Righteous human/righteous jew

The “Good News” for All Humanity

A Declaration of Dependence on the Law Code given by the Creator, all the while harmonizing the prophets and the testimony of the Son of Man, AKA the Jewish Jesus.

“We hold this Truth to be self-evident, that humans are NOT self-created…therefore, let us listen and obey.”

“Righteous Human…Righteous Jew”

Doing what is right in the eyes of the Creator.

 And Enoch rose up according to the word of the Lord, and went forth from his house, from his place and from the chamber in which he was concealed; and he went to the sons of men and taught them the ways of the Lord, and at that time assembled the sons of men and acquainted them with the instruction of the Lord.

The Book of Jasher 3:5

  And the spirit of God was upon Enoch, and he taught all his men the wisdom of God and his ways, and the sons of men served the Lord all the days of Enoch, and they came to hear his wisdom. 

The Book of Jasher 3:8

 And Enoch reigned over the sons of men two hundred and forty-three years, and he did justice and righteousness with all his people, and he led them in the ways of the Lord. 

The Book of Jasher 3:12

 And he taught them wisdom and knowledge, and gave them instruction, and he reproved them, and he placed before them statutes and judgments to do upon earth, and he made peace amongst them, and he taught them everlasting life, and dwelt with them some time teaching them all these things. 

The Book of Jasher 3:26

 
"Be careful to obey all these words that I command you, that it may go well with you and with your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the sight of the Lord your God." 

Deuteronomy 12:28      

The Purpose:

• ADONAI (Master), who is the Creator of Earth and Humanity, Architect of the Universe and the God of the Jews; 

sustains our very lives.  ADONAI from the very beginning designed humans to interact with Him and seek wisdom and understanding for everlasting life.

• Every breath, heartbeat, bone, muscle and organ of our body is a gift from ADONAI. Life is a miracle and is sacred.

• Our life in every way is utterly dependent upon ADONAI.

• ADONAI is worthy of honor, fear, complete devotion, allegiance, and delight.

• Our purpose in life is to honor, fear and obey ADONAI by worshipping and praising Him forever. He made humans so that we may enjoy His creation and our existence.

“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
 Tell me, if you have understanding.
Who determined its measurements—surely you know!
 Or who stretched the line upon it?
On what were its bases sunk,
 or who laid its cornerstone,
when the morning stars sang together
 and all the sons of God shouted for joy?”

Job 38:4-7

The Problem (Self-Rule):

• ADONAI is holy and just, we are not. In the hereafter we are going to stand before ADONAI and will be judged based on what has been written down regarding our lives; all that encompasses action, deed and thought.

"Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence the earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.  And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."

Revelation: 20:11-15

We will be judged based on ADONAI’s Law Code regarding our righteousness (doing what is right in the eyes of ADONAI) or our unrighteousness (doing what is right in our own eyes).

“And what great nation is there, that has statutes and rules so righteous as all this law 

that I set before you today?”

Deuteronomy 4:8

“You shall not do according to all that we are doing here today, everyone doing whatever 

is right in his own eyes.” 

Deuteronomy 12:8

“The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.”

Deuteronomy 29:29

“The Lord judges the peoples;
 judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness
 and according to the integrity that is in me.”

Psalm 7:8

The Lord dealt with me according to my righteousness;
 according to the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me.
For I have kept the ways of the Lord,
 and have not wickedly departed from my God.
For all his rules were before me,
 and his statutes I did not put away from me.
 I was blameless before him,
 and I kept myself from my guilt.
So the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
 according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

Psalm 18:20-24

“If a man is righteous and does what is just and right, if he does not eat upon the mountains or lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, does not defile his neighbor's wife or approach a woman in her time of menstrual impurity, does not oppress anyone, but restores to the debtor his pledge, commits no robbery, gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with a garment, does not lend at interest or take any profit, withholds his hand from injustice, executes true justice 

between man and man, walks in my statutes, and keeps my rules by acting faithfully—he is righteous; 

he shall surely live, declares the Lord God.”

