13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all are naked and laid bare before the eyes of Him with whom is our account.

THIS MEANS THAT THE LAW WHICH RESIDES WITHIN HIS WORD IS ALSO STILL ALIVE.

OLD TESTAMENT LAW IS STILL NEEDED TO LIVE:

Matthew 4:4 ​​ But He answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (Deut 8:3)

Jesus and the Apostles quoted from the OT. They taught the Law and the Prophets. The only scriptures at that time was the OT.

AS A PART OF “ALL SCRIPTURE”, OLD TESTAMENT LAW IS STILL PROFITABLE:

2Timothy 3:15 ​​ And that from a child you hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

3:16 ​​ All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

3:17 ​​ That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Your works cannot be 'good' if they are not founded upon the moral precepts of the Torah, and if you have not put on the new man.

• Shaul (Paul) could not have been talking about the New Testament since it had not been written yet, what "holy scriptures" could he have been referring to? It had to have been the Tanach (Old Testament). The Law and the Prophets.

• Notice that these Old Testament Scriptures are able to make a person wise unto salvation. Why would we want to throw away scriptures that could make us wise and save our souls?

'Just believing' in Jesus is not enough. If you have faith in Jesus, you must also have the same faith as Jesus. You must be a doer of the Word and not just a hearer. Faith without works is dead. When we are judged in that day, we are judged according to our works, which determines our reward. 'Just believing' in Jesus Christ does not make you righteous. Jesus simply 'cleaned the slate'. In order to keep your slate clean your duty is to revere God and keep His commandments.

Moses wrote what makes us righteous.

Deuteronomy 6:25 ​​ And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before Yahweh our God, as He hath commanded us.

No, simply following the commandments does not save us. Just like performing rituals never saved our ancestors. Salvation is free. Grace is a promise. But we can reject salvation and grace by rejecting His commandments. It's up to us to follow them, hence 'free will'. The only power we have is that we can erase our name out of the book of life by our lawless works.

Iniquity is G458 anomia, and means lawlessness. The condition without law, ignorant of the law, contempt and violation of the law.

What did Jesus say to the antinomian 'churches'?

Matthew 7:23 ​​ And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity (anomia).

• The word "all" in 2Timothy 3:16 above surely includes the Old Testament which is described as:

• given by inspiration of Yahweh

• profitable for doctrine

• profitable for reproof

• profitable for correction

• profitable for instruction in righteousness

• able to make you completely equipped to do good works.

There is a difference between 'works' and 'good works'. If you are not equipped with the knowledge of God's laws, then you are not able to do 'good' works.

THE OLD TESTAMENT IS THE FOUNDATION AND JUDGE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT:

Acts 17:10 ​​ And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Judaeans.

17:11 ​​ These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the Word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

According to the passage printed above -

• • • What “scriptures” were they referring to since the NT hadn't even been written yet?

• • • You will be more noble than Thessalonicans if you first readily receive the word, and later verify the truth of the sermons by comparing them with the scriptures.

• • • If the people in the NT compared the sermons of NT preachers with OT scriptures to see if they were telling the truth, then how did we ever get it all turned around backwards so that modern Christians use NT passages to justify their denomination's doctrine, rather than prove their denomination's doctrine by comparing it to the OT scriptures?

WE MUST GET BACK TO CONSIDERING THE OLD TESTAMENT (TANACH) AS THE FOUNDATION OF THE NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA), AND THAT IT IS OUR PRIMARY FILTER TO STRAIN OUT FALSE DOCTRINES, ERRORS, HERESIES, AND MISTRANSLATIONS WHICH APPEAR IN VARIOUS PLACES OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. BUT THE NEW TESTAMENT SHOULD NEVER BE USED AS A FILTER AGAINST THE OLD TESTAMENT WHICH IS THE SOURCE.

Antinomianism is also a view which rejects and argues against moral, religious, and civil norms. Taking the principle of salvation by faith and divine grace to the point of asserting that the 'saved' are not bound to follow the moral law contained in the Ten Commandments. They teach that 'just believing' is their justification. Some of them teach that they follow the 'law of Christ'. Blind to the fact that the 'law of Christ' is the same as the 'golden rule' which is the same as the 'royal law' which is the same as the moral precepts of the Torah, and all of which is the Word of God.

Some will even say they follow the 'spirit of the law'. But Jesus Christ showed that obeying the “letter of the law” is a matter of physical action, whereas obeying the “spirit of the law” requires more than just outward actions; it also involves an attitude of the mind, referred to as “circumcision of the heart”.

Anyone can obey a law. Not everyone will wilfully obey it from the heart, rejoice in it, and call it a delight.

The Father searches the heart. The same heart He wrote His laws upon. He wants to see sincerity, effort, zeal, and love in keeping His laws.

John 14:15 ​​ If ye love Me, keep My commandments.

Exodus 20:6 ​​ And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep My commandments.

Willie Martin

It was not the commandments, statutes and laws of Almighty God which Abraham was keeping that Paul refers to as coming four hundred and thirty years after the promise but it was the ritual or religious service which was established or added at Mount Sinai because of sin (Galatians 3:19).

Here Israel received their system of national worship, which had to do with the ordinances by which atonement was made for sin.

Establishment of this distinction between the law contained in commandments, statutes and judgments and the ordinances may not seem important. However, due to the erroneous teaching of multitudes of Christian Church leaders regarding the law and their acceptance of the false doctrine that Christians do not have to keep the law, it is necessary to define this distinction between the ritual (abolished in Christ) and the laws of administration which are still in operation.

God's Law is the very essence of life for, in the observance of the perfect Laws of God, life is worthwhile. The keeping of these laws is essential to orderly conduct and their administration is necessary in bringing justice and establishing equity and peace.

Christians who advocate doing away with the law and who refuse to accept the operation of the principles of the commandments, statutes, and judgments of the Lord as the law of life in the conduct of man individually, socially, economically and in the administration of national affairs, are no different from the anarchist; for he also advocates the abolition of law.

Christians holding such doctrines believe that they are above the need of keeping the law. Anarchism at its best stands for society made orderly by good manners, but where there is no law there is no standard of conduct or good manners and the end of such a society is but confusion and disorder.

Anarchists are in rebellion against government, but the Christians who refuse to observe and keep the laws of God are in rebellion against Divine rule and government.

Lest there be those who refuse to respect God's Commands and Government in their daily living and life, by making the excuse that the New Testament doctrine has set them free from law observance, it is well to listen to the words of Christ in Matthew 5:19-20:

"Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."

Here we have an interesting promise made to Christians, for only those who are called by God, and accept Christ are eligible to position and power in the Kingdom. Greatness in the Kingdom will come to those who have kept, and taught others to keep, even the least of the laws. Condemnation and a place of obscurity is promised to those who are presumptuous and refuse to keep even the least of them.

Did you know that America was founded on Christianity and the Law?

August 4, 1639 – The governing body of New Hampshire is established.

“Considering with ourselves the holy will of God and our own necessity, that we should not live without wholesome laws and civil government among us, of which we are altogether destitute, do, in the name of Christ and in the sight of God, combine ourselves together to erect and set up among us such government as shall be, to our best discerning, agreeable to the will of God…”

September 26, 1642 – The rules and precepts that were to govern Harvard were set up.

“Let every Student be plainly instructed, and earnestly pressed to consider well, the maine end of his life and studies is, to know God and Jesus Christ which is eternall life, John 17:3 and therefore to lay Christ in the bottome, as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and Learning. And seeing the Lord only giveth wisdome, Let every one seriously set himselfe by prayer in secret to seeke it of Him Prov. 2.3.”

Harvard College was founded on Christi Gloriam (For the Glory of Christ) and later dedicated Christo et Ecclesiae (Truth for Christ and the Ecclesia). The founders of Harvard believed that “all knowledge without Christ was vain.”

The charter of Yale University clearly expressed the purpose for which the school was founded: “Whereas several well disposed and Publick spirited Persons of their sincere Regard to & zeal for upholding & propagating of the Christian Protestant Religion … youth may be instructed in the Arts & Sciences who through the blessing of Almighty God may be fitted for Publick employment both in Church & Civil State.”

In addition to Harvard and Yale, 106 out of the first 108 schools in America were founded on the Christian faith.

April 3, 1644 – The New Haven Colony adopts their charter.

“That the judicial laws of God, as they were delivered by Moses … be a rule to all the courts in this jurisdiction …”

Summer 12, 1775 – Continental Congress issues a call to all citizens to fast and pray and confess their sin that the Lord might bless the land.

“And it is recommended to Christians of all denominations, to assemble for public worship, and to abstain from servile labor and recreation on said day.”

September 17, 1787 – The Constitution of the United States is finished.

At least 50 out of the 55 men who framed the Constitution of the United States were professing Christians.

Eleven of the first 13 States required faith in Jesus Christ and the Bible as qualification for holding public office.

1787 – James Madison, the “architect” of the federal Constitution and fourth president:

“We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future .. upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to sustain ourselves, according to the Ten Commandments of God.”

July 4, 1821 – John Quincy Adams:

“The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected, in one indissoluble bond, the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity. From the day of the Declaration … they (the American people) were bound by the laws of God, which they all, and by the laws of the Gospel, which they nearly all, acknowledged as the rules of their conduct.”

1833 – Noah Webster:

“The religion which has introduced civil liberty, is the religion of Christ and His apostles … This is genuine Christianity, and to this we owe our free constitutions and government … the moral principles and precepts contained in the Scripture ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws.”

Lincoln on the Bible:

“In regard to this Great Book, I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this book. But for it, we would not know right from wrong. All things most desireable for man’s welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it.”

1909 – President Theodore Roosevelt:

“After a week on perplexing problems … it does so rest my soul to come into the house of The Lord and to sing and mean it, ‘Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty’ … (my) great joy and glory that in occupying an exalted position in the nation, I am enabled, to preach the practical moralities of the Bible to my fellow-countrymen and to hold up Christ as the hope and Savior of the world.”

1913 – President Woodrow Wilson:

“America was born to exemplify the devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from the Holy Scriptures.”

January 20, 1977 – President Jimmy Carter:

“Here before me is the Bible used in the inauguration of our first President in 1789, and I have just taken the oath of office on the Bible my mother gave me just a few years ago, opened to the timeless admonition from the ancient prophet Micah: ‘He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God’” (Micah 6:2).

George Washington wrote in his farewell address:

Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked: Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.

It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government.

Observe good faith and justice towards all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all. Religion and morality enjoin this conduct; and can it be, that good policy does not equally enjoin it?

He also wrote:

"It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and Bible."

“The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained”

“Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.”

Noah Webster wrote:

Education is useless without the Bible.

God’s Word, contained in the Bible, has furnished all necessary rules to direct our conduct.

French historian Alexis de Tocqueville wrote:

“The safeguard of morality is religion, and morality is the best security of law as well as the surest pledge of freedom.”

Our secular education system, of course, makes the teaching of Biblical religion to American children impossible, but nothing prevents our educators from inculcating the moral principles of humanism which emphatically teach that there is no connection between religion and morality. Moral relativism, situational ethics, sexual freedom, and multiculturalism, which teaches that all value systems are equally valid, are now the order of the day.

Chuck Colson, the former special counsel to President Nixon who went to prison for his role in the Watergate cover-up, underwent a religious conversion that changed his life. In 1993, he lectured on the subject, "Can We Be Good Without God?" He said: "What we fail to realize is that rejecting transcendental truth is tantamount of committing national suicide. A secular state cannot cultivate virtue... We are taking away the spiritual element and abandoning morality based on religious truth, counting instead on our heads and our subjective feeling to make us do what is right."

Did you know that race-mixing is a sin?

Yahweh God demands we be separate and segregated from the other races. He set us apart from them, which is what Holy means; set apart. If you don't believe it, please see the study on Separate and Segregated, which covers all the verses that plainly show that God does not want us to race-mix, and that those children born of this fornication are bastards and not accepted by Him. The 'churches' teach that God loves everybody and that it is ok to race-mix, but there is no Scriptural proof that He approves of race-mixing, and this study on it proves it.

Even before America was founded, our people knew better.

The first ever law prohibiting interracial marriage was passed by the Maryland General Assembly in 1691.

It wasn't until the late 1800's when States started to repeal the laws banning interracial marriages.

Interracial marriage in the United States has been legal throughout the United States since at least the 1967.

Public approval of interracial marriage rose from around 5% in the 1950s to around 80% in the 2000s.

What happened after the 10 Commandments, the Bible, and prayer were removed from schools?

Judgment on our nation. Schools mandated poisonous vaccines, another banker's war sent our men to Vietnam, another unconstitutional expansion of government took over transportation, the Church of Satan was founded, interracial marriage was legalized, the IDCSP global military satellite program went live, causing the Hong Kong Flu, Monsanto was protected by the government so they could continue poisoning our food.

What happened after the Blue Laws forbidding Sunday work were repealed?

More judgment on our nation.

Abortion was legalized nationally, the House Committee on Un-American Activities was abolished, ending communist investigations of our communist politicians, remote control devices were invented causing Ebola, and child pornography was introduced.

If you examine the study on 'God Blessed America' you will see exactly what the results were following our continual straying from God.

Stumbling at the Law By Ben Williams (4 pgs)

https://www.benwilliamslibrary.com/pdfs/st11-1&2.pdf

Before we get into examining the first law, let's briefly cover what the 'churches' teach about the Covenant of Works. The 'churches' do not understand the difference between 'works' and the 'works of the law'. They don't understand the difference between the moral precepts and the ceremonial rituals. This is because the KJperVersion generalizes words, and so the reader does not understand these things because they read 'works', 'works of the law', 'deeds' and 'deeds of the law' all as the same thing. Basically, that they all mean 'the law' or 'good works', which we are under no obligation to keep or do. They don't understand the difference between 'works' and 'rituals'. So in their teachings they have 'done away with' the whole law, the Torah, and the Prophets. They throw the baby out with the bathwater.

They invented this 'Covenant of Works' doctrine.

Covenant of Works....in Scripture there is no such thing.

Theologians try to say Genesis 2:17 is this 'covenant of works'.

Genesis 2:15 ​​ And Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

2:16 ​​ And Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

2:17 ​​ But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

And then they try to link it to Hosea.

Hosea 6:7 ​​ But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against Me.

And to Romans.

Romans 10:5 ​​ For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

And Galatians.

Galatians 3:10 ​​ For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

Silly preachers, tricks are for one versers who know not what they teach.

The reference in Genesis is the command not to race mix, or follow some other god, way or system.

The reference in Hosea is speaking of the Sinai covenant made between Yahweh God and the children of Israel, which they broke.

The reference in Romans is speaking of the righteousness which the law requires. The reference of Romans 10:5 is Leviticus 18:5, and is referring to not only the moral precepts, but also the 'added' ordinances of the ritual law, which they had to follow for atonement. Those ritual laws were 'done away with' at the Cross, but the moral precepts were not, because the moral precepts were already established commandments before Sinai, and the moral precepts are eternal.

The reference in Galatians is speaking of the rituals of the law, which were 'done away with', but the Jewish Pharisees were still teaching that the rituals were what justified you. Galatians is not speaking of the moral precepts. Paul is teaching in Galatians the transition from performing rituals for justification to the faith in Christ for justification. Rituals were 'done away with'. The moral precepts were not.

Almost all the uses of 'works' in the OT are about Yahweh's wonderful works. The rest of the 'works' are a reference to the wicked works of men, or their righteous works.

Works is H4639 ma'aseh, and means deeds, work, the thing done, act, labour, pursuit, product, action (good or bad), activity.

Jesus Christ teaches in Matthew 5:16 to let our light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

In the NT, works is G2041 ergon, and means emloyment, undertaking, any product or thing accomblished by hand or mind, an act, deed, the thing done, labour.

In the NT, 'works' are about the mighty works of Jesus Christ. The other uses of 'works' in the Gospels is of Jesus teaching that we must do the works of God.

None of the uses of 'works' in the Gospels are about the ceremonial rituals. Jesus did not teach about maintaining the rituals, or 'works of the law'. Jesus taught about maintaining good works, which are the moral instructions of the Torah.

In Acts, the 'works' are either of God, or the works of men (good or bad).

In Romans chapters 1-11, 'works' are a reference to the rituals of the law.

Romans chapter 13 is speaking of good 'works', and 'works' of darkness.

Two different types of works are explained in Romans. The rituals and the moral precepts. Paul was teaching that the rituals, the 'works of the law' were 'done away with'.

2Corinthians, 'works' are speaking of the acts of false apostles.

Galatians chapters 1-3, 'works' are in reference to the rituals of the law. The 'works' of the ceremonial ordinances.

Galatians chapter 5 is speaking of evil 'works' of the flesh.

Two different types of works are explained in Galatians. The rituals and the moral precepts.

Ephesians chapter 2 verse 9 are the 'works' of the rituals. Verse 10 are 'good works' which we should walk in. Chapter 5 verse 11 are the unfruitful 'works' of darkness, which we are to reprove.

We see again, the two different types of 'works' in Ephesians. Only the rituals were 'done away with'.

Colossians 1:21 is speaking of wicked 'works'.

1Timothy chapters 2 and 5 and 6 are speaking of 'good works'.

2 Timothy chapters 1 and 3 and 4 are speaking of our 'works' and 'good works'.

Titus chapters 1-3 are speaking of 'works' and 'good works', which we must learn to maintain.

There is a difference between 'works' and 'good works' as well. 'Works' are our actions based on the moral precepts of the Torah. If you follow the Torah, you show 'good works'. If you do not follow the Torah, then you have just plain ol' 'works'. The 'good' part comes when you are a regenerated Christian who follows the moral precepts of the Torah.

This is why the 'churches' are called by Jesus Christ 'workers of iniquity'; because they are antinomians who think they can be Christians without the laws of Christ and the Torah.

Hebrews chapters 1-4 are speaking of Yahweh's 'works'.

Hebrews chapters 6 and 9 are speaking of 'dead works', meaning the rituals.

Hebrews chapter 10 teaches us to provoke one another unto love and to 'good works'.

So we see again, two different types of 'works' in Hebrews. The 'dead works' of the ceremonial rituals, which were 'done away with', and the 'good works' which are done by true Christians by living according to the moral precepts of the Torah.

James chapters 2 and 3 are speaking of 'works'. Faith without works is dead.

1Peter chapter 2 speaks of 'good works' which glorify God.

2Peter chapter 3 tells us that wicked 'works' shall be burned up.

1John chapter 3 is about the evil 'works' of the devil and of Cain.

Revelation chapters 2, 3, 9, 14, 18 and 20 are about 'works', both of good and evil.

Revelation chapter 15 are the marvellous 'works' of Yahweh.

Deeds in the OT is from several words. H1678 gemulah, H1697 dabar, H2617 chesed, H2896 tob, H4639 ma'aseh, H5949 aliylah, and H6467 po'al, none of which are about rituals, but rather of good or evil acts.

In the NT, deeds is G2041 ergon, the same as works. And also G4238 prasso, which means to perfom habitually or to practice.

In Romans chapter 2 we see 'deeds' referring to acts, but in chapter 3 we see 'deeds of the law' which refers to the rituals.

Romans chapter 8, 'deeds' of the body are referring to acts.

2Corinthians chapter 12 is speaking of 'mighty deeds'.

Colossians chapter 3 is speaking of the 'deeds' of the old man, which we are to put off.

