Were All The Laws Revealed At Once?

  • In the ancient times, the full righteousness of the Law was not revealed at once. Over a process of time and events, the full righteousness of the laws were revealed according to scripture. Noah gave his children the instructions of the commands which he knew because all was not revealed to him by evidence of the laws that Moses received on Mt. Sinai that gave more understanding of the righteousness of Alahayim.

Jubilees 7:20
[20]
And in the thirty fourth jubilee Noah began to enjoin upon his sons' sons the ordinances and commandments, and all the judgments that he knew, and he exhorted his sons to observe righteousness, and to cover the shame of their flesh, and to bless their Creator, and honour father and mother, and love their neighbour, and guard their souls from fornication and uncleanness and all iniquity.

 

  • A good example to understand how the whole righteousness of the law was revealed over a progression of time is the process of the revelation 0f the Feast of Tabernacles. The feast started in the earth with Abraham for seven days and was not a feast that Noah was aware of. Then the fullness of the feast's eight days of celebration was not revealed to Abraham either because it was not until the days of Jacob that the fullness of the feast of Tabernacles was revealed.

Jubilees 32:25-29
[25]And Jacob said: 'Lord, how can I remember all that I have read and seen? 'And he said unto him: 'I will bring all things to thy remembrance.' [26]And he went up from him, and he awoke from his sleep, and he remembered everything which he had read and seen, and he wrote down all the words which he had read and seen. [27]And he celebrated there yet another day, and he sacrificed thereon according to all that he sacrificed on the former days, and called its name 'Addition,' for this day was added and the former days he called 'The Feast '. [28]And thus it was manifested that it should be, and it is written on the heavenly tablets: wherefore it was revealed to him that he should celebrate it, and add it to the seven days of the feast. [29]And its name was called 'Addition,' because that it was recorded amongst the days of the feast days, according to the number of the days of the year.

 

  • Alahayim willing, the example of the full Feast of Tabernacles being revealed over a process of time helps understand the laws weren't all revealed at once. The laws of fornication is also a good example of how the fullness of the laws weren't revealed all at once since the whole law on the matter wasn't revealed until Moses received the whole law on Mount Sinai. For this reason, it is unlawful to have certain marriages after Moses received the law that were not unlawful before that time. For example:

 

  1. Simeon lawfully married his sister Dinah. [Jasher 45:2] On the other hand, from the time Moses received the whole law, it is now unlawful to marry one's sister or even see her nakedness.     

    • Leviticus 18:9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.

  2.  Moses' father, Amram, lawfully married his aunt, Jochbed. [Exo 6:20] On the other hand, from the time Moses received the whole law, it is now unlawful to marry one's aunt or see her nakedness.         

    • Leviticus 18:12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.

  3. Jacob lawfully married two sisters in their same lifetime. [ Jasher 28:28] On the other hand, from the time Moses received the whole law, it is now unlawful to marry two sisters in this manner.

    • Leviticus 18:18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.

 

  • The testimonies show that the law had not been revealed in its completeness from the beginning until the completeness was revealed to Moses.

Jubilees 33:16
[16]For until that time there had not been revealed the ordinance and judgment and law in its completeness for all, but in thy days (it has been revealed) as a law of seasons and of days, and an everlasting law for the everlasting generations.

  •  So the complete ordinances, judgments and laws were revealed to Moses for an everlasting law, yet and still, the grace and truth of the Law of Moses was revealed by Christ Yache the Lord to help understand there was still more to understand for us to keep the Law of Moses in truth. The truth of the law on killing, adultery, proper grounds for divorce, and oaths are examples of the revealing of the truth of the laws to help us keep them during the grace period of this life to fulfill the commandments:

Joh 1:17  

For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Yache Christ
Matthew 5:21-22
[21]Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: [22]But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
Matthew 5:27-28
[27]Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
[28]But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Matthew 5:31-34,37
[31]It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
[32]But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
[33]Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
[34]But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is Alahayim's throne:
[37]But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

 

  • Before Yache came in the flesh to give his life, a portion of his spirit was in his prophets of old to teach us the true worship of Alahayim so that we may be saved from our sins so they also have taught us laws to serve Alahayim as well:

3Co 2:8-10

For Alahayim who is over all, the Almighty, the one who made heaven and earth, sent prophets to the Jews first of all, that they might be pulled away from their sins. 9 For he wanted to save the house of Israel. 10 And so he sent a portion of the Spirit of Christ into the prophets, who proclaimed the true worship of Alahayim for many years.

