From FULL RESTORATION OF ALL ISRAEL series

TORAH FOR ALL ISRAELITE NATIONS

By Rabbi/Brother Moshe Yoseph Koniuchowsky

PART 26 IN THE SERIES ON ISRAEL’S LATTER-DAY TWO- HOUSE RESTORATION

THE PROMISE TO END SLAVERY

In Bereshith 15:13 Yahweh prophesies to Avraham that his seed will be strangers in a strange land for 400 years. We learn that the nation enslaving them would be judged, while Abraham’s children would make an exodus with great wealth. Yahweh uses the 400 years as a general time frame even tough the actual time of slavery was 430 years. In Bereshith 46:4 Yahweh tells Israel/Yakkov to go down to Mitzrayim in order that Yahweh can bring to pass the patriarchal promise of physical multiplicity, while Yahweh promises to be with Yisrael in Mitzrayim. When Yahweh is with you, no one can be against you or His plan for your life. Yahweh also promises to return Israel to Canaan, when He brings them up again from Mitzrayim. This promise is confirmed to Yisrael in Bereshith 28:15.

INITIAL OFFER

Yisrael was to be set-apart by their prophesied exodus from Egypt, and in order to seal their set-apartness from all nations, they were to be given a Torah or a set of loving instructions. According to Devarim/Deut. 4:6, all nations would then see that “only a wise (spiritual), and understanding people was this GREAT (physical) nation. Israel was brought forth, and set-apart to shine before men. In like manner Yahshua renewed that call in Matityahu 5:13-14. Torah would become their wisdom after the presentation of Torah to Yisrael on Horeb. When Israel obeys Yahweh’s ways, all nations will confess our greatness, and our favor before man and Yahweh. On Sinai/Horeb Yahweh betrothed Himself to Yisrael. This betrothal is called an eruzin. It is a pledge unto consummation rather than a consummation act itself. In Tehillim 138:4 the Devar Yahweh calls on all the earth’s kings, and rulers to give thanks to Yahweh for His Torah being given to national Israel. The exodus was not merely to remove Israel from bondage but to allow all nations, and all kings of all nations to hear the Words of Yahweh known as Torah. Our sages have taught us that at first Yahweh revealed, and offered his chesed/grace to the sons of Esau/Edom, as it is written in Devarim 33:2. But they rejected Yahweh, even though He rose up first to offer Torah to Esau. However Esau rejected the Torah from Sinai, when Yahweh “rose in Seir” only to be denied. Then Yahweh offered the Torah to the rest of the sons of Ishmael symbolized by Mt. Paran, who according to Devarim 33:2-3, also rejected the “shining forth” of Torah from Sinai, even though the manifestation of fire accompanied it, along with myriads of melachim/angels!

“HEBREW-NATIONAL” ADAM

When Edom and Ishmael rejected the Torah, Yahweh then turned to His second son, the second Adam or national Adam. That, among a myriad of other reasons is why most of the modern Arabs hate Israel, (both houses) since they rejected the true Word of Yahweh, which Israel later accepted. Ultimately the Arabs adopted the false words of a man made deity called Allah. Not only do Edomites hate Israel for accepting the living oracles, they also hate Israel (Jews and most Christians) for having accepted the “living Torah”, the Messiah Yahshua Himself. Today’s Muslims have once again rejected the living Torah, (true biblical Yahshua as Yahweh’s ONLY brought forth SON!) as their Edomite and Ishmaelite forefathers rejected the living oracles shining forth from Sinai. Even today Muslims claim that Gabriel gave the latter revelation of the Koran, to Mohammed in large part to CORRECT THE ERRORS OF TORAH that the Jews and Christians added when they corrupted the Torah’s truth! Nothing much has changed in the last 3,500 years.

According to Hebraic understanding, there are actually three Adams. There is Adam the first husband of Chavah, the nation of Israel, and the promised Moshaich. Scripture calls Messiah Yahshua the second Adam. But the second physical Adam is actually the personification of the second corporate Adam known as the nation of Israel. This concept can be fully grasped from such scriptures as Hosea 11:1 and Shemot 4:22-23. These scriptures speak of Yahweh’s three sons as Adam, Israel, and Messiah Yahshua. The second son was to be a light to the nations, as they were called, and ordained to take the light, and liberating truth of Torah to all nations. For that evangelical purpose, all Israel was betrothed to Almighty Yahweh. Israel was delivered by chesed/grace from Mitzrayim to fulfill Yahweh’s purpose, as well as to fulfill covenant to the patriarchs. Sadly Israel did not fulfill their divine mission, due to rabbinical fences placed around the Torah to prevent others from enjoying its light, and grace. These manmade additions, and fences designed to keep non-Israelites out of Torah light, was distasteful and displeasing to our Heavenly Abba. Surely He would need to address this issue in the future.

