Commandment 10

Exodus 20:17 “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.”

This is the broadest prohibition of the Ten Commandments, spilling over to numerous portions of the Scripture. This commandment gives us three different views of “covet.” The initial commandment (Exodus 20:17) uses the Hebrew word chamad, which means “to delight in.” The repeated commandment (Deuteronomy 5:21) uses the word ‘avah, which translates “to wish for.” And the applied commandment (Jeremiah 6:13) uses the word batsa’, which is “to be greedy.”

There are two classic examples from which we can learn. In spite of the awesome evidence of the Rea Sea crossing, water from the rock, and the manna from heaven, Israel was not satisfied with the Lord’s provision (Numbers 11:7-15). They “fell a lusting” (‘avah) for the old delicacies of Egypt (Numbers 11:4-6). The Lord gave Israel its request for “meat” (Numbers 11:16-31), then sent a plague of judgment on the ungrateful nation (Numbers 11:32-35).

There is also the tragic example of Achan (Joshua 7). Achan had been warned twice (Deuteronomy 7:25; Joshua 6:18-19) not to crave the riches of Jericho. But he gave into “a delightful desire” (chamad, Joshua 7:21). Achan’s sin brought judgment upon the whole nation (Joshua 7:5-15) until he was executed (Joshua 7:25-26).

God does not tolerate covetousness. The Bible is clear: Those who covet are never satisfied (Psalm 78:23-37) and have leanness sent to their souls (Psalm 106:13-15). May our Lord protect us from giving in to the “lust of the flesh”
(1 John 2:16). Days of Praise – HMM III – ICR

COVET – to desire wrongfully, inordinately, or without due regard for the rights of others:
Romans 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
1 Corinthians 5:10-11 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.

Thou Shalt Not NT

It’s been said that Christianity is too negative. Too many DO NOT’s and THOU SHALT NOT’s. But a search of the New Testament does NOT bear this out. The Lord Jesus only repeated the THOU SHALT NOT’s found in the 10 Commandment’s.

Matthew 4:7, Luke 4:12 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Matthew 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
Matthew 5:26, Luke 12:59 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
Matthew 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
Matthew 5:33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
Matthew 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Matthew 19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

Paul, preaching at Antioch, quotes a Psalm regarding the Resurrection:
Acts 13:35 Wherefore he saith also in another Psalm 16:10, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Then before the high priest, Ananias …
Acts 23:5 Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
Paul, also quoted from the 10 Commandments.
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, Thou shalt not covet.
Romans 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
And later he justified preaches the right to be paid:
1 Corinthians 9:9 For it is written in the law of Moses, thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
1 Timothy 5:18 For the scripture saith, thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
And the resurrected Lord Jesus reminded the assembly at Sardis, about his second coming:
Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

So, where is the too negative. The too many DO NOT’s and THOU SHALT NOT’s?
The true believer has LIBERTY.
Romans 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

Saved to Serve.

Anti-Semitism Part 2

It’s Cause:

The term anti-Semitism was first popularized by German journalist Wilhelm Marr in 1879 to describe hatred or hostility toward Jews. The history of anti-Semitism, however, goes back much further.
Some say it’s because of certain National characteristics, bargaining and trading.
In the Middle Ages, the Roman Church designated which occupations were allowed them.
Others say it’s their facial features.
Others say you cannot do business with a Jew because they do shady business deals.
The Jew controls all Banking and monetary flow.
And, again the Jew is annoyingly aggressive.
They are accused of being clannish. always staying in their own group.
Another vivification of the Jew is a depression was brought on by Republican Jews during the Hover Administration.
The Second World War was the influence of Democratic Jews during Roosevelt Administration.
The Jew was responsible for the infiltration of Communism during Truman Administration.
These charges usually form the Gentile answer to the reason for their dislike or hatred of the Jew.
The Jews generally say the reason is the crucifixion of Christ (which many accuse them).
BUT what is the real reason?
The Devil, Satan, is the moving personality behind all anti-Semitism. Satan knew the promised Messiah would come thru the Jew and he tries to stop it by wiping out the Jewish nation.

