Will The Real Messiah Please Stand Up?
If the messiah you choose to follow ended the Torah, you got the wrong guy. That’s just an unavoidable fact. You’d have chosen a sinner, one completely disqualified to make any claim as a messiah, or any claim to priesthood (Hos 4:6). Once you realize that, you still have time to drop the counterfeit and get back on the True Messiah’s team. But how long will that Door stay open? It’s super easy to determine if you have the Real Messiah or have adopted a fake.
“YOU SHALL NOT ADD unto the word which I command you, NOR SHALL YOU TAKE AWAY ought from it, that ye may guard the commandments of Yahuah Elohaykem which I command you.” Deu 4:2
“All the words I am commanding you, guard to do it – DO NOT ADD TO IT NOR TAKE AWAY from it.” Deu 12:32
NO adding, NO taking away. You haven’t errantly picked a messiah that took it all away, have you? One that did not guard the commandments at all, but sinned in taking them away? That’s a serious, immediate disqualification! If Messiah didn’t guard them, what the heck is the apostle talking about? It’s a firmly defined basis for actually knowing you know Him!
“And hereby we do KNOW THAT WE KNOW Him, IF we guard his commandments.” 1Jn 2:3 Then he tells us we are indebted to walk as Messiah set example (1Jn 2:6)!
“Know therefore that Yahuah Elohayka, he is Elohiym, the faithful El, which guards his covenant and mercy with them that love him and guard his commandments to A THOUSAND generations” Deu 7:9
“He has remembered his covenant FOREVER, the word which he commanded to A THOUSAND generations” Psa 105:8
That’s quite a while. I’ve seen some calculate a generation as low as 27 years, some go up to 80 years. Not gonna debate that, lets just use the lowest number to prove a point. From Creation, 6000 years divided by 27 = 222.22 generations. Just a “little” short of 1000 generations. We may as well just call it forever, just as Scripture says -
“Grass shall wither, the flower shall fade, but THE WORD of our Elohim stands FOREVER.” Isa 40:8. “But the Word of Yahuah endures forever.” 1Pe 1:25
Those are just a few HUGE problems for any counterfeit messiah. If you want to prop up a sinning messiah, one that you think “fulfilled” (destroyed) the law so you can sin, that’s up to you, but you got the wrong guy. If you are OK with your messiah being mistaken, or think He lied, that’s up to you too. But you have to deny the True Messiah’s Words, in effect, denying Him -
“It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by EVERY WORD that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahuah.” Mat 4:4
He said to not even give this a thought! “THINK NOT that I am come to DESTROY (G2647) the Torah...” (Mat 5:17). What does destroy mean? “(G2647) - demolish, loosen down, overthrow, abrogate, nullify, or dissolve - yet most think when He said “fulfill” He meant to do just that! To further bring the point home, He then said -
“For truly, I say to you, TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS AWAY, one yod or one tittle shall by NO MEANS pass from the Torah till all be done.” Mat 5:18
This is why we see such rigorous testing of Messiah. They tried and tried to catch Him sinning! A huge part of His time was spent setting Torah back in proper perspective after so many years of abuse because of all the added Jewish laws / traditions that disgraced Torah -
“And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of Elohiym, that ye may guard your own tradition.” Mar 7:9
“But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” Mat 15:9
Still stuck in a sun-day tradition? X-mess or ishtar traditions? You think you’ll somehow get a pass? A counterfeit messiah may overlook that stuff. But the counterfeit isn’t real, it’s born of men and the imaginations of a carnal mind (Rom 8:7).
“To the Torah and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isa 8:20
“Yahuah is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the Torah, and make it honorable.” Isa 42:21
All that said, that means the swine and other assorted abomination has to go as well. The True Messiah wants to clean you up, He doesn’t want you to defile yourselves while profaning Him (Ez 22:26). Only a fake of man’s imagination wouldn’t care.
“This is the Torah of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps upon the earth: To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.” Lev 11:46
HODU L'YHUH! Have a great Sabbath!
"The one who says he stays in Him is indebted to walk, even as He walked." 1Jn 2:6
Without Torah, His walk is impossible - it's Rome's walk without Torah.
