The Twelve Commandments
CHAPTER 36
Lazarus returns to Egypt to do
some more trading and announces his
engagement; he wishes for Yochanan, Yeshua, Miriam and
their children to return with him. However Yeshua says that he and
Miriam must remain in Egypt but Yochanan returns with Lazarus. -Yeshua
journeys frequently into the hills of the
eastern desert south of Memphis to commune with God,
and
great revelations and understandings
does he receive. It is on one such
journey that he receives the Twelve Commandments of Sinai.
1
Yochanan decided to remain in
Memphis with Yeshua and Miriam until God called
him elsewhere. And Yeshua taught Yochanan some more of
carpentry and they created many fine things of wood which were
sold to the Egyptians.
2
Shortly after their arrival, they paid for a message to be
carried in a caravan to Jerusalem that Miriam’s family might
know of their whereabouts; and it came to pass that ten moons
after they had come to
Memphis,
Lazarus arrived at their home having traveled with a caravan.
And he had twelve camels of trade goods and several servants
with him.
3
Then for two days they had a feast to celebrate the arrival of
Lazarus and to hear the news of Bethany, not the least of which
was Lazarus’s announcement of his betrothal to Hannah, the
daughter of Mordecai. And Miriam chided her younger brother in
a playful way for having waited so long to marry.
4
And Lazarus remained with them in
Memphis
for one moon and had very successful trading while there.
5
At the beginning of the new moon he told them that he must
return again to Bethany and asked them to return with him; for
Miriam’s mother longed for her, and her sister Martha also
missed her greatly, and he wished for Yeshua and Yochanan to be
at his wedding, which would take place as soon as he returned.
6
Yochanan felt moved by Elohim and agreed to return with Lazarus to
Palestine, for he also desired a wife from among the tribe of Judah
before he became an old man, and for that cause he wished to
call upon Martha, the sister of Miriam, and to see again his
friends in the community of Gimron.
7
But Yeshua and Miriam remained in
Memphis
and Yeshua said, “Our hearts and blessings go with you, but we
must remain here for some seasons; for there is much still to
learn and there are those who hunger for truth and light and we
are the torchbearers.”
8
And it came to pass that Lazarus and Yochanan departed from
Memphis and Yeshua and Miriam and the children remained for the
greater purposes of God.
9
And Yeshua journeyed frequently into the wilderness in the hills
of the eastern desert south of Memphis to commune with God.
Before he had returned to Judea, Yochanan sometimes accompanied
him, and other times Miriam went with him, but more often he was
alone.
10 On some journeys he would travel to the top of a mountain
overlooking the sea; and seeing the world expanding beyond the
horizon in every direction made him more easily feel one in
spirit with all creation.
11 And great revelations and understandings were received from
God in the vastness of the wilderness, away from the clutter of
people and the creations of man.
12 It was here, atop a mountain of the desert sea, that Yeshua
asked the Father if he would give again to the children of men
the Twelve Commandments, which he had given unto Moses, but
which Moses had destroyed because of the weakness of men.
13 And Yeshua said unto the Father, “I know these are sacred
laws, which only the righteous can live and receive the
blessings thereof; and for lack of righteousness among the
people they have been held in Heaven.
14 But in this time, have come with me, some of the choicest
spirits of Heaven to dwell upon the Earth and help bring forth
the light of truth; and I would that they might have the higher
laws and receive the higher blessings of Heaven from obedience
to the laws.”
15 And the Father spoke unto Yeshua and said, “My beloved son,
you know that whatsoever you desire, I will do for you.
Therefore, you may give unto the choice Children of Light who
are your friends and family, the higher laws of Heaven. But let
them keep them unto themselves that they may prove capable to
live the greater laws and receive the greater blessings.
16 And if they prove worthy of this blessing, then the Twelve
Commandments shall abide because of them through the time of
spiritual gestation in the world, to be revealed again in the
latter days unto the royal generation, which I have saved to
come forth upon the world throughout its time of greatest need.
17 So it shall be that when the Children of Light of the royal
generation read the words of the Twelve Commandments, the
greatness of the higher laws shall resonate in their hearts, and
the Holy Spirit will stir their souls, and they will know that
it is they who have been called to come forth to the wonder of
the world in the last days of the epoch; that the world will see
the brilliant light of the Elohim made manifest and know that
the light of the Almighty is among them.”
18 And Yeshua inscribed the words of the Twelve Commandments upon a
scroll that his family and those who would be his Apostles might
read them.
