IF WE ALLOW THE LAW ITO BE WRITTEN IN THE SPIRIT THEN NATURALLY WE WILL OBEY THE FATHER’S INSTRUCTIONS
John the Revelator had this much to say concerning the obedience to the law and the significance of commitment in the end times. The dramatic prophesy of the end time has intrigued many and the book of Revelation everyone loves to read and imagine how it will be. The many sermons on the book of revelation are countless, yet many don’t have the eyes to see and the wisdom to to interpret truth and its basics. The sensationalism and mysteries blinds us from the real gems. When a prophet repeats a thing three or more times, we the readers should take notice of that thing! and ponder it carefully. Something we all tend to look over and is of such great importance is the hope of a special group, they are the justified saints specially chosen for the kingdom. John emphasizes at least three times that these are the people who will have the testimony of Christ and also obey the commandments of God. The Revelator is showing a future thing where the law applies and will matter in the end.
{The Book Of Revelation Chapter 1} {12} Here is a call for the endurance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Je-sus. {13}And I heard a voice from heaven telling me to write, “Blessed are the dead—those who die in the Lord from this moment on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labors, for their deeds will follow them.”• {Cross References John 14:15} If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. {15} If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. {Revelation 12:17} And the dragon was enraged at the woman, and went to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus . And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore.
What is the law as regarding this particular word we see so often in scriptures and how should we interpret it. There are two ways in reference to the law to understand what is spoken of at particular times. The law in some instances mentioned in our bibles could be referring to the first five books , also called the books of Moshe or Torah. The other use of the word law is in reference to instructions categorized by moral laws, dietary laws, ceremonial laws and civil laws. It is important to know this; in order to keep scripture in context! A very good example of this is the confusion most Christians create when they attempt to prove that the laws of God are done away with. There is a scenario in the new testament which I draw attention to as a young man asked messiah Yeh’shah which is the most important commandment in the law. Messiah replied you shall love the most high creator with all your heart and soul and your neighbor as yourself and any other that is similar to this.
Some of you will ask whats wrong with this? Nothing is wrong with it, but something is wrong with the way this is interpreted as the blind men leads the blind. Notice the young man asked what is the greatest commandment “IN THE LAW” Meaning in the Torah or in the first 5 books of our bible. Christians interpret Messiah’s response to mean that every other instruction is nullified by these two. Christ’s response as a matter of fact endorses the fact that if you love God you will keep his commandments. The point Christ is making here is that if you love him and the father you will keep all his commandments.
If you love God with all your heart and soul then because of faith you will walk accordingly to please him in obedience to his laws written in the law. Christ is the only being who walked perfectly in the fruits of the spirit, love peace, forgiveness, to these attributes there are no laws for those who walk in the spirit. But we are all sinners and because of our sins we transgress the law, for sin is transgression of the law so there is a law against sin, which puts us back under the burden of law every time we sin. The law is a measuring stick so we know when we do wrong against our father
With out laws there is chaos in every facet of life. We get married and that’s under a biblical law, as parents you make rules and regulations and give instructions, we drive cars and trucks planes and there are laws governing licenses and how to conduct oneself while operating these machines. There are laws for walking the streets, we have traffic lights for both pedestrians and motorists. You go to go to the court house on trial you swear not to lie before the judge, On Your work place there are laws on the way you conduct yourself, it is given to every new employees to sign a code of conduct and companies rules. Most of all in all these churches there are laws governed by the RCC and the World Council Of Churches.
The the Sunday law of worship is upheld and openly denouncing the Shabbat of God. These institutions have their laws to inactuate all pagan rituals and holidays like Christmas and Easter Halloween, christenings of babies but speak against the feast days instituted by our heavenly father. I can go on and on with this to make my point but lets examine something here, and this applies to everyone who claims to be a teacher of the word. This is what the psalmist David as conveyed in his inspired writings. He confirms the laws are to be kept and only those who obey them has a clear understanding of scripture. The man who does not obey or teach others to break commandment is not fit to teach and therefore does not have the good understanding of the word.
{10} The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
Let me ask is it righteouness that a man lay with a beast or with another man as he will with a woman? Is it ok for a wife to be sexually active with other men while she took a vow of marriage? Is it grace worthy for a husband to commit adultery? Is it lawful to lie and steal? Is it lawful to worship idols and keep festivals holidays for these foreign God? Well don’t answer the last question for now I don’t want to spoil the Christmas spirit. Some of these and many more reasons the church leaders are fighting against the laws of the most high claiming the laws are done away.? The people are being coaxed into a false reality of complacency and not being fed spiritual truth. Meanwhile they walk in obedience to the Sunday law profaning the Shabbat and rebelliously follow laws instituted by the Roman Catholic Church denying the standards Of Christ?
