The author explores these questions from a biblical perspective. Dr. Thiel uses scriptures from both the Old and New Testaments that define "lawlessness". Lawlessness is defined Biblically as violations of God's laws as opposed to violation of mankind's laws. And even though refusal to keep God's commanded Holy Days, for example, are a form of "lawlessness". In this book Dr. Thiel focuses on the violation of any one of the Ten Commandments as being an act of lawlessness. It is this violation that leads to death and is a determining factor in Matthew 7:23 when Jesus declares He never knew those...
The author explores these questions from a biblical perspective. Dr. Thiel uses scriptures from both the Old and New Testaments that define "lawlessness". Lawlessness is defined Biblically as violations of God's laws as opposed to violation of mankind's laws. And even though refusal to keep God's commanded Holy Days, for example, are a form of "lawlessness". In this book Dr. Thiel focuses on the violation of any one of the Ten Commandments as being an act of lawlessness. It is this violation that leads to death and is a determining factor in Matthew 7:23 when Jesus declares He never knew those who practice lawlessness: Matt 7:23 And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' There is no other definition in the Bible of lawlessness than disobeying the Ten Commandments or any other commandment of God. The key word in Matthew 7:23 is the word "practice", which indicates an intentional disregard for the law of God.
Dr. Thiel uses scriptures from the Old Testament to show the Ten Commandments were actually laws that were in force prior to Mt. Sinai. He goes on to use additional scriptures that show Jesus kept the Ten Commandments and even shows how He expanded the clarification of the spiritual aspect the law. The author then continues to provide verses that point to the fact that the commandments were obeyed even after the Messiah's crucifixion. Still other verses prove the Sabbath and other commandments will be obeyed during the Millennium and beyond, even after the creation of the new heaven and new earth.
There is a "mystery of lawlessness" that is explored in 2 Thessalonians. Dr. Thiel provides the verses that show this mystery was already at work when Paul was ministering. How is this mystery of lawlessness tied to the Beast "of the sea" in the book of Revelation? Dr. Thiel provides scriptures that reveal the fact that the relationship between Satan, the Beast of the sea, and the Antichrist is centered around violation of the Ten Commandments and their persecution of all that refuse to violate God's laws.
Perhaps one of the strongest points this reader took away from the book is this verse:
1 John 2:3-4 3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
If I say I know Jesus, and don't keep His commandments, I am a liar! That gives me pause to think.
Whatever your thoughts are about the Ten Commandments whether you thought the Ten Commandments were "nailed to the cross", thought the 4th one was changed in Acts 15, thought they do not have to be observed at all, or even if you believe all 10 are still valid today, this book is worth the time it takes to read.