THE SMOKING MOUNTAIN

Scripture teaches that quaking, smoking, light, and thunderings accompanied the giving of Torah according to Shemot/Exodus 20:18-19. All of the people of Israel gathered at Sinai saw the lighting, fire, and smoke, and heard the shofar. This is the only kind of smoking Yahweh approves of. When all Israel saw this smoking, they backed off, and stood at a distance from fear. In verse 18 the word thunderings is used rather than the singular thunder. The assembly at Sinai when the ecclesia was first born in 1500 BCE, was gathered to see this light and fire show, so they in turn could turn to the nations, and let Yahweh’s light shine forth. Among the many manifestations was the ongoing thunderings (plural)! According to the understanding of Jewish-Israel, the thunderings were given in the plural form, so that the living oracles of Torah would be given in many tongues or languages, and that all 70 known nations at the time of the exodus would and could receive the grace that Israel was receiving at Sinai. It was Yahweh’s purpose to deliver His Word in tongues, so that all known nations could and should walk in the light of Torah, as a lamp to their feet, and a light to their path (Tehillim 119:105). The thunderings represented Yahweh's affirmation that it was always His desire for all nations to hear His Word, not merely the immediate recipients at the base of Sinai. In fact at Sinai, Psalm 138:4 began to take place, as the Torah was given in the tongues of all the earth’s rulers, who in turn would also teach it to their peoples. It was for this reason that the nation heard thunderings not merely thunder!

A TORAH OF TONGUES OF FIRE

The idea and concept that Yahweh split His voice in 70 tongues, is a Hebraic concept based on both tradition and Torah. His split His voice in order to signify that Torah was for all nations of the earth, not just for the people today known as the Jews or Jewish-Israel. To signify this desire, He split His voice in a supernatural manifestation in 70 differing ways, so that all nations would have an inward desire to hear, walk, and receive the truths of Torah. In due course, they all would receive the exact same chesesd/grace that Israel His son was receiving in person on Sinai, through the nation of Israel. When Yahweh birthed the ecclesia at Sinai circa 1500 BCE, He supernaturally ordained the thunderings, so as to signify that the sound of Torah was to encompass the globe, and not be limited to that one particular place, time or nation. Israel’s task was to take that same Torah to the nations that had previously rejected Torah, when Yahweh came personally knocking on their door.

In many ways the nations did to Israel after Sinai what they did to Yahweh when He came knocking before Sinai according to Devarim 33:2-4. Yahweh knowing the future, chose Israel who He knew would accept Torah (Shemot/Exodus 5:1). He manifested the Torah to Israel in 70 separate or cloven tongues of fire, in order that Israel return to the nations, and deposit Torah into all nations, even the ones who had earlier rejected Yahweh’s springing, and shining forth! Israel would inherit this task which is a great calling, since this calling can be considered the initial Great Commission, with Messiah Yahshua's admonition in Matityahu 28:18-20 being the renewal of the Great Commission, given to the same renewed ecclesia that in times past had stood at the foot of Horeb. The inheritance of Torah is for Israel alone but the reception of Torah is for all nations. The rabbis of antiquity recognized Torah as being for all nations, which is why they established the Sanhedrin with 70 elders, with the high priest representing Israel before Yahweh, and the 70 elders representing the 70 known nations before the high court of Israel.

