Rom 3:1 What then is the advantage of the Yehuḏite, or what is the value of the circumcision?

Rom 3:2 Much in every way! Because firstly indeed, that they were entrusted with the Words of Elohim/His Name is called: The Word of יהוה.

Rev 19:13 and having been dressed in a robe dipped in blood – and His Name is called: The Word of יהוה.

Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh and pitched His tent among us, and we saw His esteem, esteem as of an only brought-forth of a father, complete in favour and truth.

Joh 8:46 “Who of you proves Me wrong concerning sin? And if I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me?

Joh 8:47 “He who is of Elohim hears the Words of Elohim,

Jos 1:8 “Do not let this Book of the Torah depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you guard to do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and act wisely.

Rom 10:17 So then belief comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Elohim.

Rom 3:31 Do we then nullify the Torah through the belief? Let it not be! On the contrary, we establish the Torah.

Deu 16:16 “Three times a year all your males appear before יהוה your Elohim in the place which He chooses: at the Festival of Unleavened Bread, and at the Festival of Weeks, and at the Festival of Booths. And none should appear before יהוה empty-handed,

Luk 16:17 “And it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away than for one tittle of the Torah to fall.

Rom 10:13 For “everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.”

Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without one proclaiming?

Rom 10:15 And how shall they proclaim if they are not sent? As it has been written, “How pleasant are the feet of those who bring the Good News of peace, who bring the Good News of the good!”

Three Chags/Feasts of The TORAH

Exo 23:14 “Three times in the year you are to observe a festival to Me:

Exo 23:15 “Guard the Festival of Unleavened Bread. Seven days you eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month of Aḇiḇ – for in it you came out of Mitsrayim – and do not appear before Me empty-handed;

Exo 23:16 and the Festival of the Harvest, the first-fruits of your labours which you have sown in the field; and the Festival of the Ingathering at the outgoing of the year, when you have gathered in the fruit of your labours from the field.

Exo 23:17 “Three times in the year all your males are to appear before the Master יהוה.

2Pe 1:20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture came to be of one’s own interpretation,

2Pe 1:21 for prophecy never came by the desire of man, but men of Elohim spoke, being moved by the Set-apart Spirit.

Deu 16:1 “Guard the month of Aḇiḇ, and perform the Passover to יהוה your Elohim, for in the month of Aḇiḇ יהוה your Elohim brought you out of Mitsrayim by night.

Rom 3:24 being declared right, without paying, by His favour through the redemption which is in Messiah יהושע,

Rom 3:25 whom Elohim set forth as an atonement, through belief in His blood, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His tolerance Elohim had passed over the sins that had taken place before,

Rom 3:26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He is righteous and declares righteous the one who has belief in יהושע.

Feast of Unleavened Bread:

Deu 16:3 “Eat no leavened bread with it. For seven days you eat unleavened bread with it, bread of affliction, because you came out of the land of Mitsrayim in haste – so that you remember the day in which you came out of the land of Mitsrayim, all the days of your life.

Deu 16:4 “And no leaven should be seen with you in all your border for seven days, neither should any of the meat which you slaughter in the evening on the first day stay all night until morning.

1Co 5:7 Therefore cleanse out the old leaven, so that you are a new lump, as you are unleavened.

1Cor 5:8(b) not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Joh 1:29 On the next day Yoḥanan saw יהושע coming toward him, and said, “See, the Lamb of Elohim who takes away the sin of the world!

Heb 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the defiled, sets apart for the cleansing of the flesh,

Heb 9:14 how much more shall the blood of the Messiah, who through the everlasting Spirit offered Himself unblemished to Elohim, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living Elohim?

Heb 9:15 And because of this He is the Mediator of a renewed covenant, so that, death having taken place for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, those who are called might receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance.

The Torah says:

Deu 16:5 “You are not allowed to slaughter the Passover within any of your gates which יהוה your Elohim gives you,

Deu 16:6 but at the place where יהוה your Elohim chooses to make His Name dwell, there you slaughter the Passover in the evening, at the going down of the sun, at the appointed time you came out of Mitsrayim.

