WHAT DOES ALL THIS REALLY MEAN AND WHAT DOES SCRIPTURE SAY ABOUT IT?
By Jay Scher
What does יהושע Messiah tell us about this? Do his words carry any weight anymore? In this days world I tend to think they don’t. Is that not a sad thing to have to say? It really is. Then we have people that think they were saved at age 4 and then immersed at age 5. I am sorry, but at age 4 we don’t have the spiritual maturity to even understand the salvation message let alone everything that goes along with the commitment that one needs to make for the rest of their lives. They are not going to be a living sacrifice or know how to all those years growing up. They are going to be outside playing with their friends having fun. Even most teen agers don’t understand what they are taking on and what covenant relationship with "Father Yah and our Dear, Dear יהושע Messiah", is all about. They don’t realize the commitment they are making. So people just don’t take messiah at his word at all. They step all over it and make fun of those who keep it dear.
He did come to complete things, but not in the way that many people want to think he did. He is completing things, but it is not all done yet. He died, so when we repent for our sins we can be forgiven for them and so we are no longer under the death penalty for breaking commandments 2-7 and all the Feast days as we were in the first covenant. In the first covenant we could be stoned right away for breaking those commands. Now he also magnified the law, so if we dwell about sin it is the same as committing the sin without actually committing the action. He is also now our “High Priest and Intercessor”, as before we had Men that were our high priests. There are still many things that have not happened yet. The Kingdom is not here, his second coming has not occurred, there are way too many things to say he has completed things or fulfilled all things by being the final blood sacrifice for us. People just honestly are not looking at the full picture of what he had promised us and what the true plan for mankind really is. It just boggles my mind how he starts off in this verse saying he did not come to do away with the Torah/Law or the profits, but then because the word “complete or fulfill” is in there, people automatically think that negates the first part of the verse. How does this thinking come about and why is it so stuck in people’s minds? It comes from false teacher that want to tell people it is OK to feel good about sinning because we have grace now and he did it all for you so you have to nothing now, but believe in him. He just told us that is not what he came to do, but so many people want to think that is exactly what he came to do and we don't need to keep the commandments or the Feast days. Read it, it is so simple/ Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets.1 I did not come to destroy..... So we have it right there. He is not the destroyer of the commands, we know who is the destroyer and king of this world at this time, but people don’t want to think about that. This next part of the verse just messes that all up for people. Here is the next part; "but to complete or fulfill in some translations". So those three or two little words "BUT TO COMPLETE OR TO FULFIL" people just don't understand. Then Messiah throws out even more information for all of so no one gets confused, to make sure people understand what he is saying; Mat 5:18 “For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done.
Mat 5:19 “Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these commands, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the reign of the heavens; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens.
NOT ONE JOT OR TITTLE SHALL PASS, which means it stays and we keep it. Then he goes further to make sure we understand it again. He knows how much humans can forget from one verse to the next. He tells us we are not to teach others it is “OK TO BREAK THE COMMANDMENTS”. WHAT DO PEOPLE DO??? JUST THAT, why do they do that? Because of these three tiny little words that they can't get wrapped around their mind "BUT TO COMPLETE OR TO FULFILL". The prophecies of the prophets have not been fulfilled yet. All things have not been completed. The Kingdom is not here, the resurrections have not taken place yet. There is still so much that has to take place. How do those three words change anything in the rest of the three verses that he said? THEY DON'T! Paul didn’t come along to teach against our Messiah either as so many people seems to think he did. He didn’t bring along a new gospel as so many people think he did. They always want to go to Galatians and totally take it out of context. They want to hold up Galatians on this high pole and think it some how crosses out the rest of the scriptures! Even if you think Pual/Shalul did bring along this new gospel that said all the commands are done away with. His words don’t trump יהושע Messiah and he doesn't have the authorization to change the Good News message! Please dwell on these words. I know I am preaching to choir for some, but for many they will and do think I am crazy, "CRAZY" I tell you and I am just fine with that!
May Yah”s Favor, Wisdom, Endurance and Shalom be upon all those who walk In the Way WITH BROTHERLY LOVE IN THE BODY OF יהושע MESSIAH Brother Jay
