B’re’shiyt
1:3
“And
God said, Let there be light: and there was light.”
“Vay-yo’mer
alohiym, y’hiy ‘or vay’hiy ‘or.
~
We
begin the 6 days of the making and shaping…
This
is NOT creation.
That
was already done... and that is the word BARA.
We only see the word Bara again when it is talking about the nephesh -
the souls/spirits in the people / animals.
So
get the picture here...
“darkness
is on deep” - there is tohu vavohu -
everything was created is now astonishingly confused and it is chaos and LOUD.
In
all this mess -YHUH is going to restore what hasatan attempted to destroy.
The
Ruach haKodesh of YHUH moves on waters - begins regeneration that only YHUH can
do…
AND....
in 1:3
Now
we have light coming forth
Vayyo’mer
Elohiym, y’hiy ‘or vay’hiy ‘or
and
said God let there be light; and there was light
Vayy’omer = “and said God” = the action
aleph
mem resh
root
= ‘amar: and said, spoke, think, command, promise
Okay
- a bit of Hebrew grammar - do not panic -
the
first part of the word is a conjunction “and”
the
yod expresses the col imperfect
an
“and”… is the “Wa consecutive”
…
what that means is = once an “and” takes place… the first “and” - if it is the
perfect tense... that means it is a completed act ...
..
and all the “ands” after become imperfect tense.
called
the WA consecutive… what that simply means is that all these things that are
happening now… and.....
Okay
so the main point is....
“and”
“He moved on the face of the waters”
“AND”
“Yah said let there be… “
“and
and and” === these are not completed acts - they are still
occurring!
YHUH
is STILL moving over the face of the waters!!
He is still letting His light shine forth etc…
We
see that in vayy’omer
We
already said the root is
‘amar
- aleph mem resh
=common
hebrew word to express words as they come off our lips === speech!
- it literally means “to collectively
organize speech”
this
is translated as “speak” a lot…
but
it is different than the word d’var -
the Hebrew word for word as d’var focuses on thought, intent and motivation -
the source - or someone who plans = d’var
but
the actual administration of the words as they come off the lips = ‘amar = the
actual speaking of the word translated
as = “to think”, “to speak”, “to
command” and a few translated as “promise”
So
-this is Yah speaking something that is not a completed act - still occurring
as we speak..
The
other thing we need to know is.... based on the Hebrew words...
at
this point (B’re’shiyt 1:3) - Light has already existed - no creation…
and
Yah said - let there be
next
word - we have had :)
Alohiym = God,
gods - the strong one
Vay’hi’or
= “and light became”
-
not created, but brought forth
Y’hiy =
yahhee… (Genesis 1:2) “was and became
“let there be”… is in imperfect tense...
so
that means that Yah is still bringing forth his light
‘or = LIGHT, fire shine, enlighten
aleph
-(holem vav)- and resh
What
is the light? - not the sun.
= It is Torah in the form of light
-
first thing YHWH says “let there be light”
~~
So
YHUH is restoring what was created and became an astonishingly confused
mess.... Just like we talked about this....
This
is the same pattern as Yisra’el and man...
created
mess/ sin
restoration
~
We
need to talk about LIGHT - “Or” a bit....
First
we are regenerated by Ruach and then light is going to illuminate us…
The
Spirit hovering over waters and then light comes forth…
The
first thing He does is move over the face of the waters...
Remember,
last Shabbat we talked about how if you put sound in water molecules - light is
created.
YHUH
first cleanses -that which cleanses - the water - and then light comes forth…
Yochanan
(John) 7:38 p62
“He
that believes on Me, as the keetvay haKodosh (the scriptures as a whole, in
plural form) have said, out of his belly
shall flow rivers of mayim chayim (waters of life).”
The
point being - the rivers of living water come forth referring to the Spirit of
YHWH.
And
Messiah also reveals Himself as the Light of the World…
This
light is not the sun…
this
is not referring to artificial light from a light bulb… but rather - it is the Word of God in the FORM of light…
*
Now
look in
Gilyahna
(Revelation) 21:23 p 927
“And
the city had no need of the shemesh, neither of the yarayach, to shine in it:
for the tifereth (glory) of YHUH did brighten it, and the Lamb is the Light of
it.”
In
the New Heaven and New earth have - the same
light that illuminated creation from the very beginning.
Yeshayahu
(Isaiah) 8:20p 300
“To
the Torah and to the testimony: if they
speak not according to this Word, it is because there is no Light in them.”
“light” in this verse = shacor =
referring to the dawning - Messiah...
dawning of the day... = having
darkness pushed out -through Messiah
I
Tim 6:14-16 p
905
“dwelling in the light”
this
same light is found in;
Qorintyah
Bet (2 Corinthians) 4:6 p 867
“For YHUH, who commanded the Light to
shine out of darkness, has shone in our levavot (hearts), to give the Light of
the chochmah (wisdom) of the tifereth (glory) of YHUH in the face of Yahusha ha
Moshiach.”
