Shalom.
Our teaching from Torah, The Law of Moses will continue from Deuteronomy 11.1-9.
AND THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE IS, YESHUA THE MESSIAH SAID, DO NOT THINK THAT I HAVE COME TO DESTROY THE LAW OR THE PROPHETS. I DID NOT COME TO DESTROY, BUT TO FULFILL.
And with that said, Let’s read Deuteronomy 11.1-9.
The Law of Moses that is Written from Genesis through Deuteronomy teaches about The Creation, The Beginnings of Mankind, The History of The Jewish People, and GOD’S Laws and Teachings that are Written for all mankind to live by.
And The book of Deuteronomy reviews The Law of Moses.
DEUTERONOMY 11.1 Therefore The Bible Teaches all mankind to Love The LORD Your GOD, to Keep His Charge, His Statutes, His Judgments, and His Commandments always.
HOW DO YOU PROVE TO GOD THAT YOU LOVE HIM?
MESSIAH YESHUA, WHO IS GOD ALMIGHTY, THE FATHER HAS A SIMPLE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IN JOHN 14.15.
IF YOU LOVE ME, MESSIAH SAYS, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.
MESSIAH YESHUA IS GOD ALMIGHTY WHO GAVE THE LAW TO MOSES TO GIVE TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE TO RECORD IT IN THE BIBLE FOR ALL MANKIND TO LIVE BY.
That is why GOD made The Jewish People His chosen People. To write the entire Bible from Genesis through Revelation for all the world to Know GOD. To Believe there is Only One GOD. And Understand what GOD requires of you to have a Successful and Prosperous life on earth, and Eternal Life in Heaven. DEUTERONOMY 7.6, ISAIAH 43.10
IF YOU LOVE ME, MESSIAH SAYS, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS. AND MESSIAH IS GOD ALMIGHTY, HA SHEM ELOHIM.
WHAT ARE GOD’S COMMANDMENTS?
GOD’S COMMANDMENTS ARE THE ENTIRE LAW OF MOSES AND EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.
DEUTERONOMY 8.3, MATTHEW 4.4
PROOF OF LOVING MESSIAH YESHUA IS KEEPING THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, THE ENTIRE LAW OF MOSES, AND EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE.
AND GOD’S COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT DIFFICULT. 1 JOHN 5.3
And The Bible continues in Deuteronomy 11.1, And Keep His Charge, and His Statutes, and His Judgments, and His Commandments always.
Keeping GOD’S Charge is Obeying His Commands and Instructions that are written in The Bible.
Keeping GOD’S Judgments is making your Decisions, Verdicts, or Judgment according to The Law of Moses.
WHAT DOES THE WORD KEEP MEAN WHEN KEEPING GOD’S CHARGE, HIS STATUTES, HIS JUDGMENTS, AND HIS COMMANDMENTS?
The Word KEEP in Hebrew is SHAH’MAHR that means to Guard and Protect.
Therefore Guard and Protect GOD’S Charge, His Statutes, His Judgments, and His Commandments in your heart so that you will never let them leave you.
IF YOU LOVE ME, MESSIAH SAYS, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.
When I hear Preachers and Bible Teachers say that The Law of Moses is abolished, I think of the serpent in the Garden of Eden leading humanity astray.
Because GOD said to Adam, From every tree in the garden you may freely eat. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it. Because in the day you eat of it, you will surely die. GENESIS 2.15-17
But the serpent, called the devil and satan, who deceives the whole world, lied to Eve and said, YOU WILL NOT SURELY DIE because GOD knows that in the day you eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil your eyes will be opened and you will be like GOD knowing good and evil. GENESIS 3.1-5, REVELATION 12.9
GOD DID NOT GIVE ADAM A BIBLE STUDY. HE SIMPLY TOLD HIM, DO NOT EAT FROM THAT TREE LEST YOU DIE.
Satan lies all the time. And unfortunately, so do his messengers.
So Adam and Eve, who were created to live forever, disobeyed GOD. They ate of the tree GOD told them not to eat from. And they died years later. It is written in GENESIS 5.5
Unfortunately many of the preachers and teachers of The Bible today are like the serpent in The Garden of Eden. They teach people to disobey GOD when they tell them that The Law of Moses is abolished.
