Ten Commandment Tablets

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. (John 13:34)

A "commandment" is a very special thing within Scripture. I know that we sort of treat everything within Scripture as a commandment in view of the fact that all of God's Word must be obeyed, but in reality a commandment is a very specialized thing. A commandment is something God has specifically ascribed as a responsibility we must maintain in order to live in a covenant relationship with Him. In the Old Testament a covenant relationship not only meant keeping the core Ten Commandments initially given by the very hand of God Himself, but Jewish scholars will quickly point out that the Torah actually contains a total of 613 commandments which must all be maintained. Jesus summarized them all as loving God with all one's heart and loving one's neighbor as their self: "On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets". (Matthew 22:40) So how do we know for sure that Jesus was not merely giving us commandment number 614? Because from this point on, no one ever again quotes from the commandments of the first tablet; they only quote this new commandment as the fulfillment of the whole Law.

James is probably the earliest epistle written and distributed among the church. What does James say at the very beginning to the 1^st Century church?

If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing well. (James 2:8)

James never quotes from the first tablet (the commandments about our contractual relationship with God); he only quotes from the second tablet (the commandments about our contractual relationship with others).

Galatians is most likely the first epistle written by Paul. What did Paul have to say about this at the outset of his own ministry?

For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Galatians 5:14)

Paul never quotes from the first tablet, he only quotes from the second.

Years later at the height of his ministry Paul writes to the Romans. Has anything changed in Paul's message over time?

Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. For this, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. (Romans 13:8-10)

Paul still resists quoting from the first tablet. The fulfillment of the entire Law is found in Christ's summary of the second tablet to love others.

And at the end of the 1^st Century church when all the Apostles have gone to be with the Lord except John, the one we have come to call "the Apostle of Love" because such was the overwhelming focus of his teachings, what was the message preached by John in his own ministry and life?

By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother. For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another; (1 John 3:10-11)

And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it. (2 John 6)

NO ONE quotes from the 1^st Tablet ever again. Why? Because the proof that you are in a New Testament covenant relationship with Christ, the proof that you do indeed love God, is proven by your love for others. You cannot love God if you do not love others! You cannot fulfill the obligations of the whole covenant and claim that you love God if you fail to also love others.

I have witnessed people who in the name of their denomination or ministry have actually laid aside consideration for others because of the false notion that they have a "higher" calling to the things of God. I have known churches and leaders who have made decisions at the expense of the flock because they think they have a "higher" duty to first honor God. Biblically there is no justification for such behavior. This is exactly what Jesus chided the Pharisees for doing when they deemed it acceptable to redirect the financial support they would normally provide parents into a special gift given in the name of God to the Temple. (Mark 7:9-13) Even before Christ's New Testament summation of the Law into this new commandment God never intended that "ministry" or "church" would justify such compromises in how we treat others.

In fact, this teaching is of such paramount importance, I would offer that it is central to what the true Body of Christ is held accountable for in the shadow of the Last Days. What is important under normal circumstances becomes even more important and amplified in priority as the intensity of the birth pangs of these final hours increase in both frequency and strength. That which is crucial in the course of everyday life becomes multiplied in importance in times of testing and trial. Consider carefully how Jesus ends the Olivet Discourse where He tells His followers what they are to do when they see all things prophetic coming to fulfillment:

"But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.

"Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 'For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.'

"Then the righteous will answer Him, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.'

"Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.'

"Then they themselves also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?' Then He will answer them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.'

"These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." (Matthew 25:31-46)

Look at the criteria Jesus uses for separating the sheep from the goats: it all comes from the 2^nd tablet! There is nothing here referring to anything from the 1^st tablet!

In other words, Jesus does not say, "You goats violated the 1^st commandment when you worshiped another god so you're out, but you sheep worshiped the One True God so you're in".

Jesus does not say, "You goats violated the 2^nd commandment when you worshiped graven images so you're out, but you sheep did not so you're in".

Jesus does not say, "You goats violated the 3^rd commandment when you took God's name in vain so you're out, but you sheep never did that so you're in".

In fact, much to the chagrin of my Seventh-day Adventist friends, Jesus does not even say, "You goats violated the 4^th commandment when you did not keep the Sabbath so you're out, but you sheep kept the Sabbath so you're in".