=
a direct reference back to the beginning...
LIGHT
= TORAH = the Living Torah = Messiah =
is only one who has immortality -
not you and I.
... but once we are one with him - we
are immortal through him... because he has immortality.
I
Yochanan 1:6-7 p 831
“If
we say that we have chavurah with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not
practice the emet. 7 But if we walk in
the Light as He is in the Light, we have chavurah with one another, and the
dahm of Yahusha ha Moshiach His Son, cleanses us from all sin.”
WHAT
LIGHT?? !! ??
The
Light in the beginning -
B’re’shiyt
1:3
= what illuminates and separates day from night... light from darkness!
This
is the pattern throughout scripture!
Plus
we need to know that this “or” / “light”
is
also in imperfect tense ...
...
so it is not a completed act...
That
means this is on going - the Light in us -pushes out the darkness - even today!
What
does it mean to walk in light?
Word
says:
Tehillim
(Psalm) 119:105 p
“Your
Word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my derech.”
Mishle
(Prov) 6:23
p 552
“For
the mitzvah is a lamp: and the Torah is light; and reproofs of discipline are
he derech of chayim.”
Yeshayahu
(Is) 51:4 p 334
“Listen
to Me, My people; and give ear to Me, O My nation: for a Torah shall proceed
from Me, and My mishpat I will set as a light of the nations.”
Yeshayahu
(Is) 5:20
p 297
“Woe
to them that call evil tov, and tov evil; that put darkness for light and light
for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
Hoshea
6:5
p 453
“Therefore
have I cut at them by the neviim; I have slain them by the words of My
mouth; and My mishpatim are as the light
that goes forth.”
Mishpatim
= judgments (Torah)...
Mishle
(Prov) 4: 18
p 551
“But
the path of the tzadik (righteous) is as the shining light, that shines more
and more until the perfect yom of the olam haba.”
=
the path of the just/righteous like a shining light...
What
we ALSO need to know is
The
“new age” puts focus on “the
light”... but they are not looking at Torah!
We
need to know that Scriptures plainly define what light is...
the
commandments of our God... = Torah = The Living Torah.
If
you read Mishle (Prov) 4:18-22 you will
see “the way of wicked is like darkness”
This
LIGHT - the Torah - the Living Torah is the same light that was in creation
~
We
also know that light is slowing down....
ever
since 1980s we know light is slowing down
we
used to think it was a constant
86,282 miles per second
Now
we know that is slowing down ever so slowly.
This
means at one time it was much faster than it is now!
Some
scientists say that at the time of Messiah it was probably 30 X faster than it
is now!
Brad
says - being able to measure the slowing down of the light now we can
extrapolate that backwards.. and see 30%
faster at Messiah and probably thousands of times faster at creation!
We
also know that sound is made of particles and those things are slowing down as
well
So
it is very possible when Yah said “y’hiy ‘or” = “let there be light” - that
instantaneously there was light!!
Galutyah
continued.... teaching #4
We
must consider - what Matthew asked -
Do we want to live as children, nephos, in our relationship to Torah - the Book of the
Law, or as emancipated heirs ---which is
Book of the Covenant???
Because it is all Torah. It is all about Torah - all of Galutyah
-
BUT Yahusha changes your legal status
to Torah.
Not
understanding Torah and Book of the Covenant and Book of the Law and Galutyah
means....
....
you can remain blind to your legal status and interpret the Torah as either:
A - It (Torah)
is done away with. As Matthew
says ... “we’ve locked that doctrine up - right?” :) = It
is NOT done away with!!
or
B - the same as unregenerate Judaism.
Both
have no better legal status than that of a house slave in their relationship to
the Torah.
BUT
we want to have our legal status as emancipated!!
So that we can relate to the Torah in the
legal status as Yahusha has enabled us to
- by His blood ratification.
Galatians
is ALL about Torah and that is the the amazing truth about it. :)
Baruch
hashem YHUH!
You
see, Galatians is the foundation to understanding our
legal status as heirs of the Covenants of Torah
- the Covenant of Promises as opposed to the Book of the Law.
One
doesn’t do away with another.
Emancipation
restores you and your relationship to Torah.
But that is not done through the book of the
law it’s only done through that which was accepted by faith
Sh’mot
19:4-8
p 63
and
Sh’mot
24:7-8
p 66
All that YHUH has said we will do.
Freedom
and liberty for believers is the main thrust of
Galutyah.
Now
listen closely -
But it is not freedom FROM the Law - TO syncretism and
paganism and eventual lawlessness, Yah forbid!!
But rather freedom from the Book of the Law, and return to
Messiah’s blood ratified Book of the Covenant
given as Torah Heb 8:6, based upon the promises to Avraham.