Ezekiel 18:5-9

“But when a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and does injustice and does the same abominations that the wicked person does, shall he live? None of the righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered; for the treachery of which he is guilty and the sin he has committed, for them he shall die.”

Ezekiel 18:24

“When a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and does injustice, he shall die for it; for the injustice 

that he has done he shall die.”

Ezekiel 18:26

“For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”

Matthew 5:20

“You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”

Matthew 5:48

And behold, a man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?”  And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments.”

Matthew 19:16-17

The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.

Matthew 13:41-43

“And by this we know that we have come to know him if we keep his commandments.  Whoever says, “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected.”

1 John 2:3-5

• We have failed to honor and fear the Creator. We have ignored Him, rebelled against Him, disobeyed His laws, and lived our lives as if He didn’t exist. We have made ourselves the center of the universe. ADONAI calls this rebellion, disobedience, unrighteousness, unfaithfulness, faithlessness, wickedness, an abomination, iniquity, whoring, evil, transgression or better known as “sin”. These are ADONAI’s terms, not humans, and they are NOT negotiable.

• We are bound by the consequence of our disobedience i.e., “self-rule”. We are enslaved by the delusion that we are in control of our lives. We worship the idol of ourselves and our intellect; all the while being fueled by our arrogance and ignorance, in order to live out our best life now.

• We all naturally experience this problem called “self-rule”, no different than Adam and Eve. We become an adversary, i.e., an enemy of the Creator, when we operate in our natural desires and ignore the rules set down by the Creator. Hasatan is the Great Adversary (Satan means adversary).  All Hasatan did was ask Eve a simple question, “Did God actually say?”. Eve and Adam then made the choice to disobey the Creator by simply eating what they were told not to, an instruction even a two-year old could have followed; it was a test. 

After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”

Genesis 22:1

There the Lord made for them a statute and a rule, and there he tested them, saying, “If you will diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, your healer.”

Exodus 15:25-26

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I am about to rain bread from heaven for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law or not.”

Exodus 16:4

Moses said to the people, “Do not fear, for God has come to test you, that the fear of him may be before you, that you may not sin.”

Exodus 20:20

“And you shall remember the whole way that the Lord your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, testing you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not.”

Deuteronomy 8:2

“Take care lest you forget the Lord your God by not keeping his commandments and his rules and his statutes, which I command you today, lest, when you have eaten and are full and have built good houses and live in them, and when your herds and flocks multiply and your silver and gold is multiplied and all that you have is multiplied, then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, who led you through the great and terrifying wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water, who brought you water out of the flinty rock, who fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers did not know, that he might humble you and test you, 

to do you good in the end.” 

Deuteronomy 8:11-16

“If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or wonder that he tells you comes to pass, and if he says, ‘Let us go after other gods,’ which you have not known, ‘and let us serve them, ‘you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams. For the Lord your God is testing you, to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear him and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and hold fast to him.”

Deuteronomy 13:1-4

“I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations that Joshua left when he died, in order to test Israel by them, whether they will take care to walk in the way of the Lord as their fathers did, or not.” So the Lord left those nations, not driving them out quickly, and he did not give them into the hand of Joshua

Joshua 2:21-23

They were for the testing of Israel, to know whether Israel would obey the commandments of the Lord, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

Judges 3:4

“Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end, and may you establish the righteous— you who test the minds and hearts, 

O righteous God!”

Psalm 7:9

“The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.”

Psalm 11:5

“You have tried my heart, you have visited me by night, you have tested me, and you will find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.”
Psalm 17:3

“Prove me, O Lord, and try me; test my heart and my mind.”

Psalm 26:2

“The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and the Lord tests hearts.”

Proverbs 17:3

“I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.”

Jeremiah 17:10

“Let us test and examine our ways, and return to the Lord!”

Lamentations 3:40

“And I will put this third into the fire, and refine them as one refines silver, and test them as gold is tested. They will call upon my name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are my people’; and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”

Zechariah 13:9

“Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness, where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years. Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart; they have not known my ways.’ As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest.’”

