Introduction
From time to time, you hear people debating on whether Old Testament is still relevant today or not. This paper is intended to take you from Genesis to Revelation for you to see by yourself that Old Testament was never abolished, just as there is no tree without root, and as there is no house without a foundation. Truly, many religious leaders are busy deceiving themselves and misleading the ignorant masses.
One point is clear and it remains unchallenged: Of all the ministers of God, both in the Old and New Testament, none has been able to call down God as often as Moses did. So, how come that present day ministers exclude the teachings and works of Moses? When they do not and cannot perform as much as a half of what Moses did? Surely, the devil defeats many simply by deceiving them to abandon their victorious powers. Also, it is a wonder that churches are bold to say that God never changes. Yet, they are busy everyday changing everything God has said and done.
Jesus …..the Old Testament
And He warned, saying, “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. ” Matthew 5:17-19
What Is Law?
Law is anything made compulsory for the wellbeing of humanity.
The Laws Are Everlasting Statutes
Throughout Your Generations
23 all that the LORD has commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day the LORD gave commandment and onward throughout your generations —
Numbers 15:23
All The Days Of Your Life
1 "Now this is the commandment , and these are the statutes and judgments which the LORD your God has commanded to teach you, that you may observe them in the land which you are crossing over to possess, 2 that you may fear the LORD your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged. 3 Therefore hear, O Israel, and be careful to observe it, that it may be well with you, and that you may multiply greatly as the LORD God of your fathers has promised you — 'a land flowing with milk and honey.'
Deuteronomy 6:1-3
The Law Is For Daily
Meditation And Observance
Shall Be In Your Heart
6 "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:6-9
Shall Not Depart From Your Mouth
8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
Joshua 1:8
Scientific Confirmations
The laws of nature are unchanging, eternal, universal and impartial. This fact ha been confirmed by Science as an established fact. Scientists call these laws of God theories, principles, theorems, models, laws, etc. inventors do not invent new things. They only come to understand, acknowledge and state the laws of nature, which are God’s will in creation.
The Laws Of God Are The Conditions
For The
Blessings Of Abraham
Many Are Playing Hypocrites
From time to time,
you hear congregations singing the song, “Abraham’s blessings are mine.” Yet,
they fail or refuse to do what Abraham did in obedience to God. For Abraham
kept the laws and festivals of God, even before the law was given to Moses on
God Wants You To Emulate Abraham
1 "Listen to Me, you who follow after righteousness,
You who seek the LORD:
Look to the rock from which you were hewn,
And to the hole of the pit from which you were dug.
2 Look to Abraham your father,
And to Sarah who bore you;
For I called him alone,
And blessed him and increased him."
Isaiah 51:1-2
Everybody Is Under The Law
12 Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.
Romans 7:12
Perfection Is By The Law
7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul;
The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;
8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the LORD is , enlightening the eyes;
9 The fear (love) of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great reward.
Psalms 19:7-11
The Laws Are Conditions For Blessings
"Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. 2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God:
1. "Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country.
2. "Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.
3. "Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.
4. "Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.
5. "The LORD will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.
6. "The LORD will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the LORD your God is giving you.
7. "The LORD will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the LORD your God and walk in His ways. 10 Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they shall be afraid of you.
8. And the LORD will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers to give you. 12 The LORD will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.
9.
And the LORD will make you the head and not the
tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of
the LORD your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them. 14 So you shall not turn aside from any of
the words which I command you this day, to the right or the left, to go after
other gods to serve them.

Calls On Everybody To Keep The Ancient Laws Of God
4 "Remember the Law of Moses, My
servant,
Which I commanded him in Horeb
for all
With the statutes and judgments.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.
6 And he will turn
The hearts of the fathers to the children,
And the hearts of the children to their fathers,
Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse."
Malachi 4:4-6
Jesus Kept And Spoke The Laws
His Parents Observed The Laws
Now when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord 23(as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the LORD"), 24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, "A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons."
Luke 2:22-24
Christ Fulfilled The Law
17 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one title will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:17-20
Jesus Approved Of The Laws Of Moses
And Jesus said to him, "See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them." Matthew 8:4
Jesus Warned Against False Religious Leaders
1 Then Jesus spoke
to the multitudes and to His disciples, 2 saying: "The scribes and the
Pharisees (religious leaders) sit in Moses' seat. 3 Therefore whatever they tell you to
observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for
they say, and do not do.
Matthew 23:1-4
Believe In Both Jesus And Moses Is Compulsory
46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me . 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?"
John 5:46-47
16 Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. 17 If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority. 18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him. 19 Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill Me?"
John 7:16-19
The Testimonies Of The Apostles, Disciples
And
Early Church
The Teachings Of The Apostles
No New Commandment
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning. 8 Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.
1 John 2:7-8
Not As Though I Wrote A New Commandment To You
I rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father. 5 And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another. 6 This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment , that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
2 John 4-6
By The Prophetic Scriptures Made Known To All Nations
25 Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began 26 but now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith — 27 to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.

