One of the biggest and dangerous lies being preached from the pulpit all over the world is that our Messiah, The Son of YHWH, YESHUA did away with the Torah, which the world knows as The Law! So why did YESHUA point to The Torah when He healed the leper? Mathew 8:2-4
“And see, a leper came, and bowed before Him, saying, “Adonai, if You desire, You are able to make me clean.” And stretching out His hand YESHUA touched him, saying, “I desire it. Be cleansed! And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And YESHUA said to him, “See, mention it to no one. But go your way, show yourself to the Kohen (priest) and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a witness to them.”
Leviticus 14:1-4
“And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, “This shall be the Torah of the leper for the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the Kohen (priest), and the priest shall go out of the camp, and the priest shall look and see, if the leprosy is healed in the leper, then the Kohen shall command, and he shall take for him who is to be cleansed to live and clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet and hyssop.”
What is the gift YESHUA was referring to? Leviticus 1:1-4
“And YHWH called to Moses, and spoke to him from the Tent of Appointment, saying, “Speak to the children of Yisra’el, and say to them, ‘When anyone of you brings an offering to YHWH, you bring your offering of the livestock, of the herd or of the flock. ‘If his offering is a burnt offering of the herd, let him bring a male, a perfect one. Let him bring it at the door of the Tent of Appointment, for his acceptance before YHWH. ‘And he shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.”
We can see that YESHUA pointed back to the Torah concerning the healing of the Leper and YESHUA cleansed Him without the leper having to go through the entire ritual showing His power, but He did tell him to offer the gift as a witness. All of this happened before YESHUA offered up Himself as the Passover Lamb where no more sacrifices would occur after His death. But see how YESHUA pointed to The Torah (Law) the main thing Christianity says is done away with? YESHUA is The Word of YHWH Revelation 19:13. Which is why YESHUA said in Mathew 5:17
“Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the prophets, I did not come to destroy but to complete.”
The John 1:1
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim.”
The Big question
The question I pose is this, is Satan law or lawlessness? We all know that Satan is LAWLESS; therefore, how is Christianity preaching a LAWLESS doctrine that Satan is? Saying YESHUA did away with it? YESHUA and Satan both cannot be lawless, because one is Light and the other is darkness! YESHUA speaks what His Father YHWH told Him to speak and humbled Himself to YHWH to the point of death; because He loves His Father and us. John 3:18-21
“He who believes in Him is not judged, but he who does not believe is judged already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only brought-forth Son of Elohim. And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their works were wicked. “For everyone who is practicing evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light, lest his works should be exposed. But the one doing the truth comes to the Light, so that his works are clearly seen, that they have been wrought in Elohim.”
Proverbs 6:23
“For the Command is a lamp, and the Torah a light and reproofs of discipline a way of life.”
The Torah is a light and YESHUA is The Torah made flesh and The Light that came into the world. Satan hates the Light because of the wickedness he does and wants others to keep doing their evil deeds in the dark and not come to The Light YESHUA, which is why he makes the world say The Torah which is the Light is done away with!
Satan rebelled against The Ways of YHWH and he wants all believers to rebel as well! Do not be like the 1/3 of the angels who rebelled with him because Satan has already been defeated when YESHUA died on the execution stake; therefore, following him results in disaster. YHWH had ONE command for Adam and Eve and that was not to eat or touch the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and through their disobedience to the command brought the fall of man-kind. So what happens if you become the modern day Adam and Eve disregarding The Commandments? John 14:21 “He who possesses My Commands and guards them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and manifest Myself to him “
ELOHIM’s entire creation is under law!
One of the biggest problems is that man-kind through the lies is being taught that the Law or Torah is for the Jews! I love to point out that Abraham kept The Torah before there ever was a Jew, Genesis 26:5
“Because Abraham obeyed My voice and guarded My charge: My Commands, My Laws, and My Torot (Plural for Torah.)
Abraham begot Isaac, Isaac begot Jacob, Jacob begot the 12 tribes of Israel and his son Judah is where the Jews come from.