Hebrews 3:7-11

Adam and Eve were the first humans to rebel against ADONAI. The consequence was death. Never forget, the Creator owns everything, even your soul. He is going to do exactly what He has promised.

The Lord is a jealous and avenging God;
 the Lord is avenging and wrathful;
the Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries
 and keeps wrath for his enemies.

Nahum 1:2

“Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins (disobeys) shall die.”

Ezekiel 18:4

“And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.”

Matthew 10:28

“Whoever makes a practice of sinning (disobeying) is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning (doing his own thing) from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.  No one born of God makes a practice of sinning (disobeying), for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning (doing their own thing), because he has been born of God.  By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness (obeying the Law Code) is not of God.”

1 John 3:8-10

We must replace “self-rule” with the ADONAI’s Law Code. ADONAI stated clearly, we are to overcome our “self-rule”.

“If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin (self-rule) is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it.”

Genesis 4:7

• Consequently, the Creator will decide who will be invited back to reside on the “new earth” and those souls that will be destroyed at the end of the age.

Then the One sitting on the throne said, “Look! I am making everything new!” Also he said, “Write, these words are true and trustworthy!’” And he said to me, “It is done! I am the ‘A’ and the ‘Z,’ the Beginning and the End. To anyone who is thirsty I myself will give water free of charge from the Fountain of Life.  He who wins the victory will receive these things, and I will be his God, and he will be my son.  But as for the cowardly, the untrustworthy, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those involved with the occult and with drugs, idol-worshippers, and all liars — their destiny is the lake burning with fire and sulfur, the second death.”

Revelation 21:5-8

The Solution for Humanity:

• From the very beginning of humanity’s existence, ADONAI has provided humans with instructions for everlasting life. The main focus of these instructions is responsibilities, NOT rights. Sixteen hundred years later, God flooded the earth as punishment for humanity failing to obey His rules. He continued to pass on His rules through Noah and then to Abraham. 

• In his mercy and grace, over 3300 years ago, ADONAI provided the Jewish people with a righteous Law Code located in the Torah (first five books of the Tanakh/Bible). He sent His Judges and Prophets for centuries to call back the disobedient nation of Israel. Israel’s response throughout their history was to kill and stone those righteous men.

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it!”

Matthew 23:37

In His final message to the Jewish people, ADONAI sent his Son, Y’shua (aka Jesus) and John the Baptist, to warn Israel of the price for failing to return to the Law Code. In response, the religious leaders brought charges against Y’shua which in turn caused him to be executed in 30 CE, thereby breaking the covenant ADONAI had made with the Jewish people.

“Now therefore write this song and teach it to the people of Israel. Put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the people of Israel.  For when I have brought them into the land flowing with milk and honey, which I swore to give to their fathers, and they have eaten and are full and grown fat, they will turn to other gods and serve them, 

and despise me and break my covenant.”

Deuteronomy 31:19-20

Y’shua demonstrated how to live a perfect life of obedience to ADONAI in accordance with the Law Code aided by the Spirit of Truth.  Y’shua clearly stated that the Law Code was to be in effect until the end of the age.

“For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, 

will pass from the Law.” 

Matthew 5:18

But most importantly, the death on the cross ushered in the transfer of the Levitical sacrificial authority to Y’shua as well as the kingly authority to execute justice.  Secondly, the sacrifices at the Temple were no longer efficacious.  As well, certain parts of the Law Code have been suspended until Y’shua returns to redeem and rule as King in Israel.

“Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.”

1 Peter 3:21-22

“Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works, and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to your works.”

Revelation 2:22-23

From 30 CE, the Temple sacrifices were no longer efficacious as demonstrated by the tearing of the parochet (curtain) in the Temple and the four ominous signs (mentioned in both the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmud) at the Temple for 40 years prior to the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE.

Jerusalem Talmud

"Forty years before the destruction of the Temple, the western light went out, the crimson thread remained crimson, and the lot for the Lord always came up in the left hand. They would close the gates of the Temple by night and get up in the morning 

and find them wide open."

(Jacob Neusner, The Yerushalmi, p.156-157).