Deu 16:7 “And you shall roast and eat it in the place which יהוה your Elohim chooses, and in the morning you shall turn and go to your tents.

Deu 16:8 “Six days you eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there is a closing festival to יהוה your Elohim – you do no work.

Deu 16:12 “And you shall remember that you were a slave in Mitsrayim, and you shall guard and do these laws.

The Giving of The Torah:

Act 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from the heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

Act 2:3 And there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and settled on each one of them.

Act 2:4 And they were all filled with the Set-apart Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them to speak.

Act 2:5 Now in Yerushalayim there were dwelling Yehuḏim, dedicated men from every nation under the heaven.

Rav Shaul / Apostle Paul said:

Rom 7:14 For we know that the Torah is Spiritual,

The Feast of Sukkot / Feast of Booths / Feast of Tabernacles

In time of Messiah יהושע:

Luk 2:9 And look, a messenger of יהוה stood before them, and the esteem of יהוה shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.

Luk 2:10 And the messenger said to them, “Do not be afraid, for look, I bring you good news of great joy which shall be to all people.

Luk 2:11 “Because there was born to you today in the city of Dawiḏ a Saviour, who is Messiah, the Master.

Luk 2:12 “And this is the sign to you: You shall find a baby wrapped up, lying in a feeding trough.”

Luk 2:13 And suddenly there was with the messenger a crowd of the heavenly host praising Elohim and saying,

Luk 2:14 “Esteem to Elohim in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased!”

Luk 2:15 And it came to be, when the messengers had gone away from them into the heaven, that the shepherds said to each other, “Indeed, let us go to Bĕyth Leḥem and see this matter that has taken place, which the Master has made known to us.”

Luk 2:16 And they came in haste and found Miryam and Yosĕph, and the baby lying in a feeding trough.

Luk 2:17 And having seen, they made known the matter which was spoken to them concerning the child.

Luk 2:18 And all those who heard marvelled at what the shepherds said to them.

Luk 2:19 But Miryam kept all these matters, considering them in her heart.

Luk 2:20 And the shepherds returned, boasting and praising Elohim for all they had heard and seen, as it was spoken to them.

Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh and pitched His tent/Tabernacle/Booth/Sukkah among us, and we saw His esteem, esteem as of an only brought-forth of a father, complete in favour and truth.

2Pe 1:13 But I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent/body, to stir you up by a reminder,

2Pe 1:14 knowing that the putting off of my tent/body is soon, even as our Master יהושע Messiah made clear to me.

2Co 5:1 For we know that if the tent/body of our earthly house, is destroyed, we have a building from Elohim, a house not made with hands, everlasting in the heavens.

2Co 5:2 For indeed in this we groan, longing to put on our dwelling which is from heaven,

2Co 5:3 so that, having put it on, we shall not be found naked.

2Co 5:4 For indeed, we who are in this tent/body groan, being burdened, not because we wish to put it off, but to put on the other, so that what is to die might be swallowed up by life.

Joh 14:23 יהושע answered him, “If anyone loves Me, he shall guard My Word. And My Father shall love him, and We shall come to him and make Our stay with him.

The Book of Revelation:

Rev 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the heaven saying, “See, the Booth of Elohim is with men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and Elohim Himself shall be with them and be their Elohim.

Rev 21:22 And I saw no Dwelling Place in it, for יהוה Ěl Shaddai is its Dwelling Place, and the Lamb.

Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine in it, for the esteem of Elohim lightened it, and the Lamb is its lamp.

יהושע Messiah Master circumcised and Presented to יהוה in Yerushalayim according to The TORAH

Luk 2:21 And when eight days were completed for Him to be circumcised, His Name was called יהושע, the Name given by the messenger before He was conceived in the womb.

Luk 2:22 And when the days of her cleansing according to the Torah of Mosheh were completed, they brought Him to Yerushalayim to present Him to יהוה –

Luk 2:23 as it has been written in the Torah of יהוה, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called set-apart to יהוה” –

Luk 2:24 and to give an offering according to what is said in the Torah of יהוה, “A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”

יהושע Messiah Master explained concerning HIM only from all The Scriptures(written in the Torah of Mosheh and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning HIM.” ):

Luk 24:27 And beginning at Mosheh and all the Prophets, He was explaining to them in all the Scriptures the matters concerning Himself.