Anti-Semitism Part 3

It’s Course:

Satan is the cause, and the course is devilish and evil. The first anti-Semite on record is Pharaoh of Egypt Exodus 1:6-14.
Then many years later the book of Esther records the acts of the Jew hating Haman, who tried to kill all Jews.
Later about 168 BC, a violent wave of persecution broke out against the Jews in the time of Antiochus Epiphanes, King of Syria.
Again, the Roman War, 66-70 AD Jerusalem, the Temple wee destroyed and Jews were scattered through-out the world.
The Crusades, 1095-1212 AD were a time when religious emotion ran rampant, blaming the Jew.
Then in the 15th century the Jews became the object of the vile hatred of the Roman Catholic Church. All Jews were ordered out of Spain in 1492.
The persecution of the Jew beginning in 1933 by Hitler included the murder of some 6,000,000 Jews.
Persecution of the Jew continues even today in many parts of the world. BUT AS SURE AS God is in Heaven and His Word is true, the Jew will never be annihilated.
Jeremiah 30:11 For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet I will not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.

Anti-Semitism Part 4

IT’S CURE:

The Cure extends in three defendant directions: The Individual, The Nations, Israel itself:
When an INDIVIDUAL gets saved (Romans 10:9) then studies God’s word, learns about God’s plans, understands what go has been and is doing, hatred for the Jew disappears.
The cure for Nations is found In Matthew 25 at the judgement of the Nations.
Then when ISRAEL turn with a sincere faith to the Lord Jesus as her Messiah, anti-Semitism will cease.
Hosea 3:4-5 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim: Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.
Zechariah 14:2-4 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
Zechariah 14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

YES, the Jew is God’s chosen people on earth and He will restore their relationship with Him.
The Church, true believers are the Body of Christ and will join Him in Heaven forever.

Jewish Temple

Wilderness wandering’s Tabernacle.

The Temple has been built twice. The First Temple was built in the 10th century B.C.E. by King Solomon, according to the Hebrew Bible (1 Kings 5-9).

The second Temple occurred when Cyrus the Great (Ezra 5:13-17,6:3,14) allowed the Jews to return to the Land of Israel, beginning in 538 B.C.E. A rebuilt Temple was dedicated in 515 B.C.E. – a little-known precursor to the grand structure called Herod’s Temple. It was an expanded and significantly upgraded structure whose construction was led by the half-Jewish, Herod, the Roman-appointed king of Judea who died in 4 B.C.E. Finished in about 20 B.C.E. It was leveled by Titus in 70 B.C.E.

The Jewish nation has been without a Temple and Temple worship (including Animal Sacrifice) since then. Their desire is to (re)built the Temple so their complete Temple worship, according to the Law can resume. According to Daniel 9:27,12:11 the Temple will have to be rebuilt (Matthew 24:15), probably at the beginning of the Tribulation, as the “prince that will come” will cause Temple worship to cease in the middle of JACOB’S TROUBLE. (Jeremiah 30:7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it).

Feasts of Israel

This is not to be a complete study of the Feasts of Israel, just an overview. For a detailed study, search the web for FEASTS OF ISRAEL. These feasts were given to Israel for worship of God, BUT also to tell them of the coming of MESIAH. He fulfilled some at his death, burial, resurrection and ascension, and will fulfill all at His 2nd coming.

1st Exodus 34:25 PASSOVER | PESACH
Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover
God’s sovereign promise to deliver and redeem His people.
2nd Exodus 12:17 UNLEAVENED BREAD
And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread;
Celebrates the ending of Slavery in Egypt and leaving for the promise land.
3rd Exodus 23:16 FIRST FRUITS
And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering,
Celebrates the harvest each year – Resurrection Sunday, or Easter.
4th Exodus 34:22 SHAVUOT | PENTECOST
And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end
50 days after the feast of first fruits. Leviticus 23:21 And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
5th Leviticus 25:9 YOM TERUAH – THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS (Rosh Hashanah)
Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. A time of repentance
Trumpets were used to announce coming judgements Revelation 6-7.
6th LEVITICUS 16:29-31 YOM KIPPUR – THE DAY OF ATONEMENT –
And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you: For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD. It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.
Mandated establishment of this holy day on the 10th day of the 7th month as the day of atonement for sins. It calls it the Sabbath of Sabbaths and a day upon which one must afflict one’s soul.
7th Leviticus 23:34 SUKKOT – THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES –
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord.
It is intended as a reminiscence of the type of fragile dwellings in which the Israelites dwelt during their 40 years of travel in the desert after the Exodus from slavery in Egypt.

What Jewish TRIBE am I from?