Hebrews 8:6 p 818
“But no Yahusha ha moshiach has
obtained a greater service, by which He also is the Mediator of a more
advantageous brit, which was given as Torah based upon more advantageous
promises.”
More advantageous promises = the Book of the Covenant!
That’s what it’s talking about - you can’t
separate Galatians from it’s original Tanakh basis.
And
that is where the institutionalized church has gone terribly astray.
Because Galatians involves obedience to Torah, but it is the Book of the Covenant Torah
that was accepted by FAITH at the Mountain, because that is where you become emancipated and therefore heirs.
You understand, even in Roman law, because Rav
Shilac Shaul was very familiar with Roman law
- and he says a child is under guard until they are 14 years old, until
the time set forth by the father, even though they were a natural son, they
ONLY had the same rights as a household slave..
....even
though they were a natural son - oh you knew they had a different future on
hold for them,
but
until the time of emancipation, - the time set forth -
they
had no different legal rights -than that
of a household slave, -
-they
couldn’t inherit the father’s
estate.
They
couldn’t get the inheritance.
But
once they were emancipated, the time set forth which was about 14 years old
------ then their legal status changed
in relation to law, (Torah if you will) - and they became Heirs.
That
is what we are talking about. :)
We
are still in the introduction, but we
have to understand this... before we get into the text or we will not
understand
-the
Polemic = the warning between the law and the law.
The
dichotomy -the very different - Book of
the Covenant and the Book of the Law!
Matthew said “we have to deal with the law
verses and we have to deal with them differently than they have been dealt with
for 2,000 years.”
Because it is a travesty to think that YHUH gave Yisra’el the Book of the Covenant Torah
to place them into bondage. That is a
travesty!
“
No way does liberty mean being liberated from obedience to the Covenant.
There
is no way.”
Messiah
liberates / emancipates Yisra’el from what was imposed upon them at Sh’mot chapter 32
(The Golden Calf disaster) and
frees us -- to the wedding canopy of Mt Sinai where “all that Yah has said” -
the book of the Covenant - Torah - “we will do.”
That
is where our inheritance lays.
Our
inheritance doesn’t lie with the Book of the Law.
Our inheritance lies with -
-
Do we relate to Torah as a
child in immaturity,
-
or as one emancipated in maturity ??????
If
we just keep doing Torah parashahs...
... and please hear me - there is nothing wrong with studying Torah
parashahs... I am so grateful that YHUH had us focused on that for so long -
Because
coming out of the popular religion of the day - Christianity - we had NO idea
about what the Tanakh said!!!
We needed and still need to study Torah
parashahs....
BUT
we also must be aware of what Covenant we keep - and who made it
possible and how!!
Just
like Christianity who is not emancipated because of immaturity about
Torah
( You know - the “walk another way - but not
teaching WHAT way),
Judaism is a child, because they haven’t been
emancipated - because they don’t know the Melchizedek High Priest - Yahusha
HaMashiach - who came to show us how to live Torah, and died and rose that the
Bride could be restored and remarried, that we could have eternal life!!!
We
are learning the emet -
We have been
emancipated by Yahusha as an heir and
we relate back to the Torah of Avraham who never
knew a levite and never knew a tabernacle!
This is maturing and this has taken time and
seasoning and just like Rav Shiliac Shaul who had time and seasoning... and
what did they accuse him of? -
- Being lawless. - because he knew that he had been
emancipated from the Book of the Law Torah and knew he was in the New Book of
the Covenant Torah!!
And
if we read what this book of Galutyah really said - we will see that easily!!
We
are NOT doing away with the Torah at Harbour Light Ministries!
YHUH forbid!
But
we are done relating to it as a child!
It is time to walk in the maturity as a son
who has inherited everything that the father has for him.
And everything that the father has for you -
is wrapped up in Yahusha and His Melchizedek Priesthood.
Everything.
You
see, it was the fallen nature of Yisra’el that quickly changed things at Sh’mot
32 - the golden calf disaster - and the Book of the LAW- which was beyond what was agreed to .
Let’s
understand that - The Book of the Law -
went beyond what was agreed to by blood ratification in Sh’mot 24.
Juxtaposing
the law that was agreed to by faith (Book of the Covenant) --- and the law that was imposed upon (Book of the Law)- not faith - is the polemic
- the strong warning - of Galatians.
Plus -
We need to
realize how certain passages have been orientated by theologians and have been perceived
as anti-law - When in reality the major
theme in Shaul’s letter - is a warning about some kind of perversion - of the
Good News - The Besorah.
So
what we are going to do is dig up and make clear - the perversion of the
Besorah in Galatians and get an excellent understanding of the message of
redemption that this incredible book of Galutyah and tzedekah / righteousness.
