"On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets".
Jesus meant the Law of the Spirit, which given that the Word was God with can be written in terms of God, the Son. This is implied in the covenant so the Father Son relationship has its bearing upon it; The Law is also delineated on the basis that the Word was with God. Here it is 'after our likeness" and it signifies the Word become flesh.
All the law mentioned in the key verse refers to the Law of Moses and laws of nature. We shall mention that the withering of the fig tree pertains to the law of nature being subservient to the Law that Jesus signified. The Law of Moses specify that cursed is anyone who hangs upon a tree but Jesus Christ was not just any man but represented the fulfilment of the Law. He was the Man component in the everlasting covenant. (Matt.21:18-20)
Now what does the first commandment refer to? "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." The Law of the Spirit honoured God which was what we saw the four beasts as doing. "( "and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy,LordGod Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come./And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever," Re.6:8-9)
Without the whole heart the law observed by the nation of Israel was inadequate.
The second commandment applied to himself. No greater love has anyone than one who give his life for his friends. It is what Jesus demonstrated with his life. "And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." The second is like unto it. It connects with the Law 'after our likeness." Israel kept Us vs. Them but Jesus spares no effort to show such division showed their blindness. The Parable of the Good Samaritan for instance. (Matt.23:15)