Babylonian Talmud

"Our rabbis taught: During the last forty years before the destruction of the Temple the lot ['For the Lord'] did not come up in the right hand; nor did the crimson-colored strap become white; nor did the western most light shine; and the doors of the Hekel [Temple] would open by themselves." 

(Soncino version, Yoma 39b)

•  ADONAI so desired for the Jews not to be blotted out of the BOOK of Life that He sent His Son Y’shua to warn the Jews and all humanity of the price for disobedience to the Law Code, which is eternal destruction.

• When ADONAI raised Y’shua from the dead, He settled the heated debate among the Jews (and humanity) regarding whether there is life after death.

And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split.  The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many.  When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, 

“Truly this was the Son of God!”

Matthew 27:51-54

In recognizing the Law Code and the “testimony of Y’shua”, ADONAI forgives a person’s transgressions and declares that person to be righteous as long as that person continues to be faithful to the Law Code and the “testimony of Y’shua”. 

This is the “New Covenant”.

“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord.  For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.  And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, 

and I will remember their sin no more.”

Jeremiah 31:31-34

• Therefore, the Gospel “Good News”, is corporate, aligning itself with the Law Code. The entire Kingdom of Israel was to SHEMA. The SHEMA is the preamble to the Law Code:

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love (be loyal) the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart.  You shall teach them diligently to your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.  You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.” 

Deuteronomy 6:4-8

And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”  Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love (obey) the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind

and with all your strength.”

Mark 12:28-30

Starting with parents and going all the way to the king; nobody was to be above the Law Code. In fact, Y’shua should be considered the “walking, talking Law Code”.  It’s a message of historical fact, describing who Y’shua was and what he did two thousand years ago. Even current day rabbis acknowledge the historical reality of Y’shua’s existence and that he taught and obeyed the Law Code.

• The gospel is personal as well. The Creator referred to the Jews as “the children of Israel”.  ADONAI’s role as a loyal Father protecting Israel is stated throughout the Bible. Y’shua reminded the Jews of this during His ministry.

“How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!”

Matthew 23:37

When a person makes the decision to overcome their “self-rule”, adopt the Law Code, acknowledge the “testimony of Y’shua” and be baptized, ADONAI provides the Spirit of Truth to guide them through this life.

“If you love (loyal) me, you will keep my commandments.  And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you."

John 14:15-17

“For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother”.

Matthew 12:50

“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, 

he cannot enter the kingdom of God.”

John 3:5

The Here & Now:

• From the very beginning ADONAI has provided instructions for humans to follow. These instructions were codified over 3300 years in current day Saudi Arabia at Jebel al Lawz (Mount Horeb).

“Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love (loyal) him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations (25 x1000 = 25,000 years “hyperbole”) and repays to their face those 

who hate (disobey) him, by destroying them.”

Deuteronomy 7:9-10

And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him.  “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”  And he said to him, “You shall love (loyal) the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.  This is the great and first commandment.  And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.  

On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

Matthew 22:35-40

ADONAI expects you to know His Law Code (613 rules) and to teach your children. Life and blessings come about from obeying while death and curses follow if one disobeys the Law Code.

“I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore, choose life, that you and your offspring may live.”

Deuteronomy 30:19

Since the death of Y’shua, one must acknowledge the Word (Law Code) AND the testimony of Y’shua.

• Consequently, you live between the tension of the now and the not-yet. Your hope is founded on a kingdom that has yet to be established because of the historical failure of the Jewish people.

“O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules.  We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.  To you, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us open shame, as at this day, to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, those who are near and those who are far away, in all the lands to which you have driven them, because of the treachery that they have committed against you.  “To us, O Lord, belongs open shame, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.  To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God by walking in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.  All Israel has transgressed your law and turned aside, refusing to obey your voice. And the curse and oath that are written in the Law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out upon us, because we have sinned against. him.”

Daniel 9:4-11

Your life becomes measured when you apply SHEMA (daily), the Saturday Sabbath (weekly) and the seven festivals (yearly). ADONAI has made promises to watch over those that follow His Law Code:

“I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate (ignore) me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love (loyal) me and keep my commandments.”

