The Law Fulfilled: A Study of Matthew

@@TheBiblicalRoots what is your salvation theology?

[@KevinProkopich-h5w]

Jesus is the way of salvation! Jesus took our sin upon Himself (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus died in our place (Romans 5:8), taking the punishment that we deserve. Three days later, Jesus rose from the dead, proving His victory over sin and death (Romans 6:4-5). Why did He do it? Jesus answered that question Himself: “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). Jesus died so that we could live. If we place our faith in Jesus, trusting His death as the payment for our sins, all of our sins are forgiven and washed away. We will then have our spiritual hunger satisfied. The lights will be turned on. We will have access to a fulfilling life. We will know our true best friend and good shepherd. We will know that we will have life after we die-a resurrected life in heaven for eternity with Jesus!

[@TheBiblicalRoots]

@@noahcole6856 Thanks for asking, Noah! I believe that by the grace of God, we are saved through faith in Jesus and nothing else. Salvation is not something we earn by any good works we do, but rather a gift from God. I further believe we are saved in order to engage in good works to the honor and glory of Christ. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do" (Eph. 2:8-10). Blessings, Rob

"For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law" (Hebrews 7:12). Truly, this single verse (read within its context) is all that's needed to demolish the HRM/Torah observant interpretation of Matthew 5:17-20. Now that the New Covenant has been inaugurated by the death of Christ, there's no more temple worship, animal sacrifices, circumcision, etc. The Law most definitely has been changed from its application under the Old Covenant for those who are now under the New Covenant.

I'm actually surprised that people are ignoring Luke 24:25-48 but put emphasis on Matthew 5:17. Luke 24 explains clearly what Jesus meant at Matthew 5:17. God says at Hosea 4:6 that "my people will be destroyed for lack of knowledge." Jesus did not come to abolish the law or give new laws, he came for a specific purpose mentioned in Isaiah 11, Matthew 1:20-21, Luke 1:67-75 as sent by God the Father. Jesus did not give new commandments but he only summarised the ten commandments into the two (Matt 22:36-40, Mark 12:29-31) and he said if you love me follow my commandments (John 14:15-24). God the Father is the author of the law and not Paul (Deut 5:1-22, 10:1-5) and he does not change (Mal 3:6-7, Num 23:19-20) and he is clear on what he requires from his people (Deut 10:12-22, Eccl 12:13-14) Just like in the days of the wilderness it is the same with us in these last days God wants to humble us and wants to know what is in our hearts, whether we know his commandments and whether we will keep them to do or not versus what's in Paul's letters (Deut 8:1-6, John 17:3-23, Deut 5:22)

@marihadta7856 2 months ago Those who insist that it is only by keeping the law I dont think realize that what they are saying is: they wish to be judged by their keeping of the law. *However, those who insist on continuing in anarchy against God’s law will receive the curse that devours the earth in Isaiah 24:5-6. I think you are in a lot more trouble than you have been lead to believe here. God calls those who will not hear his law llying children in Isaiah 30, and he warns those who will not hear his law that they have a heart like an adamant stone in Zechariah 7. So, refusing to hear God’s law to become a Christian anarchist is not going to get rid of your condition of a stony heart. Hearing his law and refraining from further anarchy, on the other hand, is what will help to get rid of your stony heart which is why Christians need to understand this condition God speaks of and how God wants to remove their stony heart in Ezekiel 11 and 36 and give them a New heart through the method he explains in Ezekiel 18. God says that anyone speaking not according to his law and testimony has no light in them in Isaiah 8:20, just four verses after revealing that what he is aiming to do is bind up the testimony and seal the law among his disciples in Isaiah 8:16. Christ is the light of the world, so his doctrine cannot speak against the law and testimony. And Christ is not trying to keep God’s seal from his people. But, a lot of lying pastors certainly are, and that is why God speaks of woe to the pastors in Jeremiah 23, and why he will replace them just prior to Christ’s second coming in that prophecy with shepherds that will properly care for his flock.* Whereby No One was or is able to fully keep the Law in perfectness. *But, that isn’t an excuse to not try to keep it, because the alternative is to turn our world into a really dangerous and bloody Darwinistic game of might makes right form of survival of the fittest. God is trying to prevent that outcome, not push Christians into that antilaw, opportunistic mindset.* You break one law, you have broken them all. *But, this is why Christ came preaching repentance. Breaking the law is only part of the story, but God’s mercy in Exodus 20:6 and Matthew 9:13 comes by the avenue of repentance which leads you back into obedience to God’s law, not away from obedience to God’s law. But, Christians are trying to rape both the law and the gospel of the pillar of repentance, because they think that by rejecting the law they will avoid the darkness God says they will be driven to in Isaiah 8:20-22, but they are just lying to themselves and setting themselves up for failure.* Thank you, Father, thank you, Yeshua, thank you, Holy Spirit. *Notice, the Father, Christ and the Holy Spirit are not the ones telling anyone to reject God’s law. The primary culprit here is Paul who urges people in Romans 6:14 to come out from under God’s law. But, that is an agenda strangely in line with Lucifer’s war against the true saints who keep the commandments of God and who have the testimony of Yeshua in Revelation 12:17. So, is it then any wonder that Paul admits in 2Cor 12:7 to have a “messenger of Satan” in his own words?