With All Your Life
With All Your Heart, Soul And Mind
5 But take careful heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Joshua 22:4-5
34 To this day
they continue practicing the former rituals; they do not fear the LORD, nor do
they follow their statutes or their ordinances, or the law and commandment
which the LORD had commanded the children of Jacob, whom He named Israel, 35 with
whom the LORD had made a covenant and charged them, saying:"You shall not
fear other gods, nor bow down to them nor serve them nor sacrifice to them; 36
but the LORD, who brought you up from the land of Egypt with great power and an
outstretched arm, Him you shall fear, Him you shall worship, and to Him you
shall offer sacrifice. 37 And the statutes, the ordinances, the
law, and the commandment which He wrote for you, you shall be careful to
observe forever; you shall not fear other gods. 38 And the covenant that I have
made with you, you shall not forget, nor shall you fear other gods. 39 But the
LORD your God you shall fear; and He will deliver you from the hand of all your
enemies."
2 Kings 17:34-39
Beware Of Unauthorized Changes
God Said He Does Not Change
The religions and their churches teach that God does not change. Yet, they are busy everyday changing what God has said.
6 "For I am the LORD, I do not
change;
Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.
7 Yet from the days of your fathers
You have gone away from My ordinances
And have not kept them.
Return to Me, and I will return
to you,"
Says the LORD of hosts.
"But you said,
'In what way shall we return?'
Malachi 3:6-7
God Warned His Priests And Ministers Against Changes
3 "Behold, I will rebuke your descendants (successors)
And spread refuse on your faces,
The refuse of your solemn feasts;
And one will take you away with it.
4 Then you shall know that I have
sent this commandment to you,
That My covenant with Levi may
continue,"
Says the LORD of hosts.
5 "My covenant was with him, one of life and peace,
And I gave them to him that he might fear Me;
So he feared Me
And was reverent before My name.
6 The law of truth was in his
mouth,
And injustice was not found on his lips.
He walked with Me in peace and equity,
And turned many away from iniquity.
7 "For the lips of a priest
should keep knowledge,
And people should seek the law
from his mouth;
For he is the messenger of the
LORD of hosts.
8 But you have departed from the
way;
You have caused many to stumble
at the law.
You have corrupted the covenant
of Levi,"
Says the LORD of hosts.
9 "Therefore I also have made you contemptible and base
Before all the people,
Because you have not kept My ways
But have shown partiality in the law."
Malachi 2:3-9
Prophet Jeremiah Warned Against Changes
8 "How can you say, 'We are wise,
And the law of the LORD is with us'?
Look, the false pen of the scribe
certainly works falsehood.
Jeremiah 8:8
Daniel Prophesied About Unauthorized Changes
23 "Thus he (Angel Gabriel speaking to Daniel) said:
'The fourth beast shall be
A fourth kingdom on earth,
Which shall be different from all other kingdoms,
And shall devour the whole earth,
Trample it and break it in pieces.
24 The ten horns are ten kings
Who shall arise from this kingdom.
And another shall rise after them;
He shall be different from the first ones,
And shall subdue three kings.
25 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,
Shall persecute the saints of the Most High,
And shall intend to change times
and law.
Then the saints shall be given into his hand
For a time and times and half a time.
Daniel 7:23-25
26 "And after the sixty-two weeks
Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself;
And the people of the prince who is to come
Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.
The end of it shall be with a flood,
And till the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to
sacrifice and offering .
And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,
Even until the consummation, which is determined,
Is poured out on the desolate."
Daniel 9:26-27
Why People Are Destroyed
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also will reject you from being priest for Me;
Because you have forgotten the law of your God,
I also will forget your children (successors).
Hosea 4:6
Scoffers Will Say The Law Is No Longer Valid
1 Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), 2 that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior, 3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation." 5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, 6 by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. 7 But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
2 Peter 3:1-7
The Lord Is Not Slack
8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:9
Beware Of Wrong Statements In The Bible
18 For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness, 19 for the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
Hebrews 7:18-19
No law of God has been cancelled,
annulled or voided.
Understand The End Time Moves Of God
The Time For Human Empires Has Expired
26 'But the court shall be seated,
And they shall take away his
dominion,
To consume and destroy it
forever.
27 Then the kingdom and dominion,
And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven,
Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High.
His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
And all dominions shall serve and obey Him.'
Daniel 7:26-27
King Nebuchadnezzar Foresaw The End
31 "You, O
king, were watching; and behold, a great image! This great image, whose
splendor was excellent, stood before you; and its form was awesome. 32 This
image's head was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and
thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of
clay. 34 You watched while a stone was
cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and
broke them in pieces. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the
silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the
summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them
was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and
filled the whole earth.
Daniel 2:31-35
The Dream Is Certain, Its Interpretation Is Sure And It Is Now
Fulfilled
41 Whereas you saw
the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, the kingdom
shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw
the iron mixed with ceramic clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of
iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly
fragile. 43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the
seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix
with clay. 44 And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom
which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other
people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall
stand forever. 45 Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the
mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the
clay, the silver, and the gold — the great God has made known to the king what
will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is
sure."
Daniel 2:41-45
From God To Jesus, Through The Holy Spirit To Michael
God started with Moses in the Old Testament. When He finished, He handed over to Jesus Christ in the New Testament. When Jesus finished, He handed over to the Holy Spirit. Now, it is time for Michael to arise!
"At that time Michael shall
(Arise!) stand up,
The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people;
And there shall be a time of trouble,
Such as never was since there was a nation,
Even to that time.
And at that time your people shall be delivered,
Every one who is found written in the book.
2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
Some to everlasting life,
Some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 Those who are wise shall shine
Like the brightness of the firmament,
And those who turn many to righteousness
Like the stars forever and ever.
Daniel 12:1-3
The Original Ten Commandments
Many Churches Are Teaching Man-Made Version (A Fabricated Form) Of The
Ten Commandments. And The General Public Do Not Know That They Are Being Deceived.
Hereunder
are the original Ten Commandments:
And God spoke all these words, saying:
"I am the LORD your God, who brought you
out of the
1. "You shall have no other gods before Me.
2. "You
shall not make for yourself a carved image — any likeness of anything that is
in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under
the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD
your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but
showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
3. "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
4. "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. God foreknew that in future people and different groups shall start changing the laws of everlasting life.
5. "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you.
6. "You shall not murder.
7. "You shall not commit adultery.
8. "You shall not steal.
9. "You
shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10. "You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."
Exodus 20:1-17 (Deuteronomy 5:1-22)
The Original Day Of Worship
And
Seven Annual Festivals Of God
Leviticus 23:1-End
God’s Number For Perfection Is Seven.
Hence, seven is the foundation of many things in life. Seven is one of
God's signatures in Creation. Evidences abound in nature:
1. The Seven Spirits of God
2. The seven eyes of God. (This means
omniscience. It does not mean an eye as we know it.)
3. The seven horns of God. (This means
omnipotence. It does not mean a horn as we know it.)
4. The seven days in a week
5. The seven bands of Electromagnetic Waves
6. The seven rays of the Visible Light
7. The seven colours of rainbow
8. The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit
9. The seven words on the cross
10.
The seven

