Ten Commandments with a different emphasis

We update studies as the Lord Jesus leads us. You can find the latest update of this study at ChurchAges.net

The Book of Acts tells us about the Acts of the Holy Ghost in the early church that was set up by the apostles.

This was the original true church. As the Bride of Christ, they determined to understand and obey their Husband.

They formed the first church age.

After the apostle John died around AD 100, the influence of the apostles began to be undermined as the people accepted Priests, Pastors, and Bishops to be the head of local churches. Bible truth began to fade from the churches by AD 170 as the first church age ended. The church lost its way as they followed the opinions and agendas of the church leaders.

Then, in AD 325, the politician Constantine exerted political pressure, large bribes, and force on church leaders to accept adding the unscriptural word Trinity. Adding words to the Bible multiplied like a virus, corrupted truth, and brought on the Dark Age that the brave Martin Luther ended in 1520, telling people to get saved by grace through faith and repentance.

In 1750 John Wesley of England restored holiness and outreach which led to the great missionary age.

The Pentecostal Spirit of supernatural power was restored in the 1900s in America.

But a deep understanding of the Bible mysteries is the elusive final goal that the churches miss.

Modern day Christians defensively brag about their very shallow knowledge of Scripture, as if that is a great virtue.

But we have a responsibility to learn the truth of the written Scriptures. God expects us to do so.

JOHN 4:24  “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

Jesus does not try to explain what people cannot understand.

Jesus did not explain to Peter why He washed his feet. Peter, at that time, disliked the Gentiles as unclean and could not understand that the feet of the Gentile image were going to be washed by the water of the Word as the Gospel spread to the Gentile nations.

In MATTHEW, Lion King Jesus leaves out the 5 Commandments that mention the mistakes that will fool the saved foolish virgins. These church-goers cannot understand that they have made these mistakes. They chose the wrong leadership by putting one man in charge of a local church. They struggle to believe that the old King James Version of the Bible is a perfect translation. Thus they believe that there is no perfect Bible and they simply jump between different flawed versions of the Bible. (There are more than 100 different versions of the English Bible).

Sadly, the foolish virgins from the Gentile church ages focused on finalizing their creeds and condemning alternative beliefs that disagreed with them. Thus they cannot be corrected and reformed. They owe their loyalty not to the Scriptures, but to their unscriptural and elevated Nicolaitan church Priesthood. The New Testament never had a Priest, or a Pastor, or a Bishop, in charge of a church. A Priesthood of Pastors took over during the Reformation. By banning dissent, churches made sure that they could never be corrected. They too cannot realize that they have made these mistakes. Churches make a fresh start to restore back parts of the New Testament truth. But then they refuse further changes from outside their narrow church-view, and stagnate. God has to move elsewhere to start a new movement and a deeper understanding of Scripture. The established churches then ruthlessly oppose each new movement. Their knowledge of Scripture remains very shallow. The churches become increasingly Bible-illiterate.

In Matthew Christ is also King of the fooled churches

The foolish virgins are saved Christians who trust their church leaders rather than the Bible. Fiercely defensive of their churches, their church leaders, and church traditions, they become increasingly Bible illiterate.

Church members today readily claim that there are faults in the Bible, but they refuse to admit that their church has faults.

In Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus only repeats five of the Ten Commandments.

He knows that the future church of the foolish virgins, after losing direction at the Roman Catholic Council of Nicaea in AD 325, will not understand the 5 Commandments that He leaves out.

Then He mentions “Honour your father and your mother” last, to get a long life. We got a natural body from our parents.

But being restored back to where the church started in the Holy Spirit-led First Church Age is the key to getting our changed eternal body. That gives us eternal life with no sickness or death. Their Mother is that portion of the Holy Spirit from Whom the early church was born on the Day of Pentecost. Their Father is Jesus Christ Who is the Word of God which was written down by the apostolic fathers.

The foolish virgins lost sight of this vital truth and were fooled by the Roman Catholic church to return back to the church fathers who organized the Council of Nicaea that forced the church to accept the pagan Trinity. An unscriptural word.

Jesus then adds on an extra Commandment for everyone to love their neighbour. We must learn to love people by bringing them to the Word, not to our church. We must love those who correct us from Scripture. The foolish virgins, though saved, dislike and often hate those who try to make them Scriptural. That is their fatal mistake.

The five Commandments that are left out in Matthew represent the 5 big mistakes that the Gentile church will make during the 2000 years of church history. But at the end of church history, in the seventh and last church age, the churches will be completely unaware (knoweth not) that they have made these mistakes. When you are wrong and you do not know it, then you know that you are a victim of your church leader's propaganda and agendas.

