Enoch (Hanok) 99:2
“Woe to them who pervert the Words of uprightness, and transgress the ENTERNAL (EVERLASTING) LAW, and transform themselves into what they were not-into sinners! They shall be trodden under foot upon the earth.”
These are some powerful words from Enoch who was shown the end from the beginning and wrote everything down for a future generation of instruction. The point is that the Torah, Commandments, Laws of YHWH are eternal that means they always existed and this applies for ALL creation! Further proof of this is that Abel/Hebel (Hay-veil), Noah, and Abraham kept the commandments in Genesis before there ever was a Jew! Did Abel make a sacrifice for his offering?
Genesis 4:4
“And Abel also brought of the FIRST-BORN of his flock and of their fat. And YHWH looked to Abel and his offering….”
Notice how Abel brought the First-born of his flock and the fat? Why did he bring the first-born of the flock?
Leviticus 27:26
“However, a FIRST-BORN of the beasts, which is FIRST-BORN to YHWH, no man sanctify it-whether bull or sheep, it BELONGS TO YHWH.”
Deuteronomy 15:19
“Kadosh (sanctify) to YHWH your Elohim all the FIRST-BORN males that come from your HERD AND YOUR FLOCK. Do no work with the FIRST-BORN of your herd, nor shear the FIRST-BORN of your flock.”
As we can see Abel already knew in Genesis what to offer to YHWH before it was written in Deuteronomy! Abel didn’t guess, he already knew what YHWH expected and he presented it before YHWH and why his was accepted. Now how about the fat that Abel brought along with the first-born of his flock? In order to get fat from an animal you must kill him and in this case it was for a sacrifice.
Leviticus 3:3
“And from the peace offering he shall bring an offering made by fire to YHWH, THE FAT that covers the entrails and all THE FAT that is on the entrails.”
Leviticus 7:2-3
“The guilt offering is slaughtered in the place where they slaughter the burnt offering, and its blood is sprinkled on the altar all around. Then he brings from it all its FAT: THE FAT tail and the FAT that covers the entrails…”
The author of Hebrews confirms that Abel’s offering was a blood sacrifice/offering with the following Scripture.
Hebrews 12:24
“And to YESHUA the Mediator of a New Covenant, and to the BLOOD of sprinkling which speaks BETTER THAN ABEL.”
We don’t make animals sacrifices anymore being that YESHUA our perfect Lamb without blemish offered Himself once and for ALL for sin. This just proves that Abel was obeying the commands in the Torah before it was written in Leviticus and Deuteronomy. Abel was righteous for what he did with his offering.
Hebrews 11:4
“By belief, Abel offered to Elohim a greater SLAUGHTER offering than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous…”
So how much better the blood of YESHUA the Lamb of YHWH who takes away the sins of the world. Further proof that the world has to accept the free gift of YESHUA and obey His Commands. Abel had faith to offer up his best and works of the Torah by obeying what he knew YHWH expected. Abel is only four chapters in and he was obedient and he was before Noah.
Did Noah obey the commandments?
Genesis 7:1-2
“And YHWH said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.”
Verse 2 “Of all the CLEAN beasts take with you seven pairs, a male of his female; and of the beasts that are UNCLEAN two, a males and his female;”
How did Noah know what animals were CLEAN and UNCLEAN before they were written in Leviticus 11 where He lists what we can eat and what we cannot eat? Then YHWH makes it clearer in Leviticus 11:46-47
“This is the TORAH of the beasts and the birds and every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth, to make A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE UNCLEAN AND THE CLEAN, and between the living creature that is eaten and the living creature that is NOT EATEN.”
Notice how YHWH says in Leviticus 11:46 “This is The TORAH” which we know is the first five books which the world calls the Law! So this makes sense when YHWH said that Noah was righteous before Him in that generation. What is righteousness?
Deuteronomy 6:25
“And it is righteousness for us when we guard to do ALL these Commands before YHWH our Elohim, as He has commanded us.”
Psalms 119:142
“Your righteousness is righteousness forever, and Your TORAH IS TRUTH.”
Now we know why Noah was guarding the Torah of the dietary laws in Genesis before it was written in Leviticus because he knew the truth and was righteous.
What about Abraham?
Genesis 26:5
“Because Abraham obeyed My voice and guarded My Charge: My Commands, My Laws, and My Torot (Plural form of Torah).”
So this would make since that since Abel and Noah who were before Abraham, obeyed the Torah and that Abraham whom all the nations of the earth would be blessed would have obeyed the eternal Torah as well. Abraham begot Isaac and then Isaac begot Jacob! Through Jacob came Judah; where the Jews come from, so we can see that Abel, Noah, and Abraham all kept the Torah before there ever was a Jew! YESHUA even said in John 8:39 “They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” YESHUA said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.” We know his works because YHWH said he obeyed the Torah. So if we are all the seed of Abraham and heirs according to the promise, then are you doing what Abraham did by keeping Torah?