The following Scriptures are going to point out that all of YHWH’s creation is under law. So did YHWH go to such great lengths to put His entire creation under law and then say to the modern day Christian you are to be the only lawless creation of Mine? Absolutely not! What does Scripture say?
Job 28:26-27
“When He made a law for the rain, and a way for the lightning of thunder then He saw wisdom and declared it; He prepared it and also searched it out.”
Job 38:4-11
“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding. Who appointed its measurements, if you know? Or who stretched the line upon it? Upon what were its foundations sunk? Or who laid its corner-stone, when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of Elohim shouted for joy? Or enclosed the sea with doors, when it burst forth and came from the womb; when I made the clouds its garment, and thick darkness its swaddling band; and assigned for it MY LAW, and put bars and doors; and said, ‘This far you have come, but no farther, and here your proud waves stop?”
Job 38:33
“Do you know the LAWS of the shamayim (heavens)? Or do you apply their rule over the earth? So the heavens are under law and they rule over earth where we humans dwell!
Ezekiel 43:11-12
“And since they shall be ashamed of all that they did, make known to them the design of the House and its structure, and its exits and its entrances, its entire design and all its LAWS, AND ALL ITS FORMS AND ALL ITS TOROT (Guidelines and Instructions). And write it down before their eyes, so that they observe its entire design and all ITS LAWS, and shall do them. This is the TORAH OF THE HOUSE: Upon the mountaintop, all the boundary of it, all around, is most kodesh (holy). See, this is the TORAH OF THE HOUSE.” So we see that YHWH’s creation and the heavens are under the laws and Torah and so is His House that He showed Ezekiel!
Ezekiel 44:5
“And YHWH said to me, “Son of man, lay your heart and see with your eyes and hear with your ears, all that I say to you concerning all the LAWS OF THE HOUSE of YHWH and all its Torot (Plural form of Torah).”
Ezekiel 43:18
“And He said to me, “Son of man, thus said the Adon (Master) YHWH, ‘These are the LAWS FOR THE ALTAR on the day when it is made, for offering burnt offerings on it, and for sprinkling blood on it.” So now we even see the altar of YHWH has a law!
Jeremiah 5:24
“And they do not say in their heart, “Let us now revere YHWH our Elohim, who gives rain, both the former and the latter, in its season. He guards for us the LAW: The Shavout of harvest.” And this Holy Day we are to celebrate to Him every year is found in Leviticus 23 so we see the importance of this day, because YHWH Himself guards it as a Law!
YESHUA summarized Himself as being The Torah when He said in John 14:6 “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.”
I AM THE WAY----Psalms 119: 1 “Blessed are the perfect in the Way, who walk in the Torah of YHWH.”
I AM THE TRUTH----Psalms 119:142 “Your righteousness is righteousness forever, and Your Torah is truth.”
I AM THE LIFE----Proverbs 13:14 “The Torah of the wise is a fountain of Life.”
Yes Christians are under the law!
As we can see from above that all of YHWH’s creation from the heavens to The House of YHWH is under the law and He gave commandments for man-kind to keep IF they want to follow Him! As I always love to say once you accept YESHUA as your Savior then you are grafted into Yisra’el as a native-born Israelite! So there are no excuses for anyone on this earth to develop their own theology as to how they are saved; when there is only ONE WAY! YESHUA THE WAY!
Elijah was not a native-born Israelite, he was a Tishbite and went to heaven without dying and Ruth was a Moabite and said in Ruth 1:16 “But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you, or to go back from following after you. For wherever you go, I go; and wherever you stop over, I stop over. Your people is my people, and Your Elohim is My Elohim”
Leviticus 19:34
“Let the stranger who dwells among you be to you as the NATIVE among you, and you shall love him as yourself. For you were strangers in the land of Egypt. I am YHWH your Elohim.”
Numbers 15:15-16
“ONE LAW is for you of the assembly and for the stranger who sojourns with you (the non-native born) a LAW FOREVER throughout your generations. As you are, is the stranger before YHWH.” Once grafted in you the non-native born have become just like the native born and have ONE LAW FOREVER!
