The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

753. Law—A) A body of rules, prescriptions and proscriptions, and social and moral codes, as well as policies that constitute government. B) Regulations that establish and maintain order in a land or organization. C) That which restrains evil and wrongdoing and promotes wholesomeness and obedience. Laws not only include prohibitions, what should not be done, but penalties for their disobedience. The purpose of law is for the protection of the rights and liberties of a community, to assure safety and prosperity of a land, kingdom, and its people. The Bible’s use of the word law means to convey the idea of a body of rules and regulations that direct, teach, instruct, and produce the fountain of life. See Proverbs 13:14. Another goal of law from God’s perspective is fear of the Lord and the law of life. 754. Law of Moses—Originally the Ten Commandments, the entire evolution of statutes, commandments, testimonies, and ordinances handed down by God to His people. Moses was the first recipient of this body of codes for divine living, service, labor, and worship. The Bible has numerous laws that God identified for His people to isolate and treat every aspect of their behavior, conduct, desires, emotions, and reactions in His land. Leviticus 7:37: “This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings.” The Beast, Leviticus 11:46: “This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth.” 755.