[@jussayinnit]

@28:00 As with all the scriptures, there are layers and depths of meaning. I agree with you in what you're saying here. Jesus' life did indeed fulfill the law and the prophets. I would add that Jesus' death and resurrection fulfilled a specific legal requirement, which allowed the new testament to be enacted and offered to Israel. The law regarding divorce, widowing, and remarriage was fulfilled through Jesus Christ. This fulfillment confirms the fact that Jesus was absolutely the perfect vessel hosting the full spirit of God. This had to be in order for the law to be fulfilled. To allow Israel's fornication to be erased and for Israel to be fully redeemed in a new marriage covenant with a new man.

[@moshemyym4627]

If you examine that "righteousness" it is talking about justification. Being JUSTIFIED through the atoning blood of the Messiah by faith, Romans3:21-25, vs 25 nails it. There is an exchange from the works of the law (the sacrificial system which blood could never take away sins Hebrews10:4) and the work of the Messiah, His blood does the work, Romans3:25, Hebrews10. Hebrews10 really explicitly tells you specifically explains the changing of the guard.

[@broseph535]

With all due respect for you, Professor RL Solberg, I sincerely appreciate and respect what you teach about the Bible, but I do partially disagree with your interpretation of Matthew 5:17-20. I don’t agree with it, in part, because you seem to believe that the verse “until all is accomplished” must only be allegorical to what was accomplished on the Cross. However, I also believe this particular passage has a deeper meaning to it as well; in one sense I believe “until all is accomplished” does mean the true conclusion of the sacrificial laws of the Temple system or “The law of sin and death” Paul speaks about in Romans 8:2 through Our Lord Christ’s ultimate sacrifice on the Cross. Furthermore, because we know that the current Heaven or Earth haven’t, in a literal sense, passed away and that sin still exists in this world, I therefore believe we as Christians still need to be obedient (obedience is complimentary of faith) to the Lord’s Moral Law (The Ten Commandments: this idea is, in essence, affirmed by Jesus in Matthew 22:36-40). I don’t actually know for sure if you believe that The Ten Commandments were only mean’t for the nation of Israel and therefore aren’t binding on Christians, but I believe that they are also mean’t for all people who want to truly join themselves to the Household of God (1 Timothy 3:15) by abiding in His Word. I very much look forward to a constructive conversation with you about this sir, and I hope that everyone here receives the peace of Our Lord…Amen! ✝️🙏🕊️

[@TheBiblicalRoots]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for your support, broseph! I believe the 10 Commandments all apply to Christians in a New Covenant context. If you think about it, 9 of the 10 Commandments are repeated and taught in the New Testament. The Sabbath command is not, but that doesn’t mean it’s obsolete. We’re not required to keep the seventh-day Sabbath as it was given to the ancient Israelites in the Law of Moses. (For example, neither animal sacrifices nor the death penalty are required.) I believe that, because of the death and resurrection of Christ, the focus of the Sabbath command has shifted to maintaining a daily heart posture of dependence on God and finding rest in Christ’s finished work (Rom. 14:5-6; Col. 2:16-17; Heb 4:1-11.) And more than that, I believe the principle behind the Sabbath command is still to be kept as a wise spiritual discipline: setting aside a regular time of rest to remember, thank, and worship God and be with family. Blessings, Rob

