The Lord Is God 32 Ask now about the former days, long before your time, from the day God created human beings on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of? 33 Has any other people heard the voice of God[a] speaking out of fire, as you have, and lived? 34 Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation, by testings, by signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, or by great and awesome deeds, like all the things the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?

Tonight is the 3,333rd anniversary of G-d's revelation of his existence to all of the Jewish people at Mt Sinai. Also the seventh week in the counting of days and weeks that began on the second night of Passover 49 nights ago.
Unlike Charleton Heston's experience, every Jewish man, woman, and child heard G-d speak the first two commandments (encompassing all of the do's and do-not's in the Torah.)
Has such a thing ever happened before? If you cannot make that claim, how do you contradict G-d's commandments?
"But the commandments are for the Jews only!" The 613 commandments in the Torah and their offshoots, observed by Orthodox Jews to this very day, are incumbent upon the Jews. But G-d has His requirements for all civilized nations - ant they include belief in Him alone, and rejection of false deities.
FRiends, let's make it easy. American gentiles are turning from religion because of the multitude of messages they hear from their Catholic/Protestant (thousand of sub-sects) communities. They all need only follow G-d alone. If you want to unite the country, embrace G-d's message for all of humanity. A civil, just, merciful, G-dly society. Why twist into a pretzel when you can hug G-d right now. Return to your Father in Heaven on the day He revealed Himself to humanity.
Grab the hem of your local Orthodox Jew's shirt (look for the strings)-- Zech 8:23 Ask him to teach you Torah. Study the seven basic laws G-d requires of all mankind -

Take an active - yes "works" - an active part in G-d's creation and perfecting of His world until the knowledge of Him covers the earth like the oceans cover the seabed. Hab 2:14.
Chag sameach (Happy holiday) Good yomtov! Rejoice in miracle of Sinai - and shlep your Jewish not-yet-observant friends to synagogue Monday morning to hear the 10 Commandments in Hebrew, chanted as they have been for 3,333 years.

Deuteronomy 4:32-40
New International Version
The Lord Is God
32 Ask now about the former days, long before your time, from the day God created human beings on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of? 33 Has any other people heard the voice of God[a] speaking out of fire, as you have, and lived? 34 Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation, by testings, by signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, or by great and awesome deeds, like all the things the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?
35 You were shown these things so that you might know that the Lord is God; besides him there is no other. 36 From heaven he made you hear his voice to discipline you. On earth he showed you his great fire, and you heard his words from out of the fire. 37 Because he loved your ancestors and chose their descendants after them, he brought you out of Egypt by his Presence and his great strength, 38 to drive out before you nations greater and stronger than you and to bring you into their land to give it to you for your inheritance, as it is today.
39 Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other. 40 Keep his decrees and commands, which I am giving you today, so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live long in the land the Lord your God gives you for all time.

Shavuos, the traditional date of the birth and passing of King David.
I have *found* David...
Psa 89. 21. I have found [מצאתי] David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
Midnight oil, not sold in stores!
Psa 119.62. At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you because of your righteous judgments:
It's just like the midrash, how David knew when it was midnight.
It’s interesting, when one tells time like He taught Ezekiel (ezekiel 46:1), one doesnt arrive at 49 days and 7 Sabbaths.
There are New Moon Days that the Sovereign states weren’t part of His 6 work days or His 7th day Sabbath.
That would mean there are a couple more days than 49.
Which would mean a count to 50 would have to come after the 7 Sabbath’s.
And the Passover Lamb that takes the sins of the world away, hints at that in His parable of the sower.
He uses 30,60,100.
After being delivered by the blood of the Passover Lamb, 30 days later (16th of 2nd), He fed them manna.
After 60 days, He thundered His 10 Commandments, His eternal Covenant Law.
Exodus 19,20
After 100 days (7 Sabbath’s +50 days) He sent Moses down the mount with the 2 tables of the Covenant, the 10 Commandments.
Same day in Exodus 32 where about 3000 were slain. And same day in Acts 2 when the Holy Spirit came down and about 3,000 were saved.
When one counts like Ezekiel was taught, the Old Covenant and the New Covenant share the same pattern, the same Covenant Law.
The same wilderness journey after being delivered.
But the Passover Lamb from about 2,000 years ago gives us greater deliverance, and greater promises.
Judeo Christianity seems to count to 50.
They miss the 60, 100 that the Passover Lamb taught.
Judeo Christianity misses the importance of the Father’s New Moon Day each month.
Ezekiel was taught that it isn’t one of the Father’s 6 works days, or His Sabbath.
And one can never reach exactly 49 days with the Father’s 7 Sabbath’s.
30,60,100 confirms this.
Israel had their own 30,60,100 in the wilderness.
But it seems Israel only gets to 50.
And maybe so does Spiritual Israel.
Interestingly, the 30 represents being fed.
The 60 and 100 represent His Covenant Law, His 10 Commandments.
Hearing them (60), then having them in ones heart.(100)
For those who have ears to hear, let them hear.
When counting like Ezekiel, we are still days away from the 60.
And another 40 after that, of Moses being on the mount.
But that’s not how Judeo Christianity counts today.