2Peter chapter 2 is speaking of 'unlawful deeds', which vex our souls.

2John chapter 1 speaks against evil 'deeds'.

3John chapter 1 is speaking of 'malicious words and deeds'.

Jude speaks of the 'deeds' of the ungodly.

Revelation chapters 2 and 16 speaks of the wicked 'deeds' of the Nicolaitans, and the repentance of wicked 'deeds'.

We can plainly see that Scripture teaches us to maintain good works. We can also see that Paul taught that the 'works of the law', meaning the rituals, were what was 'done away with'.

We can also see that the KJperVersion does not differentiate between works and rituals, so it's easy to see how people are fooled into believing that works are not necessary.

It is the rituals that were 'done away with'. Not the necessity to maintain good deeds.

Jesus never taught to maintain the rituals. He taught that we will be judged and rewarded according to our works. Not ritual works, but rather behavioural works.

The ceremonial ritual ordinances of the Torah were 'done away with'.

The moral precepts of the Torah continue to be our guide to reach the heavenly kingdom.

One thing to keep in mind is that we are here for a purpose.

This Bible is about the Adamic race, born from above, into the flesh and blood creation of Adamic man endowed with the Spirit. We were with God, our Father, in the heavens before the earth was created, and we were born from above, and sent here to build the Kingdom.

The First Law

Genesis 2:16 ​​ And Yahweh God commanded (H6680 tsavah/H5921 'al- instructed) the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you mayest freely eat:

Eat is an allegory for to assimilate, absorb, participate.

Eat can be taken literally or figuratively. One of the meanings refers to eating food. It also means to lay with sexually.

​​ 2:17 ​​ But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shalt not eat of it: for in the day that you eatest thereof you shalt surely die.

This eating would refer to race mixing. Verse 16 is the literal meaning of eat. Verse 17 is the figurative meaning of eat.

Commanded is H6680 tsavah, and means to command, charge, give orders, appoint, set in order. And H5921 'al, and means upon, on the ground of, according to, on behalf of, concerning.

H6680 and H5921 are used together 7 times. The other 6 times are in Genesis 28:6 where Isaac 'gave him a charge (H6680/H5921)', saying, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan”.

1Kings 11:11 where Yahweh was angry with Solomon for turning his heart from Yahweh and going after other gods and taking strange wives.

2Chronicles 7:13 where Yahweh appears to Solomon by night and tells him if the people humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways He will forgive their sin. His punishment if they don't would be to command (H6680/H5921) the locusts to devour the land.

Locusts have both literal and symbolic aspects. One is of insects, the other is symbolic and can mean the other races which consume our substance and blessing, or symbolic of rulers or their bureaucratic deputies. These symbolic meanings are shown in Nahum where the rulers (thy crowned) are the locusts, which are a reference to the Assyrians as a nation which destroyed God's people by invasion and captivity. And in Joel the locusts are called “My great army”. These are referring to Assyrians, Babylonians, and any other non-Israelite peoples sent by Yahweh to punish the nations of Israel.

2Chronicles 19:9 where Jehoshaphat made some reforms and he had set judges in all the cities, and Levites, priests, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of Yahweh and for controversies, to enforce and keep the laws, commandments, statutes and judgments, so that the people are warned not to trespass against Yahweh, and so wrath does not come upon them.

Isaiah 5:6 where Isaiah's words represent the state and condition of the children of Israel by way of parable, which he calls a song. He refers to his people as a vineyard, and how Yahweh fenced it, meaning, He gave them good and wholesome laws which distinguished them, and kept them separate from other nations. He built a tower in the midst of it, in which watchmen stood to keep the vineyard, and see that it should bring forth grapes. Grapes are symbolic of Israelites. The vineyard brought forth wild grapes, which is a reference to disobedient Israelites. So Yahweh informs Isaiah that He will take away the vineyard's hedge, break down its wall and allow it to be trampled. And He will command ​​ (H6680/H5921) the clouds not to rain on it.

The cloud is a bearer of rain (the Word) and symbolizes His Word in abundance.

Jeremiah 35:6 which is showing the Rechabites as an example of obedience to the disobedient house of Judah. The Rechabites were the men that helped kill all the priests of Baal. They were very loyal to Yahweh. Their father, Jonadab the son of Rechab, commanded ​​ (H6680/H5921) his sons not to drink wine. Yahweh was chastising the house of Judah by comparing them to the Rechabites to show Judah what obedience is.

Since the Bible mentions sin several times in Genesis prior to Moses (Gen 4:7, 13:13, 18:20, 20:9, 31:36, 39:9, 42:22, 50:17)…Divine Law must have existed and been revealed to Adamic man prior to Moses, for sin to have been present! 1John 3:4 “Sin is the transgression of the law.”

The Bible indicates some of the ancients were good men. Hebrews 11:4-5 Abel was righteous, and Enoch pleased God. Enoch means “dedicated” or “teacher”. According to the Book of Jasher 3:4-8, Enoch taught the ways of God: “He went to the sons of Adam and taught them the ways of Yahweh; in all places where the sons of Adam dwelt.”

Jasher is H3477 yashar, and means 'upright'.

1Enoch 99:2 “Woe unto them who pervert the words of uprightness, and transgress the eternal law.”

1Enoch 106:13-14 “Some of the angels of heaven commit sin and transgress the law.” An eternal law existed before Moses, according to 1Enoch.

Also Noah was “blameless and walked with God” (Gen 6:9), and was a “preacher of righteousness” (2Pet 2:5). What is righteousness? Psalm 119:172 “All Thy commandments are righteousness.”

Righteous Noah may well have taught the commandments of God that righteous Abraham obeyed in Gen 26:5! Abraham knew Melchisedek (Gen 14:18-20)(Heb 7:3)! These individuals taught others about God and the principles of God’s (eternal) law.

Jesus said to the Jews who opposed Him in John 8:39, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.”

The books of Genesis and Job reflect most of the moral directives or laws that were later codified for the children of Israel in the Mosaic Law.

God’s righteous standards for mankind and the Kingdom of God, and even glimpses of Christ’s Gospel, are seen in the book of Genesis.

Genesis 6:1-5 shows that the nature of man (H120 adam) is wicked. Every imagination of man's heart is evil continually. God found men as sinners and destroyed them. In Genesis chapter 8, after the flood, the evil continued on the earth. We see in chapter 11 that men again refused to follow God's will. God commanded that men were to replenish the earth and scatter abroad. They refused and thought to build a tower and organize against God. In chapter 18, we see the wicked society of Sodom and Gomorrah.

The principle is that men are sinners and will be destroyed if they don't obey God.

God's laws are eternal, and they were clearly instructed from the beginning to Adam and his children after him, and they have been broken since the beginning.

When our ancestors were not following the law, they were breaking it.

Begin Part 4 of the audio presentation here  ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​​​ 

In the previous episode we read an article by Ben Williams about Stumbling at the Law. We covered the 'Covenant of Works', a phrase that does not exist in Scripture, and which the 'churches' try to teach is about the moral law and good works, and that those were all 'done away with'. And we briefly covered the fact that God gave our ancestors, starting with Adam, Torah.

Now would be a good time to cover the Torah of the Patriarchs. Torah means 'instruction' and 'teaching', and Yahweh God gave our ancient ancestors His laws and commandments. The Patriarchs, starting with Adam and on through Abraham's time, were Preachers of Righteousness. This was the first stage and Order of Melchizedec. These patriarchs were the head of the household of Yahweh God on the earth.

We need to cover what righteousness is. The 'churches' have it all wrong because they don't have the Holy Spirit to decode the message of Scripture, so they can't see or hear or understand the Bible. They are simply stuck in their pew and 'just believe' whatever their preacher and 'church' denomination's doctrine says. They don't search the Scriptures, they don't study the Hebrew and Greek words and meanings. They don't know or understand who is who, and they don't understand context.

So let's see how the Bible defines 'righteousness', and let's examine the examples of the righteousness of the ancient partriarchs of our holy ancestors, and briefly cover the righteous acts of our Israelite ancestors up through the time of Jesus and His disciples.

The Law of the Righteous and their Acts.

The 'churches' generally teach that when you 'accept Jesus', and you declare yourself 'saved', you are made righteous, and all you have to do is 'just believe'. Works are not necessary and the law has been 'done away with' and now you are under 'grace' and not the law.

But this is not what Scripture teaches.

The 'churches' have everything backwards.

It is Yahweh God who chooses and accepts you.

There is no such thing as 'being saved' or OSAS.

The law was not 'done away with', only the Levitical ordinances were 'done away with'.

Our works are what determines our reward, and they prove our faith.

Grace in conversion is glorified by putting a stop to the reign of sin. Grace teaches men not to sin, but to abstain from it. Grace is promised to those who keep God's commandments.

Grace is accessed by the faith of Jesus. The faith of Jesus is the allegiance and loyalty He has with the Father, and His faith is the model of what righteousness is, which is obedience to God's commandments and instructions, which is what Torah is. Torah means 'teaching' and 'instruction'.

Moses wrote that the Torah is our inheritance. It is to be valued and continued, and to be transmitted to our children, and to a thousand generations, as God's law is eternal.

Yahweh God is the author of the moral law, it is a copy of His nature; and is a declaration of His will, and is stamped with His authority.

Believing in Jesus does not make you righteous. Doing what Jesus taught and following His example is what makes you righteous. Jesus taught Torah. Jesus lived Torah.

The sacrifice Jesus made payed the price for the penalty of sin, which is eternal death. His work on the Cross simply gave you a chance to claim eternal life. Salvation is His free gift, but if you do not live according to the Torah, which are His instructions, then you are violating His will. Jesus did not die so you would 'just believe'. He died so that you would take this cleansing of your sins and return to His laws, which if a man do he shall find life.

Jesus cleaned the slate for you, and it set you back at neutral with the Father. The whole duty of man is to fear God and keep His commandments. The choice is yours, to do that which is right, or not.

The way you behave and conduct yourself is either according to the Torah, or according to the way of Cain. There is no middle ground. There is no other way to be justified.

You either do righteousness, or you do unrighteousness.

Righteousness is all God's commandments and instructions.

No, we can't perfectly follow all God's laws, and He doesn't expect us to. It's the effort He is looking at. We show Him how we love Him by keeping His commandments.

Having a perfect heart with God does not mean having perfect obedience. As we will see, a perfect heart is what God considers in those who willfully obey Him. A perfect heart is in those who love His law and do their best to live according to it.

Let's look at what Scripture teaches us about what righteousness is.

Deuteronomy 6:25 ​​ And it shall be our righteousness (H6666- righteous acts), if we observe to do all these commandments before Yahweh our God, as He hath commanded us.

Righteousness is H6666 tsedaqah (tsed-aw-kaw'), and means justice, vindicated, morally (virtue). It's related word H6663 tsadaq (tsaw-dak'), means to make right (in a moral or forensic sense): -cleanse, clear self, to be just, to turn to righteousness.

The word 'righteousness' is of a general character.

Righteousness is G1343 dikaiosune, and means the state of him who is as he ought to be, the condition acceptable to God, the way in which a man may attain a state approved of God. Integrity, virtue, purity of life, correctness of thinking, feeling, and acting. Justice or the virtue which give each his due. Equity (of character or act); specifically Christian justification.

Righteousness is also G1346 dikaios, and means to awake to live uprightly, agreeable to the law of rectitude. What is rectitude? Moral uprightness, the quality or condition of being correct in judgment, the quality of being straight.

The Bible defines “righteousness” as simply doing that which is right.

​​ 

1John 3:7 ​​ Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.

​​ 3:8 ​​ He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

​​ 3:9 ​​ Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

​​ 3:10 ​​ In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

Acts 10:35 ​​ But in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him.

In order for man to be pleasing to God he must be righteous for God is righteous.

Matthew 5:6 ​​ Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

To “hunger and thirst” after righteousness, supposes a want of righteousness. Where is this want coming from? The law which was written on our hearts.

The plan of the law is to develop the secret feelings of the heart. The sinner should be induced to take a remedy. That remedy would be to acknowledge you are a sinner, repent, and change your ways and your thinking.

Matthew 5:48 ​​ Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Perfect is G5046 teleios, and means complete (in various applications of labor, growth, mental and moral character), consummate integrity and virtue.

What is this way of being based on? Torah. The 'teaching' and 'instructions' of God.

Matthew 6:33 ​​ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

What is God's righteousness?

God's righteousness (or justice) is the natural expression of His holiness. Holy means set-apart. His laws are holy and set-apart. His people are holy and set-apart. Set-apart from what? Unrighteousness, lawlessness, immorality.

Romans 1:17 ​​ For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

This is not saying that those who have faith and 'just believe' are righteous.

'Faith to faith' means inward invisible faith having outward visible results on the outside. This is faith and works. Belief and action.

If you are 'just', then you are dikaios, which means an observer of divine laws. You are holy, which means set-apart. Set-apart from all those who are not 'just'.

Psalm 35:24 ​​ Judge me, O YAHWEH my God, according to Your righteousness; and let them (my enemies) not rejoice over me.

Righteousness in this verse is tsedeq, and means morally right. The only way to be morally right is to live according to moral law, which is the copy of God's nature; and is a declaration of His will.

To do what which is right (righteousness) one must know what is right.

Psalm 119:142 ​​ Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Your law is the truth.

Psalm 119:172 ​​ My tongue shall speak of Your word: for all Your commandments are righteousness.

John 8:31 ​​ Then said Jesus to those Judaeans which believed on Him, If you continue in My word, then are you are My disciples indeed;

​​ 8:32 ​​ And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

John 17:17 ​​ Sanctify them through Your truth: Your word is truth.

Psalm 119:151 ​​ You art near, O YAHWEH; and all Your commandments are truth.

However, it is not enough just to know what is right, one must do that which is right.

Matthew 7:21 ​​ Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven.

​​ 7:22 ​​ Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name? and in Your name have cast out devils? and in Your name done many wonderful works?

​​ 7:23 ​​ And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.

Iniquity is G458 anomia, which means lawlessness.

Faith does not void the law, it establishes it.

James 2:17 ​​ Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

​​ 2:18 ​​ Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

​​ 2:19 ​​ Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

​​ 2:20 ​​ But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

​​ 2:21 ​​ Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

​​ 2:22 ​​ Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

​​ 2:23 ​​ And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

​​ 2:24 ​​ Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

​​ 2:25 ​​ Likewise also was not Rahab the inn keeper justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

​​ 2:26 ​​ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Romans 10:10 ​​ For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Let's look at some examples of righteousness.

Abel

Hebrews 11:4 ​​ By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

The superior excellency of Abel's sacrifice to Cain's, lay both in the matter, and in the manner of it; the one was offered heartily to Yahweh, the other only in show; the one was offered in faith, the other not; Abel looked through his sacrifice to the sacrifice of Christ, not so with Cain.

The sacrifices were of divine institution, and were very early types of Christ.

As Cain was a husbandman, he brought a mincha, or eucharistic (thankful) offering, of the fruits of the ground, by which he acknowledged the being and providence of God, although Cain was not actually thankful, as he brought inferiour fruit and not the best of his harvest. Abel, being a shepherd or a feeder of livestock, brought, not only the eucharistic offering, but also of the produce of his flock as a sin-offering to God, by which he acknowledged his own sinfulness, God's justice and mercy, as well as His being and providence. Cain, not at all apprehensive of the demerit of sin, or God's holiness, contented himself with the mincha, or thank-offering: this God could not, consistently with His holiness and justice, receive with complacency.

Though it was by Abel's faith that he obtained, or received a witness in his own conscience, from the Spirit of God, testifying that he was a justified person; and in consequence of this, he had an outward testimony bore to him in the Scriptures, that he was a righteous person hence he is called righteous Abel, Matthew 23:35.

It wasn't just the outward obedience to the law, but it was also the inward attitude of the mind and the intentions of the heart that justified Abel.

The Patriarchs from Adam through Abraham knew Torah. Torah is not just the written law of Moses. Torah means 'teaching' and 'instruction'. All of scripture is Torah. We see that the Patriarchs taught Torah to their children.

Seth was the second Preacher of Righteousness.

From The Book of Adam and Eve 95:1 AFTER the death of Adam and of Eve, Seth severed his children, and his children's children, from Cain's children. Cain and his seed went down and dwelt westward, below the place where he had killed his half brother Abel.

2 But Seth and his children, dwelt northwards upon the mountain of the Cave of Treasures, in order to be near to their father Adam.

3 And Seth the elder, tall and good, with a fine soul, and of a strong mind, stood at the head of his people; and tended them in innocence, penitence, and meekness, and did not allow one of them to go down to Cain's children.

4 But because of their own purity, they were named "Children of God," and they were with God, instead of the hosts of angels who fell; for they continued in praises to God, and in singing psalms unto Him, in their cave--the Cave of Treasures.

12 They were happy, innocent, without sudden fear, there was no jealousy, no evil action, no hatred among them. There was no animal passion; from no mouth among them went forth either foul words or curse; neither evil counsel nor fraud. For the men of that time never swore, but under hard circumstances, when men must swear, they swore by the blood of Abel the just.

1John 3:7 ​​ Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.

​​ 3:8 ​​ He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

​​ 3:9 ​​ Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

The moment that you take error out of the thinking of man, you take it out of his acts. For every transgression, that has ever been committed, call it sin, or transgression or what you will, he has to think wrong before he acts wrong. This is one of the reasons why it is not the nature of God's children to think wrong and act wrong; but as they seek to conform to a world order which is not theirs, and it is not their destiny. When they seek to conform to it they will be bound somewhat by its policies and its influence.

The children of Adam were taught and warned not to follow the way of Cain.

There are at least a few people who believe that the reference to the sons of God, in Genesis, is a reference to the righteous descendants of Seth. Jesus refers to His followers as His brothers and sister, and as sons and daughters of God. So this need not refer to angels.

These people, having kept to the commandments of God, having abstained from the wantonness and lusts of the descendants of Cain, were still, to a greater extent, close to God's original creation in both physical and spiritual likeness.

As time went on, however, they became enamored with the women of Cain's line, and began to intermarry with them. In this way, the righteous were slowly being overcome by the wicked.

Enos

Genesis 4:26 ​​ And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of Yahweh.

“Enosh,” who was prominent in the line of Seth, was the originator of public prayer and spiritual worship. In it, the indescribable name of the eternal God was used.

Forgotten Books of Eden.

14:1 WHEN Enos was nine hundred years old, all the children of Seth, and of Cainan, and his first-born, with their wives and children, gathered around him, asking for a blessing from him.

2 He then prayed over them and blessed them, and adjured them by the blood of Abel the just saying to them, "Let not one of your children go down from this Holy Mountain, and let them make no fellowship with the children of Cain the murderer."

Cainan

Jasher 2:11 And Cainan grew up and he was forty years old, and he became wise and had knowledge and skill in all wisdom, and he reigned over all the sons of Adam, and he led the sons of Adam to wisdom and knowledge; for Cainan was a very wise man and had understanding in all wisdom, and with his wisdom he ruled over spirits and demons;

12 And Cainan knew by his wisdom that God would destroy the sons of Adam for having sinned upon land, and that Yahweh would in the latter days bring upon them the waters of the flood.

Forgotten Books of Eden.

15:1 AFTER the death of Enos, Cainan stood at the head of his people in righteousness and innocence, as his father had commanded him; he also continued to minister before the body of Adam, inside the Cave of Treasures.

