God of Law and Order

Truly, we are in the age of lawlessness – lawlessness implies a lack of order. In the Scriptures, God has always placed great emphasis on His Law and Order. The Law has always been represented by the number 10, and Order the number 12 [Government]. Where God's laws, truths and order are disregarded, treated with contempt and even ignored, then lawlessness will set in to cause destruction. The devil has after all tried for thousands of years for mankind to exchange God's truth for a pseudo "truth" and "reality" (Romans 1), urging and prompting the citizens of the earth to follow their own moral compass that only points to a direction of apostasy, lawlessness and disorder. This is demonstrated by 2000 years of wars, conflict, bloodbaths, moral corruption, tyranny and the relentless drive to see mankind exalt the "Self" above the will of God. God is a God of order. This is the reality. He is not a lawless God. Still today we run the risk of stepping out of God's order and becoming lawless ourselves because of our misconceptions of, for example, the Law of Moses. Indeed, we may not be under the Law, but even before the Law in the days of Moses, God has always been a God of Law and Order. And despite being under the New Covenant, His Law and Order still exists. This volume of work explores, therefore, the themes of law and order, based on Scripture.