Galatians 3:29
“And if you are of Messiah, then YOU ARE SEED OF ABRAHAM, and heirs according to promise.”
What about Moses?
The Sabbath Day is so important to YHWH because He instituted The Sabbath during creation. He rested on the Sabbath and expects those who worship to keep the Sabbath as it is a sign between He and His people. Notice how YHWH spoke to Moses and rebuked the Israelites for collecting Manna on the Sabbath after He instructed them not to.
In Exodus 16:26-28
“Gather it six days, but on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, there is none.” And it came to be that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found none. And YHWH said to Moses, “How long shall you refuse to guard My Commands and My Torah?”
As stated above, Exodus 16:28 proves that Sabbath rest was instituted before the Ten Commandments. YHWH had commandments about keeping the Sabbath Day before He gave the Commands to Moses four chapters later in Exodus 20. Furthermore, YHWH said Torah again, so this is further proof that YHWH’s law was pre-existing and His commandments are eternal (everlasting) and Moses already knew what YHWH was referring to. How else what Moses had known in Exodus 16 before Mount Sinai in Exodus 20?
It’s time for ALL creation to wake up!
Psalms 119:150-152
“…They have been far from Your Torah. You are near, O YHWH, and all Your Commands are TRUTH Of OLD I have known Your Witnesses, that you have founded them FOREVER.” Verse 160-165 “The sum of Your Word is TRUTH, and Your righteousness Right-Rulings are FOREVER (ETERNAL). Rulers have persecuted me without a cause, but at Your Word my heart stood in awe. I rejoice at Your Word as one who finds great treasure. I have hated falsehood (lawlessness) and loathe it, Your Torah I have loved. I have praised You seven times a day, because of your righteous Right-Rulings. Great peace have those loving your Torah, and for them there is no stumbling-block.”
2 Esdras 3:5-8
“..And gave a body to Adam without being, which was the workmanship of Your hands, and breathed into him the breath of life, and he was made living before You. And You led him into paradise, which Your right hand had planted before the earth ever appeared. And You gave a Command to him to love Your Way; which he transgressed, and immediately You appointed death in him and in his generations, from whom came nations, tribes, people, and clans, without number. And ALL people walked after their OWN DESIRE, and acted arrogantly before You, and despised Your Commands.”
Do not be like those of the past generation and those now who are arrogantly walking in disobedience to YHWH’s Torah and Commandments especially since we now see that His Laws always existed therefore, All believers should be obedient as well.
Choose life!
2 Esdras 7:20-21
“For there are many who perish in the life, because they despise the Law of Elohim that is put before them. For Elohim has given a strict Command to those who came, what they should do to live, even as they came, and what they should observe to avoid punishment. What was the strict Command that we should live?
Deuteronomy 30:14-16
“For the Word is very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart-to do it. “See, I have put before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I am commanding you today to love YHWH your Elohim, to walk in His Ways, and to guard His Commands, and His Laws, and His Right-Rulings.”
2 Esdras 7:22-24
“Nevertheless they were not obedient to Him; but spoke against Him, and plotted in vain; and deceived themselves by their wicked deeds; and said of the Most High, that He did not exist; and did not know His ways. But they have DESPISED HIS TORAH, and denied His Covenants; they have not been trustworthy in His Laws, and have NOT PERFOMED His works.” This ties right in with Isaiah 24..
Isaiah 24:5
“For the EARTH has been defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed My Torot (Torah plural), changed the law, broken the everlasting Covenant.”
The world has despised His Torah saying that it is “done away with” and not performed His Works, which is the exact opposite of what Christianity believes in. Christianity says we are saved by grace alone and there are no works we need to do. But we know that James said in James 2:20 “But do you want to know, O foolish man, that the faith without works is dead?” James understood that our Father YHWH expects of to perform the works of His Torah and Commands with actions and not by mouth alone. YESHUA died for us, but He told us that the lawless will not enter in heaven.
2 Esdras 7:72-74
“For this reason, therefore, those who live on earth shall be tortured, for though they had knowledge, they committed wickedness; and although they received the Commandments, they did guard (keep them); and though they obtained the Law, they dealt untrustworthily with what they had received. What then shall they have to say in the judgment, or how shall they answer in the last days? How long the Most High has been patient with the inhabitants of the WORLD! (Not just Jews) and not for their sakes, but because of the days that He has ordained.”
Job 28:26
“When He made a law for the rain, and a way for the lightning of thunder…”
Job 38:33
“Do you know the laws of the heavens? Or do you apply their rule over the earth?”
Ask yourselves this! If there is a law for the rain and laws in the holy heavens where YHWH, YESHUA, and the messengers dwell, and the heavens are greater than the earth, then how can human who is less than Them be without LAW? Be deceived no more! Let us ALL who follow YESHUA not only have the faith, but be obedient to His Commands. The Commandments are how we know Him and the Commandments are how we Love Him! Our Elohim knows what is laid up for those who walk in disobedience, so its time to wake up WORLD!
Share this with everyone who needs to hear this important message and may YHWH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!