2 Then when he had lived nine hundred and ten years, suffering and affliction came upon him. And when he was about to enter into rest, all the fathers with their wives and children came to him, and he blessed them, and adjured them by the blood of Abel, the just, saying to them, "Let not one among you go down from this Holy Mountain; and make no fellowship with the children of Cain the murderer."

Mahalaleel

From the Forgotten Books of Eden.

16:1 THEN Mahalaleel stood over his people, and fed them in righteousness and innocence, and watched them to see they held no intercourse with the children of Cain.

2 He also continued in the Cave of Treasures praying and ministering before the body of our father Adam, asking God for mercy on himself and on his people; until he was eight hundred and seventy years old, when he fell sick.

3 Then all his children gathered unto him, to see him, and to ask for his blessing on them all, ere he left this world.

4 Then Mahalaleel arose and sat on his bed, his tears streaming down his face, and he called his eldest son Jared, who came to him.

5 He then kissed his face, and said to him, "O Jared, my son, I adjure thee by Him who made heaven and earth, to watch over thy people, and to feed them in righteousness and in innocence; and not to let one of them go down from this Holy Mountain to the children of Cain, lest he perish with them.

Jared

Book of Jubilees 17:15 ​​ And in the second week of the tenth jubilee Mahalaleel took unto him to wife Dinah, the daughter of Baraki’el the daughter of his father's brother, and she bare him a son in the third week in the sixth year, and he called his name Jared; for in his days the angels of Yahweh descended on the earth, those who are named the Watchers, that they should instruct the children of Adam, and that they should do judgment and uprightness on the earth.

Forgotten Books of Eden

Jared turns martinet. He is lured away to the land of Cain where he sees many voluptuous sights. Jared barely escapes with a clean heart.

Martinet is a rigid military disciplinarian. One who demands absolute adherence to forms and rules.

17:1 THEN Jared kept his father's commandment, and arose like a lion over his people. He fed them in righteousness and innocence, and commanded them to do nothing without his counsel. For he was afraid concerning them, lest they should go to the children of Cain.

19:8 And Jared continued to teach his children eighty years; but after that they began to transgress the commandments he had given them, and to do many things without his counsel. They began to go down from the Holy Mountain one after another, and to mix with the children of Cain, in foul fellowships.

9 Now the reason for which the children of Jared went down the Holy Mountain, is this, that we will now reveal unto you.

Ravishing music; strong drink loosed among the sons of Cain. They don colorful clothing. The children of Seth look on with longing eyes. They revolt from wise counsel; they descend the mountain into the valley of iniquity. They can not ascend the mountain again.

Enoch

Hebrews 11:5 ​​ By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

​​ 11:6 ​​ But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

Sirach 44:16 ​​ Enoch pleased Yahweh, and was translated, being an example of repentance to all generations.

But without faith it is impossible to please Him,.... Or do things well pleasing in His sight; or any of the duties of The Belief, in an acceptable way; as prayer, praise, attendance on the word and ordinances, or any good works whatever; because such are without Christ, and without His Spirit; and have neither right principles, nor right ends: for this is not to be understood of the persons of God's elect.

Enoch had this testimony, that he pleased God - Implied in the declaration in Genesis 5:22, that he "walked with God." This denotes a state of friendship between God and him, and of course implies that his conduct was pleasing to God.

The Heavenly Tablets and the Mission of Enoch.

Enoch 81:1-6 And he said unto me:
'Observe, Enoch, these heavenly tablets,
And read what is written thereon,
And mark every individual fact.'

And I observed the heavenly tablets, and read everything which was written (thereon) and understood everything, and read the book of all the deeds of mankind, and of all the children of flesh that shall be upon the earth to the remotest generations. And forthwith I blessed the great Yahweh the King of glory for ever, in that He has made all the works of the world,

And I extolled Yahweh because of His patience,
And blessed Him because of the children of Adam.

And after that I said:
'Blessed is the man who dies in righteousness and goodness,
Concerning whom there is no book of unrighteousness written,
And against whom no day of judgment shall be found.'

Forgotten Books of Eden

22:7 Enoch said also to them, "Watch over your souls, and hold fast by your fear of God and by your service of Him, and worship Him in upright faith, and serve Him in righteousness, innocence and judgment, in repentance and also in purity."

8 When Enoch had ended his commandments to them, God transported him from that mountain to the land of life, to the mansions of the righteous and of the chosen, the abode of Paradise of joy, in light that reaches up to heaven; light that is outside the light of this world; for it is the light of God, that fills the whole world, but which no place can contain.

9 Thus, because Enoch was in the light of God, he found himself out of the reach of death; until God would have him die.

10 Altogether, not one of our fathers or of their children, remained on that holy mountain, except those three, Methuselah, Lamech, and Noah. For all the rest went down from the mountain and fell into sin with the children of Cain. Therefore were they forbidden that mountain, and none remained on it but those three men.

The Book of the Secrets of Enoch Chapter 9

The showing to Enoch of the place of the righteous and compassionate.

THIS place, O Enoch, is prepared for the righteous, who endure all manner of offence from those that exasperate their souls, who avert their eyes from iniquity, and make righteous judgement, and give bread to the hungering, and cover the naked with clothing, and raise up the fallen, and help injured orphans, and who walk without fault before the face of Yahweh, and serve Him alone, and for them is prepared this place for eternal inheritance.

Lamech

In Lamech's heart he was not a Yahweh worshiper.

Jasher 5:19 ​​ And Lamech the father of Noah, died in those days; yet verily he did not go with all his heart in the ways of his father, and he died in the hundred and ninety-fifth year of the life of Noah.

Noah

The 8th Preacher of Righteousness

2Peter 2:5 ​​ And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

Genesis 6:9 ​​ These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

Genesis 7:1 ​​ And Yahweh said unto Noah, Come you and all your house into the ark; for you have I seen righteous before Me in this generation.

Hebrews 11:7 ​​ By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

His faith rested in the Word of God. He obeyed His commandments. ​​ 

With reverence of God, from whom he received the oracle; and with a religious fear, with which he worshipped God, and which he discovered by a regard to His Word and ordinances; and which fear does not arise from nature, but from grace; and is increased by the discoveries of divine love; and is consistent with faith, goes along with it, and is a fruit of it: hence he prepared an ark for the saving of his house.

By the which he condemned that land: the inhabitants of the known world, the world of the ungodly: as a preacher, he declared they would be condemned, in case of impenitence and unbelief; and his words heard, and his actions seen by them, were aggravations of their condemnation; for by his works, as well as by his words, he reproved, and condemned them; by building the ark, as he declared his own faith, so he condemned their unbelief.

Everything which Noah did in reference to the threatened deluge, was done in virtue of simple faith or belief of what God said. ​​ 

He condemned the world - That is, the wicked world around him. The meaning is, that by his confidence in God, and his preparation for the flood, he showed the wisdom of his own course and the folly of theirs. We have the same phrase now in common use where one who sets a good example is said to "condemn others." He shows the guilt and folly of their lives by the contrast between his conduct; and theirs. The wickedness of the sinner is condemned not only by preaching, and by the admonitions and threatenings of the Law of God, but by the conduct of every good man. The language of such a life is as plain a rebuke of the sinner as the most fearful denunciations of divine wrath.

Shem

The Kebra Nagast

1 And then NOAH the righteous man died, and SHEM reigned in wisdom and righteousness

2 And again, after the Flood, the Devil, our Enemy, did not cease from his hostility against the children of NOAH, but stirred up CANAAN, the son of HAM, and he became the violent tyrant (or usurper) who rent the kingdom from the children of SHEM.

Now they had divided the earth among them, and NOAH had made them swear by the Name of his God that they would not encroach on each other's boundaries, and would not eat the beast that had died of itself or had been rent [by wild animals], and that they would not cultivate harlotry against the law, lest God should again become angry with them and punish them with a Flood.

The food laws were known before the Torah of Moses.

Torah was passed down from each patriarch to their children after them. The chosen line goes through...

Arphaxad

Kainan

Salah

Heber the father of the Hebrews.

Peleg In the days of Peleg, “the land was divided”. This was the time just before the Tower of Babel.

Reu

Jubilees 10:18 ​​ And in the three and thirtieth jubilee, in the first year in the second week, Peleg took to himself a wife, whose name was Lomna the daughter of Sina'ar, and she bare him a son in the fourth year of this week, and he called his name Reu; for he said: 'Behold the children of Adam have become evil through the wicked purpose of building for themselves a city and a tower in the land of Shinar.'

Serug

Jubilees 11:3-7 ​​ And 'Ur, the son of Kesed, built the city of 'Ara of the Chaldees, and called its name after his own name and the name of his father. And they made for themselves molten images, and they worshipped each the idol, the molten image which they had made for themselves, and they began to make graven images and unclean simulacra, and malignant spirits assisted and seduced them into committing transgression and uncleanness. And the prince Mastema (Satan) exerted himself to do all this, and he sent forth other spirits, those which were put under his hand, to do all manner of wrong and sin, and all manner of transgression, to corrupt and destroy, and to shed blood upon the earth. For this reason he called the name of Seroh, Serug, for every one turned to do all manner of sin and transgression. And he grew up, and dwelt in Ur of the Chaldees, near to the father of his wife's mother, and he worshipped idols, and he took to himself a wife in the thirty-sixth jubilee, in the fifth week, in the first year thereof, and her name was Melka, the daughter of Kaber, the daughter of his father's brother. And she bare him Nahor, in the first year of this week, and he grew and dwelt in Ur of the Chaldees, and his father (in-law?) taught him the researches of the Chaldees to divine and augur, according to the signs of heaven.

Nahor the Elder

Jubilees 11:7 ​​ and he (Nahor) grew and dwelt in Ur of the Chaldees, and his father (Serug) taught him the researches of the Chaldees to divine and augur, according to the signs of heaven.

Terah, Abraham's father, and his grandfather Nahor were idolators.

Abraham

Abraham knew from a young age that his father was an idolator.

Jubilees 11:15-16 ​​ And the child began to understand the errors of the earth that all went astray after graven images and after uncleanness, and his father taught him writing, and he was two weeks of years old (14), and he separated himself from his father, that he might not worship idols with him. And he began to pray to the Creator of all things that He might save him from the errors of the children of men, and that his portion should not fall into error after uncleanness and vileness.

Genesis 17:1 ​​ And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, Yahweh appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before Me, and be you perfect.

Hebrews 11:8 ​​ By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

Abraham obeyed the divine call; which was a fruit and evidence of his faith.

​​ 11:9 ​​ By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

​​ 11:10 ​​ For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

The city of the new Jerusalem, said to have twelve foundations, Revelation 21:14

Abraham was "looking" by faith; he looked through, and above temporal things, to spiritual things.

Genesis 12:5, "and the souls they had gotten in Haran," as referring to the servants or domestics that they had in various ways procured, and to the fact that Abraham and Lot gradually drew around them a train of dependents and followers who were disposed to unite with them, and accompany them wherever they went. The Chaldee Paraphrast; understands it of the proselytes which Abraham had made there - "All the souls which he had subdued unto the law." ​​ ​​ 

​​ 11:11 ​​ Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.

Hebrews 10:23 ​​ Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised;)

James 2:21 ​​ Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

​​ 2:22 ​​ Seest you how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

​​ 2:23 ​​ And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

​​ 2:24 ​​ Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

Inward and outward faith is perfection in God's eyes.

Lot

Genesis 18:23 ​​ And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt You also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

​​ 18:24 ​​ Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt You also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?

Genesis 19:15 ​​ And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take your wife, and your two daughters, which are here; lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city.

2Peter 2:7 ​​ And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

​​ 2:8 ​​ (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

​​ 2:9 ​​ Yahweh knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

​​ 2:10 ​​ But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

Job

Job 1:8 ​​ And Yahweh said unto Satan, Hast you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

Job 42:7 ​​ And it was so, that after Yahweh had spoken these words unto Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends: for ye have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

​​ 42:8 ​​ Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and My servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of Me the thing which is right, like My servant Job.

We see, even in Job, centuries before the Torah of Moses, that even speaking folly requires atonement and repentance.

Moses

All of Israel were told to be perfect (which means they could).

Deuteronomy 18:13 ​​ You shalt be perfect with Yahweh your God.

Deuteronomy 32:4 ​​ He is the Rock, His work is perfect: for all His ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He.

When you walk in His instructions and commandments, which are perfect, then you will be considered perfect. The willfull obedience to walk in His Torah is the perfection of the heart.

Hebrews 11:23 ​​ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.

Which is to be understood, not of the faith of Moses, but of the faith of his parents. And they were not afraid of the king's commandment; nor did they observe it, for it was contrary to nature, and to the laws of God, and to the promise of God's multiplying of that people, and to their hopes of deliverance.

​​ 11:24 ​​ By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

​​ 11:25 ​​ Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

​​ 11:26 ​​ Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

The "recompense of the reward" here referred to must mean the blessedness of heaven - for he had no earthly reward to look to. He had no prospect of pleasure, or wealth, or honor, in his undertaking. If he had sought these, he would have remained at the court of Pharaoh. The declaration here proves that it is right to have respect to the rewards of heaven in serving God.

King David

2Samuel 22:21 ​​ Yahweh rewarded me according to my righteousness (H6666): according to the cleanness (purity) of my hands hath He recompensed me.

​​ 22:22 ​​ For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not wickedly departed from my God. ​​ 

​​ 22:23 ​​ For all His judgments were before me: and as for His statutes, I did not depart from them. ​​ 

​​ 22:24 ​​ I was also upright before Him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.

​​ 7:11 ​​ God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

​​ 7:12 ​​ If he turn not, He will whet His sword; He hath bent His bow, and made it ready.

Psalm 18:20 ​​ Yahweh rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.

​​ 18:21 ​​ For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

​​ 18:22 ​​ For all His judgments were before me, and I did not put away His statutes from me.

​​ 18:23 ​​ I was also upright before Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

​​ 18:24 ​​ Therefore hath Yahweh recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His eyesight.

​​ 18:25 ​​ With the merciful You wilt shew Yourself merciful; with an upright man You wilt shew Yourself upright;

​​ 18:26 ​​ With the pure You wilt shew Yourself pure; and with the froward You wilt shew Yourself froward.

We see that David's righteousness was from following God's laws.

​​ 11:6 ​​ The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.

Proverbs 10:2 ​​ Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness (H6666) delivereth from death.

Righteousness is clearly the Law of God.

King Asa

1Kings 15:11 ​​ And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, as did David his father.

​​ 15:14 ​​ ...nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with Yahweh all his days.

Asa did take away the altars, the high places, broke down the images, and cut down the groves of Asherah, commanded Judah to seek Yahweh God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.

King Hezekiah

2Kings 18:3 ​​ And he did that which was right in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that David his father did.

​​ 18:4 ​​ He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.

​​ 18:5 ​​ He trusted in Yahweh God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him.

​​ 18:6 ​​ For he clave to Yahweh, and departed not from following Him, but kept His commandments, which Yahweh commanded Moses.

We see that willful obedience from the heart is what Yahweh is searching for.

2Kings 20:3 ​​ I beseech You, O YAHWEH, remember now how I have walked before You in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in Your sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

King Josiah

2Kings 22:2 ​​ And he did that which was right in the sight of Yahweh, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.

2Kings 23:25 ​​ And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to Yahweh with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.

If only our rulers today would be like these good kings of Judah.

Even the prophets taught Torah.

Isaiah 33:15 ​​ He that walketh righteously (H6666- acts righteously), and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

Ezekiel 18:5 ​​ But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right (H6666- executes judgment and righteousness),

​​ 18:9 ​​ Hath walked in My statutes, and hath kept My judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith Yahweh GOD.

Abel and Zacharias

Hebrews 11:4 ​​ By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

1John 3:7 ​​ Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.

Notice John did not teach that 'just believing' in Jesus makes you righteous. He taught that doing righteousness is how you are considered righteous.

What is righteousness? All the commandments of God are righteousness.

The priest Zacharias and his wife Elisabeth

Luke 1:5 ​​ There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

​​ 1:6 ​​ And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of Yahweh blameless.

John the Baptist

Mark 6:20 ​​ For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just (dikaios) man and an holy...

Luke 1:17 ​​ And he shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for Yahweh.

We see again that the heart plays the key role in righteousness, because the law was written on it.

Just is G1342 dikaios, and means righteous, observing divine laws.

Simeon

Luke 2:25 ​​ And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just (dikaios) and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

We know that the Holy Spirit is given to only those who obey God.

Joseph, Mary’s husband

Matthew 1:19 ​​ Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.

Joseph was going to follow the law of divorce, thinking that Mary had cheated on him, but the angel of Yahweh said that she was conceived of the Holy Spirit.

Joseph, the counsellor

Luke 23:50 ​​ And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:

The same word again, dikaios. Uncle Joseph was a righteous man who observed the divine laws.

Jesus

Of course, Jesus taught what righteousness is.

​​ 13:49 ​​ So shall it be at the end of the world (age): the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just (G1342- observers of the divine laws),

Cornelius

Acts 10:1 ​​ There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,

​​ 10:2 ​​ A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.

​​ 10:22 ​​ And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just (dikaios) man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Judaeans, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for you (Peter) into his house, and to hear words of you.

Even before Cornelius heard of the Gospel, he and his house followed the law written on their hearts. Even Cornelius knew the whole duty of man, which is to fear God and keep His commandments.

The Apostle Paul (after his conversion)

1Thessalonians 2:10 ​​ Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:

Romans 2:13 ​​ (For not the hearers of the law are just (G1342- approved) before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified (G1344- rendered righteous).

Romans 6:16 ​​ Know ye not, that to whom ye yield (present) yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness (G1343- virtue)?

​​ 6:17 ​​ But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

The law written on our hearts.

Ephesians 5:9 ​​ (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness (G1343- purity, integrity, virtue, doctrine of The Way) and truth;)

​​ 3:17 ​​ That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Hebrews 10:38 ​​ Now the just (G1342- the virtuous, those observing the divine laws) shall live by faith (allegiance): but if any man draw back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him.

Hebrews 13:21 ​​ Make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

See how it's not our keeping the law perfectly, which is impossible, but rather it's about the intentions of the heart and the attitude of the mind?

James

James 1:4 ​​ But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

James 2:22 ​​ Seest you how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

James 3:2 ​​ For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

Peter

1Peter 2:24 ​​ Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness (G1343- the doctrine of The Way): by whose stripes ye were healed.

1Peter 3:12 ​​ For the eyes of the Prince are over the righteous (G1342- those observing the divine laws), and His ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Prince is against them that do evil.

1Peter 5:10 ​​ But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

The "righteous acts" of all these patriarchs, kings, prophets, and of Jesus and His apostles are the outworking of ones faith, which are visible to the eye.

Revelation 22:12 ​​ And, behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Revelation 22:14 ​​ Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

John 14:15 ​​ If ye love Me, keep My commandments.

Begin Part 5 of the audio presentation here  ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​​​ 

Yahweh appears unto Isaac and gives him instructions, and He reminds him of His oath He sware unto Abraham his father.

Genesis 26:5 ​​ Because that Abraham obeyed (H8085- listened to) My voice, and kept (H8104- observed) My charge (H4931), My commandments (H4687- instructions), My statutes (H2708), and My laws (H8451- torah).

Obeyed is H8085 shama', usually a verb, and means to hear intelligently, with attention, obedience, to perceive and understand, to give heed, to consent, agree, to regard, to obey.

