Is the Torah about the Messiah?

1. Yehshua said in Luke 24:44: “Then He said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”

Yes, Torah is all about Messiah!! This is the esoteric level I spoke of earlier. When there is spoken of something/somebody without referring to it once. (Today people are very good with this when they gossip)
Moses was the greatest prophet of the Messiah! Even though he never used that word once!

2.Yehshua said in Matthew 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.”

To fulfill means – To fill up with meaning / 2 make more!

Yehshua is the Word (John 1), He fulfilled Torah – He can only fulfill if it was written about Him originally! He gave more meaning to Torah than Moses ever could!

3. Yehshua also said in John 5:46-47: “For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”

You won’t understand the word of Yehshua or the renewed covenant, if you do not believe and understand Torah.

4. Paul was a Torah Scholar, and knew the Torah by heart at the age of 13. In Acts 28 he was visiting the Jews in Rome, trying to convince them that Yehshua was the Messiah. How did he do this? : Verse 23: “When they had appointed a day for him, they came to him at his lodging in greater numbers. From morning till evening he expounded to them, testifying to the kingdom of Elohim and trying to convince them about Yahshua Messiah both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.

That’s the way you lead people to salvation! You have to start with the foundation! Torah!

5. Yehshua said in John 14:1: “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in the Father; believe also in Me.”

In the time of the Messiah, the religious Jews believed in the Father, but they denied the Son. Today many people believe in the Son, but they deny the Father?

Yehshua said He is in the Father and the Father is in Him – you can’t separate them! They are united. In the Shma –“Hear o Israel, the Lord your God, the Lord is one” – in Hebrew it goes: “Shma o Yisrael, YHWH Eliheinu, YHWH echad”
Echad means united, not one! The Father and Son is united, like husband and wife is one – not one being!!

6. In Genesis 49:22-24 Jacob blesses his son Yoseph: “Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a spring; his branches run over the wall. The archers bitterly attacked him,
shot at him, and harassed him severely, yet his bow remained unmoved; his arms were made agile by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob (from there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel),”

It is talking about Elohim, the Messiah! The interesting part is “Stone of Yisrael” – Why?
The word stone, in Hebrew, is made up of 2 different Hebrew words:
The first is the letter Av = Father and the second is Ben = Son

So together they form Aben, which mean Stone in Hebrew!!!!

Wow! They are as united as stone!!