This is rather like swallowing poison. You did not know that it was poison, but it harms you anyhow.

The Ten Commandments track the errors that the churches have made during the seven church ages.

Jewish religious leaders (the equivalent of modern-day Pastors), hated Jesus for interfering with their Temple wealth and whipping out the Temple money-makers. The Jews also had an intense political hatred for the Romans. Their lust for wealth and political involvement, blinded them to their sins. They had no idea what bad things they were doing. Politics and greedy money-making would be the downfall of the Jews and also be the downfall of the foolish virgin churches. How many scandals are now coming out of megachurches? How many Pastors, who have hundreds of different religious beliefs, are trapped in sexual sins and financial greed and fraud?

Notice which Commandments Jesus left out.

Neither the Jews of Jesus' day nor the modern fooled churches can believe these doctrines.

There is too much deception flying around that has fooled today’s people. The pulpits now stress church propaganda to brainwash their listeners. And there are over 2000 different kinds of churches and denominations, all disagreeing with each other on various points. There are over 100 diferent English versions of the Bible. It has become a complete spiritual swamp.

Saying Jesus is good means that Jesus is God

A rich Jew asked Jesus which was the good thing that would get him into Heaven.

Being rich immediately implies the major weakness of saved church-goers. The human lust for more money.

MATTHEW 19:16  “And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?”

He called Jesus "Good", but never realized that only God is Good, and thus he never grasped that he was actually saying that Jesus was God.

Similarly, the last church age produces church-goers who never realize that Jesus is Lord God Almighty.

The rich man man then asks what good thing he can do to get into Heaven.

He disregards the Good (with a capital "G") God and focuses on his own good (small "g") deed. Such self-centred arrogance.

REVELATION 3:17  Because thou sayest, I am rich and increased with goods, and have need of nothing:

and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

For the first time in 2000 years, the church can finally speak in the last church age.

And the first word is "I".

Self-obsessed is the modern fooled church.

The second word is "am".

"I am" is how God describes Himself as the self-existing One.

The end-time church considers itself to be equal with God.

The Pope is claimed to be infallible by the Roman Catholic church.

The end-time Message churches claim that William Branham's  quotes are equal to Scripture as his recorded sermons are distributed as "Voice of God" Recordings. Such ego.

Then these daughter churches copy the Roman Catholic mother church by calling brother Branham infallible.

There are no limits to human arrogance.

When Satan was Lucifer, he said,

ISAIAH 14:14  "I will be like the most High".

Satan's influence has infiltrated the church.

The third word spoken by the final church of the Laodiceans is "rich".

"I am rich". Look how fantastic I am. I must be right with God.

But I am very modest. I praise God for making ME rich. Please notice that it is ME that is so financially successful. So I must be superior to those with less money.

The intense focus of the final church age is the pursuit of wealth. Reminds me of Judas Iscariot.

Wealth of course makes it easier to chase after women. Wealth also gives me more power amongst people.

The unholy Trinity of Power, Pennies, and Petticoats. The downfall of modern church Preachers.

"And knowest not". The modern church is based on self-praising human quotes and Bible-ignorance.

Our worst mistakes we do not admit. We are blind to our major faults. Thus we endlessly justify them.

MATTHEW 19:17  “And he [Jesus] said unto him [the rich Jew], Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.”

No human is good. Only God is good. Jesus is God in a human body, so Jesus alone is good.

But today we are easily fooled.

We used to greet each other by saying, "How are you?" and getting the reply, "I am fine".

This has now changed.

When asked, "How are you?" people now reply, "I am good".

That is the wrong answer as nobody is good.

Error creeps in subtly and unnoticed.

Jesus makes it clear that there  is not just one good thing that you have to do. You must keep ALL the Commandments.

But even that is not enough. To be perfect you have to die to self.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:31  “I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.”

Before a seed can germinate to life, it first has to die.

:36  “Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:”

Thus you must get rid of your greatest achievement. There must be no place for self-praise.

Get rid of your wealth.

The rich man thought, No way.

So, the rich man walked away from Jesus, symbolizing the individuals who choose belonging to an end-time church rather than obeying the King James Bible. Consequently, in the end, Jesus is outside the church.

MATTHEW 19:21  “Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.”

Churches can no longer understand certain Commandments

It is frighteningly sad that Jesus stands outside the last church of the Laodiceans. The church has finally rejected the true Word of God, the King James Bible. The church people seek comfort, convenience, compromise, and cash.

REVELATION 3:14  “And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write;

3:20  “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock:

Jesus is outside the church door in the last church age. Drums are never mentioned in Scripture.

