I have noticed that there is confusion in the order of the Ten Commandments. The tenth commandment. Exodus 20: 17. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. It is one commandment. There are religions (also here) who express that they are the ninth and tenth commandments. In Genesis 3: 16. It states, "and thy desire shall be to thy husband and he shall rule over thee." Some men think they can do whatever they please with their wives, even sell them into prostitution for financial gain. Some women even use their beauty and charm to seduce other men, blackmailing their own husbands for better treatment, which has deteriorated because of sin. They have become like objects, something to use in the eyes of the sinner. The Lord knew the extent of desiring to sin and considered it as one commandment, coveting whatever; sounded natural for possessive men to understand. It is only later that women found it offensive to be looked upon as their husband's belongings; but they failed to understand the sin is the desire for anything sinful. We should rather covet the Lord's good things, His will. The sin of adultery and fornication is in Moses' seventh commandment. The desire for your neighbour's husband or wife is a sin in itself. Divorce will not make it right; for they are already committed until death them do part. The sin to covet is a desire before the adultery happens. If the adultery happens, they have committed two sins, not one. This is why Jesus says in Matthew 5: 28. But I say to you, That whoever looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. This sin of the heart is the sin to covet anything that belongs to others. There is nothing wrong in also desiring to have, for example, a Rolex watch that your neighbour might have; but the desire that they loose it so that you may attain it, is were coveting becomes sin. On the other hand, the desire to only be satisfied in having more than your neighbours, is also a sin of coveting. A spouse of another can not be shared as an object can be shared by also purchasing it. This is why it is so dangerous to desire a neighbour's spouse. It is comforting to know that the Lord provides, as they say, "there are plenty fish in the sea." If we live and marry with the right intentions and not for the sex, then those desires will not rule over us.
Another reason why the tenth commandment was incorrectly split into two; is due to the combining of the first two commandments, expressing them as one commandment.
Exodus 20: 2. I am the LORD thy God, who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Exodus 20: 3. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Exodus 20: 4. Thou shalt not make to thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Exodus 20: 5. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Exodus 20: 6. And showing mercy to thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
This was done so the total can be ten, making the last commandment in Exodus 20: 17, two commandments, which is in fact one commandment, not to desire your neighbour's belongings. If you read that verse, it inserts thy neighbour's wife in between the house and the manservant. The above verse reveals it is a sin of wrong desires of the heart.
Therefore, if the last commandment is one commandment the first commandment has to be two commandments, so that the other eight commandments can make a total of ten.
First, God states His Dominance by proclaiming that He saved us from slavery. In the previous chapters, I have explained that God is an idea of the people; or an association of the same thought of belief in the commandments, forming a democracy of imperial Truth. Consequently, any other belief would be detrimental to ones well being. It is like saying, "stop killing yourselves," as the first commandment. God says," I am the Lord your God." It is an invitation to get us out of hell. God is saying, "Here I am come and follow Me only." John 14: 6. I am the way the Truth and the life no one comes to the Father except through Me." Philippians 2: 2-5. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God. To follow Christ means to receive Him, how? John 6: 53. Then Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. This can only happen after Reconciliation. 1st Corinthians 11: 27-29. Wherefore, whoever shall eat this bread and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh condemnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. To Reconcile, one has to first confess the sins towards one's fellow. We should eat spiritually nothing else, no other God. We must fast from all other gods, purging ourselves so the True God can fill us with Truth, never again to feel the hunger pains for sin. Can a lion hunger for straw? Neither can a True Christian hunger for sin.