*****
Tzedekah -
Righteousness must be understood by:
1.
Our
individual conversion - be individually purchased. = Individual righteousness.
Individual
conversion then brings about a :
2.
Corporate inclusion.
YHUH doesn’t want you to isolate yourself on a hill or in your house -
He wants you to be included in community. = Corporate righteousness
Then
that inclusion equips one for the life long journey of:
3. personal transformative sanctification
in
Tzedekah. = To work together in
corporate and individual sanctification.
It is better to travel together because when I fall - then you can pick me
up.
We
have known for awhile now, that is not just an individual concept like what is
taught today in the institutionalized church
= “Me and Jesus” - No!
- that is western individuality.
AND that is wrong.
To
Shaul, it wasn’t enough to be individually justified before YHUH.. you need to
be interconnected with the community of saints
= Interconnected in covenant.
And
you needed to share in the same blood ratification entry by Yahusha.
You
see, we need to understand Shaul was on the CUSP of the law - that transition
point... somethings still needed to be figured out - yes. And they needed to be discussed - yes. And the message went out to the nations..
yes....
Those from
Yahrushalayim were trying to define what the rules of corporate inclusion were
- that is what we have to understand -
they were trying to define what the rules of corporate inclusion were - and
apparently they weren’t doing too well because - Shaul called them what??? - Those who were “propagating
another
gospel”.
So,
before we even get into Galatians, we need to, in the 21st century figure
out ---what is the true gospel.
~
There
are 10 Authenticating Truths of the True Melchizedek Besorah / Gospel :
1. The Book of the Covenant and the Book of the
Law are not 81 synonymous. D’barim 31:26
2.
There has been a change of Law. Heb 7:12; 7:18 and Gen 49:10
3.The
rightly dividing point of the law is Sh’mot 24:11. We keep the Covenant Torah from Gen 1:1 - Ex
24:11, not the added Book of the Law that is against us. We must rightly divide Torah, dove tailing
into the rest of the Word. Ya breathed
for teaching and correction. 2 Tim. 3:6
4.
The book of the law was added after the
Golden Calf Breech. A false gospel
propagates that only the Levitical priesthood
was added after the Golden calf breech.
BUT Hebrews 7:11 exposes this as another gospel. - “If therefore perfection were by the
Levitical priesthood - for under it the people received the law what further
need was there than another kohen should arise after the order of MalkiTzedek,
and not be called after the order of Aharon?”
What law did people receive under the
levitical priesthood? It can’t be the
Torah Book of the Covenant....b/c they received that in Ex 19- Ex 24, before
the invention of the Levitical priesthood.
This
leaves the only thing they received under the levitical priesthood = the book of the Law.
5.The
book of Ezekiel isn’t millennial, but a collection of 13 date
-stamped scrolls.
6.
Yirmeyahu (Jer) 33:17 p 377 “For this
says YHUH; Dawid shall never lack an heir to sit upon the kesay (throne) of
Beit Yisra’el.” --- Speaks to the
kingship and Levitical conditional covenant/promise, outlined in I Kings
9:5 and Jeremiah 22:30 which Yisra’el broke = a conditional covenant - because there is not an everlasting Levitical
priesthood and there has not been an everlasting king sitting on the throne in
Jerusalem for the past 2000 years.
NO - people like to divorce this
- from I Kings 9:5 and Jeremiah 22:30 - the context of a conditional covenant which
was broken!
7.
There is an order of Melchizedek priests
here on earth. The
Master’s prayer shows us this...”Let your kingdom come on earth as it is
heaven.”
Trying
to isolate Heb 8:4 as a prof text
divorced from the 7 preceding chapters in Hebrews is disingenuous, but
that is what people do.
8.
The Melchizedek priesthood of believers are the true temple. The temple that The Temple Institute has
planned will in fact be, not the true temple, but the abomination that Yah has
told us about in His scripture, to be avoiding.
B/c he has already chosen his temple.
He has already chosen his Melchizedek priests, Heb 9:10.
9.
You can not add to an already blood ratified covenant. Ex 24:7 and Gal 3:15. If the book of the
covenant was blood ratified that means that you can not add anything to
it. So that when the law is mentioned...
come up here and receive this law also - Ex 24:12... can that be part of the
already blood ratified Covenant?
Absolutely not. Absolutely
not. It can not be - it is ANOTHER
LAW... you have to deal with that. and people that oppose the True gospel will
skim over these things. church commentaries don’t address the book of the law. You have to address what IS the book of the
law.
10.
The context the context the context of Galatians is the dichotomy between
the book of the law that we are freed from, and the new covenant given as torah
- the Book of the Covenant - which Messiah’s blood has enabled us to be
partakers of - the Covenant of Promise!
Which we were strangers cut off from.
That faith that we are now part of (Ephesians 2).
Sh’ma
Yisra’el