From chapter 12 we see that Abraham obeyed Yahweh's voice and all that was spoken unto him. He left his idolatrous kindred. In chapter 13 he demonstrated brotherly love with Lot, and Yahweh showed Abraham the land which He will give to him and his seed. In chapter 14 Abraham recovered his brother Lot and his goods and his people from Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him with the help of Yahweh.

Charge is H4931 mishmereth, a noun, and means guard, charge, function, obligation, service, watch, duty.

Abraham kept the ordinances and appointments of God. These were always two kinds:

1. Such as tended to promote moral improvement.

2. Such as were typical of the promised seed, and the salvation which was to come by him.

Commandments is H4687 mitsvah, a noun, and is a commandment (of men or of God), a code of wisdom. A command (collectively the Law), an ordinance, a precept.

Statutes is H2708 chuqqah (khook-kaw'), a noun, and means a statute, ordinance, limit, enactment, something prescribed.

My Laws is H8451 torah, a noun, and means law, direction, instruction (by men or divine), body of prophetic teaching, body of legal directives, law of burnt offering, codes of law, custom, manner.

Its related word is H3384 yarah, a verb, and means to flow as water (that is, to rain); transitively to lay or throw (especially an arrow, that is, to shoot); figuratively to point out (as if by aiming the finger), to teach, to inform, to direct, to show.

Abraham obeyed Yahweh's voice. To do so, the promise shall be sure to you. Obedience shall have the benefit of Yahweh's covenant with our people today, that tread the steps of Abraham's obedience.

Sirach 44:20 ​​ Who kept the law of the most High, and was in covenant with Him: He established the covenant in his flesh; and when he was proved, he was found faithful.

44:21 ​​ Therefore He assured him by an oath, that He would bless the nations in his seed, and that He would multiply him as the dust of the earth, and exalt his seed as the stars, and cause them to inherit from sea to sea, and from the river unto the utmost part of the land.

44:22 ​​ With Isaac did He establish likewise for Abraham his father's sake the blessing of all men, and the covenant,

44:23 ​​ And made it rest upon the head of Jacob. He acknowledged him in his blessing, and gave him an heritage, and divided his portions; among the twelve tribes did He part them.

44:24 ​​ And He brought out of him a merciful man, which found favour in the sight of all flesh, even Moses, beloved of God and men, whose memorial is blessed.

Why is H8451 torah used before the Torah was given? Because the whole Bible is Torah. Torah means teaching and instruction.

There’s a parallel between Gen 26:5 and Deut 11:1 and these words are used to describe what Abraham obeyed from God and they are all used to describe what God gave the children of Israel at Sinai.

The Hebrew word for "Law" in the OT is like being taken to your father's house, for a family gathering with your brothers and sisters, to hear your father teach you how to reach the heavenly city and gain eternal life. This definition resembles preventative measures or training to help you avoid breaking a law in the first place.”

Torah (H8451 in Strong's) comes from the root word (yarah) which literally means to flow, and in context, can mean to throw, point at, aim, shoot. It is one of the Hebrew Words for Teaching, and is in the sense of how a parent teaches their child by pointing him in the right direction to go in life. Therefore, a more accurate translation of Torah would be "Teaching", or "a pointing in the right direction to go (by the one Teaching, in this case, Yahweh)".

Isaiah 54:13 ​​ And all your children shall be taught by Yahweh; and great shall be the peace of your children.

54:14 ​​ In righteousness shalt you be established:

What is righteousness? Psalm 119:172 “All Thy commandments are righteousness.”

What establishes us in righteousness? Deuteronomy 6:25 ​​ And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before Yahweh our God, as He hath commanded us.

Furthermore, this makes more sense when we consider that the word "keep" more accurately means "guard", so instead of "keep My laws", we have "guard My teachings". Doesn't this more accurately describe how a loving Father looks after his children and how the children show their adoration and respect for their Father?

The Laws of God ​​ by Bertrand Comparet

The Passover

Exodus 12:24 ​​ And you shall observe (H8104- be observing) this thing (H1697) for an ordinance (H2706- statute) to you and to your sons for ever.

​​ 12:25 ​​ And it shall come to pass, when you be come to the land which Yahweh will give you, according as He hath promised, that you shall keep (H8104- be observing) this service (H5656).

These feasts and services were to take place when they came to the Promise Land, and continues today. Minus the ceremonial aspects.

​​ 12:26 ​​ And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean you by this service (H5656)?

​​ 12:27 ​​ That you shall say, It is the sacrifice of Yahweh's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when He smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.

The passover and unleavened bread were to be passed on to all the offspring of Israel forever.

In verse 24, observe is H8104 shamar, a verb, and means to keep, guard, give heed, celebrate, preserve, reserve, beware, to keep watch and protect, to save life, treasure up (in memory). To hedge about. We see in Isaiah 5:6 that Yahweh will remove His vineyard's hedge if they continue to sin.

Where it says 'observe this thing' thing is H1697 dabar, a noun, and means word, speech, saying, utterance, business, occupation, acts, matter, case, manner.

Deuteronomy is D'bariym in the Hebrew, meaning, These are the Words.

Ordinance is H2706 choq (khoke), a noun, and means statute, limit, something prescribed, decree, law in general, conditions, enactments, appointment, custom, task.

In verse 26, service is H5656 abodah, a noun, and means labour, work, service (of God).

The related word is H5647 abad, a verb, and means to work, to serve, to till, to dress.

In Genesis 2:5 we read “...and there was not a man to till the ground.”

Till is H5647 abad.

In Genesis 2:15 Adam was placed in the garden to dress it and to keep it.

Dress is H5647 abad, and keep is H8104 shamar.

From the beginning, our race is to be in the service (abodah) of God. To be the light on the hill and establish righteousness according to His laws.

Exodus 12:42 ​​ It is a night to be much observed (H8107) unto Yahweh for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of Yahweh to be observed (H8107) of all the children of Israel in their generations (H1755).

Generations is H1755 dor, a noun, and means habitation, dwelling, posterity.

Exodus 12:49 ​​ One law (H8451- Torah) shall be to him that is homeborn (a native), and unto the stranger (proselyte, converted kinsman) that sojourneth (dwells as a guest) among you.  ​​​​ (Num 9:14 15:15-16)

Stranger in verses 48 and 49 is ger. A converted Israelite kinsman.

Israelite sojourners from another land must observe the law when among you.

The Passover is an exclusive observance for Israelites only.

Verse 43 in the Hebrew reads “...There shall no son of a racial alien eat thereof”.

In Exodus chapter 13 verses 6-10 is the observance of the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

Exodus 13:9 ​​ And it shall be for a sign unto you upon your hand, and for a memorial (reminder) between your eyes, that Yahweh's law (H8451- Torah) may be in your mouth: for with a strong hand hath Yahweh brought you out of Egypt.

A 'memorial between your eyes' is a metaphorical usage of “all your thoughts”. The feast of unleavened bread is a reminder that should never be forgotten.

After Moses brought Israel from the Sea of Reeds into the wilderness of Shur, they went three days finding no water, murmering to Moses.

Exodus 15:25 ​​ And he cried unto Yahweh; and Yahweh shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there He made for them a statute (H2706) and an ordinance (H4941- judgment), and there He proved them,

​​ 15:26 ​​ And He (Yahweh) said, If you wilt diligently hearken to the voice of Yahweh your God, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give ear to His commandments (H4687- instructions), and keep (H8104- observe) all His statutes (H2706), I will put none of these diseases upon you, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am Yahweh that healeth you.  ​​​​ (Deut 7:12,15)

Commandments is H4687 mitsvah, which is of code of wisdom.

Keep is H8104 shamar, which is to observe, guard, give heed.

Statutes is H2706 choq, which is law in general, something prescribed, a task.

Sirach 38:5 ​​ Was not the water made sweet with wood, that the virtue thereof might be known?

Exodus chapter 16 begins with the children of Israel murmuring to Moses about food.

Exodus 16:4 ​​ Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven (the sky) for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate (portion) every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in My law (H8104- Torah), or no.

Wisdom 16:26 ​​ That Thy children, O Yahweh, whom You lovest, might know, that it is not the growing of fruits that nourisheth man: but that it is Thy word, which preserveth them that put their trust in Thee.

The next few verses were instructions for gathering the manna. Each was to gather according to his eating. None was to be left till the morning. The sixth day they were to gather twice as much and it would be enough for the Sabbath. But some of the people disobeyed and went out to gather on the Sabbath, finding none.

Exodus 16:28 ​​ And Yahweh said unto Moses, How long refuse you to keep (H8104- observe) My commandments (H4687- instructions) and My laws (H8451- Torah)?

Commandments is H4687 mitsvah, which is of code of wisdom.

Laws is Torah. Note: The written 'torah' was not given yet, that comes when they get to Sinai. Whether written or spoken, Yahweh's law is in effect and does not cease.

Psalm 78:10 ​​ They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in His law;

78:22 ​​ Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in His salvation:

Jethro is a title, not a name. Reuel was his name.

In Exodus chapter 18 Moses' father-in-law Jethro came to meet him along with Moses' wife and two sons. Moses tells of the works Yahweh did for the children of Israel in delivering them out of the hands of the Egyptians.

The next day, Jethro observes that Moses sat from morning to evening judging, or litigating, all the people. Jethro asks why Moses does this by himself.

Exodus 18:15 ​​ And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:

​​ 18:16 ​​ When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know (H3045) the statutes (H2706) of God, and His laws (H8451- Torah).

Know is H3045 yada, a verb, and means to perceive, comprehend, understand.

Statutes is H2706 choq, a noun, and means law in general.

Laws is H8451 torah, the code of law governing customs and manner.

Jethro gives advice and councel to Moses.

​​ 18:19 ​​ Hearken now unto my voice, I will give you counsel, and God shall be with you: Be you for the people to God-ward (You must be in front of Elohiym for the people), that you mayest bring the causes unto God:

Moses, being a Levite, was a mediator for the people to Yahweh.

​​ 18:20 ​​ And you shalt teach them ordinances (H2706- statutes, law in general) and laws (H8451- Torah), and shalt shew (H3045- instruct) them The Way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.

Jethro goes on to recommend Moses provide able men who revere Yahweh to handle the small matters of the people, while the greater matters should be brought to Moses.

If only our teachers and preachers today would instruct our people in The Way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do. But sadly they don't, they teach our people that the laws of God were 'done away with', and they are not obligated to follow any of His laws in general, because all they have to do is 'just believe'. Apparently the law no longer is perfect, or can convert the soul, the testimonies are no longer sure and needed to make wise the simple. The statutes of the Lord are no longer right, and bacon rejoices the heart. The commandment of the Lord is no longer pure, enlightening the eyes, because rapture tickets are sweeter than the honeycomb.

When will our people wake up and learn to love God's laws?

One of the main reasons why the 'churches' don't care for the Law and the Prophets, which is the OT, is because they were deceived into believing the OT is about the Jews. This is also why the 'churches' are NT Christians, because they have been deceived into believing that God made a new and separate covenant with the 'church'. These are lies from the pulpit.

The Jews are not Hebrews or Israelites. The Jews are descendants of Esau.

If you look in the Who's Who menu on the website, we have studies and evidence which show that the children of Cain and Esau are the Jews. Here are just a few examples:

The Jews admit that they are not the descendants of the Ancient Israelites in their own writings.

Under the heading of "A brief History of the Terms for Jew" in the 1980 Jewish Almanac is the following:

"Strictly speaking it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a ‘Jew’ or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or a Hebrew." (1980 Jewish Almanac, p. 3).

“Jews began to call themselves Hebrews and Israelites in 1860″ —Encyclopedia Judaica 1971 Vol 10:23

“Edom is in modern Jewry.” —The Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 edition, Vol.5, p.41

Genesis 36:8 ​​ Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.

Not only do the Jews themselves state that they are not Israelites, but we have articles that contain all the statements made by God Himself, Jesus, and famous men throughout history. We have educational Slideshows, archaeology, genealogies, and prophetic marks, all of which show the Jews to be imposters. You will find all the links at the end of this document.

Now, since the identity of the Israelites has been stolen by the Jews, and the 'churches' continue to keep this lie alive by teaching you to identify as a transGentile, who are the true Israelites of the Bible?

The unpopular answer is...White People.

When presented with these truths, denominational christians run. They will even call you anti-Christian and that you spread hate. They won't even examine the evidence. They have no love for the truth.

There is plenty of evidence in the Who's Who menu, and in the other studies and Slideshows found on the website that clearly and plainly show who is who.

From the very definition of the Hebrew word Adam H120 (ruddy, rosy, able to blush, fair-skinned), to the migration of our race, to the archaeological evidence, to the heraldry and emblems of the White nations of Europe, and to the prophetic marks that identify Israel, we can plainly see that our Anglo-Saxon Caucasian peoples are the sons of Jacob Israel.

Jesus Christ told us we can judge people by their fruits, their marks, their actions and their beliefs.

Who has become a multitudinous seed and spread abroad to the North, East, South, and West, and are numbered as the sand and stars? Who has become a company of nations? Whose lands have great mineral and agricultural wealth? Who were the colonizers of the world? Who has spread the Gospel all over the world? These are some of the prophecies that identify who the Israelites are, and our people fit every one of them.

100 Proofs Israelites are White People

https://www.thinkoutsidethebeast.com/100-proofs-that-the-israelites-were-white-people/

The 'churches' don't know these things, because they have been taught to identify as transGentiles, instead of being taught who they are. The 'churches' don't understand that the OT is our history, and it contains the valuable lessons our people never learn from.

All 12 tribes of Israel were involved in the national relationship of marriage to Yahweh. Nobody could ever dispute this. Exodus chapters 19 through 24 records the marriage between Yahweh and the children of Israel. The nation would be the bride of God, and the law was given to Israel as the terms of that marriage. The children of Israel are represented as having fully agreed to this arrangement. For the next several chapters, 20-23, the laws are given which Israel must follow as their part in the agreement.

Exodus chapter 20 is the giving of the 10 Commandments.

As we go through these, we will show them as implied in the books of Genesis and Job to show that these commands were known before this time.

Exodus 20:1 ​​ And God spake all these words, saying,

​​ 20:2 ​​ I am Yahweh your God, which have brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

​​ 20:3 ​​ (1) You shalt have no other gods before Me.

In Genesis chapters 1 and 2 Yahweh is identified as the Creator. He is the true Deity. God told Abram in Genesis 15:7 “I AM Yahweh who brought you out of Ur.”

Abraham's servant said in Genesis 24:48 “I bowed and worshiped Yahweh; and blessed be Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham.”

Job said in Job 1:21 “Blessed be the name of Yahweh.” In Job 42:1-2 “Job answered Yahweh, 'I know that You can do all things.”

Abraham and Job knew Yahweh. They didn't worship false other gods.

Genesis 35:1-2 God said to Jacob “...make an altar to God.” So Jacob said to his household and to all with him, “Put away the strange gods which are among you.” Jacob rid his house of other gods.

​​ 20:4 ​​ (2) You shalt not make unto you any graven image (idol), or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven (sky) above, or that is in the earth (land) beneath, or that is in the water under the earth (below the land):

​​ 20:5 ​​ (2)You shalt not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I Yahweh your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me;  ​​​​ (Lev 19:4 26:1 ​​ Deut 4:15-18 27:15)

The sins of the fathers are visited on the following progeny. It takes up to four generations to purge out pagan ways and habits. The generations that came out of Egypt were grandparents, parents, children, and grandchildren. The original group of these people that came out of Egypt were destroyed in the wilderness. Only the generations born in the wilderness made it into the Promised Land. Joshua and Caleb were the only ones of the original group made it into the Promised Land.

​​ 20:6 ​​ (2) And shewing mercy (loving-commitment) unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep (H8104- are observing) My commandments (H4687- instructions). ​​ (Num 14:18)

Deuteronomy 7:9 ​​ Know therefore that Yahweh thy God, He is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations;

John 14:15 ​​ If ye love Me, keep My commandments.

Exodus 20:4-6 Yahweh forbad the worship of carved images or heavenly bodies. Jacob’s father-in-law Laban was an idolator. Gen 31:35 He [Laban] searched, but didn’t find his idols [terraphím, Hebrew]. Again, Jacob and his household put away their own idols. Gen 35:4 Jacob buried them [idol gods] under the oak near Shechém.

Job acknowledged in Job 31:26-28, “If I regarded the sun in its radiance or the moon, so that I worshiped them with my mouth and hands, that would have been iniquity…I would have denied God above.” Job knew that worshiping/idolizing heavenly bodies would’ve belied the true Creator God.

​​ 20:7 ​​ (3) You shalt not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain; for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.

His name is YAHWEH. Not Lord and not God, which are titles, and not Jehovah which came from a Spanish monk in 1278. The letter 'j' was not in existence until only 400-500 years ago. The tetragrammaton YHWH is found in archaeology all over the world. We are to call Him by His name.

Leviticus 19:12 ​​ And ye shall not swear by My name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am Yahweh.

Abraham enjoined his servant in Gen 24:3, “I will make you swear by Yahweh, the God of heaven and the God of earth.” Abraham’s requirement that his servant take a solemn oath in the name of Yahweh indicates they understood the name of God isn’t to be taken in vain. Abraham himself swore in Gen 14:22, “I raise my hand to Yahweh God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.” Misusing God’s name can mean taking His name lightly, blaspheming or cursing Him. Job’s wife berated Job in Job 2:9-10, “Curse [or renounce] God and die….In all this Job didn’t sin with his lips.” In all his trials, Job didn’t take Yahweh’s name in vain. Job blessed God’s name (Job 1:21).

​​ 20:8 ​​ (4) Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy (set apart).  ​​​​ 

Leviticus 26:2 ​​ Ye shall keep My sabbaths, and reverence My sanctuary: I am Yahweh.

​​ 20:9 ​​ (4) Six days shalt you labour, and do all your work:

​​ 20:10 ​​ (4) But the seventh day is the sabbath of Yahweh your God: in it you shalt not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle (livestock), nor your stranger (sojourning kinsman) that is within your gates:  ​​​​ (Lev 23:3)

​​ 20:11 ​​ (4) For in six days (ages) Yahweh made heaven (sky) and earth (land), the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Yahweh blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it (set it apart).  ​​​​ (Gen 2:1-3)

In the Bible, the 7th day was the first thing God made holy! After Creation, God finished His work which He had done, and He rested on the 7th day in Gen 2:1-3. Then God blessed the 7th day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which He had created and made. This was the beginnings of 7th day sabbath rest. The institution of the Sabbath is as old as creation. A 7th day Sabbath must have been prescribed to man in Eden. The Sabbath was binding in Eden, and it has been in force ever since. Gen 8:12 Noah observed the Sabbath in the ark. The Sabbath was known to the family of Abraham. Sabbaths are as ancient as the world; and the Sabbath was religiously observed by the people of God throughout the patriarchal age. The patriarchal age included Noah, Abraham & Job. The 7-day week, known by the ancients, was a customary time period for feasting (Gen 29:27) and mourning (Gen 50:10, Job 2:13). Exo 16:27-29 God’s 7th day sabbath law already existed before He gave the Decalogue in Exodus 20. In the Book of Jasher 70:47, a Pharaoh had decreed 7th day rest for Israelites decades prior to the Exodus.

​​ 20:12 ​​ (5) Honour your father and your mother: that your days may be long upon the land which Yahweh your God giveth you.

