~~  The Law of Obedience  ~~


ELOHIM:
Inasmuch as Eve was the first to eat of the forbidden fruit, if she will covenant that from this time forth she will obey the Law of the Lord, and will hearken unto your counsel as you hearken unto mine, and if you will covenant that from this time forth you will obey the Law of Elohim, we will give unto you the Law of Obedience and Sacrifice, and we will provide a Savior for you, whereby you may come back into our presence, and with us partake of Eternal Life and exaltation.

EVE:
Adam, I now covenant to obey the Law of the Lord, and to hearken to your counsel as you hearken unto Father.

ADAM:
Elohim, I now covenant with thee that from this time forth I will obey thy law and keep thy commandments.

ELOHIM:
It is well. Jehovah, inasmuch as Adam and Eve have discovered their nakedness, make coats of skins as a covering for them.

(This was the first animal sacrifice for man's sin, biblically speaking)

JEHOVAH:
It shall be done, Elohim.

NARRATOR:
Brethren and sisters the garment that was placed upon you in the washing room is to cover your nakedness and represents the coat of skins spoken of. The officiator will represent Elohim at the Altar. A couple will now come to the altar.

NARRATOR:
Brethren and sisters, this couple represents all of you as if at the altar. You must consider yourselves as if you were respectively Adam and Eve.

ELOHIM:
We will put each sister under covenant to obey the Law of the Lord, and to hearken to the counsel of her husband, as her husband hearkens unto the counsel of the Father. Sisters, arise.

ELOHIM:
Each of you bring your right arm to the square. You and each of you solemnly covenant and promise before God, angels, and these witnesses at this altar that you will each observe and keep the law of the Lord, and hearken to the counsel of your husband as he hearkens to the counsel of the Father. Each of you bow your head and say "Yes."

WOMEN:
Yes.

ELOHIM:
That will do.

ELOHIM:
Brethren, Arise.

ELOHIM:
Each of you bring your right arm to the square. Each of you solemnly covenant and promise before God, angles, and these witnesses at this altar that you will obey the law of God, and keep his commandants. Each of you will bow your head and say "yes."

MEN:
Yes.

ELOHIM:
That will do.
