(WSFA) – The large, granite Ten Commandments monument that brought a national spotlight to Alabama nearly two decades ago is coming back to the state’s capital city. The return of the monument isn’t expected to end with any court fight this time around, however, since it’s on private property. Judge Roy Moore and his wife, Kayla, are placing the monument on the first floor of the Foundation for Moral Law, which he founded and she runs as its president.
Moore installed the monument in the Alabama Supreme Court building in 2001, a move that immediately sparked lawsuits and court orders for its removal. His refusal of a federal court order to remove the monument ultimately led to his first removal from the bench in 2003. He sought and regained the chief justice seat in 2013 but was ultimately suspended for defying the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on same-sex marriage in 2016. He resigned the seat a year later for an unsuccessful run for U.S. Senate. READ MORE
In the Genesis story of Joseph (picture of Jesus) became the governor of Egypt, he married an Egyptian wife (picture of gentile church). In the meantime, his brothers and Jacob thought he was dead. All these was Elohim (God) to use Joseph (Jesus) to save the world and in the end to save the family of Jacob.
After the first few meetings, they still did not know the Egyptian governor is Joseph their brother. He required them to bring Benjamin (the only blood brother – picture of his blood followers) and kept Simeon (same root as shema, the LAW) in jail. Until at the end they were told Jesus was their long lost brother who did not die. And Jacob (heel grabber) became Israel (prince of God) indeed.
Simeon (the picture of LAW) would suffer much with fear and trembling until the end. It is very odd but under the law (ten commandments), the tribe of Simeon also suffered very much. They had the highest loss of life in Numbers and one time 24,000 died perhaps as a result of their leadership example of mixing up the pure picture of LAW.