Matthew 15:4 ​​ For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

Ephesians 6:2 ​​ Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with a promise;)

6:3 ​​ That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

We see examples in Genesis of sons honoring, and dishonoring, their parents. Gen 25:8-10 His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him [Abraham]. They gave their father a proper burial. Gen 28:7 Jacob obeyed his father and mother [Isaac and Rebekah]. But Gen 9:24-26, When Noah awoke from his wine, he knew what his youngest son had done to him. Dishonoring a parent or grandparent is wrong. Gen 38:8-10 Onan disobeyed his father Judah, and Yahweh took Onan’s life. Job’s trials included the deaths of his sons & daughters (Job 1:18-19). Job was stripped of his honor and dignity; his relatives and associates avoided him (Job 19:9-19). However, respect or honor for elders in general is seen in Job. Job 32:4-7 Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were years older than he. The younger man Elihu deferred to Job and Job’s three friends, allowing them to speak first.

​​ 20:13 ​​ (6) You shalt not kill (murder).

The Hebrew records 'murder'. The word kill means murder. Righteous killing is part of the law. Murder is not.

Leviticus 24:17 ​​ And he that killeth (murders) any man shall surely be put to death.

Murder was committed in Gen 4:8, Cain rose up against Abel his half-brother and killed him. Consequently, God cursed Cain from the land. God commanded Noah in Gen 9:5-6, “Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God He made man.” Murder is a capital crime; it was condemned from the beginning. Job 24:14 “The murderer arises at dawn; he kills the poor and the needy.” The poor may be cruelly killed, because they have no more that can be taken from them. Job asserted himself against any charge of hypocrisy in Job 31:39, “If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or caused the owners to lose their life.” Job was a wealthy man of renown. But he didn’t kill others to take possession of their land (1Ki 21:18-19 like Ahab did with Naboth).

​​ 20:14 ​​ (7) You shalt not commit adultery.

Adultery also includes race mixing. Destroying the holy seedline and purity of the race of awdawm. This part of the teaching of adultery is not taught today, because the enemy has distorted our scriptures to suit their diversity and universalism. Race mixing = the holy seed destroyed.

In the Latin Vulgate, Exodus 20:14 was translated as non moechaberis and Romans 13:9 as non adulterabis. The Latin word moechaberis is an inflected form of moechari, a transliteration of the Greek moicheuo, and is of little etymological importance since what it means is merely dependent upon what the Greek word means, which we will explore. However, what is important is adulterabis, an inflected form of the word adultero, since this is the Latin word most often used in the Vulgate and elsewhere to translate the Greek word moicheuo.

The Greek word ou and the Latin word non are simply negative particles, translated not. Thus, the words that we need to define in order to determine the correct translation of Exodus 20:14 and Romans 13:9 are the Greek word moicheuo and the Latin word adultero.

First, in order to define the word moicheuo, let us turn to a commonly used and commonly available dictionary, theTheological Dictionary of the New Testament, edited by Gerhard Kittel and translated into English by Geoffrey W. Bromiley. Now let us note that Kittel was a well-renowned German Greek scholar and is held in high-esteem by the scholarly community.

Under the entry word moicheuo, the following definition is given: “of the intermingling of animals and men or of different races.” [In the German original, Theologisches Wörterbuch zum Neuen Testament, we find the original words of Kittel: “auch von Vermischung von Tier und Mensch oder von Mischung verschiedener Rassen”].

This, of course, is the classical definition of mongrelization. So the Greek of the New Testament and the Greek Septuagint confirm that the translation “You will not mongrelize” is correct.

The same definition applies to the word 'fornication', which includes all illicit sex, and race-mixing.

https://disenchantedscholar.wordpress.com/2019/07/21/context/

Adultery occurs when a man has sexual relations with a woman who is married or betrothed to another man. The ancients knew adultery was sin. Gen 20:6-9 conversing with Abraham, Abimélech referred to adultery as a great sin. Also reference Gen 26:10-11, where sleeping with Isaac’s wife Rebekah would’ve brought guilt upon anyone who did so. Gen 39:7-9 The master’s wife looked with desire at Joseph and said, “Lie with me.” But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “How could I do this great evil and sin against God?” Joseph viewed adultery as a great evil! Job 24:15 The eye of the adulterer waits for the dusk, thinking, ‘No one is watching us.’ He disguises his face. Also Job 31:9-11, “If my heart has been enticed by a woman, or I have lurked at my neighbor’s door….it would be an iniquity.” Having sex with a neighbor’s wife is iniquity.

​​ 20:15 ​​ (8) You shalt not steal.

Leviticus 19:11 ​​ Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.

Regarding Jacob’s wages, Jacob said to Laban in Gen 30:33: “If I have any goats that aren’t speckled or spotted, or any lambs that aren’t black, it will be counted stolen by me.” Joseph’s brothers asserted to his house steward in Gen 44:8, “How then could we steal silver or gold from your lord’s house? If any of us has it, let him die.” Many ancient nations had severe (or excessive) punishment for theft. Job 24:14 At night he is as a thief. The Sabeans and Chaldeans raided & stole Job’s livestock in Job 1:14-17. Theft was a crime from the beginning.

​​ 20:16 ​​ (9) You shalt not bear false witness against your neighbour.

The original Hebrew reads: 13...You shall not answer against another person (neighbor, friend) as a witness of falsehood.

Yahweh God said man would surely die if he ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Gen 2:17). But the serpent spoke falsely to Eve about God’s declaration. The serpent said in Gen 3:4, “You shall not surely die.” In Gen 39:14-20, the wife of Joseph’s master falsely claimed that Joseph had tried to rape her. Her false charge resulted in Joseph being sentenced to prison, perhaps for life. False witness and lies can have grave consequences. Job maintained his integrity, as seen in the following verses: Job 6:28 “Please look at me, and see if I lie to your face.” Job 24:25 “If this is not so, who can prove me false and make my speech worthless?” Job 27:4 “My lips will not speak falsehood, and my tongue utter deceit.” Job 31:5-6 “If I have walked with falsehood and my foot has hastened to deceit, let God weigh me on just scales.” Job 36:4 “Be assured that my words are not false.” False witness and lies were wrong…before Sinai.

​​ 20:17 ​​ (10) You shalt not covet (desire) your neighbour's house, you shalt not covet (desire) your neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is your neighbour's.

It also connotates to the action it takes to obtain that which belongs to another person.

Romans 7:7 ​​ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, You shalt not covet.

13:9 ​​ For this, You shalt not commit adultery, You shalt not kill, You shalt not steal, You shalt not bear false witness, You shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, You shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Luke 12:15 ​​ And He said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

To covet wrongly is to (illicitly) desire something we can’t come to rightfully have or obtain. Gen 3:6 The woman [Eve] saw that the tree was good for food, that it was a delight to the eyes, that it was desirable to make one wise. Eve coveted the fruit from the forbidden tree…and she ate from it. Wrong coveting can lead to overt sins such as stealing, adultery, violence and murder. Gen 6:5 Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great, and that every intent of the thought of his heart was evil continually. Coveting begins in the heart. Laban coveted wealth and cheated Jacob (Gen 31:7), who worked for him. Job said in Job 31:7, “If my heart covets whatever my eyes see….” ​​ “Covetousness is regarded in the light of idolatry” (Job 31:24-25). The apostle Paul tied coveting to idolatry in Col 3:5, Covetousness [or greed], which is idolatry.

So we clearly can see that these 10 Commandments were given by Yahweh's mouth and in effect before the written Torah. Jesus and His disciples all taught these precepts. We will show later in the NT that Jesus taught each of the Ten Commandments, and also that there are 1050 commandments for Christians in the NT. That's 437 more commandments than in the OT!

The Scriptures do not teach that the law was 'done away with'. The 'churches' do!

Silly antinomians, tricks are for Gentiles.

God's moral precepts are eternal.

Exodus 24:12 ​​ And Yahweh said unto Moses, Come up to Me into the mount, and be there: and I will give you tables of stone, and a law (H8451- Torah), and commandments (H4687- instructions) which I have written; that you mayest teach them.

Teach is H3384 yarah, which means to flow as water (that is, to rain); to point out (as if aiming the finger), to teach, direct, inform, show, instruct. This word is related to H8451 torah.

Rain is symbolic of God's Word.

The Hebrew word for "Law" in the OT is like being taken to your father's house, for a family gathering with your brothers and sisters, to hear your father teach you how to reach the heavenly city and gain eternal life. This definition resembles preventative measures or training to help you avoid breaking a law in the first place.

Exodus 31:13 ​​ Speak you also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily My sabbaths you shall keep (H8104- be observing): for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations; that you may know that I am Yahweh that doth sanctify you.

Honoring the Sabbath is the 4th Commandment.

Mark 2:27 ​​ And He said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:

Exodus 32:8 ​​ They have turned aside quickly out of The Way which I commanded (H6680- instructed) them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be your gods, O Israel, which have brought you up out of the land of Egypt.

This is the 2nd Commandment.

The Law was given unto Israel, and the statutes and judgments. It is our people who are to enforce God's laws.

Deuteronomy 4:7 ​​ For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as Yahweh our God is in all things that we call upon Him for?

4:8 ​​ And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

Our people are to be the city on the hill, the light of society. We are to set the example and to uphold the righteous laws of Yahweh God.

Isaiah 2:3 ​​ And many people (in the last days-verse 2) shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.

Zion is symbolic of the land of regathered Israel. This is speaking of America.

Jerusalem is symbolic of latter day Israelites. Jerusalem represents the people, and is not a reference to Jews; as Jews are not Israelites nor do they walk in, follow, or teach the ways of God. The Jews don't teach or obey Scripture, they teach and obey their takanot (traditions of men). The Jews' Bible is the Talmud.

Jerusalem, the city, is not the holy city. That land over there is still cursed to this day with the blood of Messiah, and of Abel to Zacharias. The ekklesia, which are called out Israelites, are the holy Jerusalem today.

Our kinsmen in the 'churches' do not know who they are (they identify as transGentiles), they don't keep God's laws (they cast them aside). The wickedness of the world is a direct result of the failure of the 'churches' to know, keep, observe, teach, and uphold God's laws.

Without the moral precepts of the Torah, the world lies in darkness and unrighteousness.

Isaiah 26:9 ​​ With my soul have I desired You in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek You early: for when Your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

Judgments is H4941 mishpat, and means divine law (individually or collectively). Judgment is the penalty, or justice, a verdict.

The world is drowing in unrighteousness, walking in darkness. Why? Because no one teaches God's Laws.

Isaiah 59:9 ​​ Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.

59:10 ​​ We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.

An article by Willie Marten
The continuity of the Kingdom itself is predicated upon the administration of the commandments, statutes and judgments of Yahweh.

For there to be a kingdom [government] there must be three things: (1) A land [The United States of America]; (2) A people [Our White Israel People]; and (3) A set of laws [Gods Laws, statutes and judgments]. If these things are not in existence then there is no kingdom.

There are four great bodies of law given in the Bible. They are: Laws contained in Commandments, Laws set forth in statutes, Laws governing judgments and Laws contained in ordinances. Nevertheless, no man or nation is set free from keeping the commandments, statutes and judgments of Yahweh.

As there can be no justice apart from the law, so, too, there can be no righteousness without justice, for righteousness is the justice of the law. Christ looked forward to the day when the righteousness of the administration of the Kingdom laws would bring the promised blessings when He said: "Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."

Those who advocate the abolition of the law forget that, IF THERE IS NO LAW, SIN CANNOT EXIST, "for sin is the transgression of the law."

In his rendering of this passage Ferrar Fenton shows that sin is broken law. Because this is so, Christ condemned all who would teach disobedience to the law: "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

Moffatt gives an interesting rendering of this and the preceding verse: "I tell you truly, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a comma, will pass from the Law until it is all in force. Therefore whoever relaxes a single one of these commands, were it even one of the least, and teaches men so, he will be ranked least in the Realm of heaven; but whoever obeys them and teaches them, he will be ranked great in the Realm of heaven."

The margin and footnotes of the 1599 Geneva Bible relates: "Christ came not to bring any new way of righteousness and salvation into the world, but to fulfill that in deed which was shadowed by the figures of the Law, by delivering men through grace from the curse of the Law: and moreover to teach the true use of obedience which the Laws appointed, and to grave in our hearts the force of obedience. That the prophecies may be accomplished. He beginneth with the true expounding of the Law and setteth it against the old...glorifies the Scribes: so far is He from abolishing the least commandment of His Father. {That one who teaches otherwise} He shall have no place in the Church."

Not only did Christ assert the need of keeping even the least of the laws if we want to occupy a place of greatness in the Kingdom, but the whole theme of the prophets was the expectancy of the great day of the restoration of Israel, at which time one of the major objectives would be the observance of all His Laws. Then will be fulfilled: "And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain [nation] of Yahweh, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem [America]. And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off."

When Yahweh's Israel people are cleansed of all their filthiness and from their idols, Yahweh declares: "And I will put My spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, and do them."

In the very beginning God began to reveal His Laws unto men. The very first command of God to Adam became a rule of action, or law of life, unto all men. The positive law of life as given to our first parents in the Garden of Eden was to eat of the fruit of the trees in the Garden and live. The negative law was contained in the command to abstain from partaking of certain forbidden fruits with the warning that the violation of this command would be followed by death. Physical health and well-being depended upon man obeying the first, while the keeping of the second assured him of life unending and continuous spiritual communion with God. Thus the divine Command had become law unto man. But mankind, created in the image of God, was given the right of choice: in obedience, a blessing; in disobedience, a curse.

The first would bring continuous health and life, the second, trouble and death. By act of will, man was now able to choose his course, for before him lay two roads, one the way of life, and the other the way of death.

Laws Before Sinai

In A.D. 1901, the Code of Amraphel (Khammurabi), was discovered in Susa by M.J. de Morgan. The latest date recorded for this code was 2139 B.C. So we have from ancient records that eight hundred years before Moses, these laws governed the peoples from the Persian Gulf to the Caspian Sea, and from Persia to the Mediterranean, and were in force throughout Canaan. This discovery overthrew the two main pillars of the so-called "higher critics," one of which was that such writing was unknown before Moses; the other, that a legal code was impossible before the Hebrew Kings.
The following is a list of thirty-four laws seen in force in Genesis, given by God Almighty, and was subsequently confirmed in the Mosaic code:

SIN

Many have asked the question; What is sin? The answer is simple. Sin is disobedience to the commands of God, a refusal to keep His Laws. John declared this when he said, "Sin is the transgression of the law"

Law, insofar as it regulates the conduct and action of men and nations, is a rule of action established by a recognized authority with power to enforce justice and is it's direct duty. God is a recognized authority and He has full power to enforce His commands which must ultimately be observed, kept and obeyed; for the Divine Law cannot be altered or removed, they are a constant, and the passage of time has no effect upon them.

Before considering the subject of Divine Law in its application to man, both individually and collectively, it is essential that we first settle satisfactorily the question of the entire scope and application of the Divine Laws, and man's relationship to these laws.

This becomes necessary because of the prevalence of a doctrinal teaching which has had a definite influence upon Christian men and women to such an extent that it has led some to ignore God's injunction to observe and keep all His Law.

In thus ignoring the law such have failed to recognize the Divine plan of the operation of the Law of the Lord as it governs our physical well-being, economic security and national prosperity.

NOWHERE IN SCRIPTURE IS IT STATED THAT A CHRISTIAN IS FREE FROM THE NEED OF KEEPING THE LAW. WHILE THE WORD OF GOD STATES THAT A CHRISTIAN IS NOT UNDER BONDAGE TO THE LAW, YET THIS FREEDOM FROM BONDAGE CANNOT IN ANY SENSE BE CONSTRUED AS A LICENSE TO VIOLATE THE LAW. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THE GIFT OF GRACE HAS BEEN USED TO PERPETRATE A DOCTRINAL BELIEF CONTRARY TO THE CLEAR TEACHING OF THE BIBLE. VIOLATION OF DIVINE LAW IS SIN WHETHER THAT LAW IS VIOLATED BY A CHRISTIAN OR A NON-CHRISTIAN, REGARDLESS OF ANY DOCTRINAL EXCUSE THAT MIGHT BE MADE FOR SUCH VIOLATION.

Now the scope of the Divine Law embraces all the needs, activities and requirements of men and nations; limiting, guiding, directing them in all the things that should, and should not, be done. Christians are amiss in not knowing and understanding these laws. God has never abrogated the law and the commandments are just as much in force today as they were in Abraham's day.

The penalties for law violation have contained to operate whether Israel administered the law or not. Any man who today violates the provisions of the law as set forth in the ten commandments suffers from the resulting penalty. Today, our national violation of the statutes and judgments of the Lord is responsible for our present economic problems and national troubles.

What are our national transgressions and sins? Are they not our departure as a people from the observance of all His Laws? The following is quoted from "Digest of the Divine Law," pp. 11-12:

"It has been the continued uninterrupted operation of the immutable laws of life that has made possible the existence of the human race. In fact, law is so essential to our very existence that life itself came into being as the result of the operation of law. But the operation of law is not confined to physical existence alone. Our very health and prosperity, with every act and need of man, individually, socially and governmentally, are all governed by law; and if we keep and observe these laws, all their benefits will accrue to us, while if we violate them, there will follow inevitable retribution and suffering. When men come to a full realization of these facts they will willingly apply themselves to understanding these laws so that in the knowledge of their operation and in obedience to them they may secure a blessing. The many and varied problems of administration which have so troubled and perplexed mankind will find a solution in their observance.

Chaos in the physical, spiritual and economic life of man is evidence that there has been a failure to observe and keep the orderly laws of peace. A perusal of both past and present records of human history reveals chaotic conditions, with mankind afflicted with crime, violence and war, while revolution, famine and disease have taken their toll of life.

Such EVIL CONDITIONS CAN ONLY EXIST WHERE THERE HAS BEEN A VIOLATION OF THE PERFECT LAWS OF LIFE, THE KEEPING OF WHICH WILL BRING RESULTS FAR FROM CHAOTIC.

Creation is an orderly process, while chaos results from the failure of man to observe and keep the Divine Command which is the law of life and the way of peace. Life at its best, with all the blessings of peace, results from keeping the positive commands of God and refraining from violating the negative injunctions.

The Law of ​​ Yahweh was made known to man from the very beginning of Adamic history. This was so or else man would have had no guide to prosperity and peace. All the evidence of history and every factor of life continually demonstrates that the keeping of perfect laws is the very essence of a happy and enduring existence. And so it behooves us, if we would have perfection in living, to know them!"

The Scriptures show that the standard of righteousness is the Law of Yahweh. The Psalmist proclaimed: “The law of Yahweh is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of ​​ Yahweh is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of Yahweh are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of Yahweh is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of Yahweh are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover, by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping them there is great reward.” (Psalm 19:7-11)

While Christ is “the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth,” (Romans 10:4) this verity, as Paul expressed it, does not, by any means, set aside the Commandments, Statutes and judgments of the Law of Yahweh. Among the meanings of the word “end,” both “termination” and “purpose” are found, referring to what our Lord accomplished for the believer by the finished work of His death on the stake and His resurrection from among the dead. Writing to the Galatians, Paul explained that the laws, contained in ordinances were “our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.” (Galatians 3:24) Paul then pointed out: “But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.” (Galatians 3:25)

This Christian instruction is related to the justification of the believer by faith upon the acceptance of Christ as our Savior. After conversion, the Christian’s attitude toward the Law of Yahweh is expressed in Psalm 119, where it is stated: “blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of Yahweh.” (Psalm 119:1)

The Christian affirms: “I will praise thee with uprighteouss of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments...Let thy mercies come unto me, O Lord, even thy salvation, according to thy word...And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.” (Psalm 119:7; 41; 47)

The Psalmist testified that “great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.” (Psalm 119:165) It is of interest to discover that the marginal rendering of the latter phrase is “they shall have no stumblingblock.” The great stumblingblock to answers to prayer today is the penchant on the part of Christians to scorn the Law of Yahweh, prompted to do so largely by the false and erroneous instructions from the Judeo-Christians leaders of today.

