Chapter Nine
The 10 Commandments
Exodus 20 (1-17) and Deuteronomy 5 (6-12) … The 10 Commandments … the law's ordained by God Almighty are still as effective today, as in the days when they were first inscribed on the tablets of stone that were handed down to Moses … Exodus 34 (28) … but unfortunately … “still ignored” by mankind of today as they were in the days of old, (being the Old Testament) and why? … because of men's hearts intent which is continuously set and based upon disobedience, and evil thoughts. Gen 6 (1-6). The Pharisees and Sadducees of old, who are referred to today as the Ministers, Pastors, Bishops, Deacons, Rabbis or leaders of the churches … “still neglect” to teach the importance to the observance of the “original” 10 Commandments and why? John 3 (20-21) tells us … everyone “practising” Evil … hates the Light, and fears being exposed, so Jesus states in Matt 15 (1-11) … Why do you transgress the Commandments of God Almighty as a tradition … Professing to know me … but your hearts are far from me, and in “vain” you worship Me … and “teach” as a doctrine … the Commandments of men! Jesus`s teachings “are” clear and simple … ref Matthew 19 (16 and 17. If you want to enter into life … “Keep the Commandments” … John 14 (15) states … If you loved me, “keep my Commandments” … John 14 (20-23) says … He who has my Commandments and keeps him, it is “He” who loves me … 1 Corinthians 7 (19) … Keeping the Commandments of God Almighty is what matters … 1 John 2 (3-6) … We know him, “if” we keep “his” Commandments … 1 John 3 (18-24) … Whatever you ask, we receive, because we keep “his” Commandments … Revelations 14 (9-12) … Here is the “patience” of the Saints who keep the Commandments of God Almighty, and the “faith” of Jesus … Revelations 22 (14) … Blessed are those who “do” his Commandments.” As you can read, and see, the 10 Commandments are just as important today, as they were in Moses time … if not “more” important now … so a “standard” of Morals and Virtues can be seen to be adhered to … therefore … “do not” allow your heart or mind to be deceived by the fouls “Preachers” of this day and age who teach according to the “Commandments of men” … whose doctrines are death? … bringing oneself into the “Wrath” of God Almighty … which is “reserved” for the children of “disobedience” … ref Jude (6-13) and 2 Peter 2 (1-11). “Know” the 10 Commandments … Bind them in your “Minds thoughts” … Write them on the tablet of your heart … Live them, setting an example to those who will follow “your” example … 1John 5 (1-3) tells us that “his” Commandments are not burdensome. The first “3” Commandments relate “directly” to God Almighty himself which “are” the requirements expected of mankind … and the manner of devotion in the Mind, Heart, Soul and Spirit … ref Matt 22 (35-40). We have the 2nd Commandment making reference to the “objects of worship” … which states … You shall “not” create any object or bow down to them or serve them that are in Heaven above, the Earth below or under the sea! Then we have the 3rd Commandment … “Using” God Almighty's name in vain! … Daily you will hear the terminology … “for Christs sake … or Jesus Christ, what the … The answer to this phenomenon is expressed in Revelations, chapter 1 … “being the Revelation of Jesus Christ” … ref verses (7-8) … where “Jesus” states that he “is” the “Alpha and the Omega … the Beginning and the End … the Almighty God” Amen. This is further reiterated in John 5 (43) … “I've come in my father's name” … and John 17 (6) … “I have manifested your name”! It is expectant, and inevitable that the Spiritual Hosts of this World would curse the “Name of the Almighty” … wouldn’t you, if you “knew” you were condemned? The 4th Commandment is to the “observance” of the Sabbath day … a day of rest “devoted” to prayers with Thanksgiving. For as it is written in Gen 2 (2-3) … God Almighty ended his works and rested on the 7th day. Sanctifying it, making it holy, … he expects no less from this generation. The 5th commandment is about the “Honour” expected for “your” parents … both Mother and Father, and in doing so, … we can expect Good health and Longevity of days upon this earth. This Honour is also expectant from Adopted Children. The last 5 Commandments are about Morals and Virtues … summed up in the “New Commandment” Jesus taught in the book of John 13 (34) … Love one another, as I have loved you … Therefore … Do unto them, what you want them to do unto you. None of the 10 Commandments are so great that they “cannot” be adhered to … on the contrary … they are a wellspring of Life, to those who practise them and to those who acknowledge them … a blessing with Peace of Mind and a contrite heart. Let us consider a little in-depth understanding of each Commandment … comparing the Physical and the Spiritual with discernment … to have an appreciation of the laws. “1st Commandment” … The first commandment is very clear. Exodus 20 (3) …You will have “No other Gods” beside me. John 4 (23-24) describe that God “is” Spirit, and those who Worship him, must do so in Spirit and Truth … therefore … this manner can be no less than “in” the Mind with a pure heart, acknowledging him “in” Spirit … which redeems your Soul. Acknowledge “his” Spirit as your Breath of life, and the Holy Spirit of Jesus, the “Light of all men”! “2nd Commandment” … “Objects and idles”. You shall “not” make any image in the likeness of “anything” in Heaven above, or on the Earth beneath, or under the sea … and you “shall not bow down” to them. From a physical standpoint the Churches display many varying objects which they worship as idols. The majority of the towns and cities throughout the whole world have some form of Statue or Idol that represents that district. Within one's own house, there are objects … and material possessions which may be construed as objects of worship. Money and financial status are forms of “Idolatry” … therefore … for conscience’s sake … caution must be exercised as to the “intent” of any object. Now from a Spiritual perspective … all things begin with a “thought” … once the “thought” is conceived, the Spirit of the “thought” manifests itself … possessing the physical body, which in turn, brings the Soul into judgement. We all have some form of Spiritual knowledge in relation to the deceased and the Soul … via Seances, Ouija boards, Psychics readings, General discussions, and Churches … yet, what mankind have not comprehended is the fact that the physical body is purpose as a vessel “only” to inhouse the Soul … and a vehicle for the Spirit of both Good and Evil to manifest themselves in … and as such, the Spirit you entertain becomes the “idol.” Until we receive the knowledge of the Holy Spirit and the Soul, we are “not” able to evaluate the extent and objects we have previously bowed down to worship and the “abominable offence” that has been created … Thanks be to Jesus for his abundant forgiveness. “3rd Commandment” … You shall not take the “name” of the Lord your God in vain. Throughout all generations from Adam and Eve's time up to this present day … the “name” of God Almighty has been “misconstrued” by mankind using many “false” deceiving names to label, or identify the Creator … but praise be to the Father “who is” the Spirit of Jesus, … “he has” identified himself many times in the book of John … and further refers to himself as the Great “I Am” … ref Exodus 3 (14) … this is my name forever … and in Revelations 1 (8) and 1 (11) Jesus refers to himself as “I Am” … then further in John 8 (58) Jesus declares himself as “I Am”. Throughout the Old Testament, the angels and Prophets also referred to the title … The Lord of Hosts. The Old Testament clearly identifies God Almighty disappointment with mankind, even to the point his spirit was “grieved” that he had “made” mankind … ref Gen 6 (1-8) from the regeneration at “Noah`s time through to Malachi … being the last Prophet of the Old Testament … man's hearts desires have never changed … being full of Idolatry, Immorality, Sorcery and Blasphemy … even the Priests were “Corrupted”, as they “are” to this day … “teaching” the deceitful doctrines of men … ref Mark 7 (5-9). The Lord God Almighty knowing man's hearts and intent … also knew that for the sake of his Elect whom he had chosen and the “Remnant” he had saved, (being a special people unto himself) … he needed to send a Saviour into the world for the salvation of the Soul and the Body to enable them to receive the Eternal Life promised at the foundation of the world … ref Titus 1 (1-3). The Saviour God Almighty ordained and sent into this world, in the Physical form … was Christ the Lord … ref Luke 2 (10-11) … this Christ, was also known as the Son of God … refer Matt 16 (16) … even the Demonic Spirits “knew” that Christ was the Son of God … ref