"In Zech. 5:1-4 the prophet beheld a "flying roll; the length thereof. . . twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits."
The Lord said to him: "This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth." This roll represents all the curse that is upon the face of the whole earth.
Q: And what is the cause of this curse over the face of the whole earth?
A: This: "For every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it."
---That is, this roll is the law of God,
---and one commandment it 
cited from each table,
---showing that both tables of the law are included in the roll.
---Every one that stealeth–every one that transgresseth the law in the things of the second table–shall be cut off as on this side of the law according to it;
---and every one that sweareth–every one that transgresseth in the things of the first table of the law–shall be cut off as on that side of the law according to it.
The heavenly recorders do not need to write out a statement of each particular sin of every man, but simply to indicate of the roll that pertains to each man, the particular commandment that is violated in each transgression.
And that such a roll of the law does go with every man wherever he goes, and even abides in his house, is plain from the next words: "I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house.
And unless a remedy shall be found, there that roll of the law will remain until the curse shall consume that man, and his house, "with the timber thereof and the stones thereof;" that is, until the curse shall devour the earth in that great day when the very elements shall melt with fervent heat. For "the strength of sin" and the curse "is the law." 1 Cor. 15:56. But, thanks be to God, "God sent forth His Son, made. . . under the law, to redeem them that were under the law." Gal. 4:4, 5.
By His coming He brought redemption to every soul who is under the law. "A.T.Jones