I was flipping through the channels this past Sunday, and here comes this Preacher or Bible Teacher saying, Jesus just finished teaching in the church, he said.
Hey Preacher, there were no churches in Israel in the days of Jesus. Jesus was teaching in The Temple or a Synagogue.
And then this Preacher told his Congregation the lie. He said, And Jesus told The People, Listen to this lie, Jesus told The People, When I die, The Law of Moses will be abolished. You won’t have to obey it anymore because you are saved by grace. All you have to do is believe in Jesus and you’re going straight to Heaven.
And then the TV cameras focused on some in his congregation. Most in agreement, shaking their heads in approval.
Satan lying in The Garden of Eden.
One of the objections I hear often about not obeying The Law of Moses is that Jesus came to fulfill The Law. Therefore The Law is abolished, they say. And that is so untrue. MATTHEW 5.17
GOD ALMIGHTY, YESHUA THE MESSIAH, SAID, DO NOT THINK THAT I HAVE COME TO DESTROY THE LAW OR THE PROPHETS.
That should end the discussion.
But no, the doctrine of huge numbers of believers in Jesus Christ say that Jesus came to fulfill The Law. Therefore The Law of Moses is abolished. That is so not true.
MESSIAH THEN SAID, I HAVE NOT COME TO DESTROY, BUT TO FULFILL.
YES. MESSIAH DID COME TO FULFILL.
MESSIAH CAME TO FULFILL EVERYTHING THAT IS PROPHESIED OF HIM AT HIS FIRST COMING THAT IS WRITTEN IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
MESSIAH YESHUA FULFILLED HUNDREDS OF OLD TESTAMENT PROPHESIES THAT APPLY TO THE JEWISH MESSIAH, SUCH AS;
MESSIAH HAD TO BE BORN OF A JEWISH VIRGIN. HE FULFILLED THAT PROPHESY.
MESSIAH MUST BE THE DESCENDANT OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB, JUDAH AND DAVID. MESSIAH FULFILLED THOSE PROPHESIES AS WELL.
MESSIAH MUST BE GOD HAVING ETERNAL EXISTENCE, AND BE BORN IN BETHLEHEM. HE FULFILLED THOSE PROPHESIES.
MESSIAH MUST BE WONDERFUL, OUR COUNSELOR, THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, THE PRINCE OF PEACE. HE HAS FULFILLED THOSE PROPHESIES.
MESSIAH MUST DO MANY MIRACLES OF HEALING AND RAISING THE DEAD. HE FULFILLED THOSE PROPHESIES.
MESSIAH YESHUA MUST BE HATED WITHOUT CAUSE. THAT PROPHESY IS CERTAINLY FULFILLED.
MESSIAH CAME TO TEACH THE LAW OF MOSES TO JEWS AND GENTILES BY WRITING HIS LAW IN OUR HEARTS TO OBEY IT. HE FULFILLED THAT PROPHESY.
AND MESSIAH CAME TO GIVE HIS LIFE TO BE OUR ATONEMENT. HE FULFILLED THAT PROPHESY AS WELL. AND SO MANY MORE.
LET’S LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE PROPHESIES MESSIAH YESHUA FULFILLED, BECAUSE HE SAID, I DID NOT COME TO DESTROY THE LAW OR THE PROPHETS, BUT TO FULFILL.
MESSIAH FULFILLED THE PROPHESY OF BEING BORN OF A JEWISH VIRGIN.
ISAIAH 7.14. FULFILLED IN MATTHEW 1.21-23

MESSIAH YESHUA FULFILLED THE PROPHESY OF GIVING HIS LIFE FOR OUR ATONEMENT.
HEBREW BIBLE PSALM 22.15-16, CHRISTIAN BIBLE PSALM 22.14-15, ISAIAH 53.5-7, 10-12, ZECHARIAH 12.10, LEVITICUS 17.11. FULFILLED IN JOHN 19.17-18, ROMANS 5.11
AND SO MANY MORE PROPHESIES DID MESSIAH FULFILL.
MESSIAH NEVER CAME TO DESTROY THE LAW OR THE PROPHETS. THAT IS A LIE OF SATAN.
THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE NEW TESTAMENT ARE ONE BIBLE. AND BOTH THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS HAVE THE SAME GOD AND THE SAME LAWS.