The second is Exodus 20: 4-6. If you are to follow God, don't turn back by making any object including the single self as an idol of worship, glorifying it or oneself, there are thousands and thousands to give credit too. God represents an association of people as explained in the New Jerusalem. In other words, share what you have by charitably making things right. When equality has been reached, one will not have to surrender ones goods; everything will already be equally distributed. Acts 2: 44. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. Acts 20: 34. And ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered to my necessities and to them that were with me. Acts 20: 35. I have shown you all things, that so labouring ye ought to support the weak and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." 2nd Corinthians 8: 13-15. For I mean not that other men should be eased and you burdened but by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want that there may be equality. As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over and he that had gathered little had no want. Exodus 16: 18. And when they measured it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating. It is not easy to surrender while the devil rules. We must give in an orderly manor so as not to give to much power to Caesar but to God, for all Good and Truthful things belong to God. 2nd Corinthians 11: 12-15. But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them who desire occasion; that in what they glory, they may be found even as we. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. Moreover, no wonder for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also are transformed as the ministers of righteousness whose end shall be according to their works.
The True God is jealous because It is tenaciously watchful and intolerant to disloyalty to that which is untruth, rightfully so in preventing perversion, which is the sight of blood spilt for the glory of idols. Blood represents action or deeds, so don’t waist your time on turning back from Truth. Something can not be right and wrong at the same space and time. We are living in the third generation spiritually. The first is The Twelve Tribes of Israel, they are our spiritual Mothers, spiritually represented by the Virgin Mary (virgin because She is faithful only to God). The second is Her spiritual Child Jesus Christ, represented by His Bride the Hundred and Forty Four Thousand. The third and fourth are the generations to come from the Brides of Jesus and Their Children, by the living confirmation of the Truth. So, how are we shown mercy from killing ourselves? The commandments will purify our hearts and minds, so we can learn how to live forever in the Ark of God.
The third is Exodus 20: 7. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless, that taketh his name in vain. Don't use this shared glory to further ones own selfish vain ideals; consequently breaking the democratic process and by so doing creating a single king like dominance, an imbalance between rich and poor. Don't be a traitor or a spy, be wholehearted or not at all. Jesus says that we are either for or against Him, there are no maybes. We should not mix good with evil, robbing the Lord's temple's ideas and structures to enhance another's evil temple of vain glory; as satan likes to do to confuse the Lord's Children.
The fourth is Exodus 20: 8. Remember the Sabbath-day to keep it holy. Due to the fact that this New Jerusalem is still in the process of being understood, it is wise to at least put one day aside to think about how humanity can reach this goal, making this world and universe a perfect place to live in to eternity. If we do not observe the Sabbath we will die in our own vanity, it is in unity that there is strength. One Truthful mind is better than all untruthful minds; but how will that Truthful mind know if it is in fact True against all the others, unless it has CONFIRMATION. How much more will its strength be, if it is in the majority. We must come to understand that every day should be the Sabbath. If we work in love and honesty, our fellow will not think that we are doing too little for the cause; our labours will become a joy and not enslavement. Exodus 20: 9. Six days shalt thou labour and do all thy work: Exodus 20: 10. But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: Exodus 20: 11. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them and rested the seventh day, wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath-day and hallowed it. We are still in the infinite process in becoming God through good works; that is why the Lord also rested on the seventh day. The more we perfect our work the less our labours will burden us, due to its perfection. Eventually our perfect work will not burden us at all. Then every day will feel like we are at rest and not in labour, every day will be the Sabbath. Isaiah 66: 23. "And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me," saith the LORD. Revelation 7: 15. Therefore they are before the throne of God, serving him day and night in his temple and he that sitteth on the throne will dwell among them.
Follow only Me. (The great, I AM.) (Exodus 20: 2-3).
Do not turn back. (Exodus 20: 4-6).
Do not use Me (what you have learned) for your own vanity. (All God's creation belongs to God.) (Exodus 20: 7).
Do not forget Me. (Exodus 20: 8).
2nd John 1: 6. And this is love; that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, that as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
The other six commandments are explained in Revealing of Revelation and Sacred Tree of God. A summary of the Commandments.
2nd Timothy 3: 1. This know also, that in the last days perilous times will come. For men will be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy. Without natural affection, truce-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despises of those that are good. Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God. Having a form of godliness but denying its power: from such turn away. For of this sort are they who creep into houses and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts; ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Luke 6: 16. And Judas the brother of James; and Judas Iscariot who also was the traitor.
Galatians 2: 4. And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privately to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage.
