The Last Six Commandments

"If the ten commandments are the foundation of God's Government, or throne, what relation do the last six sustain to the Government of Heaven?"

There can be but one answer to the above. If the ten commandments are the foundation of God's Government, the last six must sustain the same relation to the Government of Heaven that the first four do. The ten commandments are the law of God. His Government is as extensive as the universe, and therefore includes Heaven. And since God's Government must in all places be administered in accordance with his law, it follows that that law must be the rule of Heaven. This means not simply a part of the law, but the whole, for the law is a unit.
