GoD's WorK - God's Puzzle Solved

230 God’s Workimposed upon Israel for sinning. This was a carnal covenant becauseIsrael was carnal (Hebrews 7:15).When Moses called all Israel together in Deuteronomy restatingof The Law, he said, “…Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgmentswhich I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learnthem, and keep, and do them” (Deuteronomy 5:1). Interestingly,Moses at this point did not say, “Israel hear The Law orTorah” but only told them to “do the statutes and judgments.”Why did Moses not include the entire Law? You will shortly seewhy The Law or Torah was not included. In fact, The Ten Commandmentswere not included. Why? Because Israel broke TheTen Commandments and God added the statutes and judgments(Deuteronomy 5:22, 29). Malachi 4:4 clearly states the statutesand judgments became part of The Law of Moses. Moses saidthis covenant was made by God with Israel in Horeb or MountSinai. However, Moses, at this point, is only referring to the statutesand the judgments. Moses said, “The Lord made not thiscovenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all ofus here alive this day” (Deuteronomy 5:3). This covenant didnot include The Abrahamic Covenant since Moses said this wasa different covenant or agreement than the one made with thefathers of old. The Abrahamic Covenant was a written part ofThe Law or Torah but was different than this Old Covenant madewith Israel, which specifically had to do with the statutes andjudgments. The basic purpose of the statutes and judgmentscovered all the legal works of The Law or Torah.

It covers the genealogy of the shadowor prophecy of The Promised Seed (Christ) in Genesis 3:15. TheAdded Laws to The Ten Commandments were the statutes andjudgments. These statutes and judgments were The Laws added