The seven

29.
The seven

Those who wish to celebrate Christmas and Easter are free to do so because
there is freedom of worship. But they should know that God gave Christians
seven annual feasts, which Jesus Himself attended.
In each of the seven annual feasts of God, which I attended, I saw and met God
Almighty face to face.
Christmas and Easter are not among the original annual feasts of God.
They are among the changes made to Christianity. Search the records, histories,
libraries, Bible, encyclopedias and Internet. The evidences are clear.
Let the person who is not a prophet
make friend with a prophet.
Let the person who has no talent
work with the person who has.
Let the person who does not know the way
join the person who knows.
The Sabbath
3 'Six days shall
work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy
convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of the LORD in all your
dwellings.
Leviticus 23:3
"Remember the Sabbath day, to
keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the
seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work:
you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female
servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in
six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in
them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day
and hallowed it. God foreknew that in future people and different groups shall
start changing the laws of everlasting life. Exodus 20:8-10 God
used the word Remember because
He foreknew that time shall come religious leaders shall start telling you it
is no longer valid.
Feasts Of The Lord

the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to the children of
Leviticus 23:1
The Passover And Unleavened Bread
4 'These are the feasts of the LORD, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times. 5 On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is the LORD's Passover. 6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD; seven days you must eat unleavened bread. 7 On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it. 8 But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD for seven days. The seventh day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it.'"

