The Ten Commandments
And God spoke all these words, saying,
“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
“You shall have no other gods before me.
You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery.
“You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
“You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's.” Exodus 20:1-17 (ESV)
Reinforcement of The Ten Commandments
The Lord said to Moses, “Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: ‘Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy.
“‘Each of you must respect your mother and father, and you must observe my Sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.
“‘Do not turn to idols or make metal gods for yourselves. I am the Lord your God.
“‘When you sacrifice a fellowship offering to the Lord, sacrifice it in such a way that it will be accepted on your behalf. It shall be eaten on the day you sacrifice it or on the next day; anything left over until the third day must be burned up. If any of it is eaten on the third day, it is impure and will not be accepted. Whoever eats it will be held responsible because they have desecrated what is holy to the Lord; they must be cut off from their people.
“‘When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner.
I am the Lord your God. Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not deceive one another.
“‘Do not swear falsely by my name and so profane the name of your God. I am the Lord.
“‘Do not defraud or rob your neighbor.
“Do not hold back the wages of a hired worker overnight.
“‘Do not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block in front of the blind, but fear your God. I am the Lord.
“‘Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly.
“‘Do not go about spreading slander among your people.
“‘Do not do anything that endangers your neighbor’s life. I am the Lord.
“‘Do not hate a fellow Israelite in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in their guilt.
“‘Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord. “‘Keep my decrees.’” Leviticus 19:1-19 (NIV)
The barbaric manner in which Hamas invaded Israel and the subsequent war has continued to fuel dismay, discussion, and quite controversial discourse as well as competing confrontations on campuses and in the public arena. An anti-Israeli contingent even stormed the Capital last week and several protestors were arrested during the incident. This single initial horrific invasion and Israel’s follow through have continued to capture the attention of millions of people around the world, not just those whose lives are being directly affected by the terrorism and the reaction to the terrorism in Israel.
It is understandable that the nearly immediate public mobilization of pro-Palestinian, anti-Israeli, and anti-American protests was not entirely spontaneous. As the “sleeping giant” of hatred for Jews and anti-Semitiism awakened with a start not long after the attacks on Israel on October 7th. Americans who don’t usually take sides in such Jewish-Muslim disputes, may wonder why all of the so-called “anti-hate” groups of the Left’s many front groups were not out in full force protesting such an explosion of hatred. This is basically because the Leftist groups that protest against “hate” are mainly protesting against the people or organizations that are trying to expose the Left’s hatred and intolerance. But, their hate is not really hate. Ask, and you’ll be set straight.
Yet, the Left’s “anti-hate” front groups cannot bring themselves to hate the haters of Hamas, as the murder of babies and cutting the heads of of children is not a display of grisly hatred in their enlightened view. This fact in itself, the lack of condemnation of the brutal butchery of human beings is quite telling In that these designated “anti-hate” organizations have no objective view of hate. The definition is subjective, meaning whatever they decide it means at any given time. Their definition of hate relates to what they determine it relates to. It is also changeable – not rooted in truth or reality. Like all attempts of the Left to re-define reality, it is subjective truth according to one-sided, distorted perspectives, which do not allow for reality outside of one’s self-blown bubble.
On the other end of the moral slide rule, as mentioned in the message of last week, “The Devil has his say,” murder is murder. However, when it is politically motivated, it is up for redefinition. When murder is not murder, such “truth” must originate within those who claim to be Muslims with or without knowing what a Muslim truly believes. However, I have it from a reliable source, murder is still murder within the civilized segments of human society – meaning where ethics and morality matter.
In such a time as this, the standards of morality are being shaken by the very ones who have no concept of morality or of truth, nor any healthy or meaningful concept of the difference between right and wrong. They do not know the difference between what is good and what is evil. And, it is quite likely that their truth is an inversion of the truth and sourced from the ancient father of lies. What is scary is that there is the appearance of so many who eat the fruit of deception and falsehood, and lies. This time is ripe for divine intervention. God help us in such a time as this.
The LightWing Messages this Sunday attempts again to provide some perspective of the larger dimension of what is happening in such a time as this. There is only one featured message today – take it or leave it. I have prayed a great deal about the condition of this haggard old world we inhabit and several themes have become apparent to me. These themes are not complicated and have reverberated throughout time. They are able to be gleaned as lessons from God’s intervention in human affairs or His Providence through history. The message is long (nearly 1700 words) as I had a lot to unpack. I hope readers can get through it, if not in one reading, maybe in digestible bits and pieces over time.