What is most important in the course of everyday Christianity becomes even more important in the Last Days. They are separated based not on keeping the 1^st Tablet, but the 2^nd Tablet by the quality of their love for others.

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. (John 13:34)

What exactly is a Christian supposed to do when they realize that the whole of biblical prophecy is coming true around them? The answer is to return with even greater fervor and zeal to the things which set them apart most from the world in the first place. I think this is precisely why Jesus went out of His way to state that one of the defining characteristics of the Last Days is a loss of love.

"Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. (Matthew 24:12-13)

I think if Bible prophecy conferences were truly successful at empowering and inspiring Christians to undertake what is most important in these final hours that they would actually be called "love" conferences. Christians would see that their efforts to personally address the needs of others is actually the substance of God's End Times economy. Instead of titillating the brain we would return to the core contributions of a faithful and loving heart with an even greater fervor than previously recorded. We would not be able to pass on any opportunity to exhibit the love of Christ at a time when it is needed even more than ever.

MORIEL MINISTRIES - By Danny Isom - March 17, 2010

"For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil. Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment." (Hebrews 5:12-6:2)

While recently studying Hebrews this particular passage was in no small way deeply disturbing. The writer of Hebrews provides a specific list described as "elementary principles" and "elementary teaching" for which he admonishes Christians, telling them they are falling far short of the "solid food" needed to attain spiritual maturity in Christ. This list disturbs me because so many Christians' exposure to God's Word has been so greatly minimized today that I would be elated if they actually knew these basics.

There are six things specifically identified as "elementary teaching":

1.       "...repentance from dead works..." This refers to the old way of only adhering to the Old Testament Law. This was the message of John the Baptist, to repent of going through the motions of being religious and to become truly changed from the heart, to repent in order to accept the "live" works, so to speak, to come to the Messiah.
space

2.       "...faith towards God..." This is the distinction of having a relationship with God based not on keeping the Old Testament Law, but upon a faithful relationship with Him through Christ. [Note: "Faith" and "faithfulness" are interchangeable words in both the Greek and Hebrew.]
space

3.       "...instruction about washings..." Although some translations use "baptism", "washings" is the better term as the Greek word for baptism is not actually used here. The plural form of the word is also inconsistent with the concept of singular baptism, as we are baptized but once. Therefore it refers to the act of regeneration which is performed by the Holy Spirit when one receives Christ and stands in contrast to the Old Testament's myriad cleansing requirements and rituals which were a shadow teaching of the work of the Holy Spirit. "He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit." (Titus 3:5)
space

4.       "...laying on of hands..." Most likely this refers to the laying on of hands to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit, probably an "elementary" teaching following the point of salvation as evidenced in the Early Church (e.g., Acts 8:17-18; 9:17). The gift provided generally identifies a calling to perform greater works/deeds on behalf of the Kingdom of God.
space

5.       "...the resurrection of the dead..." Another teaching that would logically follow closely to the early stages of a Believer's salvation experience referring to the hope of the resurrection of Believers as a result of Christ's resurrection.
space

6.       "...eternal judgment..." That Jesus will return to judge the nations and the unrighteous.

Just honestly take the time to score yourself, your local church, and the Christians you know best as to the quality and depth of knowledge each one has when it comes to this laundry list of "elementary" teachings:

1.       Repentance of sin/the old life.

2.       Walking in faith/faithfulness towards God.

3.       Walking according to the Spirit.

4.       Receiving the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

5.       The hope (future fact) of our resurrection in Christ.

6.       Final judgment.

I am not trying to be elitist or overstate my own understanding of God's Word and ways, but highlighting the fact that so many are improperly fed in many Western churches. If you or your local church are not thoroughly versed in these basics of Christianity, what exactly has been the focus and priority? If we do not know the basics, why would we even suppose to have a grasp on the deeper things of Christ?

