*Law # 86 ~ BOOK TWO: THE BOOK OF LOVE OF THE MOST HIGH (Law of Circumcision)

Law #86 To circumcise all males on the eighth day after their birth

Lev. 12:3 “And in the eighth day (after giving birth to a male child), the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.” This is more than a Law. It was a part of the Covenant established with Abraham in Gen. 17:10, generations before Moses was born. We were instructed to circumcise our male child before a Law was ever given. Why? Gen. 17:11 says, “It shall be a token of the Covenant between Me and you.” We were sanctified as His people before the Law. Before there was a standard of righteousness to abide by, we were still His chosen. This is His mercy & grace because even if you are not aware of His Laws, you are still His chosen, although ignorant of the fact.

*Law # 85 ~ BOOK TWO: THE BOOK OF LOVE OF THE MOST HIGH (Law of Blessings)

Law #85 To bless the Almighty after eating

Deut. 8:10 “When thou has eaten and are full, then thou shalt bless the Most High for the good land which He has given you. “ We were commanded to bless the Most High after every meal in a time when the Israelites expected to soon enter into the land. They were also told not to forget His Commands in doing so. Blessing the Most High after eating is not just about the food but about remembering everything the He has provided for His people. When you bless Him after eating, make certain to remember the same.

*Law # 84 ~ BOOK TWO: THE BOOK OF LOVE OF THE MOST HIGH (Law of Tzitzit/Fringes)

Law #84 To have tzitzit on four-cornered garments 

Num. 15:38-40 [Speak unto the children of Israel, and tell them to make fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and put upon the fringe of the borders a ribbon of blue… that you may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Most High, and do them; and that you seek not after your own heart and your own eyes…and be sanctified unto Me.]

Similar to Law #26, The Israelite nation is commanded to make tassels with a blue thread and put them on the corners of their garments throughout their generations. The tassel has 4 purposes: So when we look upon it we’re reminded to remember the Commandments, to do the Commandments, not to put our will before the Most High’s will and to differentiate us from the world. The tassels on our garments are a sign that we are a nation different from any other nation.
