#1
Innocence |
Exodus 20
1And God spake all these words, saying, 2I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
|
Man kills God.
|
John 19
13When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews,
|
God is ultimate government over man (Israel); vs. Man (Pilate) is ultimate government over God (Jesus).

Self Awareness |
54Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God,
|
Behold your King!
|
God presents self as King in both.

Government |
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
|
15But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him.
|
Penalty from those that hate God and the Jews hate Jesus enough to kill him.
|
| | |
#4
Promise |
6And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me,
|
Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King?
|
God will show mercy to them that love Him; Pilate offers the Jews a chance to show mercy to God (Jesus).
|

Law |
and keep my commandments.
|
The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
|
Also, mercy to those that keep God’s commandments (no crucifixion in God’s law); Jews want the laws of King Caesar so they can crucify Jesus.

Grace -in- |
7Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in (uselessness) vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in (uselessness) vain.

16Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. 17And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: 18Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
19And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. 20This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. 21Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. 22Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
23Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. 24They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. 25Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. 26When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 27Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. 28After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. 29Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. 30When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

The name of God/Jesus is all over in here as well as name changes for people.
God will (punish) not hold man guiltless vs. a guiltless God (Jesus) punished (kill) by guilty man.
Summing up:
God to man relationship in Exodus vs. man to God relationship in John. Man is so tired of seeing God that they kill Him (Jesus).

God's Rule |
8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
|
31aThe Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,)
|
Dealing with the days of the week and the Sabbath (7th) day: rest/no work.

The man to man part of the Ten Commandments.

#2 - #6
Man’s Rule |
12Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13Thou shalt not kill.
14Thou shalt not commit adultery.15Thou shalt not steal.
16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

Man kills man.
|
31b(The Jews) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken
away. 32Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified
with him.
|
Exodus: The laws for man governing over man,
vs.
John: The judgment that man brings upon the men that break the law.
|

|
After all that God has done for man, this is what man thinks about God.

Man in the Presents of God
|
18And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
19And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. 20And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. 21And the people stood afar off,
|
After all that God has done for man, this is what man thinks about God.
|
33But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
|
God offers Himself to man and man say he would rather have another man. Both a good man and evil men are chosen instead of God.
Man walks away from God and man walk to a dead God: same result, no God.