STANDING IN THE ANCIENT PATHS

In Yirmeyahu/Jeremiah 6:16 Yahweh instructs Israel to find rest in the ancient ways of Torah, as first poured out on Sinai. The sound of the shofar of Sinai was to resonate to all Israel for all times (Bamidbar/Numbers 10:10). The Shabbat and inner shalom for all believers, is found in an immediate return of standing fully clothed with the armor of Yahweh in the ancient paths. In Matityahu 11:28-29 Yahshua makes reference to Jeremiah 6:16 by stating that He came to the nations to bring them rest, since His yoke is easy, and His burden is light. Yahshua has come to take all nations by the hand, as they return to the paths of ancient Torah. According to this verse, when we come to Moshaich Yahshua we will find rest for our beings. Since we know Israel’s rest is only in eternal Torah, the living King Torah now reiterates that same call by asking all Israel scattered in the nations to come to Him. Since He is the Living Torah by coming to Him for His rest, we return to the rest provided for Israel because Yahshua is the Torah given to Israel that has now come in the flesh (Yochanan/John 1:14). By accepting the living Torah, we are revived by the same Torah that gives peace. Since we know that Moshiach Yahshua only does and teaches His Father’s doctrines, then the rest He offers His talmidim is the rest found when one returns and takes a full-fledged stand for the ancient paths.

THE HOUSE

In Acts 2:1 we find all Messiah’s talmidim in one place. Just like the day on Sinai when all Israel was in one accord, in one place, in one mind of anticipation. In Maaseh Shlechim/Acts 2:1 all the talmidim were where they were supposed to be at the appointed time, (moed/feast) that they were supposed to be meeting. The annual venue for the moed of Shavout was the House of Yahweh on the mountain of the house or Mt. Moriyah for the Feast of Weeks. THEY WERE NOT, NOR COULD THEY HAVE BEEN GUARDING THE FEAST OF WEEKS IN THE UPPER ROOM! WHY NOT? IF ISRAELITES WENT UP TO JERUSALEM, AND WORSHIPED YAHWEH IN A SET-APART GATHERING ON MT. OLIVET, RATHER THAN ON MT. MORIYAH, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN OPENLY DISOBEYING TORAH. TORAH IS CLEAR, IN THAT THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL ARE TO ASCEND MORIYAH TO MEET WITH YAHWEH IN PERSON, THREE TIMES EVERY YEAR, ACCORDING TO DEVARIM 16:10-11. YAHWEH CLEARLY CHOSE THE ONE AND ONLY PLACE FOR THE FEAST OF WEEKS, WHERE HE SAID HE WOULD PLACE HIS NAME. MAN COULD NOT CHOOSE THAT PLACE! YET THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE “SO-CALLED CHURCH” HAS DONE, IN CLAIMING, AND PROPAGATING THE MYTH OF THE “UPPER ROOM PENTECOSTAL EXPERIENCE!” PASSOVER, SHAVOUT, AND SUKKOT WERE ALL TO TAKE PLACE ONLY IN THE TEMPLE OR “THE HOUSE”. THE GREEK WORD HOUSE (OIKOS STRONGS #3624) CAN MEAN HOUSE OR TEMPLE, AND OBVIOUSLY IN REFERENCE TO SHAVOUT IT MUST MEAN TEMPLE.

Failure to obey this “in-house” ordinance, while in the land of Israel, while the Temple stood, would not and could not result in the talmidim receiving any divine gift or blessing, let alone the gift of the indwelling Ruach HaKodesh. According to Acts 5:32, He is given ONLY to those who obey Him. So we see that what Israelites were ordained to do yearly, they naturally also did in 33CE. As was their yearly custom, they went to the Temple Mount, and were there in one mind, and one accord seeking Abba Yahweh. In order to receive the Ruach HaKodesh, they had to be standing in the ancient place of Jeremiah 6:16. The question that begs to be asked is this. Where then does the “upper room” concept come from? The answer is plain but nevertheless sad. The source is s.a.tan, and the text taken out of context is found in Acts 1:13-14, where the disciples are staying in prayer in the upper room with Yahshua's mother.

ECCLESIA BORN AT SINAI

The manmade kirch system has cleverly superimposed the events of Acts 1:13-14 onto and into Acts chapter 2, in order to somehow justify the birth of a new separate entity apart from the historic people of First Covenant Israel. By following through on this nonsense, they develop their doctrine of the “church’s birth at Pentecost”, thus finding a fabricated doctrinal venue with which to replace Jewish-Israel, with the new and improved “kirch", the now infamous Roman based so-called “Spiritual Israel”. As opposed to this traditional church fairy tale, Stephen the first true witness/martyr of Renewed Covenant times, establishes us in truth when in Acts 7:38 he establishes the

BIRTH OF THE “CHURCH”/ECCLESIA/SYNAGOGUE/ISRAEL/ AT SINAI!!!