  • For these reasons, the books of the prophets also give us laws, wisdom and understanding on the true worship of Alahayim. There was a doctrine of the evil one of old time for us not to give heed to the words of the prophets (though Alahayim truly sent them to proclaim the true worship of Alahayim):

3Co 1:1-4, 6

Stephanus and the Presbyters with him, Daphnus, Euboulus, Theophilus, and Zenon, to Paul, who is in the Lord. Greetings! 2 Two men, a certain Simon and Cleobius, have come to Corinth and upset the faith of some by their corrupt teachings, which you can evaluate for yourself. 3 For we have never heard such teachings either from you or anyone else. But we have kept the things we received from you and our other teachers. 4 And so, since the Lord has shown us mercy, come to us while you are in the flesh, or write back to us, that we may hear your teachings again. 6 For this is what they are saying and teaching: that there is no need to consider the Hebrew prophets...

  • Let's see Paul's response to the corrupt teachings that we should not consider the prophets:

3Co 2:1 Paul, the prinoner of Yache Christ and who is in the midst of many failures, to the brothers in Corinth. Greetings! 2 I am not surprised that the doctrines of the evil one have moved forward so quickly; 3 for the Lord Christ will soon come—he who is rejected by those who have debased his sayings.

  • It is a corrupt teaching and doctrine of the evil one to say "we should not consider the prophets." It is a contradiction to Christ's teachings and doctrine when he said, "Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil..one jot or one tittle shall in now wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled." [Matt 5:17-18] It is debasing Christ's sayings if we do not consider the prophets to uphold the laws taught to us through them and that corrupt teaching will lead us to be guilty of sin at Christ's coming being ignorant of the laws outlined in the prophets since none of the law shall pass away until all the prophecies of the Law and prophets are fulfilled. Understanding we have laws to guide us through the prophets like Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the 12 sons of Jacob, Moses, Joshua, Samuel, David, Solomon, and Ezekiel example, Paul taught believers to remain in the rule (Law) received from the prophets and Gospel for our salvation to help understand the teachings of the prophets and Apostles give laws for us to observe for our salvation as well:

​3Co 2:25

Anyone who remains in the rule recieved through the blessed prophets and holy Gospel will receive a reward.

3Co 2:26 Anyone who transgresses these things is bound for the fire, as are those atheists who have come before them—offspring of vipers, whom you should reject by the power of the Lord.

  • We are not to accept such teachings that steer us away from the rules received through the blessed prophets and holy Gospel. After Yache came in the flesh, gave his life, and resurrected, he gave his Apostles commands to teach all nations whatsoever he commanded, so this means the Apostles commands are of the Lord Yache and give us further understanding of the righteousness of the Law.

Matthew 28:18-20
[18]And Yache came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
[19]Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit:
[20]Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

• For these reasons, the letters of the Apostles give us the Lord's commandments:

2 Peter 3:1-2
[1]This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
[2]That ye 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 Saviour
I Cor 14:37
[37]If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

  • The believers after the Apostles had respect unto all the Records to help us understand all the scriptures are for our instructions in righteousness to uphold the Law.

Ignatius to Philadelphia 5:1-2
.......But your prayer will make me perfect [unto Alahayim], that I may attain unto the inheritance wherein I have found mercy, taking refuge in the Gospel as the flesh of Yache and in the Apostles as the presbytery of the Church.
5:2 Yea, and we love the prophets also, because they too pointed to the Gospel in their preaching and set their hope on Him and awaited Him; in whom also having faith they were saved in the unity of Yache Christ, being worthy of all love and admiration as holy men, approved of Yache Christ and numbered together in the Gospel of our common hope.

8:2 Because I have heard of some who say; unless I find it written in the charters, I will not believe it to be written in the Gospel. And when I said, It is written; they answered me, That remains to be proved.

  • Some didn't believe the Gospel just as some struggle to believe today: 

9:2 But the Gospel hath a singular preeminence in the advent of the Saviour, even our Lord Yache Christ, and His passion and resurrection. For the beloved Prophets in their preaching pointed to Him; but the Gospel is the completion of immortality. All things together are good, if ye believe through love.

​

The Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians chapter 2:19-20
19 Let us therefore serve him in fear, and with all reverence as both himself hath commanded; and as the Apostles who have preached the Gospel unto us, and the prophets who have foretold the coming of our Lord have taught us.

  • In closing, the laws were revealed unto Moses and the fullness of the understanding of the laws and the rest of the commands are being revealed by Yache the Lawgiver of Judah (Gen 49:10) through his Prophets, Apostles and disciples in these end times.
