What if the ten Commandments Moses received had a prophetic purpose far more important than a series of dos and don't to be obeyed by the Children of Israel and all who would follow behind them? What if most of the Bible believing world didn't even know where in the Bible the Ten Commandments were located because they put more trust in Bible headings than the Biblical text itself?
Deuteronomy 5, verses 2-3, and 22, specifically say otherwise to the hypothesis put forward in the book. Anyway, Hebrew Exegesis is not always cut and dried, as us westerners like, so there certainly is merit to this writing. If we look to Yeshua, the Word made flesh, He is perfect theology. We are to imitate Him and walk in His steps in every way. And He kept all His Father’s commandments perfectly, and will do so again in us as we permit Him by His grace.
In a concise and logical format, Rabbi Tokajer demonstrates the sequence of events in Moses' encounter with G-d on Mount Sinai. He reveals and connects those events with the Gospels, Paul's letters, and Revelation. All in 50 pages! It's vital to be able to release long held paradigms in order to see the real Truth that the enemy seeks to hide.
Every story sounds good until you hear the other side - Prov 18:17
Captivating thoughts, makes one look at the text carefully to follow the Rabbi's thinking. But, there is NO mention of the account in Deuteronomy 5:1-22 where Moses, after reciting the Exodus 20 "Ten Commandments," clearly says "He [G-d] wrote THEM on two stone tablets and gave them to me."
I think that passage is much clearer that the good Rabbi's Exodus 34 argument.
As a Messianic teacher, this take upon the 10 Devarim bears more study. I like his analogy but would have liked to see some serious studies, footnotes and the like, yet, again, this thought provoking. I believe the only way to study the Word is in context of the original writer(s) and the audience they wrote for. What does the text support? This is the question for all who study. It is a thought that I will look at closer.
I kept telling myself that this man is a Messianic Rabbi and I don’t even have a college degree. Even so, this book bothered me on a lot of levels. 1) It is not a book, it is a long blog post formatted with large print and lots of spacing into a skinny booklet. 2) In retrospect, the title is clickbait. 3) The argument is roughly that the ten commandments we find in Exodus 20 are not the actual ten commandments, but that they are found in Exodus 34:14-26. To me, as a lay reader, the argument read like someone trying to play Twister, and it bothered me a lot. Maybe I am ignorant, but this book sits very badly with me and I can not recommend it.
