YHVH's Torah is the Word of YHVH
By Eddie Chumney
 

The Pages of the Torah Scroll are Called Leaves
In Revelation 22:2, we are told that the LEAVES of the tree of life (Torah) are for the healing of the nations. The pages of the Torah scroll are called leaves. An example of pages of a scroll being called leaves can be found in Jeremiah (Yermiyahu) 36:21, 23 it is written:
 

 

"So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll … and it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves…"

Therefore, from these scripture verses we can understand the following:

  1. The tree of life that was planted in the Garden of Eden (Gan Eden) was the Torah.
  2. G-d’s Torah is worth far above pure gold.
  3. G-d’s Torah is for the healing of the nations.
  4. Those who keep the Torah of the G-d of Israel have right to the tree of life.

Abraham: The Father of our Faith
In Romans 4:16, Abraham (Avraham) is called the father of our faith (emunah). Why did the G-d of Israel choose Abraham (Avraham) and why is Abraham (Avraham) called the father of our faith (emunah)? The G-d of Israel chose Abraham (Avraham) because G-d knew that Abraham (Avraham) would teach his children the Torah of the G-d of Israel. In Genesis (Bereishit) 18:18-19 it is written:

"Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord [the Torah], to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him."

Abraham (Avraham) kept the Torah of the G-d of Israel. In Genesis (Bereishit) 26:5 it is written:

"Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws [TORAH]."

What is the Purpose of Torah?
Listed below are seven purposes of the Torah of the G-d of Israel. They are as follows:

  1. Teaches and reveals the Divine nature of G-d.
    a. G-d is Holy (Leviticus 19:2).
    b. G-d is Love (I John 4:7-8).
    c. G-d is Gracious, Righteous, Merciful (Psalm 116:5).
    d. G-d is Light (I John 1:5).
  2. Teaches and reveals sin (Romans 3:20, Galatians 3:10, James 2:10, I John 3:4).
  3. Teaches and reveals man’s need to have a Messiah (Mashiach) (Romans 10:4). "End" in Greek means "Goal/Target."
  4. Teaches and reveals the G-d of Israel’s redemptive plan through the Messiah (Mashiach) (Psalm 40:6-7, Hebrews 10:5-7, Luke 24:36, 44).
  5. Teaches and reveals that man is saved/redeemed/delivered by the grace/mercy (chesed) of the G-d of Israel by faith (emunah) and not by the deeds of the law (Romans 3:20, 24, 28, Galatians 2:16, Ephesians 2:8-9).
  6. Teaches and reveals the difference between the life of the Spirit (the Torah written upon a heart of flesh) and the life of the flesh/evil inclination (the Torah written upon a heart of stone) (Romans 8:1-3, 5-9).
  7. Teaches us how to grow from spiritual babies to spiritual maturity (Genesis 17:1, Psalm 19:7-8, Psalm 119:1-2, Ephesians 4:11-15, Hebrews 5:12-14).