The Law For the Nation

Many examples could be cited concerning the operation of the Law of Yahweh in national administration, but one example will suffice. The Commandments of the Law of Yahweh govern personal conduct; the Statutes of the Law of Yahweh are for the nation to administer; the Judgments of the Law of Yahweh are decisions rendered for the equitable administration of justice in accordance with the requirements set forth under both the Commandments and the Statutes. For instance, the following Commandment enjoins the individual not to murder: “Thou shalt not kill (the Hebrew word is more accurately tranlated ‘murder’).” (Exodus 20:13)

The Statute instructs those who administer the affairs of state how to deal with a murderer: “Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death.” (Numbers 35:30)

A Judgment is rendered condemning any other type of punishment, other than death, for a murderer: “Moreover, ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.” (Numbers 35:31)

The failure to execute the murderer pollutes the land, as it is stated: “So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.” (Numbers 35:33)

Actually, under present circumstances, it is an affront to God to petition Him to bless America, citing 2 Chronicles 7:14, which contains the Divine invitation: “If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

There can be no expectation that God will hear from heaven and heal our land while it is a land defiled by the blood of countless numbers of innocent victims of murderers who are not put to death. Yahweh has stated emphatically that “the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein but by the blood of him that shed it.” Therefore, all criminals who have been convicted of committing murder must be put to death. The death penalty must also operate under the Law of Yahweh in many other cases; for instance, where the degrading sin of Sodomy is practiced. (Leviticus 18:22; 20:13)

The New Covenant so stressed by the teachings of Christianity is, according to the Bible, definitely associated with the keeping of the law. Jeremiah prophesied and Hebrews affirms, "...I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts..."Jeremiah 31:33 "...I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah." Hebrews 8:8

If then the Christian is not bound to keep the law, how can it be written into his heart? After the New Testament had been established Paul declared that he was dead to the law. What law? Certainly it could not be that law which was written into his heart as the result of the work of the Holy Spirit!

Later Paul asks the question, Why serve the law which was added? This was the law unto which Paul declared he was dead, for that law which was added to the Commandments, Statutes and Judgements received by Israel at Mt. Sinai was none other than the "ORDINANCES" which were given as the result of Israel's sin when Aaron built the golden calf which they worshipped. These ordinances became a schoolmaster to bring the people to Christ. Now that Christ has come, the schoolmaster is no longer needed; nor is it necessary to be in bondage to the ritual, which law Paul declared he served no more. "Confusion" is the only word which explains the condition existing in the minds of so many Christians regarding the law through the failure to recognize the ordinances as that law which was added.

The ritual does not have to be observed; but the Commandments, Statutes and Judgements are still in operation and every man and nation will ultimately be compelled to observe and keep them. The day will yet come when God's people will be compelled to recognize the operation of these Divine Laws. Ezekiel prophesies of that time and says, "...they shall also walk in My judgments, and observe My statutes, and do them."Ezekiel 37:24

LEVITICUS

Wayiq'ra (Called)

Things pertaining to Levi.

Leviticus is a manual for the priests, detailing the rules and procedures which the priests had to observe and enforce for the covenant nation of Israel.

The book of Leviticus deals with the further training of the chosen nation of Israel.

Teaching them to be a holy or consecrated (set apart) people.

The priesthood was not vested in this tribe (Levi) until after the law was given to Moses. Before then, the firstborn in every family,-fathers, princes, and kings- were priests, and could themselves offer their own sacrifices, like Noah, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

As explained earlier, the added ordinances contained in the commandments are the trainer, or schoolmaster, which were 'done away with'. The ordinances contained in this manual for the priests foreshadowed what Jesus Christ would fulfill. All these ceremonial rituals and ordinances of the law expired when Jesus Christ Yahshua became our High Priest.

The Levitical priesthood was no longer necessary after Christ offered Himself as the sacrifice for sin.

Leviticus also calls for us to be a healthy nation as well as a holy (set apart) one.

Chapter 11 states what food is wholesome and what is not fit for consumption.

In Leviticus, the word 'law' is used 18x.

Law H8451 torah is used 16x. All 16x it says 'law'.

Leviticus 6:9, 14, 25, 7:1, 7, 11, 37, 11:46, 12:7, 13:59, 14:2, 32, 54, 57, 15:32, 26:46 are laws from the written Torah, which are the Laws of Yahweh. Laws of the burnt offering, the meat (grain) offering, sin offering, trespass offering, law of the sacrifice, law of the beasts, fowl, and all living creatures to make a difference between the unclean and the clean, the law of cleansing from the issue of blood for women and semen for men, the law of the plague of leprosy (mold), law of the leper, and the laws which Yahweh made between Him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses. These are all mainly ceremonial laws which were later 'done away with'.

Law H4941 mishpat is used 14x. According to the manner 2x, manner of law 1x, My judgments 8x, in judgment 2x, and judgments 1x.

Judgments are just and right, and according to the rules of justice and equity which are said in the law with judgment, or are laws framed with the highest reason. These are judicial laws.

judicial: [adjective] of or relating to a judgment, the function of judging, the administration of justice, or the judiciary, belonging to the branch of government that is charged with trying all cases that involve the government and with the administration of justice within its jurisdiction

judiciary

1a: a system of courts of law

Judgment is a divine sentence or decision for when a law is broken. Justice determines the punishment and restitution of crimes.

Leviticus 5:10, 9:16, 18:4-5, 26, 19:15, 35, 37, 20:22, 24:22, 25:18, 26:15, 43, 46 are all judgments for breaking a law. They are divine sentences or decisions. They are administrations of justice for the crime.

In the Old Covenant, when the people sinned, they brought a bull or goat to the priest for their atonement.

In the New Covenant, when people sin, they must repent and bring spiritual sacrifices to Jesus Christ our High Priest. Spiritual sacrifices are the putting away of the old man of sin and his sinful habits and putting on the new man renewed in the moral precepts of the Torah which Jesus taught, summarized, and simplified into the law of Christ.

The Golden Rule, the Spirit of the Law, and the Law of Christ are all those things which are instructed in the Torah. The whole Bible is Torah, because the whole Bible is teaching and instruction.

2Timothy 3:16 ​​ All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

3:17 ​​ That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Leviticus chapter 4 is about the sin offering.

Leviticus 4:1 ​​ And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,

​​ 4:2 ​​ Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin (to miss the mark, fall short of duty) through ignorance against any of the commandments (H4687- instructions) of Yahweh concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:

​​ 4:3 ​​ If the priest that is anointed do sin (miss the mark) according to the sin (guilt, offense) of the people; then let him bring for his sin (sin offering), which he hath sinned (missed the mark), a young bullock without blemish unto Yahweh for a sin offering.

Verses 4-12 are the further instructions of the sin offering for the ignorant soul.

If you noticed, Yahweh commanded that the priest must first offer for his own sin, before making the offering for the sins of the people.

​​ 4:13 ​​ And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly (escapes the notice), and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments (H4687- instructions) of Yahweh concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty;

​​ 4:14 ​​ When the sin (condition of sin), which they have sinned against it (missed the mark), is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin (sin offering), and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting).

Verses 15-21 are the further instructions of the sin offering to make atonement for the whole congregation.

​​ 4:22 ​​ When a ruler hath sinned (missed the mark), and done somewhat through ignorance against any of the commandments (H4687- instructions) of Yahweh his God concerning things which should not be done, and is guilty;

​​ 4:23 ​​ Or if his sin (condition of sin), wherein he hath sinned (missed the mark), come to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:

​​ 4:24 ​​ And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before Yahweh: it is a sin offering.

Verses 25-26 are the further instructions for the sin offering for the ruler who sinned.

​​ 4:27 ​​ And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of Yahweh concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty;

​​ 4:28 ​​ Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned.

Verses 29-35 are the further instructions for the sin offering for the common people.

All of chapter 4 is sacrifice of the sin offering for the sins of the ignorant, when they became aware of it.

As there are many different meanings for sin, the context of chapter 4 is ignorance. When we miss the mark of our duty as children of the Most High to obey, we are guilty, even if we do it in ignorance. Ignorance is no excuse. When we miss the mark, we are in a sinful condition. When the offense is realized or made known, one must repent and confess, and make a sin offering. Back then it was the offering of animals; since Christ's death, it is spiritual sacrifices, which is done by repentance, obedience, allegiance and practice of His Way (The Way), and the continuation therein.

Ritual sacrifice has expired and is no longer needed, as Yahshua Messiah fulfilled all the blood sacrifices.

Chapter 5 is a continuation of the sin offering instructions.

It covers such things as being a witness of a crime and refusing to testify, then you are guilty as well. Touching something unclean (in a ceremonial sense) or falsely swearing, then you are guilty.

Verses 6-13 cover the further instructions for the sin offering.

Verses 14-16 are about when the soul that sins through ignorance, in the holy things of Yahweh, they had to bring a trespass offering to the priest.

Leviticus 5:17 ​​ And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments (H4687- instructions) of Yahweh; though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.

Chapter 5 is a continuation of chapter 4 regarding blood sacrifices. These have been fulfilled by Christ, however it has some moral guidelines that are still current. The refusal to give testimony in a dispute is clearly sinful. Touching unclean creeping things and dead carcasses defile a man and he may not approach Yahweh's holy place. Rashly spoken words and oaths are not wise and may have consequences. Leviticus is filled with wise instructions to guide us today.

Leviticus chapters 6-15 are about the burnt offerings for trespass against Yahweh, trespass and peace offerings, portions for the priests, the anointing of the priests, the offerings of Aaron, the strange fire of Nadab and Abihu, the clean and unclean, the laws about skin plagues and cleansing of lepers and those with a skin disease, laws about uncleanness regarding gonorrhea, discharges, intercourse, and menstruation. Chapter 16 is about the Day of Atonement. Chapter 17 is about special sacrifices and offerings.

All these ceremonial offerings and sacrifices were 'done away with'. The laws about uncleanness still contain some good advice for those with sexual diseases. The Day of Atonement is one of the 7 Holy Feast Days which is still to be observed today for fasting. The DOA is a commandment, minus the ceremonial aspects. Fasting is extremely healthy for our physical body, and it is spiritually enlightening to refrain from worldly things for the day to honor and praise Yahweh.

Leviticus chapter 18 is about unlawful sexual relations.

Leviticus 18:1 ​​ And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,

​​ 18:2 ​​ Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am Yahweh your God.

​​ 18:3 ​​ After the doings (works)(beliefs and practices) of the land of Egypt, wherein you dwelt, shall you not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall you not do: neither shall you walk in their ordinances.

​​ 18:4 ​​ You shall do My judgments, and keep Mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am Yahweh your God.

​​ 18:5 ​​ You shall therefore keep My statutes, and My judgments: which if a man (Adam) do, he shall live in them: I am Yahweh.

Verses 5-25 instruct us not to have sexual relations with close relatives. Not to pass our children through the Planned Parenthood offices of Molech. Not to have homosexual relations. Not to lay with animals, four-legged or 2-legged.

​​ 18:26 ​​ You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation (native), nor any stranger (sojourning kinsman) that sojourneth among you:

​​ 18:27 ​​ (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)

​​ 18:28 ​​ That the land spue (vomit) not you out also, when you defile it, as it spued (vomited) out the nations that were before you.

Jeremiah 9:19 ​​ For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.

​​ 18:29 ​​ For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

​​ 18:30 ​​ Therefore shall you keep Mine ordinance, that you commit not any one of these abominable customs (practices), which were committed before you, and that you defile not yourselves therein: I am Yahweh your God.

Leviticus chapter 19 is about personal conduct.

Some of the 10 Commandments are reiterated again in verses 1-19.

Commandments 2, 3, 5, 8, 9 and the 2nd Great Commandment of brotherly love which Jesus taught.

Leviticus 19:19 ​​ You shall keep My statutes. You shalt not let your cattle gender with a diverse kind (mixed breed): you shalt not sow your field with mingled seed (mixed seed): neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.

Yahweh does not approve of race mixing.

Deuteronomy 22:9 ​​ Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled.

22:10 ​​ Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.

22:11 ​​ Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.

Verses 20-36 detail more instructions and laws of Yahweh.

More instructions regarding unapproved sexual relations, trespass offerings, the planting and eating of fruit trees, the eating of blood, the hair styles of the pagans, making cuttings in your flesh, tattoos and markings, prostituting your daughters, reverencing the sabbath, the regarding of witches and wizards, the oppressing of sojourning kinsmen, and the abomination of divers weights and measures.

​​ 19:37 ​​ Therefore shall you observe all My statutes, and all My judgments, and do them: I am Yahweh.

These instructions are all still relevant today. For our God is the same yesterday, today, and for ever.

Leviticus chapter 20 is about the punishments for sin.

Verses 1-6 cover the passing of children through the Planned Parenthood offices of Molech, and the tolerance of those who give their children to the fires of Planned Parenthood. We are not to look the other way, we are to stand for obedience, not tolerate wickedness. And verse 6 warns about turning after witchcraft and wizards. Those who do these such things will be cut off from among his people and from Yahweh.

Leviticus 20:7 ​​ Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be you holy (separate): for I am Yahweh your God.

​​ 20:8 ​​ And you shall keep My statutes, and do them: I am Yahweh which sanctify you.

Verses 9-22 cover more of the 10 Commandments. Cursing father or mother, committing adultery, having sexual relations with family members, homosexuality, and beastiality.

​​ 20:22 ​​ You shall therefore keep all My statutes, and all My judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue (vomit) you not out.

These are all still in effect today. Unless you think it's right to curse your parents, commit adultery, and have all kinds of illicit sex.

Leviticus chapter 22 is instructions for the sacrifices of animals and other various instructions.

Such as being ceremonial clean for worship. Not eating animals that died of themselves or that were torn by beasts. No stranger shall eat of the holy thing, meaning one not of the sons of Aaron. Sojourning Israelites may offer freewill offerings without blemish. The blind, broken, maimed, or sick animal is not accepted. No offering from another race is accepted.

Leviticus 22:31 ​​ Therefore shall you keep My commandments (H4687- instructions), and do them: I am Yahweh.

Leviticus chapter 23 is about the Feasts of Yahweh.

Leviticus 23:41 ​​ And you shall keep (H2287- observe, celebrate) it a feast unto Yahweh seven days in the year. It shall be a statute (H2708) for ever in your generations: you shall celebrate (H2287- observe) it in the seventh month.

The 7 Holy Feast days are still to be observed. Not the ceremonial ordinances of them, but the memorial of them, as they are our heritage.

The 'churches' don't observe them because they think they are Jewish Feasts. So in their ignorance, the 'churches' dishonor our ancient fathers and mothers, and Yahweh, because these acts of God and His plan of redemption is no longer celebrated. How can you know who you are if you don't remember your past, or the very traditions that define our set-apart holy household?

But you will celebrate the 4th of July, Memorial Day, Valentine's Day, Marchin' Lootin' and Killin' Day, and even Gay Pride Month, but not Yahweh's Feasts?!!!

Leviticus chapter 25 is about the sabbath and jubilee years.

Verses 1-16 instruct us to keep the sabbath day, to keep the land sabbaths and allow the land to rest the 7th year, and to allow your livestock to rest. There are instructions for the jubilee year, which is a full release of debts and servitude, and returning every man unto his possession.

Leviticus 25:17 ​​ You shall not therefore oppress one another; but you shalt fear (revere) your God: for I am Yahweh your God.

​​ 25:18 ​​ Wherefore you shall do My statutes (H2708), and keep (H8104- observe) My judgments (H4941), and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.

The rest of the verses in chapter 25 are more instructions on the land sabbaths, land ownership, the rights of land redemption and indentured servitude, and usury.

Do our laws and regulations, and the court system today offer us rest, and debt release, and return of property?

Leviticus chapter 26 is about blessings for obedience and the results of disobedience.

Leviticus 26:1 ​​ You shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall you set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am Yahweh your God.

​​ 26:2 ​​ You shall keep (H8104- observe) My sabbaths, and reverence My sanctuary: I am Yahweh.

​​ 26:3 ​​ If you walk in My statutes (H2708), and keep (H8104- observe) My commandments (H4687- instructions), and do them;

...then He will give us rain in due season, the land will produce for us, we will have plenty of bread, and we will dwell in peace and safety, our enemies will fall before us, and Yahweh will walk among us.

​​ 26:14 ​​ But if you will not hearken unto Me, and will not do all these commandments (H4687- instructions);

​​ 26:15 ​​ And if you shall despise (reject) My statutes (H2708), or if your soul abhor My judgments (H4941), so that you will not do all My commandments (H4687- instructions), but that you break My covenant:

...then He will appoint terror over us, enemies will eat our produce, our enemies will slay us and hate us and reign over us.

​​ 26:18 ​​ And if you will not yet for all this hearken unto Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.

2520 years punishment (7x360). This began in 745 BC with the Assyrian invasion and ended with the regathering of the tribes of Israel in 1776, the birth of America.

Verses 19-42 continue to emphasize the results of not hearkening to Yahweh. Your land shall not increase her yield, wild beasts will rob you of your children and destroy your livestock, the sword and pestilence will find you, the staff of your bread will be broken, your cities will be wasted, and you shall pine away in your iniquity in your own land.

​​ 26:40 ​​ If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against Me, and that also they have walked contrary unto Me;

Nehemiah 9:2 ​​ And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers (the other races), and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.

​​ 26:41 ​​ And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their (hated) enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:

Acts 7:51 ​​ Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers did, so do ye.

​​ 26:42 ​​ Then will I remember My covenant with Jacob, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.

​​ 26:43 ​​ The land also shall be left of them (abandoned), and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised My judgments (H4941), and because their soul abhorred My statutes (H2708).

​​ 26:44 ​​ And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their (hated) enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break My covenant with them: for I am Yahweh their God.

3Maccabees 6:15 ​​ Let it be shewn to all the nations that You art with us, O Yahweh, and hast not turned Thy face away from us; but as You saidst that You wouldst not forget them even in the land of their (hated) enemies, so do You fulfil this saying, O Yahweh.

Deuteronomy 4:31 ​​ (For Yahweh thy God is a merciful God;) He will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which He sware unto them.

2Kings 13:23 ​​ And Yahweh was gracious unto them (Israel), and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast He them from His presence as yet.

​​ 26:45 ​​ But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen (the nations), that I might be their God: I am Yahweh.