Tribal identities have been lost…

“For the most part, tribal identities have been lost through the generations, and the majority of Jews do not know which tribe they are from.
There are a number of people whose families have passed down their identity as Kohanim (Priests) or Levites, which means they descend from the tribe of Levi. There are also a handful of non-Levite families who can trace their ancestry to a particular tribe, but these are few and far between.
When the Messiah comes, we will all find out which tribes we are from. So, if this bit of information is important to you, do your best to hasten his arrival!”
⟶ By Malkie Janowski https://www.chabad.org

BUT GOD knows who each and every Jew is and what Tribe of which he is a member. The Lord Jesus spoke these words (Matthew 10:30) But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Now if God knows that, then He knows what tribe each and every Jew is from.
In Revelation 7:3-8 God lists each tribe (all 12) and who will be sealed from each tribe and become evangelists during the 7-year tribulation.
And in Revelation 14:1-6 He describes who they are and their qualifications:
• SEALED ⟶ Father’s (God) name written in their foreheads
• A NEW SONG ⟶ only they could sing
• REDEEMED ⟶ from the earth during the Tribulation
• WITHOUT FAULT ⟶ no guile was found in their mouth
• NOT MARRIED ⟶ Not defiled with women, Virgin
• FIRSTFRUITS ⟶ of the Lamb
• TO TRAVEL WORLDWIDE ⟶ having the everlasting gospel to preach

Temple

The Tabernacle in Its Ancient Near Eastern Context - TheTorah.com

From the time of Moses until 70 AD, except for about 70 years during Daniel’s time, Israel, the Jews, have had a Tabernacle, replaced by a Temple during Solomon’s time, where they could worship God and offer animal sacrifices according to the Law. In 70 AD, due to Israel’s rejection of Christ, God allowed the Romans to destroy the Temple and begin the disbursement of the Jews throughout the world as He said He would. The Jews have been without the ability to offer animal sacrifice, required by the Law, ever since. But God has promised He will gather all Israel back to the land He gave them and set up a Kingdom for them to rule the earth with their Messiah.

Herod's Temple, Jerusalem ARTchive @ PreteristArchive.com, The ...

In the Gospels and the book of Acts, the TEMPLE is mentioned 85 times.

As magnificent as the Temple was, The Lord Jesus told of it’s destruction.
Matthew 24:1-2, Mark 13:1-2, Luke 19:41-44, 21:6 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

The Lord Jesus told the Samarian woman, at the well, when the Temple would not be needed to worship God. John 4:1-24. vs 23-24 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

The Temple existed during Paul’s life, but he wanted believers to know they were the spiritual Temple. Paul writing to the Corinthian believers about the Temple but usually in reference to their bodies.
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
(also see 6:19, 8:10, 9:13, 2 Corinthians 6:16)

Paul writes about the spiritual Temple in Ephesians 2:21-22 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
And the Temple he speaks about in 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Is the rebuilt Temple during the Tribulation.
Yes, the Temple will be rebuilt, either just before or right after the Rapture
(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18), and the Jews will go back to Temple worship as it was during the Time of Paul.

The Temple is mentioned 13 times in Revelation.

It appears to be the TEMPLE that is in Heaven. Revelation 7:15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. (also see 3:12; 11:1-2, 19; 14:15; 15:5-6, 8; 16:1,17).
But look at the last reference. Revelation 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
In the great city, the holy Jerusalem (read Revelation 21:10-27) there will be no need for a Temple.

ARK of the Covenant

Just what was the ARK OF THE COVENANT? Why was it Built? How was it Built? What was it used for? What did it contain? Where was it to be kept? What happened to it?

12 Commands for the construction:

The construction is found in Exodus 25:10-16,
Exodus 25:21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.

What was in the ARK:

Deuteronomy 10:3-5 And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand. And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me. And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD commanded me.

Exodus 40:20-21 And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark: And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.
The testimony: (Exodus 40:20)
Exodus 16:33-34 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations. As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
Numbers 17:10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron’s rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.
Deuteronomy 31:26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.

Why were these objects chosen:

TEN COMMANDMENTS … to remind the (Jews) People that they had broken God’s basic laws and were in need of Salvation.
MANNA … to remind the (Jews) people that they rejected God’s daily provision.
ARRON’S ROD … to remind the (Jews) people that they rejected God’s leadership.
MOSES BOOK … to remind the (Jews) people of God’s many work’s in their lives.
