Harvest after watching:
I knew that the Ten Commandments in the Old Testament and also 613 laws were issued for the Israelites to follow before, but I really didn’t know the significance of issuing the laws. But I think I’ve got the answer after watching this video and God's word. The work in the Age of Law is the beginning of God saving man. At that age, the Israelites only knew about food, clothing, shelter, and transportation but they didn’t know Jehovah, God’s will or requirements. So God issued the laws to teach and guide them so they can live orderly and regularly, knowing how to worship God and what sin is etc… This video guides us to know the process of how God leads the development of mankind. Thank God!
Almighty God says, "During the Age of Law, Jehovah laid down many commandments for Moses to pass on to the Israelites who followed him out of Egypt. Jehovah gave these commandments to the Israelites, which were unrelated to the Egyptians, and they were meant to restrain the Israelites, and were His requirements for them. Whether one observed the Sabbath, whether one respected one’s parents, whether one worshiped idols, and so forth, these were the principles by which one was judged sinful or righteous. Whether one was struck by Jehovah’s fire, or stoned to death, or received Jehovah’s blessing, was determined according to whether one obeyed these commandments. Those who did not observe the Sabbath were stoned to death. Those priests who did not observe the Sabbath were smitten by Jehovah’s fire. Those who did not respect their parents were also stoned to death. This was all commended by Jehovah. Jehovah established His commandments and laws so that as He led their lives, the people would listen to and obey His word and not rebel against Him. He used these laws to control the newborn human race, to lay the foundation for His work to come. And so, because of the work that Jehovah did, the first age was called the Age of Law."