Inside are Gay rights, gender change, same sex marriage, drum-beat disco-entertainment, and over 100 different versions of the English Bible.

There are over 100 different versions of William Branham's End-Time Message. Error has multiplied like a virus.

Look what Jesus repeated of the Ten Commandments, and what He left out.

This enables us to follow the trail of error that happened as the seven church ages unfolded, and which led to the final blind state of the foolish or fooled churches that makes them unable to see their mistakes.

MATTHEW 19:18  “He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,”

:19  “Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”

Commandment 1   Left out

Commandment 2   Left out

Commandment 3   Left out

Commandment 4   Left out

Commandment 5   Moved to the end,

Commandment 6   Do no murder,

Commandment 7   Do not commit adultery,

Commandment 8   Do not steal,

Commandment 9   Do not bear false witness,

Commandment 10 Left out

Commandment 5   Honour thy father and mother.    Why is this one mentioned last?

Add: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Matthew puts more emphasis on the Gentiles than on the Jews.

Consider the 5 Commandments that Jesus left out.

Jesus leaves out the truths that have been totally lost by today’s fooled church and by the Jews who lived in Jesus' days.

The first 3 Commandments deal with the Godhead. (The Head of the church. Not a three-headed monster).

The Last 7 Commandments deal with the 7 church ages. (The body of Christ).

Commandment 1.  Neither the Jews in Jesus day, nor today’s fooled Gentile churches, understood the true Godhead that Jesus is Almighty God.

Only one Person is God. "I am" cannot refer to more than one Person.

EXODUS 20:2  “I am the LORD thy God"... 

Nowhere does the Bible ever say "three Persons".

Commandment 2.  Make no image of God.

Neither the Jews of Jesus day, nor today’s fooled Gentile churches, understood that God made an image of Himself, the Man Jesus.

The fulness of God dwells bodily in the Man Jesus.

COLOSSIANS 2:9  “For in him [Jesus] dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”

Thus, God is one Person.

HEBREWS 1:3  “[Jesus] Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person"...

Commandment 3.   Do not take God's name in vain.

Neither the Jews of Jesus day, nor today’s Gentile churches, understood that the real name of Almighty God is Jesus Christ.

None of God's Old Testament names are mentioned in the New Testament.

"God the Father" is never mentioned in the Old Testament. "God the Son" is never mentioned in the Bible.

The Trinity God is nameless. You cannot find one name for three Persons.

"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" is not a name. It is three titles.

It is claimed to be a baptismal formula. But we were told to baptize in a name, not in a formula.

Commandment 4.   [Church age 1] Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.

Neither the Jews of Jesus day, nor today’s Gentile churches, understood that the only true church was the first church age of the New Testament. The apostles had been taught by Jesus Himself. They established the first church age.

Jesus left out the first church age (representing Commandment 4 to remember the Sabbath day) because the churches of today do not regard the apostles as the true foundation of the church.

In addition, they think Sunday is the Sabbath day.

The Roman Catholics made that change which the Protestants copied.

Sunday is the first day of the week not the seventh day.

It was a Sunday when the Holy Ghost was poured out on the apostles on the Day of Pentecost

to give them rest from their sins and unbelief.

That is our true rest.

Church leaders falsely claim the truth started with the Council of Nicaea in AD 325 when Trinity was forced on the church by the politician Constantine during the third church age.

Jesus also left out the last church age (our church age) because the churches of today have rejected the revealed Bible truths and thus failed to become Scriptural. We are supposed to be a copy of the First Church Age of the apostles.

The apostles never baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Today, the churches move in various directions. Each one trying to be bigger, and better, and wealthier than the others.

Remember, Jesus is the First and the Last.

The Seed of truth that was first planted by the apostles must be the same as the Seed of truth that the last church age believes when we are harvested in the latter rain (the harvest rain). The harvest pulls the Seed of Life off the church plant that has died. This happens when Jesus pulls His Bride off the earth, away from the dead church that condemns the King James Bible truth, to meet Him in the air.

What was the rest from sin that the first church age had?

The Holy Ghost baptism on the Day of Pentecost.

ISAIAH 28:11  “For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.”

ISAIAH 28:12  “To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.”

Speaking in unknown tongues that other people could understand was the sign of God’s rest from sin.

ACTS 2:6  “Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.”

Speaking in tongues in public only has meaning if it can be understood by the public.

1 CORINTHIANS 14:23  “If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?”

ACTS 2:1  “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.”

ACTS 2:3  “And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.”

ACTS 2:4  “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”

The portion of the Holy Ghost on the Day of Pentecost gave birth to the New Testament church.