Isaiah the prophet also pointed out to us; the importance and the benefits of observing the laws and the advantage we will each have if we turn away from our rebellion of sun worship and observance of Sun day and call the father’s Shabbat a delight. {Isaiah Chapter 56} {6 }Also the strangers{gentiles}, that join themselves to the LORD, to minister unto Him, And to love the name of the LORD, To be His servants, Every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, And holdeth fast by My covenant: {7} Even them will I bring to My holy mountain, And make them joyful in My house of prayer; Their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices Shall be acceptable upon Mine altar; For My house shall be called A house of prayer for all peoples. {Isaiah Chapter 58} {13} If you turn your foot from breaking the Sabbath, from doing as you please on My holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight, and the LORD’s holy day honorable, if you honor it by not going your own way or seeking your own pleasure or speaking idle words
Our heavenly father chose a particular people out of the lineage of Abraham to call his house, the house of Israel. In this house he created rules and regulations just like in any normal family household there are laws and customs. The father gave us directives as a way of life and never a function of of some religious institution. Every instruction from the potter was for our benefit and survival in this cruel world. Man has made it overly complicated with the inception of all these false religions today as they are all divided against each other in confusion and inconsistency in doctrines. I am not relegated by none of these man made businesses be it Anglican, Catholic, Muslim, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Episcopal, Seventh day Adventist, Jehovah Witness, Baptist Church, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism or any of those. My perspective and focus is on a Hebrew God and a Hebrew savior of whom truth was given by the prophets to embrace as a way of life pleasing to him only and that I be joined to his house.
Prime example of biblical manipulation consider Romans 10:4, “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.” The unlearned “milk consuming babes” misinterpreted the greek “telos” to mean the word “end” taking it out of context. Another plot to use scriptures to steer the people wrongly! They incorrectly and deliberately teach that faith makes the law void. By crafty counsel they have adopted an erroneous theory that brother Shaul has reneged on {Romans 3:31} : “Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.”The Greek word telos, translated “end” in Romans 10:4, more accurately translated should be the {aim, purpose, climax, goal}’ of a thing”.
Brother Shaul uses the greek “telos”in Romans 10:4 to convey that the objective or goal of the book of the law—the “aim, climax or purpose” of it—was the manifestation of the prophesied messiah who will redeem Israel. Taking a look at at Messiah Yeh’sha’s teaching from the book of Matthew Chapter 5:17:Where did he get this scripture from? He had no new testament…All of the prophets taught from the old testament and Torah.. Christ was teaching to uphold the law and commandments given to us by his father and we will discover where he quoted it from Deuteronomy Chapter 4.
{Matthew Chapter 5: 17} “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. {18} For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. {19} Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Confirmation CHRIST Quoted From TORAH .{Deuteronomy Chapter 4:2} “Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.
WHAT IS BROTHER SHAUL VIEW ON THE LAW AND COMMANDS OF GOD? DID HE OPPOSE THE TEACHINGS OF THE PROPHETS OR OF CHRIST? NO! NO! THIS WHAT HE SAYS? HE SAID GOD FORBID THAT YOU NULLIFY THE LAW!!NOW THE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES ARE GUILTY JUST AS THE PHARISEES WHO ACCUSED PAUL WRONGFULLY FOR TEACHING AGAINST THE LAW! THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE PHARISEES CONDEMNED BROTHER SHAUL, WHERE AS CHRISTIANITY IS ENDORSING AND GLORIFYING THIS LIE.. THE SOLE PURPOSE FOR PUSHING THIS DECEPTION IS TO JUSTIFY THE SUNDAY SHABBAT AND THE REPLACEMENT DOCTRINE OF THE HEBREWS. THEY CLAIM THAT THE NEW SPIRITUAL ISRAEL IS THE MODERN CHURCH AND GOD IS DONE AWAY WITH HIS PEOPLE AS WITH THE LAWS!
