- Biblical
wisdom is practical, not theoretical,
- and the
wisdom is delivered from the point of view of a father to his
children.
- As
opposed to, from a king to his servants.
- YAHWEH
gave HIS instructions by communicating in simple candid language,
- not
veiled in technical terms.
- Still
true to this day, the children may not have liked it,
- but they
always knew exactly what the FATHER was communicating to them.
- HE wants
HIS children to grow, learn, and prosper.
- The
children are to do as their FATHER says,
- and show
HIM the proper respect because HE is honorable.
- Honor in
the Bible is a two-way street,
- if
one is to be honored, then one must conduct himself honorably.
- Our
FATHER lives by an honorable example,
- as
opposed to the anti-GOD rulers’ point of view:
- “Do
not do as I do, but do as I say!”
- .

- ...
- .
- In
our CREATOR'S universe,
- love
is the power.
- The original
and greatest command,..
- called the
Rainbow Commandment,
- comes from the
Rainbow Covenant given to Noah:
- Life is
Sacred,
- Do Not Murder!
(Gen.9:5-6)
- .
- From Noah,
- to
Abraham,
- to
Moses,
- to
Yahshua-Jesus,
- the Divine
message is the same...
- .
- .
- Love your
CREATOR,
- and love
your neighbor.
- Matthew
22:36-40

One must remember,
most of the world lives under the Universal Rainbow / Noahic Covenant
(Gen.9:1-17). These basic human spiritual- rights in the Universal Covenant, govern
a-l-l humanity, and they were also restated by Yahshua, and the
Apostles (
Mat.13:24-30; Act.15:29).
-
-
In ancient times, these 7
commandments were called "The Noachide Laws." They were preached by
Noah which all people of the new world were required to follow. (Hebrew)
|
- 1 - Do
not murder (Shefichat
damim).
- 2 - Do not steal
or kidnap (Gezel).
- 3 - Do not
worship false gods (Avodah
zarah).
- 4 - Do not be
sexually immoral (engage
in incest, sodomy, bestiality, castration and adultery)
(Gilui
arayot).
- 5 - Do not utter
GOD's name in vain, curse GOD, or pursue the occult (Birkat
Hashem).
- 6 - Set up
righteous and honest courts, and apply fair justice in judging
offenders, and uphold the principles of the last five
(Dinim).
- 7 - Do not eat
the limb of an animal before it is killed (Ever
Min HaChai).

The Seven
Abominations - Proverbs 6:16-22
- "These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil,
A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.
My son, keep your father's command, And do not forsake the law of your mother.
Bind them continually upon your heart; Tie them around your neck.
When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you;
- And when you awake, they will speak with you."
- If one applies themselves
to the narrow path of the higher Covenants
- we learn from Moses and
Yahshua...
- YHWH’S
Kingdom is an intergalactic republic (a society based on the equal
rule of law),
- and
its commerce system is a form of honest capitalism, not predatory
capitalism.
- In
the Kingdom, these supreme Ten Commands are the code of conduct
- in
our relation with other people, nations, and even other worlds.
- The
Golden Rule is the keystone,
- and
these Commandments are the foundation stones of YAHWEH’S
eternal Laws,
- they
are everlasting (Ps.119:142), and they will endure forever (Ps.119:160).
- "If
you love Me,
keep
My commandments." - John 14:15
Eternal life in the Kingdom means following the basic Kingdom Laws.
The Angels live by them, and so will we. Yahshua plainly stated in
the above verse, "... I say to you, till heaven and earth pass
away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the 'Law' till
all is fulfilled.” Which law was He talking about? It was
not the man-designed Jewish law, but the Law of the Heavens given to
Moses.
Yahshua clearly warned: “...
but if you want to enter into life,
keep The Commandments,” Matthew 19:18. It’s one of those
no-brainer issues, let us quickly review the Ten Commandments.
They are first listed in order in the Old Testament (Exo.20:3-17) in the
New Testament they are not listed in order but they are still there.
- Here is a good way to
remember them:
- Scriptures say
the Messiah sits on the right hand of YAHWEH.
- Picture the
Messiah's left hand pointing to our CREATOR,
- and His right hand
points to the earthly community, (Mar.16:19, Rev.5:7).
- ....
Hold up both hands,
start with them closed,
- begin with the left
hand,
- it serves our CREATOR
and the Kingdom,
- open the:
- First
finger, Number-one, numero-uno: NO
OTHER GODS...,
Mat.4:10.
Second
finger: NO
IDOLS OR GRAVEN IMAGES...,1Jon.5:21; Act.17:29.
Third finger: KEEP
HIS NAME HOLY...,
1Timothy 6:1.
Fourth
finger: KEEP
THE SABBATH HOLY..., Mark 2:27.
Thumb
of left hand points to the right hand, which serves the community: HONOR
THY MOTHER AND FATHER..., Mat.19:19.
-
Next is the
right hand symbolizing the community Laws.
- It begins
with the biggie
commandment,
- because it goes back
to the Rainbow Covenant,
- the most important finger of the right hand:
- The
thumb: NO
MURDER...;
- First
finger: NO
ADULTERY...;
- Second
finger: NO
STEALING...;
- Third
finger: NO
LYING...,
are
all in Mat.19:18 and Rom.13:9.
- Fourth
finger: NO
COVETING...,
Romans 7:7.
- ..
- The 11th
commandment,
made famous by US President Ronald Regan.
- Never speak
ill of another believer, (Eph.4:30-32).
THE GOLDEN RULE
in
the Old Testament (Lev.19:18),
is carried over in
the New Testament in Matthew 7:12.
-
Don't forget to...
- "...
extend the right hand of fellowship."
Gal.2:9
There are also warnings of using a sharp tongue such as blasphemy
or harsh speaking (Jam.3:5-6). Evil speaking, such as backbiting, revile, defame,
slander (2Cor.12:20). Complainers or whiners are admonished for
murmuring, grumbling and griping (1Cor.10:10).
The Apostle Paul called it fighting the good fight (1Tim.6:12), he meant
fighting the spiritual forces of evil by keeping ones own body under
subjection and not giving into evil by controlling ones appetites, lusts,
desires, and doubts (1Cor.9:25-27). Moderation is the Law (Phi.4:5).
-
- In
the Bible, "woe" means great sorrow.
- And, it warns
us,
- Woe unto them
:
- that call evil good, and good evil;
- that put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
- that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
-
that are wise in their own eyes,
- and prudent in their own sight!
that are mighty to drink wine,
- and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
Which justify the wicked for reward,
- and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
- - Isaiah 5:20

- "Finally,
brethren, whatever things are true,
- whatever
things are noble, whatever things are
just, whatever things are pure,
- whatever
things are lovely, whatever things are of
good report,
- if there
is any virtue and if there is anything
praiseworthy—
- meditate
on these things.
- ... and the
God of peace will be with you."
- - Philippians 4:8
