The Hope of Israel: What Is It? 53
by man's 'rash' action of course improperly come into the
Bible, the Mosaic Law cannot truly be a part of the Bible.
Accordingly, put it out. This is the logic of the teaching
of these Premillennialist leaders. And there can be no
escape from this logical destruction of the Pentateuch
under their teaching. To the extent of striking at the
authority of the Mosaic Law, no Modernism could be
worse.
"Moreover it is the most aggravated impiety and irreverence
to teach that God having proposed to men a covenant,
a Law, that they could act 'rashly' in giving heed
to His proposition and accepting it.
"God had just led the Jews out of Egypt by the strength
of His mighty arm. They were not in a position from any
standpoint to make law for themselves, and moreover, the
Mosaic Law was not only the necessary State law for the
Jewish nation which God Himself was to govern, but it
was a revelation from God of Himself, of His moral law,
and of His plans both for Jew and Gentile. It contains
the prophecies of the coming Messiah, the Ten Commandments,
the Levitical System typefying the Atonement of
Christ. The Mosaic Code is the foundation for the entire
Bible.
"And God led the Jews to Sinai to receive His Law.
Under most sublime and awe-inspiring conditions was
Moses called up into the mount to receive it for them.
And he was commanded to teach it to them (Ex. 24:12).
Moreover, it was the duty of the Jews to receive it
(Deut.
4:13-14). The Mosaic Law was God's commands, was
His Law. And had the Jews failed willingly to accept it,
this would simply have been rebellion."
Beyond all question, when God offered to the children
of Israel the covenant of Sinai, it was with the
intention that they should accept it
and faithfully observe
it; and beyond all question, the law He gave
them at the beginning of their history as a nation has
been an unspeakable blessing to them, with incidental
benefits to other nations.