In any case, those who tune in this Wednesday, we will offer another session on this message offered today. Our Zoom call this past Wednesday with a focus on the invasion of Israel brought forth a lot of thought and thoughtful questions from those who could participate. We even could touch on the different focus of the Torah, or the Old Testament and the New Testament. Indeed the events in these times are so turbulent and they try the souls of the best of us.
Readers can partake in this upcoming Zoom call on Wednesday and participate (or just listen) in our discussion, by please reaching out. Readers who are interested in receiving the Zoom link to the call are asked to please send an email request to this address: d.jamzon@gmail.com

These words are being freely offered to you – intended to shine light unto our paths, as written: “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Proverbs 29:18 - KJV
May God bless all of our readers and all of their loved ones. May God bless America!
May we, who are called by His name, approach our Father in Heaven in humility and seek not just His face, but His heart and His mind as well – to honestly seek to know Him more deeply and resist deceptions and lies that are intended to multiply evil in our hearts or in our midst. May we all turn away from our wicked ways. May we seek His Kingdom and His righteousness as we were told. May we take this much more seriously in such times.
The devil holds sway over his own…
By Dennis Jamison
In last week’s message, “The Devil has his say,” I started by stating that “Satan has had an ongoing war on God’s children from the very beginning of human history, and one cannot assume that this onslaught is diminishing, especially by the evidence in the world we witness in our time.” Satan intended to deceive God’s children then, and he continues to do so in this day. The fundamental difference is that Jesus exposed Satan as the “father or lies.” However, his words were directed at the leadership of the Hebrew society in his time. When one reads the book of Matthew in chapter 23, there is a blinding light of the blast of truth from the son of God. He was forced to confront those whom he referred to as children of “your father, the devil” and he clarifies that “you want to carry out your father’s desires.”
This is a difficult statement to consider in light of the recent atrocities in Israel. However, in light of the recent atrocities within the nation of Israel, one can see the true nature (true colors) of the “players” shining forth for all the world to see. The people who have accepted, condoned, even cheered the murders of babies, young people, and women (some elderly), have revealed what kind of human beings they are. They are Satan’s children, and support the will of evil in this world. If one thinks it a bit harsh to shine the brilliant light of truth across the face of darkness, so be it, but truth is truth. Some in this old troubled world prefer lies to truth, so for them, there is not much excuse. But, this brings up a couple of key points in the clarity regarding the Cosmic Battle between Good and Evil.
First: Each individual will be put into a position, either by their own doing, or by the Providence of God, whether one approves of their father’s desires, intent, and actions or rejects such. By their approval, of one or the other, it will also reveal who their father is, as it was conveyed in Jesus’ judgment from Matthew 23. Second: Jesus stated emphatically that people were either for him or against him. He did bring judgment upon those who opposed him. This reveals the process of judgment from Heaven that Jesus was able to impose, and he strongly called out those who revealed their evil fruit during his first advent.
James Russell Lowell, in his poem, “The Present Crisis” wrote: “Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide, in the strife of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil side…” His
poem, was converted into the Christian hymn named after the opening lines: Once to Every Man and Nation.” Lowell’s poem also reveals the Cosmic B battle and reveals the process of God’s judgment of each individual according to what we believe and how we act upon that which we believe. By the choices of what we support, we demonstrate what we value. All who support murder, have aligned against the Ten Commandments, and it reveals clear alignment against Jesus. It also represents an alignment against God because He gave the truths of the Ten Commandments to the Hebrew people as they finally escaped slavery in Egypt.
God provided the Ten Commandments to the Hebrew people because they had only known slavery for a period of 400 years. The people needed a moral code to help them in the creation of a new nation. That nation was Israel. The people of that nation were meant to teach the Ten Commandments to their children and pass the code of ethics and morality on through the ages to their descendants. Thus, those who understand right from wrong usually have a religious upbringing of one sort or another. But, there is no absolute cause and effect relation between religious upbringing and the ability or the will to discern the difference between good and evil. Another stanza in Lowell’s poem, reveals a fundamental difference in the human character:
Then to side with truth is noble,
When we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit,
And 'tis prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses
While the coward stands aside,
Till the multitude make virtue
Of the faith they had denied.
Not everyone who has had some form of religious training will be able to choose truth over lies as the condition of fear cripples people, as shown in many tragic examples of history. One very well known example of failure to stand up for the truth, is the failure of the Christian community to speak out when the Nazi government was perpetrating their horrific crimes against the Jewish people within their domain. It is one of the fundamental reasons there is a Jewish state today. It comes to mind as the recent atrocities of the Hamas terrorists come to light. Self-silenced and self-stifled Christian ancestors may be actively fueling fear within contemporary cowards who cannot bring themselves to stand against evil today. It is also a possibility that resentful Nazi ancestors may be influencing those who support evil atrocities and the lies to protect evil in such a time as this.
