Exodus 24:
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...
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.

Central to establishing a codified law at this point was the word
mishpat-judgments, from shaphat-to judge.

Exodus 21:1. Now these are the judgments which you shall set before them.

These include the rulings made by Moses to settle disputes.
Exodus 18:26. So they judged the people at all times; the hard cases they brought
to Moses, but they judged every small case themselves.

YHWH’s first intentions.
Exodus 19:5. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant,
then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.

Exodus 20:19. Then they said to Moses, You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not
God speak with us, lest we die.

Lesson of the Torah:
When you abide in the Holy Spirit and learn to hear and obey The Voice of The Spirit,
you will not sin, because His Seed abides in you.

1 John 3:9. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed abides in him;
and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

When you refuse to grow in this relationship, and instead continue to rely on the teachings
of another person, you abide under the Mishpat, not The Voice.

Malachi 4:4. Remember the Law of Moses, My servant,
Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel,
With the statutes and judgments.

Deuteronomy 29:1. The words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which He made with them in Horeb.

Two Covenants with the Children of Israel after HE rescued them from Egypt.

9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.

10 Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,

11 Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:

12 That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day:

13 That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;

15 But with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:

Is this not the Same Christ who became Flesh and Blood? There is neither Jew or Gentile in this Christ. Yes?

17 And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)

18 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;

19 And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:

Can you imagine how Caleb or Paul would react if they were placed in the world today? Just honestly speaking, would they not see graven images of God in the Likeness of some handsome long haired male model in every town, most every home, along most every highway? Would they see the complete abolition of the Christ's Feasts and Sabbaths, replaced by ancient pagan high days that some religious man placed the Christ's Name on? Would they not see great temples of wood and stone where men and women gather together to observe and practice religious doctrines and traditions of men, all in the Name of Jesus, completely oblivious to HIS Own Judgment of such behavior written for our admonition?

Would they not see the curses God warned of so many times?


Duet 29:21 And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:

22 So that the generation to come of your children (Jews) that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, (Gentile) shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;

23 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:

24 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?

25 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt: (SIN)

Shall we, that is Jew and Gentile who have "turned to God" (of the Bible), not consider such things when we "SEE" the Plagues God warns about so often?

Surely controversial thinking no doubt, and unpopular as well. Given we have been told since our youth, and "many" convinced, that we shall have peace in spite of partaking in such behavior. Shall we not speak about such things and consider?

Mal. 3:13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?

14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?

15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.

16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

It is good, in my view, to have such conversations among men.

Colossians 3:5. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