If IN FACT “the church” was born at Sinai when it initially received the Torah in supernatural tongues of fire, then one would expect all New Covenant [only] churches to have a Torah on display, commemorating the day they were formed from a rag tag band of slaves into a betrothed nation. So when you go to your favorite [hopefully FORMER] “NT ONLY” pastor, and your favorite [former] church, you would expect to find a nice kosher Torah to kiss! And, if you should walk into a church without a Torah or one that considers Torah to be a manifestation of Jewish legalism rather than a manifestation of the Spirit as seen in the tongues of fire, then naturally you should question both yourself, and the pastor. The obvious question would then come to mind. WHAT KIND OF A CHURCH IS THIS? IT DOESN’T EVEN HAVE A TORAH, SINCE BIBLICALLY SPEAKING BASED UPON YAHWEH’S OWN INSPIRED WORDS IN ACTS 7:38, THE CHURCH/ECCLESIA WAS BORN IN THE WILDERNESS, AT THE GIVING AND RECEPTION OF TORAH!

Therefore any “NT only” pastor, that considers Torah as Jewish legalism designed to keep believers "under the law", ironically has forbidden his church’s birth certificate ANY ENTRY into the assembly. So if you find a church without a Torah, it’s kind of like locating Niagara Falls without water! Is it not? Biblically speaking, a church cannot be a church without a Torah scroll in the sanctuary ark, and the Torah written on the hearts/arks of it members (Yirmeyahu/Jeremiah 31:33)!

Well now! Whose report will you believe? Now your choice is clear-cut! Do you accept Stephen’s report through scripture, given under inspiration of the Set-Apart Ruach or do you go with the classical misinterpretations, and the venomous scripture wrestling of the Roman church system, and her harlot unreformed and unrepentant prideful daughters?? The peace/shalom of your very nefesh/soul depends on it. What great peace and shalom there is for those who find their heritage among the people of historic Renewed Covenant Israel!

ONLY 1500 YEARS OFF

In Acts chapter 2 we have the virtual IDENTICAL reenactment of the initial giving of Torah, as it took place on Sinai circa 1500 BCE, with the identical signs and supernatural manifestations. All the elements of the first birth of our nation were also manifest at the initial rebirth of our nation, on the VERY SAME DAY, for the very same people, some 1,500 years apart! The worshippers in the Temple at Shavout/Pentecost in 33CE were not pagans, since pagans did not worship Yahweh alone, did not confess the Shema alone, and did not travel great distances at great personal expense, to be at the temple of Israel with the people of Israel. No pagans were present in Acts chapter 2. NONE! The reason this concept is so hard for some in the “so-called church” to accept [that only Israelites were present in 33CE] is due to the fact that they have been told that on that very Shavout in 33CE, OLD Israel “officially disappeared”, TO MAKE WAY FOR A NEW ISRAEL. They then needed to insert pagans into a fabricated “upper room Pentecostal fairy tale experience”, in order to justify the continuing existence of a pagan based system of Sun worship and Mithraism, supposedly approved of by Yahweh, with the supposed evidence of the giving of His Ruach. They either ignorantly or willingly refuse to tell the truth of that day’s exciting, and prophesied events, promised to Israel long ago.

Only Israelites would be dwelling, and worshipping with other Israelites at the focal point of the Israelite worship, and sacrificial system. That day those Israelites saw the same smoke, the same cloven tongues, the same wonders, the same fire, and heard the same shofar, that Israel had fifteen generations earlier. Both arrivals of Torah brought forth identical manifestations. The arrival of the living Torah to Israel, brought about a replica of the arrival of the living oracles given at the birth of the ecclesia on Sinai in the wilderness!

GREAT COMMISSION RENEWED

Matityahu 28:18-20 is the renewal of the Great Commission of Shemot/Exodus 20, as Yahshua our Savior/Yahweh commands Israel to teach His Father's kingdom as they love their Messiah, and GUARD THE THINGS HE TAUGHT US AS THE LIVING TORAH. With this re-commisioning of the initial Great Commission, Yahshua makes sure that the Good News that we preach is accompanied by the guarding and observing of all His Torah teachings. When we mikvah/immerse and teach, we are not to teach our manmade doctrines. But we are to teach only what Yahshua taught, even as He taught ONLY what His Father taught Israel. Those who falsely teach that tongues were initially manifest for the first time to the “‘so-called church’ in the “upper room”, are ignorant of the very plain truth that the fathers of Israel had received both the gift, and the manifestation of tongues, about 1500 years earlier on Sinai, when the ecclesia was formed. Most Christians feel like the gift of tongues is an evidence of being filled with the Ruach. But our forefathers knew that the receiving of tongues from Yahweh, was evidence of being filled with His Torah, and His Ruach (Yochanan/John 4:23-24)!