Exodus 20:5-6

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

Matthew 6:33

• First and foremost, you must exam your own life and your own mind in order to comprehend that humans first and foremost live by their own set of rules to fulfill their desires. The more you study the instructions from ADONAI the more you will begin to perceive how ADONAI expects humans to think and live. In other words, you will be “born again”. This is exactly what was expected of the Hebrews when they were guided by ADONAI into the wilderness to receive the Law Code.

“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

John 3:3

This will be mentally challenging as humans have been raised under different law codes in different countries throughout history. Find an audio Bible and listen to the Old Testament (Tanakh) on a regular basis. Focus specifically when ADONAI is speaking or His prophets. Spend time listening to the entire book of Deuteronomy and Psalm 119. Bible Gateway online provides audio readings of the Bible. Try the ESV, read by Max Mclean. Every morning before you get out of bed, recite the SHEMA and spend about an hour listening to the Scriptures. Print out the SHEMA and put one in every room of your house. Make sure you memorize it.

• You must immediately begin an arduous study program of the Bible. I recommend Tom Bradford’s online study. The website is www.torahclass.com. This will provide better context to the 613 laws that ADONAI gave to Israel.

IMPORTANT NOTICE!

Please note that Tom does NOT specifically focus on the Law Code, he teaches the Bible. But it is the only study out there that is incredibly thorough and comprehensive from a historical and cultural perspective. Tom also fails to establish the “Two Master” model and has not separated from Christianity and its theologians. Christianity focuses on man-made doctrines and uses verses out of context while ignoring the Jewish Law Code. Christianity is a religion that was created by Gentile Roman theologians. ADONAI forbids all human religions. Religions play favorites; Adonai does not and will not play favorites. All humans are subject to His Law Code.

Second, study the history of the Jewish people as well as other ancient cultures and their law codes.  You will need to do a comparative analysis of the laws that are same, similar, different and absolutely unique to ADONAI’s Law Code.  Most importantly, talk to the Creator for help in understanding His Law Code. This is critical, as ADONAI wants us to talk to Him.  He is a personal God and has your best interest at heart and He demands that we are engaged with the Law Code.

“If one turns away his ear from hearing the law,
 even his prayer is an abomination.”

Proverbs 28:9

“And this is the confidence that we have toward Him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.  And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.”

1 John 5:14-15

The process will begin to cause you to serve ADONAI with your whole heart, soul, mind and strength; this is the holistic approach.  In doing this, ADONAI will save you like a son or daughter on Judgement Day.  Find a small group of people who are like-minded and begin meeting on a regular basis to study and discuss what each of you have been learning.

• Historically, ADONAI poured out His wrath when the Jewish people continued to disobey His Law Code.

“The Lord will send on you curses, confusion, and frustration in all that you undertake to do, until you are destroyed and perish quickly on account of the evil of your deeds, because you have forsaken me.”
Deuteronomy 28:20

“All these curses shall come upon you and pursue you and overtake you till you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes that he commanded you.”

Deuteronomy 28:45

“But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord your God or be careful to do all his commandments and his statutes that I command you today, then all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you.” 

Deuteronomy 28:15

“The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You shall go out one way against them and flee seven ways before them. And you shall be a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.” 

Deuteronomy 28:25

“The Lord will bring you and your king whom you set over you to a nation that neither you nor your fathers have known.”

Deuteronomy 28:36

“All these curses shall come upon you and pursue you and overtake you till you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes that he commanded you.  They shall be a sign and a wonder against you and your offspring forever.  Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joyfulness and gladness of heart, because of the abundance of all things, therefore you shall serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger and thirst, in nakedness, and lacking everything. And he will put a yoke of iron on your neck until he has destroyed you. The Lord will bring a nation against you from far away, from the end of the earth, swooping down like the eagle, a nation whose language you do not understand, a hard-faced nation who shall not respect the old or show mercy to the young.”

Deuteronomy 28:45-50

“If you are not careful to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name, the Lord your God, then the Lord will bring on you and your offspring extraordinary afflictions, afflictions severe and lasting, 

and sicknesses grievous and lasting.”

