The Lord # 10
10. In the broadest sense, “the law” means everything in the Word, as we can see from the following passages,
Jesus said, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”?’” (John 10:34, in reference to Psalms 82:6)
The crowd replied, “We have heard from the law that the Christ will abide forever.” (John 12:34, in reference to Psalms 89:29; 110:4; Daniel 7:14)
To fulfill the word written in their law: “They hated me for no reason.” (John 15:25, in reference to Psalms 35:19)
The Pharisees said, “Have any of the leaders believed in him? Only this crowd, that does not know the law.” (John 7:48-49)
It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for the tip of one letter of the law to fall. (Luke 16:17)
“The law” in these passages means the entire Sacred Scripture.
Daniel 12:7
7
And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river; and he held up his right hand and his left hand unto the heavens, and swore by him that liveth for ever that it is for a time, times, and a half; and when the scattering of the power of the holy people shall be accomplished, all these things shall be finished.