But don’t be too hard on the dispensationalist seminaries/cemeteries, since they are only off by about 1500 years regarding both the birth of the “so-called church”, as well as the manifestation of the cloven tongues of fire falling upon a people, all assembled in one place and in one accord.

The events of Acts chapter 2 is nothing more than the promised rebirth of the ETERNAL covenant people of Yahweh, with the sealing sign, and wonders being identical to that manifested in Shemot 20. Acts chapter 2 is Yahshua's supernatural work to re-plant Israel back on the ancient paths, in order that Israel may find rest. Yahshua did not come to build a new church or convert Jews to Christianity. He came to bring all who were willing to be Israel into Israel, and to renew and expand Shem’s dwellings initially promised through Noach/Noah (Bereshith 9:27).

AS THE RUACH GIVES UTTERANCE

Now according to Acts 2:4, the talmidim spoke according the utterance given by Yahweh the Ruach Himself. Only the Galileans spoke that which Yahweh wanted spoken on that day in different languages, so that all returning Israelites could understand the Good News of the kingdom in their own foreign tongue. Among these feast keeping biological Israelites were also Yah-fearers or full converts, and also those who were proselytes or had just joined Israel, and had just begun to mature in their process to re-join Israel. So whether these feast keepers were biological, fully assimilated mature Yah-fearers or merely proselytes who had just begun their Israelite journey, it is plain to see, that all were ALREADY considered a PHYSICAL part of Israel, at various stages of return and commitment.

In order for the Shavout utterances to be of Yahweh, the talmidim had to be speaking the very Words that Messiah spoke, and we have already established that Messiah spoke only the Words of the Father. So any utterance in tongues by the disciples had to be Torah based, and Torah centered, since the returning Israelites had previously accepted the Messiah, the actual living Torah. Yahshua said that He would send the Ruach to bring to all, the exact remembrance of His teachings, which are the identical ones given to Him by His Father Abba-Yahweh. So any utterances given in the Ruach, and truly originating from the Ruach, must declare both the King’s resurrection, and His Torah.

The King would not allow the Spirit to utter any tongue other than what was originally uttered by Abba from heaven at Sinai, and by Messiah in Judea while on earth. So all tongues emanating from the Ruach, must be King centered and Torah regulated! Tongues were given to renew Torah to Israelites in Yahweh’s House, who were tarrying in a spirit of anticipation, expectation, and hunger. That day on Shavout in 33CE, He did not disappoint His people. The Ruach came to bring scattered Yisrael BACK into the kingdom. The Ruach came to testify of the true coming kingdom of Yahweh, when both houses will fully return in repentance, and submission. It is the blood of Messiah, and the Ruach of Messiah that has brought all nations into redeeming grace, and Torah favor, and that enables all it’s citizens to inherit Yahweh’s eternal kingdom. On Shavout 33 CE the kingdom had begun to be restored. Obviously that task will be done fully by Messiah Himself when He returns, and not before (SEE PART 19 WHEN WILL WE BE ONE? at www.yourarmstoisrael.org).

Since Yisrael had been wandering all the nations for 721 years prior to Messiah, lost sheep from both houses were now speaking all the languages from all the nations where they were living in exile. In order for Yahweh to reach them with the Good News, He split his voice AGAIN as He did at Sinai, so that all seeking citizens of Israel’s Commonwealth could take hold of the message of the living oracles, as found in the person of Yahshua the Nazarene! So what was delivered in different languages (perhaps 120?) had to be a renewal through internalization of the exact same Words of Torah given externally on Horeb. Horeb means sword in Hebrew, and we know that the Word of Messiah (Torah) is the sharp two-edged sword able to bring both houses of returning Israel, partially assembled that day on Mt. Moriah, back to full repentance.

TORAH IN ARABIC?

