A Basket of Figs
Some Assembly Required

There are four handles and four sides second row emphasized by the figs. Five sets of four for a total of twenty,it is four layers deep with four figs.
Throughout this site you will always notice that the 10 commandments are always referenced it is no coincidence God places the highest value on them. Obedience to them all, are important to him. To get into heaven without his help you have to be sure not to break even one. If we concluded without his help we have already broken number one.
The handles that carry them all is the first commandment. “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3.
The second one is emphasized, when number one is gone this is the next logical progression into the abyss and separation from God. It also makes up the sides of our basket which without could not hold fruit. This one is emphasized by not only the figs but the overall count 20 highlighted by 4. “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:” Exodus 20:4 There are 5 sets of 4. Equally as important in this one which Oprah really struggles with. “Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;” Exodus 20:5. I am sure glad she has no children.
The Third you hear it all the time at work, in Hollywood on the little screen and the big screen. It’s never Jehovah or Buddah, Mohamed or for that matter even Allah. It is always Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is not a swear word. It is the name of the Son of the most High God who has inherited all of God’s eternal kingdom. “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” Exodus 20:7
