“Does NOT even NATURE itself TEACH you that IF a man
has long hair, it is a dishonor to him? But if a woman has long
hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a
covering”
(I Corinthians 11:14-15;
cf. verse 6

It is very sad to see the end result of disobeying these teachings for it

(Leviticus 19:37).
The statutes and judgments commanded here were to remain with God’s chosen people all
through human life.
The Three Elijahs
of the Ten Commandments. In addition, he was also to preach the observance of the Statutes and
Judgments as well.
This can easily be seen by moving forward to the end-time in which
God would send His prophet, the Elijah to come, to restore the laws of
God given through His prophet Moses:
“REMEMBER the law of Moses, My servant, which I com-
manded him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and the
judgments”
(Malachi 4:4)
.
Diversity and Purity of the Creation
The ancient Elijah

God, so did John the

(cf. Luke 1:17)
.
The end-time Elijah
was commissioned to

The laws found here, and related Scriptures found elsewhere, are based on the fact that God has
made DISTINCTIONS in the natural world which is wrong for man to obliterate by inter-mixing.