And then while reading the book of Romans, I was struck with the number of times Paul asks rhetorical questions using some form of "Do you not know?" Whereas many a seminary treats Romans as the centerpiece to developing and teaching what they term "Pauline Theology", the proper context is that this, too, is not the most advanced of all teachings but something he expects every Christian to have a basic and thorough understanding of. This epistle, which goes into so much detail of the working of Christ's righteousness in the forms of salvation, justification, and sanctification is, in Paul's estimation, simply the basics. If someone does not have a handle on items 1 through 6 listed above, what are the odds they are even close to digesting the "basics" presented in Romans?

Perhaps there is no better testimony to the degraded state of the average Christian's grasp of God's Word than a trip to the local Christian bookstore. 20 or 30 years ago such stores were filled with tomes written by Spirit-filled teachers exegeting Scripture and not just teaching the basics, but moving us into more advanced areas. Today, however, such have been replaced by the voluminous sections "Christians Fiction" and "Christian Living" which only seem to vaguely reference Scripture, if at all.

See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. (Colossians 2:8)

It would seem that many have been taken "captive...according to the elementary principles of the world rather than according to Christ", much less achieved anything further advanced beyond the basics. This is what happens when pulpits and small groups move away from the Bible to books and programs rooted in the world's principles.

It is with a very heavy heart that I acknowledge that this is most likely one of the strongest indications to date of the imminent return of Christ, because a great falling away is predicted as one of the most prominent signs of His return. If Christians do not understand what God's Word says about the basics of sin and salvation, how will they possibly understand the prophetic things of Scripture? If they cannot articulate the nuts and bolts of faith in Christ, how can they possibly navigate the End Times deception come upon us?

There is probably no greater concern for which we can pray on behalf of the church at large and our fellow Christians personally than a return to His Word, a hunger for the basics giving way to the deeper things of Christ. In all honesty, there are times I wish that instead of holding "prophecy" or "discernment" conferences that we could generate the same kind of interest in seminars on the "elementary principles". I think far more Believers would be in a better position to achieve the proper understanding of prophecy and discernment.

In His Love,

MORIEL MINISTRIES - By James Jacob Prasch

God Ceases Communicating with Saul

I Samuel 28:6:

"And when Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by the prophets."

We are not certain what Urim and Thummim were, but we do know they were two kinds of stones in an ephod case on the high priest's chest. Urim has to do with the Hebrew word for lights; this is how they discerned God's leading and direction in some circumstances in Old Testament Israel.

We see in 1 Samuel 28:6 that God stopped giving light to King Saul; He stopped hearing King Saul. Saul's leadership was at this point totally backslidden, and had become treacherous. When leadership backslides, something else happens: God stops speaking to that leader or those leaders. God would not speak to Saul by prophets - perhaps God would send him false prophets, but no longer any true prophet, such as Samuel. One of the things that take place in this kind of situation is that God removes prophetic voices.

We don't think of it this way, but God does: The death of Samuel was not bad for Samuel. Samuel didn't want his sleep disturbed as we see in 1 Samuel 28:15. However, Samuel's death was bad for Saul.

"When a righteous man perishes, no one takes it to heart" (Isaiah 57:1)

That is a judgment of God. When God removes true prophetic voices, that is one of the final phases of His judgment. I personally believe that the untimely death of our friend Larry Thomas was God's judgment on the Assemblies of God; I don't believe God ever intends to give another warning to the Assemblies of God in America. I believe He will simply let them go their way into apostasy and decline, which in fact they already have begun to do.

What happens when God stops speaking to backslidden leaders? When we look at verses 11 through 16 of 1 Samuel 28, we see what Saul did:

"Then the woman said, 'Whom shall I bring up for you?' And he said, 'Bring up Samuel for me.' When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice. And the woman spoke to Saul, saying, 'Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!' And the king said to her, 'Do not be afraid. What do you see?' And the woman said to Saul, 'I saw a spirit (divine being) ascending out of the earth.' So he said to her, 'What is his form?' And she said, 'An old man is coming up, and he is covered with a mantle.' And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground and bowed down. Now Samuel said to Saul, 'Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?' And Saul answered, 'I am deeply distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me and does not answer me anymore, neither by prophets nor by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may reveal to me what I should do.' Then Samuel said: 'So why do you ask me, seeing the Lord has departed from you and has become your enemy?'" ...