In “The Devil has his say,” I wrote… “In our time, good people have to confront the evil in their midst, and confront means to deal with what has come before them, whether in one’s own self, one’s family, or in the outer society and world…” To deal with evil means to accept the challenge of which side one should choose “in the strife of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil side…” To not deal with the evil on one’s pathway is an act in and of itself. Dietrich Bonhoeffer is often quoted as stating “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” It has been challenged as to whether he said it or not, but this is a case in point. Does one believe in it as truth? Or, does one choose to not believe in it because Bonhoeffer may not have said it. Truth is truth, whether one likes it or not.
Silence in the face of evil is an expression of the acceptance of evil, a toleration of evil itself. It represents an alignment – a choosing. Fear and cowardice can be in control of one’s life, or one can muster courage. This in spite of how one may appear to the neighbors, or how marginalized one may be by the haters, or how it may be quite “inconvenient” or “untimely” for any personal involvement or investment in the fight.
On the other hand, the celebrities, the clerics and clerks of the gods of bureaucracy, the elected politicians and their handlers, the fat cats of the donor class, the media moguls with the minions they employ in tow, are a number of those who seem to be clueless to any difference between good and evil outside of their realms of self-defined reality. They exercise their relative freedom to redefine murder in any number of ways. Lowell acknowledged that evil does have control of its own. Jesus knew it all too well. Evil can snare God’s children in a sort of binding spell that would enable many mindless minions to advocate for murder. If one considers carefully, some of the same type of people, if not the same people in our nation who support the murder of millions of babies within their mother’s wombs each year.
So, why would a moral people be surprised that an immoral people in support of the culture of death would refuse to define murder by Hamas as murder? Or, why would a law-abiding people be surprised that people in support of criminal activity (a wide range of all sorts of crimes comes to mind) would refuse to label terrorists as terrorists. Or, why would people of common sense be surprised that people with little common sense would label the events of J6 an “insurrection,” yet refuse to label the Hamas invasion of a sovereign state as an armed invasion of a sovereign state? The answer may be that the absolute standards of morality have been slip-sliding away into the slimy swamp of the culture of corruption, crime, and conciliation with the culture of decadence and death.
This may be tough to swallow, but the United States of America, founded upon Judeo-Christian morals, has been drifting away from adhering to the absolute standards of morality in the Ten Commandments, or the moral authority of Jesus’ standards of righteousness. That translates into Americans – “We the People” have been lax in holding onto the self-evident truths. Holding onto such Judeo-Christian values cannot be put on automatic pilot, it is not a self-perpetuating process. Holding onto the self-evident truths, protecting and promoting high moral standards is a proactive process.
Americans need to look into the mirrors of their souls to re-examine what we truly believe in and what we cannot afford to lose. That is why American citizens need to get back in touch with our true identity as children of God, as the brothers and sisters under our Heavenly Father. We must be spiritually healthy enough to discern truth from lies and acknowledge the difference between good and evil. If we have lost our identity, we are drifting to Satan’s side. We truly need to get back to our roots; they are there, but citizens have drifted from those roots. Those roots run deep, all the way back to the Middle East. American citizens can reassert their sovereignty by coming back to God’s side and by regaining their tight grip upon the self-evident truths and the freedoms handed down to us by the brave and brilliant people who were unwilling to let go of the rich Judeo-Christian heritage as the foundation of the Republic. This will help the entire world to regain their consciousness and identity as brothers and sisters under our Heavenly Father – one human family under God.
Once to Every Man and Nation
Author: James Russell Lowell (1845)
Tune: EBENEZER (Williams)
Once to Every Man and Nation
1 Once to every man and nation
Comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth with falsehood,
For the good or evil side;
Some great cause, God's new Messiah,
Offering each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever
Twixt that darkness and that light.
2 Then to side with truth is noble,
When we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit,
And 'tis prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses
While the coward stands aside,
Till the multitude make virtue
Of the faith they had denied.
3 By the light of burning martyrs,
Christ, Thy bleeding feet we track,
Toiling up new Calvaries ever
With the cross that turns not back;
New occasions teach new duties,
Time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still and onward,
Who would keep abreast of truth.
4 Though the cause of evil prosper,
Yet 'tis truth alone is strong;
Though her portion be the scaffold,
And upon the throne be wrong:
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow
Keeping watch above His own.
