3,335 Years Prior our Creator God gave us the 10 Commandments! Today is an Anniversary!

Moses received the 10 commandments from Yahweh God on Mount Sinai in/around 1312 B.C.

The Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) for Christians arrives some 50 days after Passover!

At sunset today (it's happening now in my venue) Moses was at Mount Sinai and he received the 10 Commandments (two tablets) from our Creator God. This transcendent God was called I AM that I AM (or Yahweh). When this happened in 1312 BC (give or take), Israel and Gentiles (all the sons/daughters of Noah) received a Moral Code which we all recognize as a 'transcendent' message (code) from a Higher Intelligence.

This transcendent moral code was given so that everyone could develop behavior which is productive and beneficial for our social relationships. Moses was a messenger of this Creator God and this date (1312 BC) has gone down in history as the start of this festival of Shavuot. This date goes down in history as a date when the Old Testament (Torah) was verbally communicated to Moses and when the 10 Commandments were communicated to mankind. 

Here are those 10 Commandments which Moses received from Yahweh God:

The seven (7) Noahide laws are similar and gives us more evidence of a transcendent source:

The Noahide Laws are meant for non-Israelites mostly but the moral code which Moses received on Mount Sinai is rather similar. The big no-no is IDOLS and/or worshiping false Gods. The idea of these moral codes is that ONE Creator God was the originator of these principles. Mankind has mostly adopted this moral code for most social relationships (with variations). Is any of this still valid for 2023?

Personally, I learned these moral principles when I was a youth. I recognized them as more than words of man. For me they were words given by our Creator God via select messengers. Moses was a messenger, Noah was a messenger. When Yeshua arrived and started his ministry (some time around 29 A.D.) he recognized these principles as still valid for mankind IMO. The moral code was not eliminated by this messenger of Yahweh God (IMO).

My sense is that this moral code is meant to last for all the years that mankind lives on this planet. It probably started with Adam/Eve and then was reinforced by Noah and then by Moses after Sinai. Some claim that this moral code was fulfilled with the ministry of Yeshua. The message of Paul in the New Testament does seem to present a new moral code which is different from that of Moses. Did Yeshua desire to eliminate the Law (the 10 commandments) of Moses?

Many believers do believe that the Law of Moses and also the Code of Noah were abolished with the ministry of Yeshua (29 - 33 A.D.). My personal belief is that is is not valid theology. When I read the words of scripture I get the message that the 10 commandments are still valid today. I , personally, do not think that Yeshua/Jesus desired to abolish the Law of Moses as given within the 10 commandments. My evidence is the following:

As of today, heaven and earth have NOT passed away. This seems to support my view that the MORAL LAW of Moses and also that of Noah are still valid for believers today. Today, is an anniversary of the giving of the 10 commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai. It seems relevant that we all should give this day some solemn adherence. Our Transcendent God is still active within our material universe. We are the clay and our Source is the POTTER. That is my viewpoint.

It would be interesting to visit Mount Sinai. Many scholars are now saying that this Mount is located in today's Saudi Arabia, not Egypt. The evidence is growing for the Saudi location. It's amazing that we still have some evidence of this historical event which happened some time around 1312 B.C. All this adds credence to the view that Moses was a real person and his Moral Code was also real.

Many believers still think that the history of the Exodus and of Moses in the Wilderness are valid history. Moses, apparently, died on Mount Nebo in today's nation of Jordan. 

History is interesting as our planet has preserved evidence of many events which most teachers do not fully comprehend. It appears that the history of Moses, the Law, Mount Sinai, and Mount Nebo could be solid evidence that this history was valid. Think for yourself on all these issues.