​​ 26:46 ​​ These are the statutes (H2706) and judgments (H4941) and laws (H8451- My laws), which Yahweh made between Him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

Verse 18, the 7x punishment is speaking of the divorce between Yahweh and the children of Israel because of their sins against Him, their Husband. He put them away in punishment, as the law requires. That punishment was in the Assyrian invasion and captivity. But Yahweh did not forget them. He remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that He would not destroy them and cast them off forever. These Israelites migrated all over the Greco-Roman world and into Europe after their captivity, forgetting who they were and Whose they were. The Gospel message was the Good News of reconciliation between them and Yahweh, and their kinsmen of the house of Judah which returned to Jerusalem after Babylonian captivity. The parable of the sower explains that these Israelites of the Assyrian captivity and punishment were sown by Yahweh in this exile, and later grew into Christians through the Gospel. These are the 'lost' Israelites whom Jesus came for.

But the 'churches' teach that Jesus came for Gentiles. Silly church-goers, tricks are for NT Christians that believe in denominational churchianity who don't pay attention to context, have no idea who is who in Scripture, do not understand history, migration patterns, and are ignorant because they have 'done away with' the Law and the prophets.

Leviticus chapter 27 is about vows and tithes.

Verses 2-33 concerns a dedication of men, women, beasts, land, etc., to Yahweh. The priest would estimate the value in temple shekels of what was dedicated. This was the price for redeeming the thing dedicated.

Leviticus 27:34 ​​ These are the commandments (H4687- instructions), which Yahweh commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

In Leviticus we saw many instructions and commandments.

In Ephesians, Paul states that 'the law of commandments contained in ordinances' were abolished.

The 'churches' take this verse to mean the whole Law and all commandments. They throw the baby out with the bath water.

The 'churches' cannot see past what their preacher teaches them to even see the plain English words of the KJperVersion which reads “commandments contained in ordinances”!

The context in Ephesians is of the 'ordinances'. The ceremonial ordinances of the Levitical priesthood. These are the rituals, oblations, sacrifices, and priestly duties, which served as a training tool until The Christ came and replaced these 'ordinances' of atonement with 'grace' and 'faith' in Him. This doesn't mean everything was abolished. Only the ceremonial statutes were abolished. The rest of the laws, the commandments, judgments, statutes, instructions, and teachings remain.

In Ephesians chapter 2 verse 9 are the 'works' of the rituals. Verse 10 are 'good works' which we should walk in. Chapter 5 verse 11 are the unfruitful 'works' of darkness, which we are to reprove.

There are two different types of 'works' in Ephesians. Ritual works, and behavioural works. The ordinances of the works of the rituals were 'done away with'. The 'good works' are to be maintained.

So what commandments and instructions in Leviticus remain unto this day?

The commandment to testify of a known crime. Refusal to give a testimony is sin.

The commandment not to speak rashly or swear a false oath. Swearing in vain is sin.

The commandment against unlawful sexual relations with family, homosexuality, race-mixing, and sex with animals. This is still sin.

The instructions of personal conduct. Christians are to have morals. The morals found in the Torah.

Instructions not to mix seeds, or linens. Why? God hates GMO's, and certain clothing materials create an unhealthy energy field and environment for our bodies.

Instructions not to adopt pagan customs and styles. We are to be set-apart from the practices of non-Christians.

The commandment against witches, wizards, and magic.

The commandment against diverse weights and measures.

The commandment against passing our children through the Planned Parenthood offices of Molech.

The commandment against cursing father and mother.

The commandment and instructions to keep the feasts, which are memorials. Passover is 1 of 7, why not keep the rest of them? They are to be joyous celebrations.

We see that there are blessings that follow obedience, and curses that follow disobedience.

And we saw the 7x punishment prophesied of by Yahweh, which came to pass, because our ancestors broke the covenant and as a result, they were divorced, taken captive, and then scattered among the nations to walk in darkness until the time of the Gospel which was the message of reconciliation.

So if the law was 'done away with', as the 'churches' teach, then we can refuse to testify against a crime, speak rashly, have sex with our family members and animals, practise homosexuality and race-mix, do whatever we want, adopt pagan customs, take a vacation to the Magic Kingdom and play with Ouija boards, deal falsely with money, abort babies, and curse our parents?

Of course not. All these things are taught in the Law of Christ, which is the same Law as given by the Father here in the Old Covenant.

The 'churches' teach antinomianism, which is contrary to God. The 'churches' teach that God's laws, commandments, and instructions were 'done away with'. Silly Gentiles, tricks are for Antinomians.

NUMBERS

Numbers chapter 9 shows that Yahweh wants us to keep His feasts. They are reminders of who we are and what He has done for us.

If an Israelite is unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey far off, the Passover must still be kept. So Yahweh designated the 14th day of the second month as a make-up date to observe the Passover.

Numbers 9:11 ​​ The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.  ​​​​ (2Chr 30:2,15)

​​ 9:12 ​​ They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances (H2708- statutes) of the passover they shall keep it.

In Numbers, 'law' H8451 torah is used 10x.

Numbers 5:29-30 law (torah) of jealousies. These were appointed by Yahweh to deter wives from adultery, and to keep husbands from being cruel to their wives they might be jealous of.

Numbers 5:11-28 detail the verses that tell us that if a spirit of jealousy came upon a man over his wife's possible unfaithfulness, he was to bring her to the priest, who would then perform what is known as Trail by Ordeal. He put dust from the floor of the tabernacle into water and placed a curse of bitterness upon it. The woman repeated an oath and drank the water. If she’d been unfaithful, the curse entered her body and caused the thigh to waste away (prolapsus uteri, or falling down of the womb) and the belly to swell. If the accusation was false, and she’d been faithful to her husband by not defiling herself, she would be free and able to conceive children.

I'm not sure how this works today, because there is no more priesthood, but I found that other ancient nations had their trials by ordeal. For example, the Persians had a fire ordeal, the Greeks used handling hot iron, and to walk over fire, in England in the time of King Ina, there were decisions by hot iron and water, and ordeal by fire.

These trials were not conducted according to the forms of judicial process, but an ordeal through which a suspected adulteress was made to go—the ceremony being of that terrifying nature, that, on the known principles of human nature, guilt or innocence could not fail to appear.

Numbers 6:13, 21 law (torah) of the Nazarite and law of his separation (dedication). Chapter 6 details the instructions for the Nazarite, which directs what they were to abstain from; from drinking wine, shaving their heads, and defiling themselves with the dead, and when he is accidentally defiled, how he is to be purified, the sacrifices he is to bring, and the rites he is to perform. Violating these instructions voids all the days of his vow and he would have to start over again.

This doesn't apply today, but you can dedicate yourself in certain ways which you may set for yourself in accordance with the glorification of God. However, if you make a vow, you must honor your dedication and vow, for Yahweh will not hold you guiltless that taketh His name in vain. (Exo 20:7- 3rd Commandment)

​​ 

Numbers 15:16, 29 one law (torah) for the native as well as sojourning Israelites. These are instructions respecting sacrifices and offerings.

Numbers 19:2, 31:21 ordinance of the law (torah). This chapter contains a law for making a water for purification for sin. It's a ceremonial law, being called an ordinance. Chapter 31:21 is the ordinance for purification of soldiers, officers, and common men of war.

Numbers 19:14 is the law (torah) when a man dies in a tent. All that come into the tent are unclean seven days.

Numbers 31:21 is the ordinance of the law (torah) regarding men of war which went into battle. The spoils of war (gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, lead) had to be cleansed by fire and purified with the water of separation. And the men of war were unclean for 7 days.

Commandments is H4687 mitsvah, which are instructions. This is used 5x in Numbers.

Numbers 15:22 ​​ And if you have erred, and not observed all these commandments (H4687- instructions), which Yahweh hath spoken unto Moses,

​​ 15:23 ​​ Even all that Yahweh hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that Yahweh commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations (posterity);

...such and such atonements shall be made by the priest for all the congregation.

These are all concerning the ceremonial laws, grain, drink, burnt, and peace offerings.

​​ 15:29 ​​ Ye shall have one law (H8451- torah) for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger (sojourning kinsman) that sojourneth among them.

​​ 15:30 ​​ But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger (sojourning kinsman), the same reproacheth Yahweh; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. ​​ 

​​ 15:31 ​​ Because he hath despised the word of Yahweh, and hath broken (violated) His commandment (H4687- instructions), that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.

​​ 15:37 ​​ And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,

​​ 15:38 ​​ Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband (thread) of blue (or violet):

​​ 15:39 ​​ And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that you may look upon it, and remember all the commandments (H4687- instructions) of Yahweh, and do them; and that you seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you use to go a whoring (prostitute yourselves):

​​ 15:40 ​​ That you may remember, and do all My commandments (H4687- instructions), and be holy unto your God.

Whether we Israelite men are to continue wearing these tsiytsith (fringes) or not is debatable, because the law was written upon our hearts in the Renewed Covenant. Personally, I don't wear them, but I do keep one in my pocket wherever I go outside my home.

Numbers chapter 36 is about marriage of heiresses, meaning the concerning of the inheritances of daughters. These are the judicial laws concerning the division of the land of Canaan, the case of inheritances in it, and the cities of refuge.

Numbers 36:13 ​​ These are the commandments (H4687- instructions) and the judgments (H4941), which Yahweh commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.

Numbers has some good instructions for dealing with jealous wives and adultery.

The rest of this book deals with the ceremonial aspects of the Torah, such as the purification of water for sin, for soldiers, and the spoils of war. These things had to be purified before they could be a part of worship and possession. These are some of the 'ordinances' that were 'done away with', as there is no Temple, rituals, sacrifices, priests as mediators, or sin offerings anymore.

The Laws of Yahweh Would Stop Crime by Bertrand Comparet ​​ (3 pgs)

https://comparet.christogenea.org/sermons/laws-yahweh-would-stop-crime

Begin Part 8 of the audio presentation here  ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​​​ 

DEUTERONOMY

The correct title of this book is “These (are) the words”. Elleh dabariym.

The name of this book signifies the 'repetition' of the law.

Moses is now a very old man (120) and he faces a generation born in the wilderness of Sinai, who had not, therefore, been alive when the law and Ten Commandments had been given by Yahweh, under what is known as the 'Mosaic Covenant', or the 'Covenant made at Horeb.' This covenant was broken by the people in the course of life in the wilderness, and the new generation had to 're-sign' before entering the Promised Land, on the verge of which they now stood.

Moses knew he would not be much longer with Yahweh's people and said “Ye stand this day all of you before Yahweh your Elohiym...that you shouldest enter in to Covenant with Yahweh your Elohiym...which Yahweh maketh with you this day.” All the law was repeated and the book of Deuteronomy gives us full details of this Covenant.

This Covenant was unlike those made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

To the patriarchs, Yahweh's promises of a 'Great Nation and company of Nations' who should be a blessing to all the world, were of His sovereign will, and admitted of no cancellation because of man's failure.

But, under this Covenant, entered into by the people of Israel before occupying the Promised Land, it was made clear that the blessings of the land would only be theirs if they obeyed Yahweh and kept His laws.

It was made plain that inevitable punishment and loss of their land would follow when they fail to obey Yahweh's laws.

In the book of Leviticus, the period of punishment for such disobedience is given (four times) as “seven times” punishment. That is 2520 years.

In the book of Kings, we can read how they departed from Yahweh, worshiped idols and did evil, and thus became so morally and physically weak that they presented an easy target to aggressors, and were finally driven from their own land as captives starting in 745 BC by the Assyrians and 586 BC by the Babylonians.

This is referred to as the Divorce. The bill of divorce is given in Isaiah 50:1 and Jeremiah 3:8.

When we count from the beginning of the 'divorce', or punishment, the Assyrian campaign in 745 BC, we come to the year 1776 AD. The birth of America. The fulfillment of this prophecy, which is found in Leviticus 26:18. America is the regathering place of the tribes of Jacob. The White nations of the world today are the Anglo-Saxon children of Jacob Israel.

2Samuel 7:10 ​​ Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,

This is a future prophecy of America. It cannot be Palestine because they were there as Yahweh was prophesying to David.

See: America in Prophecy https://www.ageoflaodicea.com/america-in-prophecy-2/ ​​ 

Law is H8451 torah, used 22x.

Commandments is H4687 mitsvah, used 43x.

Deuteronomy starts out with the Israelites camped just east of the Jordan River making preparations for crossing into Canaan.

Chapter 1 begins with the words which Moses spake unto all Israel according to all that Yahweh had given him in commandment unto them.

Commandment in Deuteronomy 1:3 is H6680 tsavah, which means instructions.

In verse 5, Moses began to declare this law, which is H8451 torah.

Moses reminds the people that this land is the land which Yahweh sware unto their forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.

Moses set judges over the people to hear the causes between them and to judge righteously. Moses reminds the people of the journey from Egypt and how Yahweh gave their enemies along the way into their hands. He also reminds them how the people murmered and rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh their God. In verse 26, commandment is H6310 peh, which means mouth, speech, or bidding.

In chapter 2, Moses reminds them that their journey took them around mount Seir, which was where Esau's descendants dwelt. Esau's descendants are the Jews, Edomite Jews.

Genesis 36:8 ​​ Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.

36:9 ​​ And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:

If you remember from the beginning of the series that the Jews themselves state that they are not Israelites or Hebrews, and that they are in fact Edomites, and even spoke of their Edomitish heritage.

Yahweh gave mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.

Then the Israelites passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab, and the land of Ammon, which were given to the children of Lot for a possession.

But the land of Sihon was delivered to the children of Israel. These were the offspring of the fallen angels, and the Israelites smote them and all their people.

In chapter 3, Moses continues to remind the children of Israel of their victories over Og king of Bashan, and smote all his people. These people were the remnants of the giants.

Moses reminded the people that they shall not fear these cursed seed nations: for Yahweh your God, He shall fight for you.

Deuteronomy chapter 4 reminds them that obedience is commanded, idolatry is forbidden, and Israel is Yahweh's chosen nation.

Deuteronomy 4:1 ​​ Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes (H2706) and unto the judgments (H4941), which I teach you, for to do them, that you may live, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh God of your fathers giveth you.

​​ 4:2 ​​ Ye shall not add unto the word which I command (H6680- instruct) you, neither shall you diminish ought from it, that you may keep (H8104- observe) the commandments (H4687- instructions) of Yahweh your God which I command (H6680- instruct) you.

​​ 4:3 ​​ Your eyes have seen what Yahweh did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, Yahweh your God hath destroyed them from among you. ​​ (Num 25:1-9; Josh 22:17)

The idolatry, race-mixing, and unlawful whoredoms with the daughters of Moab.

​​ 4:4 ​​ But you that did cleave unto Yahweh your God are alive every one of you this day.

​​ 4:5 ​​ Behold, I have taught you statutes (H2706) and judgments (H4941), even as Yahweh my God commanded (H6680- instructed) me, that you should do so in the land whither you go to possess it.  ​​​​ 

​​ 4:6 ​​ Keep (H8104- observe) therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations (other peoples), which shall hear all these statutes (H2706), and say, Surely this great nation (race) is a wise and understanding people.

​​ 4:7 ​​ For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as Yahweh our God is in all things that we call upon Him for?

​​ 4:8 ​​ And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes (H2706) and judgments (H4941) so righteous as all this law (H8451- torah), which I set before you this day?

​​ 4:9 ​​ Only take heed to yourself, and keep (H8104- observe) your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life: but teach them your sons, and your sons' sons; ​​ 

​​ 4:10 ​​ Specially the day that you stoodest before Yahweh your God in Horeb, when Yahweh said unto me, Gather Me the people together, and I will make them hear My words, that they may learn to fear (revere) Me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.

​​ 4:11 ​​ And you came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven (the sky), with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.

​​ 4:12 ​​ And Yahweh spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: you heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only you heard a voice.

​​ 4:13 ​​ And He declared unto you His covenant, which He commanded (H6680- instructed) you to perform, even ten commandments (H1697- Words); and He wrote them upon two tables of stone. ​​ 

​​ 4:14 ​​ And Yahweh commanded (H6680- instructed) me at that time to teach you statutes (H2706) and judgments (H4941), that you might do them in the land whither you go over to possess it.

Verses 15-39 ​​ Moses warns the people to take heed, lest they forget the covenant. And that if they seek Yahweh, they will find Him, and if they are obedient unto His voice He will not forsake them, nor destroy them, nor forget the covenant. Moses reminds them that Yahweh has not spoken to any other peoples, or taken any other nation for Himself. And that He loved their fathers, and chose their seed after them, and that He is their God.

So you see, that our people, are chosen by God to be the light of the world, the city on the hill, the administration of His kingdom, and it is our duty to enforce His laws and set the example of what a godly nation is.

​​ 4:40 ​​ You shalt keep (H8104- observe) therefore His statutes (H2706), and His commandments (H4687- instructions), which I command (H6680- instruct) you this day, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, and that you mayest prolong your days upon the earth, which Yahweh your God giveth you, for ever.

Then Moses separated three cities this side of the Jordan for refuge that the slayer who accidentally kills his neighbour might flee, that he might live. Bezer, Ramoth, and Bashan.

​​ 4:44 ​​ And this is the law (H8451- torah) which Moses set before the children of Israel:

​​ 4:45 ​​ These are the testimonies (H5713), and the statutes (H2706), and the judgments (H4941), which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt,

The testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments,.... The laws, moral, ceremonial, and judicial, delivered in the following chapters; which are renewed, repeated, and explained: which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt; in the third month after they came from thence these laws were delivered to him at Mount Sinai, and he declared them to them; and now afresh, nearly forty years after, repeated them to them in the plains of Moab.

In verse 13, the ten commandments is H1697 dabar, which means speech, word, speaking, saying, utterance, acts, manner. The ten commandments is the Ten Words.

Notice in the definition 'acts', and 'manner'. You can't 'just believe' them, or 'do away with them', you must DO them! These Ten Words are part of 'ALL THE WORDS THAT PROCEEDETH FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD'.

In verse 45 testimonies is H5713 edah (ay-daw'), a noun feminine in its technical sense, which is a testimony, a witness. Always plural and always of laws as divine testimonies.

Congregation is H5712 edah (ay-daw'), a noun feminine in the original sense of fixture, which is a congregation, a gathering.

The edah congregations and assemblies were witnesses. Witnesses to God's Torah. They are legal terms.

Edah refers to the community, to the people, or to the family and has to do with corporeity and fellowship that goes beyond just a collection of individuals.

The root word is H5707 ed , and means someone who will be accepted to bear a true testimony, and it also refers to the testimony given, such as a covenant.

Israelites were given the law and covenanted with, and Israelites are His witnesses.

These words, edah, and in addition, qahal, are the Hebrew words for congregation, and are translated in the Greek as ekklesia. These words do not mean 'church'. The ekklesia is not some 'church'. The edah, qahal, and ekklesia, are an assembly of Israelite saints who are called out of the 'churches', and out of this Babylonian system.

The word 'church' is translated from kuriakos and kuriakon, which can be shown to mean a 'circus'.

'Churches' do not teach Scripture, the law, the prophets, the true Gospel, who you are, and what your duty is.

They teach their denomination's doctrine, antinomianism, some other gospel, that you are a Gentile, and that all you have to do is 'just believe'.

The 10 Commandments. The Ten Words.

Deuteronomy 5:1 ​​ And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear (H8085- Obey), O Israel, the statutes (H2706) and judgments (H4941) which I speak in your ears this day, that you may learn them, and keep (H8104- observe), and do them.

The Hebrew has “study them”, as part of learn them. And keep, meaning “guard them” (observe them).

In verses 2-30 Moses reminds and instructs the people of the Ten Words (10 Commandments).

