Balancing The Scales-The Reason For The Torah

God’s pure nature requires perfect balance. Another way of saying balance is rest, justice, righteousness, a fulfilled purpose.

When we think or do things contrary to God’s perfect will, then we offset that perfect balance. To reset the scales of balance, we must submit an act of counter balance. That is what the Law is all about.

God was perfectly clear that if Man disobeyed, their life would be required. The Torah is perfectly clear that the life is in the blood. Before Man sinned, he was perfect. Afterwards, he was not. Therefore, a perfect man’s life Or blood could not be offered to counter balance the scales.

To start man’s path back to God, God gave them an object lesson to show them true Torah, True Balance. When man sinned, they attempted to cover their shame with natural things, God showed them that an innocent and perfect entity will need to be sacrificed for their shame to be covered. 

Therefore, he gave them skins of an animal to show that innocent blood was required, to cover. That is what the Law is all about...to constantly remind mankind of God‘s perfection and that it is naturally unattainable.

A Messianic Glimpse into the Future?

In Genesis 28:10-15, was Ya’qob (Jacob) given A Messianic Glimpse into the Future?

Most know the story or Ya’qob (Jacob), at Beth'El, which means the House of God. There, while asleep, Ya’qob (Jacob) dreams of a ladder, stretching from the Earth to the Heavens. Even though this incident truly happened, it is also prophetic. Ya’qob (Jacob) see the only access to God, that is the Gate to God, by which the Angels of God ascend and descend upon.

The following is a paraphrased section from the Word for Word Translation giving this account. 

At Beth’El, The House of Yah,
Ya’qob Dreamed,
Dreamed of a Ladder
Standing on the Earth,
the Top touching the Heavens.
He beheld the Angels of Elohim
Ascending and Descending….

"This is Truly the Gate to the Heavens!" 

Fast forward to the time of Y'shua, Y'shua references the same gate and ladder as himself, as the only way to God's House and Kingdom.

The following is a paraphrased section from the Word for Word Translation giving the account of Y'shua.

And Y’shua said to Nathanael,
“Amen! Amen!
I say you will see the Heavens open
and the Angels of Yah
Ascending and Descending
on the Son of Man.”

"I am the Gate." 

This is no coincidence, since Y'shua is the only way to the Father, our Father and the volume of the book is written or testifies of Y'shua (Jesus).

Y'shua (Jesus) is the Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father except through him.

Amazingly, once you start looking at the scriptures, with Y'shua(Jesus) in mind, it becomes amazingly crystal clear that the whole book does begin to paint a picture, a picture that was revealed to Ya’qob (Jacob), all those years ago. The picture of the Messiah and the Salvation of Humanity.

No other book makes the claims of the Bible and Nowhere Else, do we see such clarity and fulfillment.

Isn't it time to get into the Word for yourself?

Shalom.