MORIEL MINISTRIES - By Salvador Ung Hayworth - April 2010

This month's newsletter is being written from the UK as we wrote in our last newsletter we are away from KwaZulu Natal for 3 more weeks. Before leaving Salvi finished evangelising three different areas in Eastmine, Alphamine and Ngenitsheni. One visit he ended up at the local chief's home however the chief was out so he spoke to the men there. In Alphamine Salvi started to preach in a new area. A young man called Lancelot has shown interest in starting a bible study in the area so once we return from the UK we will follow this up. Di continued to help out with Kid's club and sorted out what was needed for our trip overseas. We continue to work with the family of Fikile, who died of AIDS a few months back, the process of getting the kids tested for HIV proved to throw up one obstacle after another. When we initially took them there weren't enough nurses to deal with everybody so we were told to come back. The second time we tried the nurses said that the Gogo had to come with an affidavit saying that she was the legal guardian of the children and gave permission for the kids to be tested. We tried to take them again but the Gogo was too busy so we will try again when we get back to SA. The Louwsburg Bible Fellowship is going well. Little foxes started to creep in but the Lord has caused a number of us to humble ourselves before Him. We ended with a great time of fellowship before we went to Springs, including the celebration of a Passover meal and we left them with a diet of Jacob Prasch and Bill Randles for the weeks we are away. The Gospel bible study at the KwaNyandeni Kraal will continue when we get back to KwaZulu but we will see if their interest wanes when we get back.

In Springs, Salvi managed to do a draft of his Hebrew assignment which was submitted to a tutor for evaluation. He will complete the assignment when we are back in Springs and that will be the last module of his certificate level. The Lord blessed us with an opportunity to fellowship with believers in Pretoria and in South side of Johannesburg. Salvi preached the message that he had prepared for the UK, on Saturday night for a bible study in Pretoria. The group had some people attending it who are part of a word of faith church. We had the privilege of talking through the issues of that teaching with them. On the Sunday Salvi preached at Truth Ministries, Johannesburg. Salvi normally leads worship when he visits that church this time however the Lord opened the way for Salvi to share the message that was on his heart for the UK trip. Apparently while Pastor Wayne was preparing his message he felt the Lord telling him, 'You are not going to be preaching this week.' Meanwhile Salvi was praying that if the Lord wanted him to share that He would bring it about. So when Salvi was asked if he would like to share the way was clearly opened. After Salvi preached that Sunday we found out that Wayne had been preaching the same message for the last 5 weeks. The Lord is good. But this was part of the Lord's confirmation for the UK.

We have visited 3 churches up to now in the UK. The people of a couple of the churches shared that it was a word in season. Two of the churches also asked us also to share about our life and work in South Africa. Di will be giving a children's talk at the next church we visit. It has been a strange experience being in the UK, especially with visiting Manchester. From quiet mud hut to busy metropolis is quite a difference. But we can see the materialism and how easy it is for people to fill their lives with stuff that eternal issues are put on the sidelines. It is just like the parable of the sower. Some seed is sown among thorns, where the cares of this world, deceitfulness of riches and the desires for other things choke the seed and make it unfruitful. Scripture portrays all three disciples falling asleep in the garden of Gethsemane and all of the virgins falling asleep before the bridegroom came. Not one of us can say we are exempt from the warning to watch and pray. Now is the time to get oil in our lamps.

On a side note, it has been good for Di to meet Salvi's family for the first time and for Salvi to catch up with them. It is the first time for either of us to meet our nephew, Joshua. Salvi's grandmother's husband has been in hospital. We have been able to visit him a couple of times and Salvi wrote him a letter explaining the gospel to him. We pray that the message may speak to him and that he might ask us questions the next time we visit him. Di has really enjoyed travelling around the UK and seeing the beautiful countryside. The fellowship with believers in Bournemouth, Cornwall, Swansea and in Southport has been encouraging, challenging and lovely. It has been wonderful meeting the people who having been praying for us and the work. The fellowship has been very encouraging and we thank the Lord for the family of God and seeing the body at work. We are in the UK for another 3 weeks travelling in weekends to churches were Salvi has been invited and will return to South Africa early May.

