The lessons on the 10 Commandments are also cumulative. To learn the most, try to listen to them in order. The Decalogue podcasts are shorter than the Psalms lessons, so occasionally you might want to combine days.

1. Worship and Serve Only Yehovah, One God, the Creator, do no have other creations as gods, including yourself.

2. NO Idols, dreams, money, heroes, music, politics, sports, etc

3. Invoc the Name properly

4. Rest weekly

5. Respect Parents

6. Do NOT Murder, Abort, Hate, better Love

7. Avoid Adultery and Fornication, Remain Faithful in Marriage

8. Do NOT Take Without Asking, better Work and Give Generously

9. Do NOT give false witness, fake-news, but a True Testimony

10. Do NOT Covet, better Be Content with what you already have

Introduction and definitions

• Decalogue: The ten words
• Torah: Law or Instruction (from the Hebrew yarah, meaning to guide). This may refer to the first five books of the Bible, or the law(s) found in them.
• Pentateuch: The five rolls. The term refers to the first five books of the O.T., Genesis-Deuteronomy.
• Two greatest commandments: Love God with all your heart (Deuteronomy 6:5) and Love your neighbor as yourself (Leviticus 19:18). Neither is in the 10 commandments, and yet it has been noted that the first four commandments pertain to love for God, the last six to love for neighbor.
• The two tablets (Exodus 31:18, 32:15) are two identical copies of the commandments. This is known from covenant customs in this part of the world (2nd millennium BC)
• The 10 commandments were delivered the first time at Sinai (Horeb) near the beginning of the desert wanderings. It comes out in a new version near the end of this period (see Deuteronomy 5). Moreover, another “ten commandments” may be found in Exodus 34.

R4E130705 – Hebrews Bridge Between The Testaments by Douglas Jacoby

You can download the full audiobook recording on qobuz or amazon or itunes.

Bridging books

• There are several books in the NT that intimate connect with the OT, like Matthew, Colossians, yet
• The books that best illuminate the gospel in the light of the OT are Romans, Galatians, and Hebrews.
  

Message

• The new covenant is superior to the old covenant in every way. (I find 13 points of contrast — see how many you can locate.)
• Jesus fulfills the Law. Therefore
• We lose our salvation if we turn our backs on Jesus. Don’t drift back to the old religion (2:1)!

Jesus is not just superior, but supreme

• PROPHETS — God’s revelation through his Son (1:1-4) means that he is superior to the prophets.
• ANGELS — Jesus superior to the angels (1:5-2:18). See also Colossians 2:14-3:1.
• MOSES — Jesus superior to Moses (3:1-19). See also Deuteronomy 18:15-19.
• JOSHUA — Jesus superior to Joshua (4:1-13)
• PRIESTHOOD — Jesus superior to the OT priests (4:14-9:14).
  • Superior sacrifice, offered through
  • A superior priesthood — in the order of Melchizedek (Genesis 14, Psalm 110)
    • Combining priest in king
    • King in Zion / Salem (Jerusalem)
    • Bread and wine
    • Superior to Abraham
    • Not Jewish — outside the system

Supersession

• Through Hebrews we understand the relationship between the covenants:
  • The first covenant was to be superseded by the other, because,
  • Even though the way of Moses was good (and anticipated, paralleled, and was fulfilled in the way of Christ),
  • The first testament was inferior to the second.
• Yet the point is not simply that the way of Christ is superior to the law of Moses, but that in every way Jesus Christ is supreme.
