5th Law And Prophecy

The 5^th Law and Prophecy

By The Law Is The Knowledge Of Sin

I wish you and your family the Lord’s blessing. If you are new to The Ten Commandments, I hope these posts will be a good introduction to you. God’s Law is important to you because by the Law is the knowledge of sin.

Honor Your Father And Mother

The Fifth Commandment:

Exodus 20:12 (12) V. “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.”

A Promise From The Lord

Right off you will notice a Promise from God as part of this Commandment: “…that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.” This is the only mention of a reward if you obey any of the Ten Commandments – it must be very important to our Father in Heaven!

Simple Unambiguous Statement

The thing that always strikes me is that there are no qualifiers attached to this Law; no ‘if’ statements (if you think your parents are good or bad parents, if you think they treated you well or badly). The Lord just simply states: “Honor your father and your mother.” A simple, unambiguous statement.

Love Your Parents

At first glance, it might seem the Lord is ignoring the abuse and trauma some children (too many children) experience at the hands of their parents, but His message is very consistent throughout Scripture. He expects us to love all of God’s people, whether deserved or not.

Obey God

I pray you will determine to obey the Lord our God’s Commandments! If you do and commit yourself to our Savior, Jesus Christ, you will be Blessed!

Prophecy Is Powerful

Prophecy is very powerful. To predict something hundreds of years prior to it taking place serves to validate God’s Word and His Son, Jesus Christ!

Micah 5:2

Micah 5:2 – The Messiah would be born in Bethlehem.

“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me The One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth are from of old, From everlasting.”

Luke 2:4-7

a. Luke 2:4-7 – “Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brough forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.”

b. Approximate date of Prophecy: “740-710 years B. C.”

Micah’s Prophecy Ignored

Even in Jesus’ day there was an ‘Establishment,’ a ‘Swamp,’ if you will; even with Micah’s prophecy, there were no priests who went to worship the baby Jesus when He was born in Bethlehem – after they had told the Wise Men it was Bethlehem they were looking for.

Jesus Is Lord And Savior

My entire purpose with these posts is to introduce people to Jesus. If the Holy Spirit has moved in your heart and you are ready to surrender your life to Jesus Christ, you can use this Prayer:

Prayer Of Salvation

Dear Lord Jesus,

I know that I am a sinner.

I have not been living within Your plan and purpose for my life and I ask You to forgive me for this.

I believe that You died for me and  paid the penalty for my sin.

I want to turn from my sin and now invite You to come into my heart and life.

Help me to trust and follow You as Lord and Savior.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