In addition to bringing back to remembrance, and internalizing the ancient words of paleo/ancient Torah, the Ruach was promised to also bring back the Words of Yahshua Himself, the living Torah. Therefore for an utterance in tongues to be from Yahweh, it must speak according to the witness of resurrection life in Messiah, and the eternal Words of ancient Torah that He came to renew. According to Isaiah 8:20 if any utterance was to come that was not Torah based (the law), and failed to give witness of Moshiach’s physical resurrection (the testimony), it did not possess the light of Yahweh’s truth. However we know that the Rauch fell with the same identical, manifestations as when Torah shone forth on Sinai, and so lightning and fire were part of the wonders seen that day in 33CE, signifying that the utterances in tongues did in fact contain the testimony of resurrection, and the instructions (Torah) of the Set-Apart One of Israel. One of the tongues interestingly enough was Arabic (Acts 2:11). And so we see here that the Good News, and the Torah were given in Arabic BY YAHWEH, some 600 years BEFORE REVELATION WAS SUPPOSEDLY GIVEN TO MOHAMMED in something called the Koran. When Yahweh spoke both the Torah, and the testimony in Arabic, it was to bring Arabs into Israel’s glorious commonwealth, and eternally secured national destiny.

TONGUES OF FIRE

When tongues were manifested on Sinai, they were done so to declare Yahweh’s wondrous Words. So the Spirit in the House of Yahweh, in order to be of Yahweh, had to be saying the same things to the same people from the same source or we are faced with a Yahweh who has changed. Since we know He does not, and cannot change, then neither will He allow His voice to speak Torah in tongues on Sinai, and then allow the same Spirit to speak against Torah in tongues to a different nation, and a different bride in order to establish a new ecclesia apart from historic First Covenant Israel. Only a blinded dispensationalist zealot would argue for this kind of fallacious mind stream. These “cemetarians “teach that the Spirit that was used to adopt eternal Israel, and proclaim eternal Torah, was later sent in 33CE to reject eternal Israel, and nail eternal Torah to a Roman cross. Would that be consistency, and immutability, which are Yahweh’s great attributes, or would that be spiritual schizophrenia also known as dispensationalism/ and, replacement theology? Displenstionalism, and Replacement Theology are unclean sisters. For one cannot thrive nor survive without the other. For those who rightfully reject dispensationalism, there exists no new bride to replace the old bride, and thus the one bride continues to flourish unabated through Messiah's redemption, and internal regeneration! The same Ruach of grace that took Israel out from Mitzrayim/Egypt is now giving Torah afresh by that same Spirit of grace.

In Devarim/Deut. 4:36 we see that Yahweh LET Israel hear His voice. It was not any sort of birthright but rather a graceful manifestation. His voice of grace was accompanied by FIRE, for Yahweh showed forth or manifested His voice in tongues, in and through the FIRE. Israel was said to “hear His Words out of the midst of the fire”. The instructions of the Torah came through the fire, accompanied by the thunderings or tongues. Yahweh gave Israel His Torah in tongues accompanied with fire. Yahweh allowed these manifestations to occur while Israel heard His voice. Then 1,500 years later, He allowed that same nation keeping one of the three foot/ascension festivals, to hear the same voice, with the same great fire and tongues. They heard the Word in tongues but saw the fire. When Moshe had been called to redeem Israel, Yahweh also caused His voice to be heard in and through the fire. So the events of Acts chapter 2 are Yahweh’s allowance to reenact the very events, and the very methodology to the very same people, that had been graced to receive His voice, and His instructions on Mt. Sinai. Yahweh declared His wonders on Sinai! After Messiah's resurrection, He once again declared His wonders.

WONDERS DECLARED

Now let us set our minds to determine the true meaning of the word wonders found in Acts 2:11. According to Acts 2:11 all those who had joined themselves to Israel, and had thus become Israel, heard and saw Yahweh’s WONDERS or His GREAT DEEDS! Yahweh’s voice also declared WONDERS on Sinai. On Moriah at Shavout in 33CE Yahweh likewise again declared His wonders. Once we determine for sure that wonders is a synonym for Torah, we’ll see that the tongues of the Ruach are designed to deliver Torah instruction for righteous living, and honor its source/authority Yahshua/Yahweh! So we as Israelites are to ENCOURAGE TONGUE TALKING, IF THE UTTERANCE IS IN FACT FROM THE RUACH! And how can we know if it’s from the Ruach? It must declare Yahweh’s wonders. And by scriptural understanding wonders is another word for the living Torah, and the written Torah. The tongues of Shavout 33CE were not strange choppy kirch gibberish, found today on Sun-Day mornings. No! Not at all. It was the ecclesia receiving the Words of Sinai internally.