Deuteronomy 28:58-59

“Whereas you were as numerous as the stars of heaven, you shall be left few in number, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God.  And as the Lord took delight in doing you good and multiplying you, so the Lord will take delight in bringing ruin upon you and destroying you. And you shall be plucked off the land that you are entering to take possession of it.

And the Lord will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other.”

Deuteronomy 28:62-64

“Thus says the Lord God: This is Jerusalem. I have set her in the center of the nations, with countries all around her.  And she has rebelled against my rules by doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries all around her; for they have rejected my rules and have not walked in my statutes.  Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you are more turbulent than the nations that are all around you and have not walked in my statutes or obeyed my rules and have not even acted according to the rules of the nations that are all around you, therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I, even I, am against you. And I will execute judgments in  your midst in the sight of the nations.

Ezekiel 5:5-9

This will continue until the Judgement Day of humanity.  Your mind should perceive there are only two masters.  We are to choose every day to serve ADONAI.  Y’shua stated clearly:

“Be gone, Satan! For it is written, “You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.” 

Matthew 4:10

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one 

and despise the other.” 

Matthew 6:24

• ADONAI bestows upon you His understanding and wisdom as you continually study His Law Code.

“See, I have taught you statutes and rules, as the Lord my God commanded me, that you should do them in the land that you are entering to take possession of it.  Keep them and do them, for that will be your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who, when they hear all these statutes, will say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.” 

Deuteronomy 4:5-7

As you begin to understand more of the Law Code you will begin to have a desire to teach people about who ADONAI is and that by following His Law Code and acknowledging the testimony of Y’shua, a person receives the favor of ADONAI.  Kindness, patience, compassion, and mercy will help you in your journey as you speak the “Good News” to people you come across.

“Therefore, whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”

Matthew 5:19

• Most likely you will have thoughts and behaviors from your past.  Acknowledge these before ADONAI and ask for help in changing your thoughts, desires and goals.  As your thoughts change, your behavior will follow.  ADONAI’s intent is that you replace “self-rule” with His rules.  You will put yourself into training, much like an athlete, so that you will increase in understanding of His Law Code (doing what is right in His eyes, not yours).  Start with the Saturday Sabbath (day of no work).

• As you study, learn, and begin to obey ADONAI’s rules you will find that your entire mindset and lifestyle will change.  It is important to continue through the process because we are told that those that turn from His rules will be destroyed.

“But when a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and does injustice and does the same abominations that the wicked person does, shall he live? None of the righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered; for the treachery of which he is guilty and the sin he has committed, for them he shall die.”

Ezekiel 18:24.

• Your failure to follow and teach the Law Code will cause ADONAI’s wrath to be spilled out on you on Judgement Day.

• Clean and unclean which are mentioned in the Law Code are critical to understand.  One must pursue a spiritual state of “clean”.  This has important relevance in the ritual of baptism, the mikvah and the presence of the Spirit of Truth.  ADONAI’s Creation is so important to Him, He continually sent messengers to call back His people to the Law Code.  This included Y’shua and his cousin John.  If we turn away from His Law Code, ADONAI has clearly stated that person will be destroyed.

• ADONAI is the same 6000 years ago, 3300 years ago, 2000 years ago, today, tomorrow and in a thousand years.

“For I the Lord do not change.”

Malachi 3:6

Historically, if a prophet did not promote the Law, he was a false prophet.  If the wise man did not extol the Law, he was a fool. If a rabbi did not focus on the Law, he was considered a son of Hasatan.  If Y’shua did not preach the Law, he is not ADONAI’s Son.  If a teacher does not teach the Law, he is a false teacher.  If a disciple does not remind others of the Law, he is a liar.  If parents do not instill the Law in their children, they become an adversary of the Creator.  

If you are a child of ADONAI and a brother, sister, or mother of Y’shua, then you are to study and speak to others about the Law Code. ADONAI has your best interest at heart; He created YOU! Listen and obey your Creator!

“The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, 

that we may do all the words of this law”.