Luke 4 (40-41). Jesus and the Christ are 2 separate identities, one being the “Physical” flesh … and the other being the Spiritual being. This is evident according to 1 Timothy 3 (16) … God “was” manifested in the flesh … Justified in the Spirit … Seen by angels … Preached amongst the Gentiles … Believed on in the world and received up in Glory. John 5 (43) states … I have come in my Father's name. John 10 (30) states, I and my Father are one, and John 17 (1-6) says … the True God … and that Jesus “has” manifested the Father's name. The flesh of Christ … being the “vessel and temple” for the Spirit of God Almighty … was glorified when it was released and “raised” from the grips of Death by the Breath of the Holy Spirit ”Without” blood and water due to Jesus being speared in his side by the Roman guards … ref John 19 (34). Now the “importance” of knowing God Almighty name is so that when the great and mighty day arrives when he comes to collect those who are His … there will be no doubt in your minds or hearts as to whom you should call upon, for as it is written in Acts 4 (11-12) … the “stone” which the builders rejected has become the Chief cornerstone and that there is “no other name” under Heaven “given” amongst man by which we may be saved. Clearly the Father's name is Jesus … and the Physical body … “is” the Messiah, the Christ? … ref John 1 (34) and John 4 (25-26). “4th Commandment” … Sabbath Day. The Sabbath day “is” the 7th day according to Gen 2 (2) … a day of “rest” when God Almighty had ended “all” his work which his Spirit had created … this being the Heavens, the Earth, and “all” the Hosts of them. The 7th day “is” just as important today, as when it was first ordained by God Almighty Himself, as a day of rest but which Day is the Sabbath Day? Some Pharisees … Sadducees and Religious leaders of today, would have you believe it is either Saturday or Sunday. Consider for a moment the people who are obliged to work “shift” work which may include a weekend … are they able to dictate to their Employer, the Days or Hours of work to suit a particular Sabbath day according to the Commandments of men … I think not … therefore … should these workers be excluded from a Day of rest … Not at all, for it is written … 6 days you shall labour … but keep the 7th day Holy, which may “not” necessarily be a Saturday or a Sunday … These are Pagan traditional teachings … and requirements from men. Romans 14 (1-14) states … Esteem every day the same “not’ judging another’s beliefs … or do the scriptures say that only a Saturday or a Sunday can be the Sabbath day. Every day is a Holy day unto the Lord your God. Everyday is a day of Prayer and Thanksgiving. Every day we ought to humble our Souls in reverence with the acknowledgement of the Grace that “is” being bestowed upon us … the Gift of Eternal life. Every day is a Sabbath day alike … and in accordance to your occupation and your days of work, it is your choice what day you choose as a Sabbath Day, as long as you keep it Holy as a day of worship and rest in the Spirit … ref John 4 (21-24). “5th Commandment” … Honour your Parents. This commandment is very intriguing being likened to a parable of two meanings. Not all people have biological Parents that they reside with or raised by, I'm referring to orphans … nonetheless respect must be forthcoming to the parent figure that did raise them. Let us consider a Spiritual understanding. Matt 23 (9) which states. “One is your Father. Matt 6 (9-13) says. “Our Father who is in Heaven” referring to the Spirit. Ephesians 4 (4-6) states … One body, One Spirit, One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, One God and Father of all … therefore … let us be faithful and worship the Master and Creator of our Souls by acknowledge “his” Spirit and Name. There is a Mother who is the Mother of us all, according to our Spiritual … who dwells in the 3rd heaven? … refer 2 Cor 12 (1-4). Galatians 4 (22-26) clearly explains about a “Bond woman and a Freed woman.” The Bond woman “thinks and speaks” according to the carnal worldly “thoughts” of consciousness … while the “Freed women’s” concerns relate to neutering the “inner being” … the Spiritual Soul from the Heavenly Jerusalem, Mount Zion, the City of the Living God “Jesus our Christ”, which is spoken about in Heb 12 (22-26) … a further reference is in Rev 12 (1) and Rev 21 (9-10) … this is the realm where the