A simple search on the term “the wonders” of Yahweh will reveal one simple basic and underlying truth. That the term wonders always did, and always will be synonymous with the marvels of Torah. This is seen in Tehillim 119:7-8. The psalmist beseeches Yahweh that he may behold WONDERS OF, AND FROM TORAH. Psalm 119:129-130 states that the Torah is the Word of light, and of WONDER. Psalm 145:5 declares the mitzvoth of Yahweh, as the wondrous works of Yahweh. In Yeshayahu/Isaiah 28:26 Yahweh Elohim is said to be the One to give ,and ordain right rulings/chukim. Then in Isaiah 28:29 these very rulings or chukim are said to be A WONDERFUL COUNSELOR! Since we know Yahshua is the living Torah, and that it was said of Messiah that He was GIVEN TO ISRAEL (UNTO US WAS BORN AND GIVEN) AS THE WONDERFUL COUNSELOR (Isaiah 9:6). So if Yahshua, and written Torah are both considered Wonderful Counselor, how can the Set-Apart Spirit of that same Wonderful Counselor give forth any other words or instructions on Shavout 33CE, other than the ones of the WRITTEN AND LIVING WONDERFUL COUNSELOR?

Remember. Tongues were given as Ruach filled utterances to testify in all languages, even in Arabic, the WONDERS OF Torah. Most tongue chopping gibberish in churches today, do not speak the words, mind, or wisdom of the wonderful Words, of Torah counsel, and therefore are not truly from Yahweh, though oftentimes some may have a show of wisdom. Tongues given on Shabbat in a Shabbat meeting to Light-filled Torah honoring disciples glorifying Yahweh’s Son, and His Torah, can and should be allowed supernatural manifestations. For those gatherings are replicas of the 33CE Shavout experience, which was a replica of the Sinai experience. As Rav Shaul said, [since you are all Israelites] "I would that you would all speak in tongues”(1 Cor. 14:5), since in Rav Shaul’s mind, tongues, and Torah were sending a synonymous message. So those in the Sabbath churches that are not really Messianic Torah assemblies but merely Sunday churches meeting on Shabbat, who often get all riled up when hearing utterances in tongues should learn to relax in Yahweh’s truth. The source of the tongue, as well as the message of the tongue, indicates its validity or lack thereof. Its validity is not determined by one’s comprehension or lack of comprehension of the utterance itself.

BEWARE

Beware of those who claim that all tongue talking is automatically from the devil. There still remains a remnant group of Torah honoring tongue talkers, whose message both glorifies Messiah Yahshua, AND THE ETERNAL WONDERS OF TORAH. Biblically the declaring of Yahweh’s wonders is to declare His eternal Torah. The warning of “blasphemy against the Ruach” found in Matityahu 12:31-32, is CLEARLY defined by Messiah, as incorrectly, and adamantly attributing the manifestations, and workings of Yahweh to s.a.tan. Those who describe all tongue talking as demonic maybe guilty of this unpardonable sin! Be warned, be sober, and be most careful before bringing this charge, so that you do not stand condemned, and so you do not throw out the Israelite Torah baby along with the Roman bath water.

ON THE OTHER HAND

On the other hand, there were not 120 private mumbo jumbo sessions or “private utterances” that were completely unrelated. Rather the message was always related to the King's resurrection, and His eternal Torah instruction, in all languages, and dialects. The dialect varied but the underlying message remained the same. How different that is from today’s mumbo-jumbo unrelated private utterances in Sun Day assemblies, that mostly teach that grace has replaced Torah, as if somehow the unmerited exodus, the unmerited blood of the Paschal lamb, and the unmerited giving of Torah as the betrothal certificate to Messiah’s body, were not events of unmerited favor.

A MAJOR/MAJOR FEAST

Let both redeemed houses of Israel commence to see Shavout as the major feast that it truly is, (even being greater than Yom Teruah/incorrectly called Jewish Rosh HaShannah, and certainly equal to Yom Kippur) as it speaks of both the King, and His constitution becoming real to His people. It is the feast of dual celebration, as all Israel celebrates all things that pertain to her life and set-apartness. Both the Torah, and the King's Ruach were poured out on that same day, some 1,500 years apart, making Shavout one of the more important feasts, and one of only three ascension feasts. It remains the last of the spring feasts, having been fully fulfilled, and therefore is said to have “fully come” to all Israel.

Selah.