A show of faith is the ultimate conceit. Ethics from faith gives us the worst navigators, like Moses, believing travel is best done with one foot in fantasyland. Is the faith vocabulary a dog-whistle for Christofascists? Does anything prove faith worthy of respect more than finding prophets & cherubim in the Yellow Pages? Faith gives us preaching to the choir & wolves dressed as sheep, violence justified using the vocabulary of fantasyland. Faith ignores "it is a wicked generation seeking signs", such as resurrections. The great evil of faith is being a tool of authoritarians, a mask for insanity & indoctrinating children with a fantasyland. It is delusional to promote democracy when the country is owned by Citizens United & billionaires. The attraction for low esteem, is the power of delusions of greatness, having some relationship with a deity. Low esteem is masked with ultimate audacity, at knowing this or that of God. Faith gives us preaching to the choir & wolves dressed as sheep, violence justified using the vocabulary of fantasyland. Faith ignores "it is a wicked generation seeking signs", such as resurrections. Does anything prove faith worthy of respect more than finding prophets & cherubim in the Yellow Pages?

[@marcelom.s.6065]

@ wow you are really good with words. I would say you misunderstood what faith means from Jesus’s standpoint and thats understandable because of how many times people have said faith. Faith in the same way the scientists like Einstein look at the evidence and interpret the universe to have had a start and conclude - “the evidence points to this conclusion, so I trust this conclusion until proven otherwise.” The evidence, recognized by world religions, atheist historians and philosophers, and by martyrs and living testimonies of his resurrection, Jesus is of much importance and is special. Jesus DID die on a cross, and may have just risen from the dead. Those who have taken Jesus’s teaching to love their enemies, respect all people, and live a moral life have changed the fabric of culture from the abolition of slavery to the civil rights movement while those who misinterpret his teachings are their opponents. So I say, looking at the evidence, “the evidence points to this man Jesus really being who he said he is and rising from the grave and being of utmost importance and benefit to our lives, thus I put my faith, my trust in his words.” What do you think?

The gospel of John explains much of what Jesus said. Jesus came to 'fulfill' the law (of sacrifices) by becoming 'the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world', by destroying death and being fallen mankind's 'salvation' (Lu.2:30). Jesus confronted the Pharisees, etc and told them, '...none of you keepeth the law' (Jn.7:19). And yet, some knew that this Man 'indeed is the very Christ' (Jn.7:26). And, Paul wrote that, 'all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ' even 'reconciling the world unto himself' (2Cor.5:18-19)...Jews and Gentiles, as he also preaches to unbelievers at Athens (Acts 17:24-31). God grants repentance to all men 'every where' and also 'hath offered faith to all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead' (lit. in the Gr. Acts 17:31, see Tyndale's NT). God offers mercy and salvation to 'all men', even 'the whole world' (1Jn.2:2). Romans 3:25 is revealing the heart of the Gospel, which was designed by God for 'the meek' (Is.61:1), and Isaiah 53 is the prophecy that Jesus fulfilled (as well as Gen.3:15). There is more, yet you definitely said it well, in this video (the third one I've seen so far!). Spot on, dear brother!

[@bruthaphil-i2m]

Great breakdown of those passages! Verse 19 was Yeshua's "preamble" for the beginning of the teaching of the commandments he referred to when he said, "Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of "THESE" commandments," then from verse 21, he proceeded until the end of chapter 7 to elucidate the commandments he was referring to. There's a difference from someone not eating things for health concerns and commemorating times of the year for exhibitibg their love of Christ, but when those things are done out of the belief that doing those things make you righteous or the belief that YHWH will send you to eternal damnation for not worshipping on the Gregorian Saturday, gives a distorted view of Christ's love for us! The promises were given to Abraham, a Hebrew, but not an Israelite, who came from a family of paganism, neither Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, nor the Israelites in Egypt prior to the coming of Moses were given the Levitical Law Galatians 3:19-25! ❤️

I like to follow you because I try to work out my salvation in fear & trembling as I will stand before my Abba Father one day & give account. I don’t want to be mislead & desperately want to know the Truth of my God. Question: You say Jesus is a better Israel, so why do mainstream ministers say we as believers are “spiritual Israel?” Like it’s an afterthought or lesser than. Why not tell the believers “They are Israel” and that Israel is a people according to Yeshua and not just a land. Isn’t True Israel, the people that have received the promise? Appreciate your thoughts.