The apostle Shaul was a highly intelligent and somewhat an intellect who was well versed with the pharisetical teachings as well as the Torah referred to the book of the law from Genesis to Exodus. Peter in the book of 2nd Peter warned us the readers about misinterpreting Brother Shaul’s letters and I quote from {2nd Peter chapter 3} {15} And suppose that the long suffering of the Lord is salvacion, even as our dearly beloved brother Shaul according to the wysdom given to hym wrote unto you, {2 Peter 3:16} yea, almost in every epistle speaking of such things, among which are many things hard to be understand, which they that are unlearned, and unstable, pervert, as they do other scriptures unto their own destruction. {2 Peter 3:17} Ye therfore beloved, seeing ye know it before hand, beware lest ye be also plucked away with the error of the wycked, and fall from your own stedfastness!End Quote.
Lets look at Paul’s response to the religious leaders who accused him of speaking against the laws that even Christ encouraged and practiced. Paul was falsely accused by these religious hard hats, men who had the law but added and took away from it, their traditions and dogmas. Many of these leaders were hypocrites and will just do things pertaining to the law as a visible show to be seen of men. They used there positions to steal from the poor and were affiliated and dabbled in the wicked politics of Jerusalem under the rule of the Greeks and Romans. Very familiar and similar to the religions of modern day. The difference being they did not abandon the law they added, took away making it a burden. Similarly the church today are appalled to keeping the laws given on Sinai and has established their own traditions and laws.
Romans Chapter 3: 30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision {israel} by faith , and uncircumcision {gentiles} through faith . 31 Do we then make void the law through faith ? God forbid! yea, we establish the law. Brother Shaul makes it clear that Israel is justified by faith and the gentiles are justified through faith but the law is not nullified for the gentiles through faith but we establish the law!
THE ACCUSERS MADE FALSE ACCUSATIONS THAT SHAUL WAS TEACHING AGAINST THE LAW JUST AS CHRISTIANITY DOES TODAY, THE DIFFERENCE IS THEY GLORIFY IT BY USING PAUL’S WRITING TO MAKE VOID GODS LAWS
{Acts Chapter 21: 28} Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
SHAUL ANSWERS THE CRITICS CLEARLY THAT HE NEVER SPOKE AGAINST THE LAW OR CONTRARY TO THE TEMPLE STATUTES AND INSTRUCTIONS:
{14} But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: {7} And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove. {8} While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple have I offended any thing at all.
One last myth that need to be addressed and will be the bow and ribbon on this gift of truth. Its been told by many institutions that Messiah Yeh’shah when he was sacrificed on the tree in Golgotha he nailed the law to the cross. Throughout this discussion we see evidence of this not being the case!. Firstly it must be understood that messiah was sacrificed for the forgiveness of the sins and the redemption of his people Israel a nation who had been cast away from the sight of the heavenly father {The book of Acts Chp 5:31-35} . Israel because of outrageous sin against the fathers law constantly were sent into captivity and slavery into many different nations till this day. The father promised throughout our old testament that he would have redeemed his people from the captivity and curses of the law by way of a new covenant through his son.
The ordinances of the laws that were against Israel you can find in {Deuteronomy chapter 28} and it details the curses that followed their sinfulness. The new covenant abolished the law of instant judgement of death for breaking any one of the laws and also the abolishment of sin blood sacrifices being Christ became the sacrificial lamb who redeemed his people by dying. This is the grace brother Shaul speaks of consistently.We need to understand this as now there is repentance and grace period of time to get right before the judgement comes. The wages of sin is death and this death is that death after you die and are found sinful and not written in the lamb’s book of life, the spirit will be destroyed; thats the second death.
The gentile nation was grafted in after this fact just as it was prophesied that they be the wild olive branch grafted in to provoke Israel to jealousy, we know the heavenly father gave the green light to Peter as he started with Cornelius the centurion. The gentile nation never had a covenant with the creator before, the old covenant was for his people and new was also for them until the gentiles were included in to partake of the root.This can be verified in {The Book Of Romans Chapter 11} . All nations are to follow the laws and statutes as dictated by the bible, there is no partiality whether Hebrew or Gentile, their is no favoritism when coming to obedience.
The Hebrew who thinks he can walk contrary and do what ever he or she wants because he is of Abraham’s seed, will not enter the kingdom. This applies also to the gentiles nations. The only thing that will be a factor for all the righteous of Jacob’s seed is that the 12 tribes of Israel 12,000 from each tribe who have the testimony of Christ and obedient to the fathers laws they will be the the rulers in the new kingdom. The rest of the Hebrew lineage will be the head and not the tail in society as it is in the earth right now.The gentiles who have the testimony of Christ and obey the laws and commands of God spoken of in revelation will have their place but they will not rule but rather serve; not as slaves as some may think. These facts can be referenced in the {Book Of Isaiah Chapter 60 to 65} .
