“After the public rehearsal of the law, Moses completed the work of writing all the laws, the statutes, and the judgments, which God had given him, and all the regulations concerning the sacrificial system. The book containing these was placed in charge of the proper officers, and was for safe keeping deposited in the side of the ark.” (PP466) (Deut 31: 6)Now since the sacrifices and oblations have ended at the cross, then what is left in the Mosaic Law or the Book of the Law? Isn’t it the Everlasting Covenant our Ketubah? The Mosaic law of statutes and ordinances that did not end at the cross but …• “amplified principles of Decalogue” (PP 364); • That are “designed to guard sacredness of Decalogue” (PP364). • And are “to play an important part in helping people prepare for the day of the Lord” (4 BC 1134). • All within the “book deposited in the side of the ark of the covenant” (PP466). Now why was the Book of the Law placed in the side of the ark? We are told that it was placed there for “safe keeping” to be brought out “for future reference” (The Story of Redemption 171-2) and to be kept continually before the people (See Deut 31:10, 11).False Setting Number 3 Now we have come to False Setting Number 3 “The Bible presents two laws, one changeless and eternal and the other provisional and temporary.” (PP370.)We have identified these two laws as the • Ten Commandment written on stone, changeless and eternal• Mosaic Law, a handwritten manuscript such as provisional and temporary. In that case, if the Mosaic Law or Book of the Law is only provisional and temporary then where do the statutes and ordinance of our covenant go? ß Those of tithingß Those teaching the reverence and respect to Godß Those against homosexuality ß Those against incestß Those teaching clean and unclean meatsß Those teaching principles of health ß Those concerning marriageß The care of the servantß The treatment and the rights of the strangerß The care of the widowß Those teaching the principles of the Sabbath ß And other religious laws such as crimes against God.These we know are statutes of 2708 that are not ended that • That “amplified principles of Decalogue” (PP 364) • That are “designed to guard sacredness of Decalogue” (PP364)• That was “to play an important part in preparing us for the day of the Lord” (4BC1134). • And were to be continually kept before us. (The Story of Redemption 171-2) (See Deut 31:10, 11).Most everyone has seen a contract. It has bold print headings and fine print that explains what is said in the bold print. Likewise our covenant with our Bridegroom also has bold print headings, which are the Ten Commandments and fine print, which amplify the headings. These are the statutes and ordinances that are everlasting as long as time should last. These statutes include the health laws that we do keep and civil laws that we also obey but do not enforce since we are not governed by a theocracy. Today governments hold the responsibility to enforce their own civil laws.I have always thought that the word “commandments” meant the Ten Commandments exclusively. But the Hebrew word most often used for the word commandments is 4687 mitzvah, mits-vaw and is not defined as Decalogue but “collective law”. And The Lexical Aids in the Complete Word Study Bible by AMG Publishers defines mitzvah or “collective law” as “the law of Moses.” I am thankful that God is beginning to open up the eyes of His people to see these buried treasures. I have certainly been humbled realizing that, by not studying the Scriptures with a concordance most of my life, I have only been a surface reader.Previously we have seen the Sinai Covenant as the Decalogue exclusively, but now we see that our covenant also includes the statutes 2708 which are called the fine print or the feminine part or special directions. ~ In the following quote we are told exactly where our covenant is found in Scripture.“It was Jesus Christ Himself who gave special directions to Israel. … The Lord gave many other statutes or judgments, which were to be strictly obeyed. These are recorded in the twenty-first, twenty-second, and twenty-third chapters of Exodus.” (2 SAT 187.2 &3).As I read I was quite surprised by some of the statutes that I found within these chapters and wondered how they applied to us today. But I am convinced as we study God will reveal to us how they apply for He has promised that would write all His character, His law upon our hearts.“The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.” Isaiah 24:5
