I am here with you, my dear sister in Christ, and I am Moses of
the Old
Testament. I have come upon the prompting of our Master, Jesus,
as he sees
that you are in condition to receive a little of what I would like
to write
about - and that is the subject of the Hebrews being the "chosen
people."
You understand that at the time that I lived on earth, the collective
soul
development of humankind was not very progressed, and we struggled
as a
social group of people in our attempt to live in harmony with one
another.
The natural love was the only power we had available to us to keep
us
together, and focused on helping one another succeed in the harsh
times; and
this love was just not sufficient to rise above the evils which
existed
within the hearts and minds of all the people, Hebrew or otherwise.
The Will of God was (as it is now) that we, as His children, receive
His
Love and become at-one with Him through love; and thus God allowed
through
His ministers, and His Spirit of Care and Mercy, to make me to realize
that
there must be some order by which we could bring ourselves into
harmony with
Him and with one another. God had only our human love to use to
inspire us
to follow in His ways, and so He passed on to us this code of behavior
so
that we would know how interact with one another to bring peace
and
prosperity to our people.
The natural "familial bonds" -- love of mother for child,
husband for wife,
brother for sister -- made it easier for us to manifest love towards
one
another; and thereby God manipulated these bonds as a means by which
a
tribe, so bound by blood and rites of worship, could keep these
commandments
that came to us.
It was difficult to bring others, who were not bound by such loyalties,
to
accept the ethical codes we enforced upon ourselves; and as you
see in our
history, even the Hebrews needed to be reminded of these, again
and again,
by succeeding prophets and teachers.
So you see how we may have evolved this sense that God chose one
specific
people to carry out His Will, when it was really a result of the
natural
love at work within the human soul that effectively brought us "as
a people"
into obedience with God's Will, through our obedience to Hebraic
law. We
understand that God loves all His children equally, and this was
no less
true in my days on earth as it is now, but it was easier, and even
possible,
to keep a group of people faithful to the "laws of God,"
as we believed them
to be, when that group had the bond of family and culture.
There were those who came to the Hebrew people willingly to adopt
our way of
life, such as Ruth, but it was not common to leave one's family
to go into a
tribe of strangers. Survival depended upon the protection and care
of the
tribe, and such as the times were, it was important to consider
these things
when choosing how one lived.
Jesus affirms that when he studied the Hebrew texts and learned
the Law, he
felt God's Spirit of Divine Love behind the Law, this Love being
His Will.
And because he had prayed for and received this Love, it was as
if the words
disappeared, and there was a living law in its place: Love one another
as I
have Loved you, with the Divine Love.
For you understand that Jesus loved his brothers and sisters as
God loved
him, and he brought the truth to light. As such, true Christianity
was born,
but much needs to be taught in the place of the mere natural laws
that were
prescribed by God in my time. Now, the truth of the highest Love
available
to the souls of humankind needs to be made known -- through its
manifestation. Bring the Divine Love of God to the world, my children,
and
in you God will be well pleased.
I love you, my sister in Christ, and I am your brother and friend,
Moses of the Old Testament.
