O you who dwell by many waters, Abundant in treasures, Your end has come, the measure of your covetousness Jeremiah 51:13 Behold, I will stirr up Medes against them Isaiah 13:17-18

The tenth Commandment
We give importance to the many commandments, but many fall in this commandment. "You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor's. Exodus 20:17 This commandment is of great importance among the legislation of the Bible. Paul apostle said "You shall not covet" (Romans 7:7) The tenth command internalizes all of the other commands. It is only this command that can induce any kind of conviction of sin. The unregenerate person without faith may keep the law to a certain extent. But the regenerated person may keep the law to a endless extent. This command is not given good explanation in the Churches. Because all of the namely Christian countries covet the other nations, their natural resources, and their land boundaries. So many wars happening in this world. Many civilian murders happening. Lust of the money is the root of all evils. Lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, Pride of the life are it's branches. The fruits of them are. Crimes. War crimes. In the view of social life a man kills other man or woman for above the sin. If you covet anything of anybody it is leading you to a sin. It may be mortal too. Young believers must not say i love this girl or this boy. It is a sin . Old people do not say i love his wife!!! Or husband!!! They are breaking this law. America covet the petroleum resources of Iraq. Iraq covet the same of Kuwait. So a war was taken place and million people suffered. The millionaires of India covet the lands of Scheduled Tribes of India. So they murdered them. So the tribes retaliated to take the revenge. But they became terrorists. The millionaires become designers of modern dustbin of the world. So do not lust. Your lust make other man to suffer. Your lust make other country to suffer. It is Sin Before the Lord. If they cannot repent from their sin, Lord will punish them in three ways. 1.Sword it means of war, natural calamity 2. Scarcity 3.Plagues. Arise O' Lord Judge this Earth. Save the oppressed. Amen.