[@WorshipMyAbbaFather]

It’s me again Prof Solberg, Judith😊 Im 27min in this video. My bible, the complete Jewish study bible footnote on 5:17 says: While Yeshua kept the Torah perfectly and fulfilled predictions of the prophets, that is not the point here. Yeshua did not come to abolish but “to make full”(plerosai) the meaning of what the Torah says and the ethical demands that God through the prophets requires. Yeshua came to complete our understanding of the Torah and the prophets. Despite the assertion of many, Yeshua and the Good News has not annulled the Torah. So, my understanding is that the Torah is like the foundation of a house & when Yeshua came, He completed the house so we could live in it. So to me, saying to do away with the Torah is like saying we don’t need the floor or foundation any more. Yeshua completes the house & provides a way to enjoy the house with all the amenities of warmth & ac, etc. But we still need the floor😄 Okay, this is just my elementary analogy but I’m just trying to make the Bible make sense to me😊 Thanks for letting me share, and just want you to know…I consider you my brother in Yeshua😊

[@Prove_ALL_Things]

​@@WorshipMyAbbaFather If I may..... Honestly I think you are on the right track. And I think the explanation in your Bible is exactly the opposite idea that Mr. Solberg is trying to convey, and to get everyone to believe. What Solberg focuses on is those in the Hebrew Roots movement who do not follow Torah with an honest heart. I even asked him one time to lead me to some examples of a Hebrew Roots person who was saying Law First and Christ 2nd. The 1 example he gave me did not put Law 1st, but Christ and God. I am now subscribed to this person's channel. Me and many other Hebrew Roots folks think the true faith and "The Way" of God and Christ was hijacked by the Roman Catholic Church, whom I believe to be the tares in the parable of the Wheat and the Tares. This is a very short version of what I understand is The Way. Christ came to be the example of how to walk out the law(as your Bible explains), fulfilled prophecy by being the perfect lamb, dying on the cross, so that he could be resurrected and glorified as our High Priest of the order of Mekelsidek, Christ is now actively ministering on our behalf from Heaven, and that the Law (the Torah) was not done away with, the New part of the New covenant was that Christ replaced the Levitical priest system to atone for sins when we all screw up, when we believe in Christ and have faith we willingly submit to his obedience out of love and trust in him, Christ gives us loads of grace that is a free gift when we mess up, but with the expectation that we will strive to do better, and we don't abuse that grace by going against his word. Someone pointed out that there is a difference between covenant and law. A covenant is an agreement to keep the law. God said do "y" and he will do "x", and when you mess up then "z" will be there to atone for the sins. The new covenant replaces "z" with "a". "z" is the priest system that was flawed, replaced with "a" which is Christ. We still have a priest system, it just changed venues and who is doing it. I hope I have made sense. Just trying to convey what I have gleaned from all my research. Of course you must find your own path. I admire that you are truly trying to study.... I have been too. Yah Bless your search for his truth and ways!

[@WorshipMyAbbaFather]

@@Prove_ALL_Things Thanks so much for your comments & input. I’m reading thru Pauls writings & currently on Romans. Interestingly in Romans 12:8-21 commentary, my bible footnotes say: “It is easy to find Jewish parallels to Sha’ul’s(Paul) ethical teachings. Compare the end of v.8 with this passage from the Mishnah(oral Torah): “The world is upheld by three things-Torah, Temple worship and acts of mercy” I was quite surprised that Paul actually pulled info from the mishnah which I know we don’t follow at all because it’s what Jewish faith believes; that God gave Moses instructions orally to pass on to the Rabbi’s. But Paul was a very learned man and highly educated in the Jewish faith & traditions. It’s makes me think…why would he teach against including the Torah in our walk when he’s even making a reference to the Mishnah. I’m also learning that the first requirement of Torah is Faith(not works) found in Romans 9:30-10:21. But when we look at Abraham(before Torah was given) He had faith in God & obeyed by leaving his home country & going where God told him to go. And David had a “relationship” with God. Sorry to go on & on, it’s just exciting to see how this is making sense. It’s always been about relationship first!!🙌 Hallelujah!! From Genesis through Revelation🙌 God bless you & everyone reading this😊