The fourth Commandment of the Sabbath day rest is fulfilled in our lives when we allow the Holy Ghost to fill our lives and control us so that we can rest from the sins that we previously committed.

Then we can also rest from our unbelief and begin to believe the same as what the early church of the apostles believed.

Once we have found rest from our sinful works, then we never go back to the sins and unbelief that we used to do.

HEBREWS 4:10   “For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.”

The apostles were the best taught group as they had been taught by Jesus Himself.

Commandment 6.  [Church age 3]  No murder.

The Jews murdered Jesus as a Man.

The Church murdered Jesus as the Word of God when they forced the unscriptural word “Trinity” onto the churchgoers at the Council of Nicaea in AD 325.

Then unscriptural words like "Christmas", "25 December", "Good Friday", "Easter Sunday", "Easter Monday", etc, followed.

Please remember, Jesus is both a Man (physically, killed by the Jews) and the Word of God (Spiritually, killed by the Roman Catholics).

Commandment 7.  [Church age 4]  No adultery.

Getting involved with the Roman Catholic church in the Dark Ages was spiritual adultery as the Roman Catholic church is the spiritual harlot of Revelation 17. This harlot offers a cup of her own wrong doctrines, she does not offer Scripture.

The Roman Catholics focused on the corruption of political power to control Europe.

Roman Catholicism grew out of the spirit of the cruel, money-grabbing pagan Roman Empire.

The Jews in Jesus' day embraced the pagan Roman power, that they knew was wrong, in their determination to destroy Jesus.

Commandment 8.  [Church age 5]  Do not steal.

Martin Luther left the Roman Catholic church but the mistake of the Lutherans was to steal some of their unscriptural Catholic doctrines.

For example:  Trinity. One God in three Persons.

Elevating a Pastor or minister to be the head of a local church. (copying the Roman Catholic priest who is the head of a local Catholic church).

Sunday sabbath. Christmas which is Christ’s Mass, a Roman Catholic invention that started in AD 350 by Pope Julius I.

The pagan decorated tree that Jeremiah 10 warned us not to copy as a Christmas tree.

"Merry Christmas". Lent.  Easter eggs. Easter bunnies.

All these Roman Catholic expressions are unscriptural. But the Protestant churches stole them from the Catholics.

The Jews stole the Life of Jesus from Him when they demanded that a murderer be released so that the innocent Jesus could be executed.

Commandment 9.  [Church age 6]  No false witness.

John Wesley’s holiness crusade was excellent but many ended up believing that you are saved thanks to your holy works and your regular church attendance. Plus, you must never argue with the Preacher or Pastor. Salvation was no longer just by grace through faith. Many feel that salvation also depends on regular church attendance, regular church payments, and never disagreeing with the Pastor.

The false witness of the Jews was their readiness to call the Roman Caesar their king, in order to persuade the Roman Governor, Pontius Pilate, to kill Jesus because He was a rival King.

Commandment 10. [Church age 7]   “Do not covet” is left out.

This last church age of the Laodiceans is such an insatiable, greedy age where the Prosperity Gospel makes people serve God for the love of money, luxury, showing off their wealth as proof of being right with God, and financial security. Their faith is in their bank accounts, not in God.

2000 years ago, in their lust to covet wealth, the Jews had turned God's Temple into a den of thieves, but they thought they were serving God.

This Temple wealth attracted the Roman army in AD 70 when they looted the Temple and burned it down.

Serving God for gain is such a false pretence, but churchgoers and Jews are so addicted to doing this, that Jesus just leaves this out. Only when the Jews, and the saved foolish virgins in the churches, lose all in great tribulation will they painfully come to their senses and learn truth.

“Do not covet a Bible-teaching ministry".

Pastors have been elevated to being the head of their church. They want this power to tell the church what to do. They are also desperate to be considered clever. Thus, they want to also tell the people what to believe. But they are not gifted to reveal the deep mysteries of Scripture. We now have more than 2000 different kinds of churches and denominations, all competing for their portion of the pie.

Our last church age is so desperately always wanting more, that they cannot realize that this attitude is wrong.

Thus, church people are fooled and remain ignorant of much of the Bible. They are referred to as foolish virgins. Clean women. Saved but fooled.

Commandment 10 is left out. Why?

It is the last Commandment, thus it refers to the last church age which we are in.

In the last church age, we are promised a former rain (moreh in Hebrew means teaching).

But Pastors have elevated themselves unscripturally to be the heads of the local churches.

Thus, they offer churchgoers a Pastoral rain which is unscriptural.

Pastoral means solving the personal problems that people face.

Only Bible teachers can fit the Scriptures together to reveal a deeper pattern.