Deuteronomy 29:29

“And since you have forgotten the law of your God,
 I also will forget your children.”

Hosea 4:6

“Remember the law of my servant Moses, the statutes and rules that I commanded him 

at Horeb for all Israel.” 

Malachi 4:4

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” 

John 10:27

The Future:

• In the Garden of Eden, ADONAI established the “Two Master” Model.  There are ONLY two options from which humans can choose.  You either choose to serve ADONAI and obey His Law Code and the testimony of Y’shua or you operate in your natural state of “self-rule” (i.e. serving Hasatan).  Y’shua stated in every letter to the seven congregations, in the book of Revelation, that they were to overcome their “self-rule”.  This is EXACTLY what occurred in the Garden of Eden.  Those that serve Hashem will be invited back to live forever in the “New Earth”.

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

Revelation 21:1-4

Those that choose to operate in their “self-rule” will be destroyed. It is IMPOSSIBLE to understand who the Creator is, what He expects of us, how to serve Him and how to properly fear Him, unless we understand His Law Code. Today and every day, you must choose to make a conscious decision to serve Hashem…therefore today you must SHEMA! 

“For this commandment that I command you today is not too hard for you, neither is it far off.  It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend to heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’  Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’  But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it. “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil.  If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you today, by loving the Lord your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his rules, then you shall live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to take possession of it.  But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away to worship other gods and serve them, I declare to you today, that you shall surely perish. You shall not live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to enter and possess.  I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore, choose life, that you and your offspring may live, loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days.”
Deuteronomy 30:11-20

Prayers to ADONAI for a New Beginning:

Blessed are those whose way is blameless,
 who walk in the law of the Lord!
Blessed are those who keep his testimonies,
 who seek him with their whole heart,
who also do no wrong,
 but walk in his ways!
You have commanded your precepts
 to be kept diligently.
Oh that my ways may be steadfast
 in keeping your statutes!
Then I shall not be put to shame,
 having my eyes fixed on all your commandments.
I will praise you with an upright heart,
 when I learn your righteous rules.
I will keep your statutes;
 do not utterly forsake me!

Psalm 119

Our Father in heaven!
 May your Name be kept holy.
May your Kingdom come,
 your will be done on earth as in heaven.

Give us the food we need today.
Forgive us what we have done wrong,
 as we too have forgiven those who have wronged us.
And do not lead us into hard testing,
 but keep us safe from the Evil One.
For kingship, power and glory are yours forever.

Amen.

Matthew 6:9-13

Had humans listened and obeyed ADONAI, there would have been no death.

Had the Jews listened and obeyed ADONAI, there would have been no need for the judges.

Had the Jews listened and obeyed ADONAI, there would have been no need for a king.

Had the Jews listened and obeyed ADONAI, there would have been 

no need for the prophets.

Had the Jews listened and obeyed ADONAI, there would have been

no need for Y’shua to show up.

Had the Jews listened and obeyed ADONAI there would have been no Christianity.

Had the Jews listened and obeyed ADONAI, there would be no need for the Messiah.

Had humans only listened and obeyed ADONAI, we would have been living in Paradise.

Considerations:

· We are not self-created, that means someone else actually created us.

· Our minds have a very difficult time grasping absolutes.

· Our minds have a very difficult time actually measuring time.

· Everything boils down to existence, authority, human nature, cognition and choice.

· We view our lives through our cultural experiences and quickly adopt our meaning of life.

· We spend more time nurturing our “meaning of life” rather than contemplating the Purpose of Existence.

· One can only get to understand someone else by spending time with that person.

· We don’t want our meaning of life legislated.

· Humanity has ABSOLUTE ZERO credibility defining the Purpose of Existence.

· Our meaning of life slowly over time becomes our “truth”.

· We were not taught to study history through the Social Sciences, specifically, from the perspective of Law Codes.

· We will need to directly confront our ignorance and arrogance. 

· Our minds are not wired to comprehend existence or nonexistence.

· We will die at some point and we should begin examining all the stories that speak to what will occur after our death and begin to adopt the story with the greatest amount of historical, legal, cultural, cognitive and holistic credibility.
