The Lost Book of the Seventy-two Commandments

The Ten Commandments have shaped and guided our civilzation for centuries. No other canon or law has exerted similar influence and power on western mind. But these Commandments, as discussed in this introduction, were not the only ones that Moses received from God. There were others too, 72 in total. Why only Ten Commandments came into currency while the rest of them were lost in the Testament is a mystery. Now, since the times are more troubled and things are more complicated, God has revealed all the Commandments in dreams and visions to respond to present crisis.

My first knowledge about the 72 Commandments began in March 1985; I was sitting in my living room, and a big black book appeared on the wall. The cover of the book had a display of a very unusal design, and the book entitled " The Lost Book of the Seventy-two Commandments written in large gold letters. In September 1985 I had a dream that I was walking down a dirt road, and saw a bright light coming from a pond of mossy water. I went to the pond and took a stick and pushed it down in the water, and felt something hard. I put my hands into the water and pulled out an iron chest with a gold key in the lock. I took the chest and sat under a tree, opened it, and found another gold chest with a gold key in the lock, then opened it, and found another smaller gold chest, and opened it and pulled out a small green book, about 6 inches long, the top of the book was round and it entitled the Lost Book of the Seventy- two Commandments written in gold letters. I read the book,and shouted out! " all my life they told me that there are ten Commandments." When I woke up, I did not remember the Commandments.

In October 1990 God revealed the Commandments in dreams and visions, and I wrote them down in my dream book. God said write these Commandments from one to seventy-two, cover one book with goat skin. Think about this! And study psalm seventy-eight, from childhood we were told there were only Ten Commandments. Where are the rest of the Commandments? If you read your Bible, you will realize that most of the Seventy-two Commandments have been established from Jesus, psalmist David and all the prophets through out the Bible. Even term " Commandment" has been used at some places. As mentioned in the beginning of this introduction, it is a mystery why only ten were chosen and the rest were not. Many religious leaders and the people may wonder! Did God really spoke to me? Yes, God not only spoke to me, but also revealed to me the Commandments in dreams and visions, and also inspired me to write them down.

As I mentioned earlier that revelations are either to believe or not to believe, they are hard to prove. However, my claim is strengthened by the mention of the 'word Commandment' in the Bible for some prescription other than the accepted Ten Commandments. Jesus said unto the high priest and Scribes,'have ye never heard out of the mouth of babes and suckling thou hast perfected praise.'

Moses received the Commandments from God on Mount Sinai. And the Lord said unto Moses,"Write thou these words' Moses wrote upon the tablets the words of the covenant the Seventy-two Commandments. In the time of Ezra and Nehemiah it was called "The Law of Moses." A book of the law of Jehovah by the hand of Moses, 'was substantially, it would seems the same volume, though it may afterward have under gone some revision by Ezra and Nehemiah. The present Jews called the whole by the name of Torah, " The law of Moses." Ezra and Nehemiah wrote the revision of the Seventy-two Commandments. The book was made from parchment paper and the cover was made from goat skin. (Nehemiah 1:5-7 ).

The book was now more intelligible to the people. Nehemiah mourned, fasted and prayed to God, and he said, " I beseech thee, O Lord God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love Him and observe His Commandments. We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the Commandments, nor the statues, nor judgements, which thou commandest thy servant Moses." Nehemiah 1:5-7 and chapter 8: 1-16.
