2
The Great Deception

• Although we may not admit it outright, deep down
  our idea about the law of God is that before Mt.
  Sinai, men lived by faith without any law and
  after the Messiah died, we are now set free back
  to that way of living.
• A no law, law, then no law kind of thinking.
• Lets see if that notion really holds water in
  scripture.

3

• Were there Commandments before the Commandments?

4

• Gen 216 And the LORD God commanded the man,
  saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest
  freely eat 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.

5

• Gen 264 I will make your descendants as
  numerous as the stars in the sky and will give
  them all these lands, and through your offspring
  all nations on earth will be blessed, 5 because
  Abraham obeyed me and kept my requirements, my
  commands, my decrees and my laws.
• Ex 827 We must take a three-day journey into
  the desert to offer sacrifices to the LORD our
  God, as he commands us."

YHVH Gives The Passover

• Ex. 127 And they shall take of the blood, and
  strike it on the two side posts and on the upper
  door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat
  it. 8 And they shall eat the flesh in that
  night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread and
  with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 9 Eat not
  of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but
  roast with fire his head with his legs, and with
  the purtenance thereof. 10 And ye shall let
  nothing of it remain until the morning and that
  which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall
  burn with fire. 11 And thus shall ye eat it
  with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet,
  and your staff in your hand and ye shall eat it
  in haste it is the YHVHs passover.
• 14 And this day shall be unto you for a
  memorial and ye shall keep it a feast to the
  LORD throughout your generations ye shall keep
  it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

7

• Jesus became the fulfillment of this Celebration
  by becoming the Passover Lamb.
• This is the Day that He died on the cross.

8
He Gives Unleavened Bread

• 15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread
  even the first day ye shall put away leaven out
  of your houses for whosoever eateth leavened
  bread from the first day until the seventh day,
  that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
• 16 And in the first day there shall be an holy
  convocation, and in the seventh day there shall
  be an holy convocation to you no manner of work
  shall be done in them, save that which every man
  must eat, that only may be done of you.
• 17 And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened
  bread for in this selfsame day have I brought
  your armies out of the land of Egypt therefore
  shall ye observe this day in your generations by
  an ordinance for ever.

9

• The Feast of Unleavened Bread starts with
  Passover Day and then goes for 7 days.
• All sin (leaven) is to be removed from the house.
• Yeshua removed and destroyed the power of sin
  that had a hold on mankind! AMEN!

10
The Connection and Command

• Ex. 1226 And it shall come to pass, when your
  children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this
  service? 27 That ye shall say, It is the
  sacrifice of the LORDS 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.
• Lu 2219 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and
  brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my
  body which is given for you This do in
  remembrance of Me.

11
Pass the Test

• Ex. 164 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Behold, I
  will rain bread from heaven for you. And the
  people shall go out and gather a certain quota
  every day, that I may test them, whether they
  will walk in My law or not.

12
He Gives the Sabbath

• Gen 22 And on the seventh day God ended His
  work which He had done, and He rested on the
  seventh day from all His work which He had done.
• 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and
  sanctified it, because in it He rested from all
  His work which God had created and made.

13
He Gives the Sabbath

• Ex 1623 Then he said to them, "This is what the
  LORD has said Tomorrow is a Sabbath rest, a
  holy Sabbath to the LORD. Bake what you will bake
  today, and boil what you will boil and lay up
  for yourselves all that remains, to be kept until
  morning."
• 24 So they laid it up till morning, as Moses
  commanded and it did not stink, nor were there
  any worms in it.
• 25 Then Moses said, "Eat that today, for today
  is a Sabbath to the LORD today you will not find
  it in the field.
• 26 "Six days you shall gather it, but on the
  seventh day, which is the Sabbath, there will be
  none."
• 27 Now it happened that some of the people went
  out on the seventh day to gather, but they found
  none.
• 28 And the LORD said to Moses, "How long do you
  refuse to keep My commandments and My laws?