The Passover Feast Is Forever
Now the LORD spoke
to Moses and Aaron in the

pass through the

the LORD throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an
everlasting ordinance.
15 Seven days you
shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven from your
houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh
day, that person shall be cut off from

The Feast Of Pentecost - The Feast Of Weeks
15 'And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed. 16 Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer a new grain offering to the LORD. 17 You shall bring from your dwellings two wave loaves of two-tenths of an ephah. They shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven. They are the firstfruits to the LORD. 18 And you shall offer with the bread seven lambs of the first year, without blemish, one young bull, and two rams. They shall be as a burnt offering to the LORD, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire for a sweet aroma to the LORD.
19 Then you shall
sacrifice one kid of the goats as a sin offering, and two male lambs of the
first year as a sacrifice of a peace offering. 20 The priest shall wave them with
the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before the LORD, with the two
lambs. They shall be holy to the LORD for the priest. 21 And you shall proclaim
on the same day that it is a holy convocation to you. You shall do no customary
work on it. It shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your
generations.
22 'When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field when you reap, nor shall you gather any gleaning from your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the stranger: I am the LORD your God.'"

The Day Of Atonement Is Forever
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 27 "Also the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the Day of Atonement. It shall be a holy convocation for you; you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. 28 And you shall do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before the LORD your God. 29 For any person who is not afflicted in soul on that same day shall be cut off from his people. 30 And any person who does any work on that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people. 31 You shall do no manner of work; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 32 It shall be to you a Sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict your souls; on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall celebrate your Sabbath."
Leviticus 23:26-32 (Numbers 29:7-11)
The Feast Of Tabernacles
33 Then
the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 34 "Speak to the children of

39 'Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of the LORD for seven days; on the first day there shall be a Sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a Sabbath-rest. 40 And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days. 41 You shall keep it as a feast to the LORD for seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations. You shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42 You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths, 43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.'"

Promise Of Restoration
21 "Then say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; 22 and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again. 23 They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. Then they shall be My people, and I will be their God.

your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell there, they, their children, and their
children's children, forever; and My servant David shall be their prince

shall be an everlasting covenant with them; I will establish them and multiply
them, and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore. 27 My tabernacle
also shall be with them; indeed I will be their God, and they shall be My
people. 28 The nations also will know that I, the LORD, sanctify

Why The Wailing Wall Stands
The only significance of the Wailing Wall is that it stands as an evidence against the Israelites because they rejected God as Jesus Christ when He came in their midst. Jesus prophesied about the destruction of the temple, because the Israelites trusted in the temple to the extent that they rejected corrections form God. That is what exactly many people and churches are doing today. You give them messages and corrections from the Holy Spirit, and they say, “That is not how our church worships,” “My church does not believe that,” or they say, “My religious leader said we should not do so.” And so it happens that many are busy deceiving themselves and as well misleading the ignorant masses.
Jesus Lamented Over
34 "O
Luke 13:34-35 (Matthew 23:37-39)
Jesus Predicted The Destruction Of The
1 Then as He went out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, "Teacher, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!"
2 And Jesus answered and said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone shall be left upon another, that shall not be thrown down."
Mark 13:1-2 (Matthew 24:1,2; Luke 21:5,6)
Do Not Mind Those Who Interpret The Wailing Wall To Please You.
13 And this is the second thing you do:
You cover the altar of the LORD with tears,
With weeping and crying;
So He does not regard the offering anymore,
Nor receive it with goodwill from your hands.
Malachi 2:13
To The Law And Prophets
1.
Both Jesus
And
In the case of the rich man and Lazarus, both Jesus and Abraham point humanity to the Old Testament laws and prophets of God.
27 "Then he said, 'I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house, 28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.' 29 Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the prophets ; let them hear them.' 30 And he said, 'No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' 31 But he said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.'" Luke 16:27-31
Remark this: Jesus said humanity have Moses and prophets (the Old
Testament); He did not say that people have the New Testament to guide them. Humanity
‘have Moses’ with them because they have the five books of Moses to read and
learn from. If Moses were to come again in the midst of humanity, he would only
teach what is the five books again, even so without adding or subtracting. And
indeed, Moses has reincarnated again as Musa of Nnobi in
Likewise, mankind have the prophets with them, because they have all the books of the ancient prophets. And were all the prophets to come back to life on earth, they would teach and practice the same Old Testament, for God does not change.

The
Transfiguration Shows That The Law And The Prophets Are Still Relevant Here On
Earth And In Heaven
Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; 2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. 4 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
Matthew 17:1-4
By allowing Moses and Elijah to appear and stand beside Jesus, one on the right and the other to the left, God showed the world that:
· The law and the prophets are relevant to salvation.
· Whoever does not do what the law and prophets said shall not attain heaven.
· It was the word of God (Jesus) that is also the law and prophets.
· Both law and prophets are necessary in heaven and on earth.
· God has given humanity three witnesses showing that his word is the same, for three times is a confirmation. It is the word of God that is the law and prophets.