But now in Messiah Yeshua you should walk in Newness of Life, that you should no longer serve sin. Sin is breaking The Law of Moses. ROMANS 6.4, 6, 1 JOHN 3.4
Walking in Newness of Life is having Messiah Yeshua for your Atonement. And living your life according to GOD’S Law of Moses, and Every Word that GOD speaks in The Bible. That is Walking in Newness of Life.
AND THAT IS WHAT LEADS TO A GOOD AND PROSPEROUS LIFE ON EARTH, AND ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN.
AND THAT IS THE GOSPEL.
DEUTERONOMY 11.2-7 Moses said, He is not speaking to their children who have not known the Chastisement, that is the Punishment of The LORD for not obeying Him. And have not seen GOD’S Greatness, His Mighty Hand and His Stretched out Arm, and His Miracles, and His Acts which He did in Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to all his land.
And what GOD did to the Egyptian army, to their horses, and to their chariots. How He Made The Red Sea overflow them as they pursued after you. And how The LORD destroyed them even to this day.
And what He did to you in the wilderness until you came to this place, the land of Canaan. GOD saved you in battles. He gave you a Law and Teachings and Instructions called The Law of Moses to live your lives in Righteousness in The Sight of GOD.
He miraculously fed you three meals a day for forty years where there were no restaurants in the wilderness. No McDonalds or IHOPs. GOD fed you every day with manna and quail, and drinking water. And GOD gave your animals food and water every day in the wilderness. And He brought you to The Promised Land Flowing with Milk and Honey. A fertile land in abundance.
And what GOD did to Dathan and Abiram when they and two hundred and fifty men of reknown, famous in The Congregation of Israel who rose up against Moses and Aaron and rebelled against their leadership. Therefore rebelling against GOD and His leadership.
And The LORD spoke to Moses saying, Separate yourselves from this Congregation for I will consume them in a moment. And Moses and Aaron fell on their faces pleading with The LORD, saying, Shall one man sin and will you be angry with all The Congregation?
And The Lord said to Moses, Speak to The Congregation and say to them, Get away from the tabernacles of these men.
And it came to pass that the ground busted open under the rebels. And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, and their houses. And all the men that were part of the rebels, and all their goods. And all that belonged to them went down alive into the pit. And the earth closed upon them, and they perished from among The Congregation.
And all Israel that saw the earth swallow the rebels ran at the cry of them. For they said, Lest the earth swallow us also. And fire came out from The LORD and consumed the two hundred and fifty men who rebelled against Moses, and Aaron, and The LORD. NUMBERS 16
Your eyes have seen all the great acts of The LORD which He did, Moses told The Congregation of Israel.
DEUTERONOMY 11.8-9 THEREFORE YOU SHALL KEEP ALL THE COMMANDMENTS WHICH I COMMAND YOU THIS DAY. THAT YOU SHALL BE STRONG AND GO IN AND POSSESS THE LAND THAT YOU GO TO POSSESS.
AND THAT YOU PROLONG YOUR DAYS IN THE LAND WHICH THE LORD SWORE TO YOUR FATHERS TO GIVE TO THEM AND TO THEIR DESCENDANTS THAT FLOWS WITH MILK AND HONEY.
THE WORDS MOSES SPOKE APPLY TO YOU AND ME AND EVERYONE EVERYWHERE.
BE STRONG AND KEEP ALL THE COMMANDMENTS AND EVERY WORD THAT GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE INCLUDING THE LAW OF MOSES.
AND YOU WILL POSSESS THE LAND.
FOR US TODAY, WE WILL POSSESS THE ONE THOUSAND YEAR MESSIANIC KINGDOM IN ISRAEL, AND ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN IF YOU KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD YOUR GOD.
AND ATONEMENT IN MESSIAH YESHUA IS A COMMANDMENT OF GOD WRITTEN IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
FOR THE NEW TESTAMENT IS THE WORD OF GOD.
SO AS GOD SAID TO JOSHUA, BE STRONG AND VERY COURAGEOUS THAT YOU OBSERVE TO DO ACCORDING TO ALL THE LAW WHICH MY SERVANT COMMANDED YOU.
WE ALSO SHOULD DO THE SAME. JOSHUA 1.7-9
THINK ON THOSE WORDS FOREVER.
Shalom.