Luk 24:44 And He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all have to be filled that were written in the Torah of Mosheh and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.”

Luk 24:45 Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,

Luk 24:46 and said to them, “Thus it has been written, and so it was necessary for the Messiah to suffer and to rise again from the dead the third day,

Luk 24:47 and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His Name to all nations, beginning at Yerushalayim.

Luk 24:48 “And you are witnesses of these matters.

Shim’on Righteous and Hannah a Prophetess

Luk 2:25 And see, there was a man in Yerushalayim whose name was Shimʽon, and this man was righteous and dedicated, looking for the comforting of Yisra’ĕl. And the Set-apart Spirit was upon him.

Luk 2:26 And it had been revealed to him by the Set-apart Spirit that he would not see death before he sees the Messiah of יהוה.

Luk 2:27 And he came in the Spirit into the Set-apart Place. And as the parents brought in the Child יהושע, to do for Him according to the usual practice of the Torah,

Luk 2:28 then he took Him up in his arms and blessed Elohim and said,

Luk 2:29 “Now let Your servant go in peace, O Master, according to Your word,

Luk 2:30 for my eyes have seen Your deliverance,

Luk 2:31 which You have prepared before the face of all the peoples,

Luk 2:32 a light for the unveiling of the gentiles, and the esteem of Your people Yisra’ĕl.”

Luk 2:33 And Yosĕph and His mother were marvelling at what was said about Him.

Luk 2:34 And Shimʽon blessed them, and said to Miryam His mother, “See, this One is set for a fall and rising of many in Yisra’ĕl, and for a sign spoken against –

Luk 2:35 and a sword shall pierce through your own being also – so as to reveal the thoughts of many hearts.”

Luk 2:36 And there was Ḥannah, a prophetess, a daughter of Penu’ĕl, of the tribe of Ashĕr. She was advanced in years, and had lived with a husband seven years from her maidenhood,

Luk 2:37 and she was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not leave the Set-apart Place, but served Elohim with fastings and prayers night and day.

Luk 2:38 And she, coming in at that moment, gave thanks to יהוה, and spoke of Him to all who were waiting for redemption in Yerushalayim.

So imitate יהושע Messiah Master for Reason and Goal of our Belief — Master Messiah יהושע / The Word of יהוה:

1Pe 4:11 If anyone speaks, let it be as the Words of Elohim. If anyone serves, let it be as with the strength which Elohim provides, so that Elohim might be praised in it all through יהושע Messiah, to whom belong the esteem and the rule forever and ever. Amĕn.

Eph 4:25 Therefore, having put off the false, speak truth, each one with his neighbour, for we are members of one another.

Eph 4:29 Let no corrupt word come out of your mouth, but only such as is good for the use of building up, so as to impart what is pleasant to the hearers.

Eph 4:30 And do not grieve the Set-apart Spirit of Elohim, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

1Pe 3:15 But set apart יהוה Elohim in your hearts, and always be ready to give an answer to everyone asking you a reason concerning the expectation that is in you, with meekness and fear,

1Pe 1:9 obtaining the goal of your belief: a deliverance of lives.

1Pe 1:10 Concerning this deliverance the prophets have sought out and searched out, prophesying concerning the favour for you,

1Pe 1:11 searching to know what, or what sort of time, the Spirit which was in them was pointing out concerning Messiah, when it was bearing witness beforehand the sufferings of Messiah, and the esteems that would follow,

1Pe 1:12 to whom it was revealed that they were serving, not themselves, but you, in these matters which now have been announced to you through those who brought the Good News to you by the Set-apart Spirit sent from heaven – into which messengers long to look into.

Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the entire matter:

1Co 5:8 So then let us observe the festival,

Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh and pitched His tent/Tabernacle/Booth/Sukkah among us, and we saw His esteem, esteem as of an only brought-forth of a father, complete in favour and truth.

Rom 10:4 For Messiah(Word in Flesh/The Living Torah) is the goal of the Torah unto righteousness’to everyone who believes.