14
Teaching Gods Laws before they were given?

• Ex 1812 Then Jethro, Moses father-in-law,
  brought a burnt offering and other sacrifices to
  God, and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel
  to eat bread with Moses father-in-law in the
  presence of God.
• 13 The next day Moses took his seat to serve
  as judge for the people, and they stood round him
  from morning till evening.
• 14 When his father-in-law saw all that Moses was
  doing for the people, he said, "What is this you
  are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit as
  judge, while all these people stand round you
  from morning till evening?"
• 15 Moses answered him, "Because the people come
  to me to seek Gods will.
• 16 Whenever they have a dispute, it is brought
  to me, and I decide between the parties and
  inform them of Gods decrees and laws."

15
Up Until This Point

• YHVH gave very specific instructions on diet,
  sacrifices, holy days, the Sabbath and many other
  instructions LONG BEFORE Moses received them
  again on Mt. Sinai.

16
The Breakdown

• Moses goes up the Mountain (Ex. 193)
• He tells them that all of them are to be a
  kingdom of priests and a holy nation. (196)
• Moses goes back down the Mtn. to tell the people
  and the people respond that they will obey all He
  commands. (197)
• Moses goes back up the Mtn. to tell God what the
  people said. (198)
• YHVH tells him to go down the mtn. to tell the
  people that on the third day He is going to speak
  to them and to get ready. (1910)

17

Couldnt You have invented cell
phonesFIRST?
18

• YHVH calls Moses back up to the Mtn. on the third
  day (1920).
• Then He tells him in the very next verse to go
  back down the mountain to tell the people to stay
  back (1921).
• While Moses is down there, YHVH starts to speak
  the commands of the Covenant. (Ex. 20)

19
Right After He Speaks the Ten

• Turn to Ex. 2018
• 18 Now all the people witnessed the
  thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of
  the trumpet, and the mountain smoking and when
  the people saw it, they trembled and stood afar
  off.
• 19 Then they said to Moses, "You speak with us,
  and we will hear but let not God speak with us,
  lest we die."
• 20 And Moses said to the people, "Do not fear
  for God has come to test you, and that His fear
  may be before you, so that you may not sin."
• 21 So the people stood afar off, but Moses drew
  near the thick darkness where God was. (Moses
  went back up the Mtn.)
• 22 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Thus you
  shall say to the children of Israel You have
  seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

20

• Then goes on for THREE more chapters giving the
  rest of the first part of the covenant!
• Then Moses goes back down the Mtn. again and
  tells the people everything that YHVH told him.

21
QUESTION?...

• If the people would not have stopped YHVH from
  talking, what do you think God would have
  continued to do?
• Speak the rest of the Covenant!

22
Exodus 243-8

• 3 So Moses came and told the people all the
  words of the LORD and all the judgments. And all
  the people answered with one voice and said, "All
  the words which the LORD has said we will do."
• 4 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD. And
  he rose early in the morning, and built an altar
  at the foot of the mountain, and twelve pillars
  according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
• 7 Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read
  in the hearing of the people. And they said, "All
  that the LORD has said we will do, and be
  obedient."
• 8 And Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the
  people, and said, "This is the blood of the
  covenant which the LORD has made with you
  according to all these words."

23
Sound Familiar?

• Mt 2628 "For this is My blood of the new
  covenant, which is shed for many for the
  remission of sins.

24

• Then, Moses went BACK up the Mtn. for the FIFTH
  time! (Ex. 2412)
• 2412 And the YHVH said to Moses, Come up to
  me to the mountain, and present yourself there
  and I will give you tablets of stone, and the
  laws and commandments which I have written that
  you may teach them.
• While he is up there, the Lord gives him
  instructions to make the ark of the Covenant, the
  Tabernacle, the priestly garments, etc because
  He wants to be in the midst of His people.

25
FINALLY!

• Ex. 3118 And when He had made an end of
  speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses
  two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone,
  written with the finger of God.

26
Have you ever wondered how Moses could be strong
enough to carry 2 tablets of stone?
27
Israelites are really American Christians!