19 And he cherished the promise of the Father that though the
Twelve Commandments would be lost to the world, they would come
forth again when the Children of Light of the royal
generation of the last epoch were upon the Earth.
20 Behold, now is the day that the pure light of Elohim shines
forth. Therefore, unto the chosen, those whose spirit doth
persuade them to live the higher laws of God, herein are the
Twelve Commandments of Elohim, given that the Children of Light
might have fruitful and expansive relationships with God, with
themselves, and with their brothers and sisters of light upon
the world.
21 And God spoke all these words, saying, we are Elohim, the
Father, the Mother and the Son, the Lord God Almighty; and by
the power of our word, all that exists has been manifested.
22 Unto all who will receive it, we call you out of the world of
darkness, and give unto you a marvelous light.
23 And they who keep these commandments shall be blessed upon
the Earth and know God in the Heavens.
24-1 Thank Elohim for all of your blessings,
from the depths of your heart; and with purity of purpose ask for your righteous needs, with humility
and integrity, and they shall be manifested
unto you within the purposes of God.
25-2 You shall neither worship, nor pray to, nor
venerate, false gods or graven images, or men or governments or
kings, or spirits or angels, or anything that is, except Elohim.
26-3 You shall not curse or swear at all, or use the name
of Elohim in vain, in any form; but cultivate a sweet
disposition, wherein a curse is alien to your soul.
27-4 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days
you may labor, and do all of your work; but the seventh day is
the day of Elohim. On that day you shall not work, but gather
together with the Children of Light that you might edify and
uplift one another, and renew your covenants, and share
knowledge of Elohim and of the paths of light. And let this
also be a day for the family to come together and commune with
one another with full attention; to increase their bonds of
fellowship and love. And let this also be a day to visit the
mountains and the sea and desert and the forests and all the
wonders Elohim has created for you; that you might reflect upon
your journey, strengthen your family and draw closer to Heaven.
And let this be a day of study and of prayer, of reflection and
repentance, of covenants and recommitment, and of all wholesome
things of rest and renewal which uplift you and bring you
closer to God and to your family.
28-5 You are a temple of God. Do not defile your temple
inside or outside, but keep yourself clean and pure that the
light of Elohim may illuminate you.
29-6 You are an emissary of Elohim; strive to always be a
worthy representative of the divine that others will see your
good light and glorify God. Be humble in heart and rich in
spirit. Do good deeds and be a peacemaker. Despise hypocrisy
and a double tongue. Do not exalt yourself but give praise to
others. Find the blessings in the trials that come upon you.
Be slow to anger and quick to forgive. Be not joined with the
haughty or arrogant, but befriend the righteous and the lowly.
Judge not others and be tempered and balanced in your thoughts
and actions. Do not raise your voice in unrighteous anger or
instigate violence of word or deed. In all things, do unto
others as you would have them do unto you.
30-7 You shall not covet, or be avaricious, or steal, or
be dishonest, or take any unfair advantage of others; nor gather
unto you wealth in the world beyond your needs. Give your excess
for the building up of the
Kingdom
of God, and store up for yourself treasures in Heaven, not on
earth.
31-8 You shall not commit fornication, or adultery, or in
any way be a corrupter of youth.
32-9 Love your neighbors, and your brothers and sisters
of light, even in all of their faults, even as Elohim loves you
despite your sins. Do generous and thoughtful things for them
as you would have them do for you. Do not bear false witness
against them, or slander them, or gossip about them with
others. If you have a grievance, go and speak in peace and
kindness with them, not anger.
33-10 Honor your father and your mother as they have
honored you with their time and sacrifice and nurturing. Love
them all of their days, and when they are old, care for them as
they have cared for you.
34-11 You shall not maim or murder; wherein, you shall
not grievously injure or take the life of anyone, save it be in
defense of mortal attack upon you or your family, or your home.
Nor shall you kill to eat as food any animal, or bird, or
creature of the sea that is of warm blood or nurtures its young,
save it be in times of famine or pestilence, when food is not
found in the garden and the storeroom is empty. Nor shall you
join yourself to armies that bring war to other lands, but only
to defend against a destroyer upon your land, and then only
after every way of honorable peace has failed. And if it be
that you must take a life for any of these causes, you shall
make your heart right again with God with fasting and prayer,
and have a spirit of love and peace before you enter again into
the house of the Lord.
35-12 Be a good and faithful steward of the Earth and
with all of the creatures thereof. This beautiful world Elohim
has given unto you that you might find all you have need of.
Take the precious gift you have been given, protect it, magnify
it, and pass on a greater gift to your posterity.