You shall have no other gods before Me.

You shall not make any graven image of anything nor bow down to them.

You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain.

You shall keep the sabbath day.

You shall honor your father and mother.

You shall not murder.

You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not steal.

You shall not bear false witness.

You shall not covet anything that is your kinsman's.

And all the people said they will do it.

​​ 5:28 ​​ And Yahweh heard the voice of your words, when you spake unto me; and Yahweh said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto you: they have well said all that they have spoken.

​​ 5:29 ​​ O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear (revere) Me, and keep (H8104- observe) all My commandments (H4687- instructions) always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!

Notice that Yahweh sighs that 'if there were such a heart in them to keep His commandments and instructions'. The laws at this time were spoken, and now written (codified). In the Renewed Covenant the law was written in our hearts. All the laws and instructions which Yahweh commanded to our ancestors are still in effect and must be observed.

The only difference between the Old and Renewed Covenant is that the priesthood, the rituals, ceremonial ordinances, and blood sacrifices were what was 'done away with'.

Jeremiah 31:31 ​​ Behold, the days come, saith Yahweh, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

31:32 ​​ Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which My covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith Yahweh:

31:33 ​​ But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith Yahweh, I will put My law (H8451- torah) in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be My people.

The Covenant made after 'those days' is the Renewed Covenant. This was fulfilled at the Last Supper.

Matthew 26:26 ​​ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is My body.

26:27 ​​ And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

26:28 ​​ For this is My blood of the new testament (renewed covenant), which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

If you do the word study, 'new' and 'testament' are defined as 'renewed' and 'covenant'.

All these things in the 'New Testament' are the fulfilling of what was prophesied in the 'Old Testament'.

The children of Israel were divorced by Yahweh in 745 BC for breaking the Old Covenant. They were scattered among the nations and in their migrations they forgot who they were and Whose they were. He promised to regather them in Jeremiah 23:3, 30:11, 31:8, 10, 32:37; Ezekiel 11:17, 34:13, 16, 37:21; Micah 2:12; Zephaniah 3:19; Zechariah 10:8; Matthew 10:6, 11:28, 15:24; Luke 15:4, 19:10.

Ezekiel 11:16 ​​ Therefore say, Thus saith Yahweh GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen (nations), and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.

11:17 ​​ Therefore say, Thus saith Yahweh GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.

11:18 ​​ And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.

11:19 ​​ And I will give them one heart (or mind), and I will put a new spirit (or thought, way of thinking) within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:

11:20 ​​ That they may walk in My statutes, and keep Mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be My people, and I will be their God.

Ezekiel 36:24 ​​ For I will take you from among the heathen (nations), and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

36:26 ​​ A new (fresh) heart also will I give you, and a new (fresh) spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

36:27 ​​ And I will put My spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall keep My judgments, and do them.

Joel 2:28 ​​ And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: ​​ 

2:29 ​​ And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out My spirit.

This was fulfilled in Acts.

Acts 2:1 ​​ And when the day of Pentecost (50th day from Passover and the crucifixion) was fully come, they were all with one accord (together) in one place.

2:2 ​​ And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

2:3 ​​ And there appeared unto them cloven tongues (languages spreading) like as of fire, and it sat (came) upon each of them.

2:4 ​​ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

And this is what happens when you obey.

Acts 5:32 ​​ And we are His witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Spirit, whom God hath given to them that obey Him. ​​ 

John 14:15 ​​ If ye love Me, keep My commandments.

1John 3:24 ​​ And he that keepeth His commandments dwelleth in Him, and He in him. And hereby we know that He abideth in us, by the Spirit which He hath given us.

The 'churches' don't, and cannot, connect the dots of these prophecies and their fulfillments, because they don't know who is who in Scripture, and they have 'done away with' the law and the prophets. Silly NT Christians, tricks are for denominational churchianity cult members.

Dueteronomy chapter 6 is titled 'Love Yahweh your God'.

Jesus Christ said in Matthew 22:37-38 “You shalt love Yahweh your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment.”

So we can see plainly that Jesus taught the Father's Commandments.

Deuteronomy 6:1 ​​ Now these are the commandments (H4687- instructions), the statutes (H2706), and the judgments (H4941), which Yahweh your God commanded (H6680- instructed) to teach you, that you might do them in the land whither you go to possess it:

​​ 6:2 ​​ That you mightest fear Yahweh your God, to keep (H8104- observe) all His statutes (H2706) and His commandments (H4687- instructions), which I command (H6680- instruct) you, you, and your son, and your son's son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.

In verses 3-16 Moses reminds us to observe and do the things commanded that it be well with us. He again repeats the 1st Great Commandment in verse 5, to love Yahweh God. Verse 7 instructs us to teach these commandments and instructions to our children. These are to be handed down generation after generation, and we see this in the Psalms.

Psalm 78:4 ​​ We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of Yahweh, and His strength, and His wonderful works that He hath done.

78:5 ​​ For He established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:

78:6 ​​ That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:

Verses 8-9 in Deuteronomy instruct us to bind these commandments and instructions upon our hands, and they shall be as frontlets between our eyes.

The Jews do this literally with physical objects they wear and which they sell and profit from.

But these signs upon our hands and frontlets between our eyes are simply referring to our works and our thoughts. Jesus Himself explained that the Jews cannot understand these things because they are not from of the Father, they are from their father the Devil, and they are from beneath.

Bind is H7194 qashar (kaw-shar') and means to mentally love and to be in league with.

'As frontlets between your eyes', is a reference to the organs of direction in walking or moving, and so on the forehead, the chamber of thought and purpose.

Verse 9 instructs us to write the Commandments upon our doorposts and gates. This is literal, as it shows you to be a Christian who follows the laws of God, and a warning to those who come to your house looking for trouble that you are protected by Yahweh God.

Verses 13-15 are reminders of the first and second Commandment and verse 16 warns you not to tempt Yahweh your God.

​​ 6:17 ​​ Ye shall diligently keep (H8104/8104- observe) the commandments (H4687- instructions) of Yahweh your God, and His testimonies (H5713), and His statutes (H2706), which He hath commanded (H6680- instructed) you.

Keep is H8104 shamar, and is used twice to show emphasis that we are to keep, guard, observe, and give heed to His commandments.

​​ 6:18 ​​ And you shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of Yahweh: that it may be well with you, and that you mayest go in and possess the good land which Yahweh sware unto your (fore) fathers,

​​ 6:19 ​​ To cast out all your enemies from before you, as Yahweh hath spoken.

Numbers 33:52 Then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:

Do we do this today? No, our enemies are those sitting in the seats of our government, they own all the corporations, they teach our children, they prescribe pharmaceuticals, they produce the filth on TV, and they provide porn and gambling and GMO they call food.

​​ 6:20 ​​ And when your son asketh you in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies (H5713), and the statutes (H2706), and the judgments (H4941), which Yahweh our God hath commanded (H6680- instructed) you?

Then you should teach your children what Yahweh did for our ancestors who were bondmen in Egypt by bringing them out of captivity, and how He gave His instructions to keep His laws, and cast out the heathen and destroy their images and abominations.

​​ 6:24 ​​ And Yahweh commanded (H6680- instructed) us to do all these statutes (H2706), to fear Yahweh our God, for our good always (at all times), that He might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.

Job 35:7 ​​ If you be righteous, what givest you Him? or what receiveth He of your hand?

​​ 6:25 ​​ And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe (H8104) to do all these commandments (H4687- instructions) before Yahweh our God, as He hath commanded (H6680- instructed) us.

But the 'churches' say all you have to do is 'just believe'. And they love to recite...

2Corinthians 5:21 ​​ For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.

And they think they are made righteous because they can repeat this verse from memory.

'Just believing' in Jesus and accepting His sacrifice does not make you righteous. This only proves that you honor Him with your lips.

Deuteronomy 6:25 states our righteousness comes from observing and doing all His instructions. Notice it says 'if' we observe to DO all these commandments.

“But that's impossible”, ...right. He doesn't expect us to keep and do them all perfectly, but rather with a perfect heart. We will cover the 'perfect heart' later.

The New Testament and Jesus' Himself does not teach that observing and doing all His commandments were 'done away with'. Jesus and the Apostles actually repeated all these commandments, and all His parables are teaching to be doers of them, to be profitable servants, to fill your lamps, to show your fruits, show up for work in His vineyard, and that you are rewarded according to your works.

In Acts, we see that 'he that worketh righteousness is accepted'.

Romans speaks of 'becoming servants of righteousness'.

1Corinthians teaches us to 'awake to righteousness, and sin not'.

2Corinthians shows that 'the ministration, or service of righteousness exceeds much more in esteem'. And that 'your service increases the fruit of your righteousness whose end shall be according to your works'.

Philippians speaks of 'being filled with fruits of righteousness'. And that 'righteousness is in keeping the laws of God'.

2Timothy instructs us to 'follow after righteousness', and that 'the scriptures are for our instructions in righteousness'.

Hebrews teaches us to 'love righteousness and hate iniquity', which shows us that iniquity is the result of sin which comes from unrighteousness which is the result of not loving His laws, which if we follow, keeps us from iniquity and unrighteousness.

James teaches us that 'righteousness is sown in peace', which is what we experience when we follow His laws.

Peter teaches that 'it is better for those who have not known the way of righteousness, than those who turn from the holy commandments'.

1John teaches us that 'everyone that doeth righteousness is engendered of Yahweh'.

All these teachings were taught from the Torah, as the Law and the Prophets were the only Scriptures Jesus and His disciples taught from. They are the foundation.

The 'churches' have no foundation. They've 'done away with' the Law and the Prophets. The Father and Jesus both said that we must 'believe the prophets'.

So again...

Deuteronomy 6:25 ​​ And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments (H4687- instructions) before Yahweh our God, as He hath commanded (H6680- instructed) us.

Leviticus 18:5 ​​ Ye shall therefore keep My statutes, and My judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am Yahweh.

' If ' is very important to understand!

And so, what is righteousness? Psalm 119:172 “All Thy commandments are righteousness.”

Deuteronomy chapter 7 backs up and confirms this 'if' deal.

Yahweh instructs the Israelites that when they come into the land they were to smite and destroy all these cursed seed Canaanite tribes. Make no covenants with them, and take none of them for marriage. Yahweh set our people apart from all other peoples, for we are a set-apart holy people unto Him. That He chose our people, loves us, and keeps His oaths, promises, and covenants with us alone. He does not want us adopting the ways of the Canaanites.

Deuteronomy ​​ 7:9 ​​ Know therefore that Yahweh your God, He is God, the faithful (trustworthy) God, which keepeth covenant and mercy (loving-commitment) with them that love Him and keep His commandments (H4687- instructions) to a thousand generations;

Notice: 'to a thousand generations'. Well, there were only about 153 generations from Adam to the present day. We know from Matthew chapter 1 that there were 14 generations from Abraham to David, 14 from David to the Babylonian captivity, and 14 generations from captivity unto The Christ. Which is 42 generations from Abraham to The Christ. So if you count from Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Levi, Kohath, and Amram to Moses and the giving of the Law, there were 36 generations from Moses to The Christ.

So it looks like, according to Deuteronomy, we must continue to keep His commandments for about another 22,000 years, which basically means....FOREVER! Obviously, the 'churches' can't do math, they hate the commandments, and they do not truly love Yahweh God.

​​ 7:10 ​​ And (Yahweh) repayeth them that hate Him to their face, to destroy them: He will not be slack to him that hateth Him, He will repay him to his face.

​​ 7:11 ​​ You shalt therefore keep (H8401- observe) the commandments (H4687- instructions), and the statutes (H2706), and the judgments (H4941), which I command (H6680- instruct) you this day, to do them.

​​ 7:12 ​​ Wherefore it shall come to pass, if you hearken to these judgments (H4941), and keep (H8401- observe), and do them, that Yahweh your God shall keep (H8401- observe) unto you the covenant and the mercy (loving-commitment) which He sware unto your ​​ (fore) fathers:

​​ 7:13 ​​ And He will love you, and bless you, and multiply you: He will also bless the fruit of your womb, and the fruit of your land, your corn, and your wine, and your oil, the increase of your kine, and the flocks of your sheep, in the land which He sware unto your (fore) fathers to give you.

It's a conditional covenant. Guard His commands and instructions and He will guard and keep you and His promises and covenant with you.

Deuteronomy 8:1 ​​ All the commandments (H4687- instructions) which I command (H6680- instruct) you this day shall you observe (H8104) to do, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh sware unto your (fore) fathers.

​​ 8:2 ​​ And you shalt remember all the way which Yahweh your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, and to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you wouldest keep (H8104- observe) His commandments (H4687- instructions), or no.

​​ 8:3 ​​ And He humbled you, and suffered you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you knewest not, neither did your fathers know; that He might make you know that man (Adam) doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of Yahweh doth man (Adam) live.

I used the word 'Adam' because man is H120 adawm, and is a reference to the children of Adam, which we are.

Matthew 4:4 ​​ But He answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Yahweh said these things to our BC ancestors in the Old Covenant, and we see that Jesus Christ said these things to our AD ancestors. And the 'churches' say that these commandments are not needed anymore. They don't live by EVERY WORD that proceedeth out of the mouth of Yahweh. They pick and choose what they want to believe, which is why they only preach 'happy meal sermons' and antinomianism.

​​ 8:5 ​​ You shalt also consider in your heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so Yahweh your God chasteneth you.

​​ 8:6 ​​ Therefore you shalt keep (H8104- observe) the commandments (H4687- instructions) of Yahweh your God, to walk in His ways, and to fear (revere) Him.

We are reminded in verses 7-10 that when we keep the instructions of Yahweh our God He blesses our dwelling place, our crops, and we lack nothing.

​​ 8:11 ​​ Beware that you forget not Yahweh your God, in not keeping (H8104- observing) His commandments (H4687- instructions), and His judgments (H4941), and His statutes (H2708), which I command you this day:

The rest of the chapter goes on to remind us that in our prosperity our hearts be lifted up and we forget Yahweh our God and we lean on our own power and might. And we forget it was Yahweh who blesses us, so we give thanks to other gods.

Hosea 2:8 ​​ For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.

The same happens to today's “church” goers. Yahweh gives to them, but they praise a Jewish Jesus for it. A Jewish Jesus is no different than Baal. They are both false gods.

Hosea 2:9 ​​ Therefore will I return, and take away My corn in the time thereof, and My wine in the season thereof, and will recover My wool and My flax given to cover her nakedness.

​​ 8:19 ​​ And it shall be, if you do at all forget Yahweh your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.

Matthew 7:23 ​​ And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.

Who do you think The Christ is talking to? He's not talking to the athiests, the non-believers, or the righteous. He's talking about the 'churches'. It's the 'churches' who claim to do things in His name.

Deuteronomy chapter 9 is about the golden calf, which is really about the 2nd Commandment against idolatry. Moses was up in the mount Sinai receiving the Ten Words for forty days and nights and the people had already broken the Commandment against idolatry.

Deuteronomy 9:12 ​​ And Yahweh said unto me, Arise, get you down quickly from hence; for your people which you hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded (H6680- instructed) them; they have made them a molten image.

​​ 9:15 ​​ So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.

​​ 9:16 ​​ And I looked, and, behold, you had sinned against Yahweh your God, and had made you a molten calf: you had turned aside quickly out of the way which Yahweh had commanded (H6680- instructed) you.

The same thing is happening today. Idolatry. Movie stars, music stars, presidents, crosses, fish, crucifixes, iPhones and selfies, Jewish Jesus. All idolatry.

So does God not mind too much today, because after all, aren't we all under grace now? Is our God a lenient God now? Will He share His glory with another?

Deuteronomy 10:12 ​​ And now, Israel, what doth Yahweh your God require of you, but to fear (revere) Yahweh your God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

​​ 10:13 ​​ To keep (H8104- observe) the commandments (H4687- instructions) of Yahweh, and His statutes (H2708), which I command (H6680- instruct) you this day for your good?

Micah 6:8 ​​ He hath shewed you, O man (H120- Adam), what is good; and what doth Yahweh require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

The rest of chapter 10 goes on to remind us that He chose our forefathers and their seed after them, even us, their descendants, above all people. He reminds us to love our kinsmen, not only our near kinsmen but our whole race. Moses, and Yahweh, are teaching us the 2 Great Commandments Jesus taught, here in Deuteronomy.

And because He knows we will forget, He continues to instruct us to love and obey Him in chapter 11.

Deuteronomy 11:1 ​​ Therefore you shalt love Yahweh your God, and keep (H8104- observe) His charge (H4931), and His statutes (H2708), and His judgments (H4941), and His commandments (H4687- instructions), always.

Always is H3605 kol, and means the whole, all, every. And H3117 yom, which in this context means a lifetime. Today, tomorrow, when the sun rises, when the sun sets. ALWAYS.

​​ 11:13 ​​ And it shall come to pass, if you shall hearken diligently unto My commandments (H4687- instructions) which I command (H6680- instruct) you this day, to love Yahweh your God, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,

​​ 11:14 ​​ That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that you mayest gather in your corn (grain), and your wine, and your oil.  ​​​​ (Lev 26:4)

​​ 11:15 ​​ And I will send grass in your fields for your cattle (livestock), that you mayest eat and be full.

​​ 11:16 ​​ Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

​​ 11:17 ​​ And then Yahweh's wrath be kindled against you, and He shut up the heaven (the sky), that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest you perish quickly from off the good land which Yahweh giveth you.

​​ 11:18 ​​ Therefore shall you lay up these My words (H1697) in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets (fixed) between your eyes.

My Words is H1697 dabar. Deuteronomy is elleh d'bariym (these are the Words). These Words of Yahweh are His commands and instructions.

His words (laws) should be in our intellect, our inner being-emotional center, a perpetual remembrance.

Verse 18 is misused by Talmudists (Jews), and instead of a metaphorical passage, it is taken literally by them. It was never intended by Moses, or God, to literally bind little boxes of scripture on your arms and head. You are to DO these commandments with your hands, and KEEP them on your mind.

Verse 19 instructs us to teach these instructions to our children. Verse 20 is another reminder to write them on our doorposts and gates. Why? Verse 21, so that our days may be multiplied, and the days of our children.

​​ 11:22 ​​ For if you shall diligently keep (H8104H8104- observe) all these commandments (H4687- instructions) which I command (H6680- instruct) you, to do them, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all His ways, and to cleave unto Him;

He will drive out all our enemies from before us wherever the soles of our feet shall tread.

​​ 11:26 ​​ Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;

​​ 11:27 ​​ A blessing, if you obey the commandments (H4687- instructions) of Yahweh your God, which I command (H6680- instruct) you this day:

​​ 11:28 ​​ And a curse, if you will not obey the commandments (H4687- instructions) of Yahweh your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command (H6680- instruct) you this day, to go after other gods, which you have not known.

​​ 11:32 ​​ And you shall observe (H8104) to do all the statutes (H2706) and judgments (H4941) which I set (H5414) before you this day.

Set is H5414 nathan, which means to give, appoint, assign, charge, commit, entrust.

Why so many repititions of His instructions?

Because He knows we will forget Him and His laws. He knows these apostate 'churches' will teach us over and over that they were 'done away with'.

Deuteronomy 12:1 ​​ These are the statutes and judgments, which you shall observe to do in the land, which Yahweh God of your (fore) fathers giveth you to possess it, all the days that you live upon the earth (soil).