Please could you pray for Salvi's health. Salvi has to see the dentist at various times in order to have root canal treatment done on a couple of teeth. Obviously this can be inconvenient when we are travelling around a lot, but the Lord is good and has provided for us to meet this need.

Thanks again for all your prayers and support

May the Lord Bless you

Salvi and Di

The Throne Room and the Tabernacle

Revelation Chapter 4

The prelude to the seal judgments starts in the throne room of God in heaven. There are certain similarities between it and the tabernacle that was built under Moses. Hebrews specifically teaches that the Mosaic tabernacle was not the reality in itself. It was based on the pattern that Moses saw on Mount Sinai. In this is a great truth. The things that God does in the temporal carry with them the significance of eternity. The tabernacle was real, and its elements all carried a temporal weight all of their own. Yet the tabernacle was not THE reality in itself. It was a copy of something that God showed Moses on the mountain. There is a greater tabernacle which has not been pitched by human hands. It is something so big and great. So what has this to do with the throne room of God? Read Psalm 11: 4. The LORD is in His holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven. In Isaiah 6: 1 - 5, Isaiah sees a vision of God on the throne, with Seraphim above Him and the train of the robe filling the temple. Again Hebrews 12: 18 - 24 shows us that we have come to the heavenly Jerusalem. There is a link between the throne room in Revelation and the tabernacle. What is the tabernacle? It is the place where God's presence is manifest and where He communes with His people. In the garden, Adam and Eve had perfect communion with God but something happened... sin. And there came a separation between man and God. What is the tabernacle but a way of bridging that gap before Christ came to deal with the sin problem? The tabernacle is a foreshadow of the Gospel message. But the throne room? That contains something different. Psalm 9: 4 speaks of the throne in terms of judgment.

Revelation 4: 1 - 11.

John in this chapter has just finished hearing what Jesus has had to say to the churches and some of the churches were in a real mess. They had problems with a loss of their first love for the Lord, tolerating a false prophetess, putting up with the heresies of the Nicolaitians and enduring persecution. But now John has left all this when he saw a door open in heaven and he went through in the Spirit. As soon as he is in heaven, there is no mention of the problems of the church. It is like all that stuff is forgotten. Doors in various places in the Bible speak about salvation. There is the door in Noah's ark, Jesus said that he was the door for the sheep. In Exodus the blood on the lintels of the doorway brought salvation to those inside. This one is a door into heaven itself and there is one door, just like Jesus said, 'I am the way, the truth and the life' no man comes to the father but by me!' It does not matter what we go through in this life; the tears, the pain, the suffering, and the joys. These things will be wiped away because they belong to the first things and the first things pass away. No! John's focus turns to something else. And what is it? It is the throne of God, and the One who is sat on the throne. There is so much to see there but his eyes are drawn to God Himself and His throne. He is primary to everything. It is a terrifying place because there are flashes of lightning and thunder sounds, just like there were at Mount Sinai. It is a powerful sight, it is a holy sight. There is a rainbow about the throne. There are twenty four elders on thrones who have white garments and crowns on their heads. There are four living beings that are around the throne. There is a sea of glass. It is awesome, but John's attention, first and foremost, is on the LORD. ...

Moriel Q & A

Question: The Firstborn Donkey

March 3, 2010

A reader submitted the following question:

Dear Jacob,

Can you explain why the firstborn donkey should be redeemed with a lamb, or its neck broken?

"But every first offspring of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, then you shall break its neck; and every firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem. (Exodus 13:13)

Jacob Replies:

As we know, the lamb is a picture of Christ. The firstborn of each kept species belonged to the Lord according to the Torah but would not have to die if redeemed. For humans it was 1/2 shekel of silver (as Christ was betrayed/sold for silver) as the price of redemption prefiguring the salvation by Christ who was sold for silver. Other animals were figures of people. A donkey ("hamor" in Hebrew) in biblical typology is a picture of stubborn thickheaded people (God calls the stubborn "stiff necked"). It either gets redeemed by the lamb or its neck is broken and killed. So stubborn people either get saved by Jesus or their stubbornness damns them.

There is more to it than this but I really hate trying to explain typologies and complex subjects by email. This is the short "nutshell" version.

In Jesus,

Jacob
