Exodus - 47 - Exod. 20:12 - Lesson 12 Part 2 - Honor Parents and Preserve a Godly Society

LESSON 12 PART 2

Join us in lesson 12 part 2.  Come and continue to delve into a study of a truly unique commandment of the Lord that He decided was critical for all Israel and us, as true disciples of Adonai Yeshua.  Our parents attain a status that no one else in the Bible can attain, ever.  It speaks volumes to us of how a good and just and Godly society itself can survive.  It focuses on mom and dad. 

It is interesting that the is the only commandment with a “reward.”  Let’s look at it again.

"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the LORD your God gives you.

(Exo 20:12)

Is this a reward?  Sure seems like it.  But, perhaps it is more than a reward for each us if we obey.  Perhaps it is a reason to obey this commandment?  Perhaps it is the way for preserving a righteous society and a godly nation.  When we put this in its historical context it seems like this is what’s going on.  God in His TORAH, His teaching, is teaching the world how to preserve and maintain a righteous, Godly, and just society.  It seems to make sense.

 

I also highly recommend the following articles.  I provide their links and they will add and enhance your study as we try and figure out how to honor our dads and moms and what this has to do with the good world and a Godly society.
