SIX DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GOD’S LAW & THE MOSAIC LAW 

 

The final three (3) differences are:

 

4)  The law of God was preserved uniquely inside the ark of the covenant 

 

Exodus 25:16 ... “You shall put inside the ark the testimony which I shall give you.”

 

Deuteronomy 31:24-26 ... “It came about, when Moses finished writing the words of this law in a book until they were complete, that Moses commanded the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying, ‘Take this book of the law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may remain there as a witness against you.’”

 

5)  From this verse in 2^nd Kings we can see that there are two different laws at play here.

 

2 Kings 21:8 ... “And I will not make the feet of Israel wander anymore from the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that My servant Moses commanded them.”

 

Ø God uses the words ‘I have commanded them’ meaning the Ten Commandments while ‘The laws that my servant Moses commanded them’ meaning the Mosaic law.

 

6)  Daniel revealed this difference between these laws. 

 

Daniel 9:11 “Indeed all Israel has transgressed Your law and turned aside, not obeying Your voice; so the curse has been poured out on us, along with the oath which is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, for we have sinned against Him.” 

 

Ø ‘Your law’ referring to God laws (the Ten Commandments) while ‘the law of Moses’ referring to the Mosaic Law. A Christian has to differentiate these two laws because God’s law (the Ten Commandments) applies to all people at all times while the Law of Moses is specifically for the Jewish people.

 

Until next time, walk with the King & be a blessing.
