Midrash on Sin and the Ten Commandments

I think there’s a natural conscience in men. That’s what the second and third chapters of Genesis mean. It’s just, that conscience gets blurry when people start to try and justify sin. And that creates confusion, where people can’t understand right from wrong, which leads to corruption, violence, and even wars, plagues and famines as judgments from God.

So the 10 Commandments weren’t to say, “This is so because God said it.” God magnified His word above His name. His law is involuble, even by Himself. Like a King in Ancient Babylon or Persia, they didn’t go back on their decrees. God can’t contradict His law.

What is true, is that there were two covenants. One given to the Jews, through Moses, which was to largely condemn the world of its sin—it’s an indictment and judgment against the whole world, if you read it, which is why the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy have such cringy laws, that seem to support genocide and slavery, as those are the judgments of God measured out against all sin, against every nation. Which further gets described in the Prophets, the judgments they will suffer. Up to and including Israel, Judah and Ephraim. So, the Curse of the Law is judgment against all sin, and only Christ could Live according to that sinless, and thereby become Corban as our Sacrifice for sins, like Abrahm was promised at Jehovah-Jireh God would provide the Sacrifice in stead of Isaac.

The Second Covenant or New Covenant prophesied in Jeremiah and Isaiah and Ezekiel, is through Abraham’s seed, so it’s the Seed that blesses all the nations. It’s a new law, therefore a new priesthood, under the order of Melchizedek, therefore a Priesthood outside of Levi, and given to David’s sprout, as is prophesied by Zechariah, that Jesus would reign both Priest and King, which was unlawful when Uziah did it, while he was stricken with leprosy. And this New Covenant is extended to the Gentiles, and is a law of Natural Religion, and atonement in the sacrefice of Christ Jesus's blood. Not paid for oblations to God in empty ritual, but rather through moral adherence and charity toward one another. And as Ezekiel said, “I gave them statutes which were not good, and laws by which they could not live.” Those laws relating to War and the judgment of the nations, which Israel was tasked to do, but failed, therefore Judgment was forfeited from Israel and given to God’s Son.
