Saw this scripture in a post from a friend here on FB and what she had to say was very good so I’m not trying to rain on her parade but every time I read this passage or the many others that speak to this mitzvoth I am taken somewhere else. Here is the scripture and my thoughts will fallow. Num 15:15 ‘One law is for you of the assembly and for the stranger who sojourns with you – a law forever throughout your generations. As you are, so is the stranger before יהוה. Num 15:16 ‘One Torah and one right-ruling is for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you.’ ”
There is now, always have been, and always will be only one law for both the natural born children of Israel. Remember that Israel when this commandment was first given had never even seen the promise land. They had not set one foot in Jerusalem. They had been 430years in captivity. Serving false Elohim’s in a country that was not their own.
Yeshua made the statement that he had only come to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Judah was not lost they where still living in the land when he was there under roman occupation yes. But none the less they where still in the land. The father chose this moment in time to send his Messiah to show the Jew that his Judgment is not to hard, but is to ensure that we his people would return to his torah. It is not his will that any should parish. And his judgment on us as a people has always been to bring us to his side.
Yeshua’s statement was to Israel though. Israel at this point was the stranger, and he came as the living torah to be our example of the love that the father has for us. Yes many Jews where also among the dispersed assembly of Israel. The reason Israel was dispersed and put once again in the hands of evil men in evil nations, was because they had chosen to fallow an un-righteous king Jeroboam who changed the feast days and locations. And because they wanted their own will over the will of the father. Their desires had become greater then their willingness to walk in his torah.
The door of the gentile is being closed if not already closed. The Judgment of YHVH on Israel has been fulfilled and his call is going out to this lost house who has been dispersed in every nation around the world. Yes they are hearing his call they are waking up and embracing his Torah in ways that as scripture foretold is provoking their brother Judah to jealousy. And they are taking the Jew by the tiztiot and asking them to teach them his torah also as prophecy has foretold.
Yet we have those among us that are still teaching a doctrine of separatism. Making comments like the gentile does not have to fallow the Torah. Propagating a life of lawlessness among those that are hearing the call of Avinu. There is ONE LAW FOR ALL. How can you say you fallow and teach torah if you don’t even understand this basic principal of scripture. YESHUA (THE TORAH/LAW) made flesh did not do away with himself. He solidified himself and sits at the right hand of Avinu to this day.
Through Moses came the Law but through Yeshua came TRUTH and Grace Jn 1:14. The scripture defines exactly what truth is. Truth is not subjective it is concrete and unwavering. King David said that the fathers TORAH IS TRUTH. The Grace that he brought was not so you could transgress his Torah and force him to accept you in your sin. The Grace he brought was so that we who were once Law breakers (sinners) could be renewed to a place of right standing with Elohim. Not so we could continue in our transgressions.
There is ONE LAW FOR ALL, and no Man comes to Avinu except through HIM. Yeshua IS THE LAW MADE FLESH. Wake up Acclicia (assembly) of Israel the father is calling you home to walk in his truth and shun the pagan practices that you Like Israel of old have been brought up in. Return to his Sabbaths, embrace his Torah and celebrate his appointed times with your Family Israel United once again, at least in part. We Are one people embracing the faith of our patriarchs. A Faith that Says we serve the one true Elohim and we will not fallow after false gods and pagan practices any longer. Yes we have been in the desert but we have see the promise land that is walking in the father Torah embracing ONE LAW FOR ALL.
Shalom