knowledge is contained about the “New Covenant” … Hebrews 8 (7-13) … and is administered by the Holy Spirit who speaks in us. “6th Commandment” … You shall not murder … Morals, Virtues, and Common-sense dictate that you shall “not” murder … yet the Government or Political leaders want hesitate to enrol you to “Murder” on their behalf while they “sit in the comfort” of their houses or on their lands. I refer to “World Wars”. These cretins will allow you to enter a foreign land to “Murder the inhabitants” you have no direct conflict with so they can dictate … meantime it is your Soul that they are sacrificing, “not theirs.” Then we have the Spiritual Murderers … these Beasts “withhold” the knowledge as to the Salvation of your Soul … the whole purpose why we are brought forth in the flesh … to gain the understandable knowledge of Salvation for the next Realm once the body has become deceased … ref Matt 23 (13) which “clearly” defines the “creatures” … and their intents. “7th Commandment” … You shall not commit adultery. Marriage is sacred and Holy the bond and unity of true love if ordained by the living God Jesus Christ himself. Adultery is a sign of weakness, devotion and commitment and if this is the case, then the marriage is based upon “lust” and “Vows” were made under a false pretence and short sighted Gal 5 (16-21) states, that the flesh “lusts against the Spirit.” Adultery is the result of 2 Spirits creating a “physical desire” in the mind. Firstly, we have Jezebel, a self-proclaimed prophetess … ref Rev 2 (20-22) a sexually immoral Spirit who beguiles the simple. Then we have Beelzebub, the Ruler of Demons … ref Matt 12 (24) the controller of “conscious thoughts”, the fornicator who entices by “conceived thoughts.” … Heb 13 (4) explains this very issue. “8th Commandment” … You should not steal. Self-explanatory … if it is not yours, leave it alone. Stealing has many understandings and does not necessarily mean a Physical object. Time, Knowledge, Morals, Virtues and emotions are examples of unseen thefts … and very detrimental to one's well-being. Then from a Spiritual standpoint, when one has been blessed with the “gift” of the knowledge of the “New Covenant” taught by the Holy Spirit of Jesus … and one does “not share” the enlightenment … this Host has “stolen” the right to the understanding of Salvation for the Body and Soul … Stealing is a very serious offence. “9th Commandment” … You shall not bear false witness … John 8 (31-32) … Jesus states. If you abide in my Word, “you” are my Disciples … you “shall” know the truth, and the truth shall set you free. Any deceptive talk of a carnal nature is the workings of the “false” Spirit manifesting its hearts intent through speech. The pastors of this generation are no exception … for it is written in Titus 1 (15-16) … They professed to know the Living God but deny him in works. This is evident by the lack of action to perform any of Jesus`s miracles … therefore … one can only assume that under false pretence these false Preachers deceive their congregation to create for themselves a weekly income through donations. You judge? “10th Commandment” … Covenantness …You shall not covet your Neighbour, his Maidservant, or Manservant. The main reason that there is so much turmoil in the world today is because mankind are not content with what has been bestowed unto them personally … When is enough, enough? Man`s desires have no end. Once they have achieved their desired goal the novelty eventually wears off and “another” desire is conceived starting a vicious cycle over again of which there is no end to the toil. All things a person possesses are gifts from the Almighty. These gifts are presented to test one`s gratitude … yet the Soul of a person does not consider … that as we came into this world … is the same manner we will depart from it … with the exception that we “must” give an account for our Souls existence while upon the Earth as to the gratification while in the body. As one can read and understand from, and by the laws of God Almighty, the 10 Commandments are not so burdensome or beyond reproach that they cannot be adhered to … but they are in fact “health to the body” … wholesome to life … and “Peace of Mind” with a steadfast heart to those who have established them through faith and practise. Amen. Acknowledged them, practised them, Share them. The 10 Commandments are without excuse.