Mathew 3:9
“And do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as father.’ For I say to you that Elohim is able to raise up children of Abraham from these stones.” So John The Baptist is saying being a native-born Israelite won’t save you if you don’t believe and keep the commandments. Elohim can raise up stones (the non-native born) Israelite to be the seed of Abraham which He did by grafting the gentiles in with the native-born.
Galatians 3:28-29
“There is not Jew (Yahudi) not Yawanite (Greek), there is not slave nor free, there is not male and female, for you are all ONE in Messiah YESHUA. And if you are of Messiah, then you are seed of Abraham, and heirs according to promise.” So if YHWH told us in Numbers 15:15-16 that we are ONE with the native-born and have ONE Law forever, and Paul says that there is no longer Jew nor Greek, but we are ONE in YESHUA; that means we must obey The Torah because it’s a Law forever!
Romans 3:30-31
“Or is He the Elohim of the Jews only, and not also of the gentiles? Yes, of the gentiles also, since it is ONE Elohim who shall declare right the circumcised by belief and the uncircumcised through belief. Do we then nullify the Torah through the belief? Let it not be! On the contrary, we establish the Torah.” This is exactly what James was saying when he said faith without works is dead. Paul says “Do we nullify the Torah for belief (faith) only? NO!
Romans 10:12
“Because there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Adon (Master) of all is rich to all those calling upon Him.”
Luke 6:46
“But why do you call Me Adonai, Adonai (My Master),’ and do not do what I say?
That is what most believers don’t understand is that they call Him Master, call Him Savior, yet they are being disobedient to His Words. We can see now that we are all ONE in The eyes of The ELOHIM of Yisra’el and we all must be obedient to The Torah that He gave to all creation, because His entire creation is under the law; now we know that a human cannot choose to be lawless and follow YESHUA. YESHUA is asking in Luke 6:46 how one can call Him Master, yet disobey His Words? YESHUA spoke about the lawless. In Mathew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Adonai, Adonai,’ shall enter into the reign of the heavens, but he who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens. Many shall say to Me in that day, ‘Adonai, Adonai, have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and done many might works in Your Name?’ And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work LAWLESSNESS!”
As I’ve shown Satan is the lawless one; therefore, how can YESHUA die for us so that you can be lawless like Satan? YESHUA will tell the lawless, those who follow that lawless doctrine in churches today “I NEVER KNEW YOU!”
Isaiah 24 is a prophecy of what Christianity has been doing for centuries and today! Which is why YESHUA spoke about this in the passage above. And this prophecy says Isaiah 24:4-6
“The earth shall mourn and wither, the world shall languish and wither, the haughty people of the earth shall languish. For the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed THE TOROT, CHANGED THE LAW, BROKEN THE EVERLASTING COVENANT. Therefore a curse shall consume the earth, and those who dwell in it be punished. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth shall be burned, and a few men shall be left.
Notice how YHWH says THE EARTH and not just the Jews have transgressed His Torah? So that throws the teaching of the Torah (law) only belonging to the Jews out of the window. YHWH doesn’t make any distinction of denominations here!
Changed the Law? Christianity has switched the Sabbath from the 7th Day on Shabbat to first day; and then say The Law is done away with! And The Covenant is the Torah in Jeremiah 31:31. The Torah is written on our hearts and not tablets of stone.
Be Holy and Not Lawless!
Leviticus 19:2
“Speak to all the congregation of the children of Yisra’el, and say to them, be holy, for I YHWH your Elohim am holy.”
Mathew 5:48
“Therefore, be perfect, as your Father in the heavens is perfect.”
In order for us to walk with Him we must be obedient and accept the free gift YESHUA gave to all man-kind. He is the only One who can save us, but that does not give us the freedom to be lawless because Satan is the lawless one. Give your life to YESHUA today and let Him change your heart and let the Holy Spirit guide you into all truth. HalleluYAH!
