The Torah is the Foundation
The book of Revelation quotes or alludes to the Old Testament no less than 505 times. The book of Revelation only has 404 total verses. Did you know this? Did you know that to understand what the future holds we must study the bible from Genesis 1 all the way through?
This path we are on is a fundamental re-orientation of our thought process with respect to Christianity. Almost all of us learn the NT first then think the OT is like a glossary of terms or just a place to look to bolster the information in the New Testament. This is backwards. The Torah is the foundation that informs the NT. Learning the bible in the order in which things happened, i.e., starting in Genesis and really learning the Tanakh, then learning the New Testament, is what the first century Christians did. The Messiah did not come to start a new religion but to build on existing faith of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Isaiah, Ezekiel, etc.
As we discussed in last week’s Torah portion, the order Paul refers to in Romans 13 was established through the Torah. When Paul wrote that people must be subject to governing authorities, we see that begin when Abraham gave a tenth to Melchizedek. Abraham was a known leader who had just won a military battle and still gave proper respect to one whose rank was higher than his. Abraham also made the deal for Sarah’s tomb in a public setting, insisting on paying full price with witnesses, so there would be no doubt of his ownership of that land.
When Paul went on to talk about honoring authorities for the sake of conscience, that also harkens back to Abraham’s servant who was trusted to bring back a bride for Isaac. Abraham could not do this work himself, so he made his servant swear to do it. His servant could have gone rogue, kept the camels and gold, and never came back. Or came back and lied. But that’s not what happened. Abraham’s servant did what was right in the sight of YHVH and Abraham even when nobody would have known he did wrong.
You see that honoring authorities is a virtue established in the earliest parts of the Old Testament. Paul was not issuing some new edict but rather re-iterating an existing biblical truth. Those of us who study the Torah while believing in Yeshua the Messiah have put the truth back in the proper order. The Torah informs the rest of the Old Testament, the Old Testament in total informs the New, and we look for the return of the Messiah who will establish peace by ushering in an orderly kingdom based on the truths we hold dear that are established from Genesis to Revelation.
Our challenge, though, is re-orienting our minds. Most of Christianity has been taught the New Testament is the foundation and the rest of the bible is just handy to have when it bolsters a point of doctrine or makes a point we want to make. It’s incredibly difficult to rebuild a foundation, especially one that is this ingrained into us. It’s akin to learning a second language. For many years, everything you learn of the foreign language will be compared to your native tongue. In fact, you may never get to the point where you can completely break from using your native tongue as the foundation.
Remember how I said that the book of Revelation quotes or alludes to the Old Testament at least 505 times? This is not unique to the book of Revelation. The Gospels refer to the OT almost constantly, too. So do the letters and epistles. If you want to understand the New Testament, you must first understand the Old. This is a tall task, but as the Messiah said, believing in Him is founded on Moses…. Because Moses wrote of Him! Shalom and have a blessed week!

⁣For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Romans 13:9 ESV

Was Paul saying that "Love your neighbor as yourself" sums up only the Ten Commandments and not all the rest of God's instructions? No! Because all of the rest of God's commandments are summed up in the Ten. To love your neighbor is to keep all of God's commandments, not just the Ten.

⁣Then Reuben said to his father, “Kill my two sons if I do not bring him back to you. Put him in my hands, and I will bring him back to you.”
Genesis 42:37 ESV

Reuben's actions and words in Genesis seem random and a bit crazy until you put them all together, and then they start to form a consistent pattern. Reuben was a firstborn son who saw himself being bypassed by his younger brothers. Most of his seemingly bizarre interactions with Jacob, Bilhah, Joseph, and Benjamin can be explained as a series of attempts to regain his position at the head of the family.

Pat Robertson acknowleding publicly everything we know about the pagan origins of Christmas.

⁣Throughout Paul's story in Acts and his letters, it seems that he was comfortable among people with power, both political and religious. Acts 22 and 23 show that his family had money or some other strong connection with the Roman authorities. His personal history and apparent influence of his nephew show a strong connection with the Jewish religious authorities. Paul was smart, educated, well-spoken, and a political force to be reckoned with, even with the whole Roman and Jewish worlds against him.

⁣Wisdom doesn't come from isolation and philosophy. It comes from interacting with the world, meditating on the Word of God, and living out his commandments.

Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
James 3:13-18 KJV

⁣Typical Christian doctrine treats covenants like a music playlist. When one song is done, the next one starts. But that's not how covenants are portrayed in the Bible. The Sinai Covenant didn't replace Abraham's, which didn't replace Noah's, which didn't replace Adam's. Instead, covenants are like a symphony in which one instrument after another is added to create a synergistic whole.

⁣Does not wisdom call? Does not understanding raise her voice?
Proverbs 8:1 ESV

Wisdom is available for anyone with the determination and initiative to find her, but you won't find her in books or meditation. True wisdom is the application of knowledge through the fear of YHWH.

Sukkot aka the Feast of Tabernacles is an 8 day celebration in the fall that Christians are not only supposed to be observing today, all mankind must observe it in the future or they will starve. While that sounds harsh, it's quite scriptural. This message is a primer to let Christians know what to expect at Sukkot, it's history in the last 100 years in the United States, and which topics to avoid to have a peaceful gathering.

It’s decision time, brothers and sisters, either decide to be a Christian and follow Him fully or don’t.
After accepting Yeshua as the Messiah (Jesus as the Christ) and becoming an adopted child of God, then what? This message addresses what the first century gentiles had to do to change how they were living and become children of God. I then parallel that to today, which is shockingly similar. This message proves that the rituals in mainstream Christianity, the things believers are required to do to be considered believers, are actually from paganism and the same exact religions Paul and the other apostles were sent into the world to counter. It's decision time, brothers and sisters, either decide to be a Christian and follow Him fully or don't. For more messages like this, please visit https://firstcenturychristianity.net/

The Sabbath was created on the 7th day of creation, kept by all the apostles and early Christians, and will be kept in the future under penalty of death. YHVH aka God rested on the 7th day of creation as an example for mankind the same way that Yeshua aka Jesus was baptized. God was not tired and did not need rest after creating the world, He rested with Adam as an example. Yeshua was sinless and did not need to be baptized, He did that to be an example as well. The first century believers would never have considered changing the Sabbath or stopping it because that was the principle means they identified as worshipers of the one true God. This has never changed and this message proves from scripture that the Sabbath is not just for Christians and Jews, but for all mankind.

Lyrics:
Listen my son to the words of your mother
And the proverb that your father gives
Life and joy to children of faith in abundance,
oh great abundance
Adorn your chest with the commands of Yahuwah
And dress your head with humbleness
Let not your steps find a fools path
And turn not aside for the temptress batting eyes
And if you love Yahuwah with all your might
And purge all evil from your eyes
A fruitful vine will be your wife
I’ll see your children's children before I die
And if your mind meditates on all His ways
Your name and life remain
And your feet will tread the path
Of the mighty, yes the mighty