Pastors, claiming to be the head of a local church, have committed fraud as they do not have the Spirit-gift of Bible teaching when it comes to understanding deep Bible mysteries that people need to know at the end. And the defrauded churchgoers remain in an increasing state of Bible-illiteracy when it comes to prophecy and the deeper mysteries.

Jesus left out the 4^th Commandment (representing the first church age) and the 10^th Commandment (representing the 7^th  and last church age)

After all, Jesus is the First and the Last.

REVELATION 2:8   “And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith

the first and the last,

which was dead, and is alive;”

First and last.

Jesus died and then rose from the dead.

The church followed the same pattern.

The apostles planted the Seed of truth in the First Church Age. The Truth died at the Council of Nicaea in AD 325 when Trinity was forced on the church by a politician, Emperor Constantine, in the third church age. Then the Seed of truth was buried in the dirt of the Dark Ages.

The leaves of Truth germinated to life in 1520 in the Church Age of Martin Luther who taught us to get saved by faith.

The pollen of the holiness Gospel blew over the world in the days of John Wesley and the Missionaries who established, worldwide, the King James Version of the Bible as the foundation of our Christian faith.

The Pentecostals restored the power of the Holy Spirit and the Spiritual gifts. But they could not reveal the deep Bible mysteries.

William Branham in America enabled the Truth to be restored when, in 1963, he revealed the mysteries of the six Seals in Revelation Chapter 6.

These mysteries taught us how to begin to understand the Bible symbols and patterns. That enables us to be restored as children in the Seventh Church Age, back to the beliefs of our apostolic fathers in the First Church Age.

Commandment 5.  [Church age 2]   Honour thy father and mother.

Your human life came from your parents, so honour them.

Your spiritual life comes from the Holy Ghost baptism that started on the Day of Pentecost to give birth to the New Testament church. The Holy Ghost is our spiritual Mother.

Our spiritual Father is Jesus Who we know as the Word of God.

Truth was written down as the New Testament by the apostolic fathers. They established the only church age that God was happy with and we must strive to copy their New Testament church structure and beliefs as closely as possible.

We must honour them as our example.

The first church age never had church buildings, they met in people’s houses. They were not in separate denominations (an unscriptural word). They had all things in common.

Our spiritual Mother is that portion of the Holy Ghost which gave birth to the New Testament church on the Day of Pentecost. Our portion of the Holy Ghost today gives us a desire to honour that first church age experience and do our best to be restored to their beliefs.

The Jews called Abraham their father. He accepted bread and wine from Melchizedek the Priest.

The Jews rejected the bread and wine given out by Jesus, Who was the High Priest of the Order of Melchizedek. Thus the Jews never honoured their father Abraham.

The Jews total rejection of what Abraham believed made them kill Jesus and shed His blood. The very events that the bread and wine represented. The Jews killed Jesus, the spiritual Son of Abraham, and totally dishonoured their father, Abraham.

At Calvary, God cut off the Jews and even stopped using their Hebrew language.

Hebrew is not going to help you today, as the Jews knew Hebrew but could not recognize Jesus.

God wrote the New Testament in Greek because Alexander the Great had spread Greek as a common language over such a huge Empire of Gentile peoples.

None of the Old Testament names of God are mentioned in the New Testament.

The Jehovah of the Old Testament became the Jesus of the New Testament.

A suprising addition.

“Love your neighbour” was not a Commandment.

But the last church age will develop such a hatred for people who do not believe in Trinity, or Good Friday, or Sunday Sabbath, or Christmas. A special dislike and shunning for those who do not believe that the Pastor or Minister or Priest or Vicar is the head of a local church.

Those who only baptize adults in the name of Jesus Christ are particularly despised and subject to character assassination.

Message Pastors wrongly claim that brother Branham is infallible and condemn those who correct brother Branham's mistakes.

Today’s churchgoers are in desperate need of a dose of brotherly love towards those who they disagree with.

The same applies to the Jews. They are hated by many but they benefit from those who they are friendly with.

Brotherly love is like honey, it is sweet and sticky.

“Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself” is added in as a warning that just because we do not like a person’s beliefs, that  is no excuse for us to dislike the person.

Hating a person who is strictly Scriptural, is a profound fault in the churches.

A typical church motto today is, “If you do not believe in the Trinity then you are not a real Christian and I want nothing to do with you”.

Message preachers say the same thing about those who dare to correct brother Branham's mistakes.

The church does not love dissenters. They prefer to criticise them, condemn them, and practice character assassination.

But we are supposed to love our enemies.

Modern church-goers are married to their churches and not to Jesus Christ, the Word of God.