• We have no patience!
• 1 Now when the people saw that Moses delayed
  coming down from the mountain, the people
  gathered together to Aaron, and said to him,
  "Come, make us gods that shall go before us for
  as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out
  of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has
  become of him.
• Read rest of chapter 32

28
One More Trip!Way to go Moses

• Ex. 341 And the LORD said to Moses, "Cut two
  tablets of stone like the first ones, and I will
  write on these tablets the words that were on the
  first tablets which you broke.
• 2 "So be ready in the morning, and come up in
  the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself
  to Me there on the top of the mountain.
• TRIP 6!
• Read rest of chapter 341-28

29
The Ten Commandments?

• Since when are the Feast
• Days part of the
• Ten Commandments?

30
Lets go back to Ex. 21

• 2112 He that smiteth a man, so that he die,
  shall be surely put to death.
• 2116 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth
  him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall
  surely be put to death.
• 2117 And he that curseth his father, or his
  mother, shall surely be put to death.
• 2220 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save
  unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly
  destroyed.
• 229 Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of
  thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors the
  firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
• 231 "You shall not circulate a false report.
  Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an
  unrighteous witness.

31

• 2312 "Six days you shall do your work, and on
  the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and
  your donkey may rest, and the son of your female
  servant and the stranger may be refreshed.
• 2313 "And in all that I have said to you, be
  circumspect and make no mention of the name of
  other gods, nor let it be heard from your mouth.
• 14 "Three times you shall keep a feast to Me in
  the year
• 15 "You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread
  (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I
  commanded you, at the time appointed in the month
  of Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt none
  shall appear before Me empty)

32

• 16 "and the Feast of Harvest, the first fruits
  of your labors which you have sown in the field
  and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the
  year, when you have gathered in the fruit of your
  labors from the field.
• 17 "Three times in the year all your males shall
  appear before the Lord GOD.
• 18 "You shall not offer the blood of My
  sacrifice with leavened bread nor shall the fat
  of My sacrifice (Passover Sacrifice) remain until
  morning.
• 19 "The first of the first fruits of your land
  you shall bring into the house of the LORD your
  God. You shall not boil a young goat in its
  mothers milk.

33
Its only the beginning

• Ex. 3427 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write
  these words, for according to the tenor
  (Hebrew-Pey) of these words I have made a
  covenant with you and with Israel."
• 28 So he was there with the LORD forty days
  and forty nights he neither ate bread nor drank
  water. And He wrote on the tablets the words of
  the covenant, the Ten Commandments.

34
His Heart on the Matter

• 1 "Now this is the commandment, and these are
  the statutes and judgments which the LORD your
  God has commanded to teach you, that you may
  observe them in the land which you are crossing
  over to possess,
• 2 "that you may fear the LORD your God, to keep
  all His statutes and His commandments which I
  command you, you and your son and your grandson,
  all the days of your life, and that your days may
  be prolonged.
• 3 "Therefore hear, O Israel, and be careful to
  observe it, that it may be well with you, and
  that you may multiply greatly as the LORD God of
  your fathers has promised youa land flowing
  with milk and honey.
• 4 "Hear, O Israel The LORD our God, the LORD
  is one!
• 5 "You shall love the LORD your God with all
  your heart, with all your soul, and with all your
  strength.
• 6 "And these words which I command you today
  shall be in your heart.
• 7 "You shall teach them diligently to your
  children, and shall talk of them when you sit in
  your house, when you walk by the way, when you
  lie down, and when you rise up.

35
But the Law was Given to the Jews only, right?

• Rom 1117 And if some of the branches were
  broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree,
  were grafted in among them, and with them became
  a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive
  tree, 18 do not boast against the branches. But
  if you do boast, remember that you do not support
  the root, but the root supports you.

One Law for ALL the BranchesEx. 1248-49

• 48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee,
  and will keep the Passover to the LORD, let all
  his males be circumcised, and then let him come
  near and keep it and he shall be as one that is
  born in the land for no uncircumcised person
  shall eat thereof.
• 49 One law shall be to him that is home born,
  and unto the stranger that sojourns among you.