[@Prove_ALL_Things]

@@WorshipMyAbbaFather YES!!! Relationship!! AMEN!! A relationship that is a two way street. And yes after all the study I have been doing I have the same conclusions, that from Gen to Rev the ideas are consistent. Love and trust God, and because we do, we then honor that by doing what he wants us to do. We do Torah NOT to get saved, but because we ARE saved. Doing Torah is the response to us trusting and loving on our Father and his son. We believe in Christ because he is the way we get atonement for our sins, and our mediator to the father and who we believe will resurrect us to eternal life. He is the way, the life and the truth. The "Way" because he showed the the way to keep God's Commandments, the "Life" because he gives us eternal life, and the Truth, because we can trust the words that he says and that he asks us to do them to benefit us to Blessings and Salvation. Let me say this about Paul. I got some tips not to long ago about Paul that helped me to see that he does not do away with the Law as many believe or try to twist out of what he says. One just has to understand Paul. Yes he was a Pharisee and highly educated in that false religious system. You can tell he understands the the Pharisaical (I am not sure I spelled that right) ways were wrong and he needed to get back to the true "Way". Ok so here are a couple of tips that really helped me with some of Paul. Just in case you have not come across these tips. 1. Always remember Paul knew the Old Testament (OT) VERY well, so he writes as if people also know the OT very well. Of course he also knew the Pharisee writings as well, which may have been why he could have quoted them. I would wager that the Mishnah is not all wrong and does follow scripture as some points at least. 2. This helps for Paul's other writings, but this specifically from Romans. Check out Romans 7:25 (KJV): Paul states, "I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin." Notice he state 2 Laws. The Law of GOD (Torah) and the Law of SIN. You could also say the Law of SIN and Death, because we all know sin leads to death. So TWO laws. The law of God is the same as walking in the Spirit, the Spirit of God, or the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of Christ, also stated as in the mind. The Law of Sin, or sin and death, is the law of the flesh. So now we have two laws that Paul compares and contrasts, not only after Romans 7:25, but also some verses before hand, and it seems also in his other writings, but he just does not put the Verse 25 qualifier in all the other letters. Here is an example: I will do the 1st 6 verses of Chapter 8. 1. THERE is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus (Law of God), who walk not after the flesh (Law of Sin), but after the Spirit (Law of God). 2 For the law of the Spirit of life (Law of God) in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death (as stated Law of Sin). 3 For what the law could not do (I think this is the Law with out the Holy Spirit, just my opinion), in that it was weak through the flesh (Law of Sin), God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh (with the Law of God, and with the Holy Spirit): 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us (Law of God), who walk not after the flesh (Law of Sin), but after the Spirit (Law of God). 5 For they that are after the flesh (Law of Sin) do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit (Law of God) the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death (Law of Sin and Death); but to be spiritually minded is life and peace (Law of God). If you have already had this idea I am sorry to do a repeat. I found this to be sooooo helpful in understand Paul a lot more. I hope it helps you as well. One thought I have had about a verse in the New Testament about Abraham. Many like to say that Abrahams faith made him righteous before God, and that is true. But they say it like that was all Abraham needed and then they equate that to that all we need is Christ righteous, and then we are done just like Abraham. BUT, the verse actually states that his Faith was "accounted" to him. Kind of like of like a righteousness payment plan. Abraham had faith which started the payment plan process with a deposit of righteousness, but then Abraham was also expected to be obedient to the Law to meet the full terms of the payment plan. Sorry that was the only analogy I could come up with. Just my thoughts. Anyway keep learning and praying!!! If you have any good tips, feel free to share. Many, Many Blessings to you!!! Yah is great!!

Great point on how pleroo is used in Matthew. A comment on righteousness. The verses You used when talking about righteousness said it was God's Righteousness that we received through Christ. It seems scripture is saying that The Father prepared a lamb sacrifice that took 4 thousand years to come about and nurtured Him and became His most beloved lamb from the flock and was brought to the heavenly temple and made us acceptable in God's sight but it was God's Righteousness that it brought about. You definitely jumped in the fire (of debate) with this video. Thanks

[@JohnnyCash-o6i]

If fulfilled (pleroo) always means completed, why didn't he explain Mat 3:15: "for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness"? Or how the gospel of Christ (Rom 5:19), joy (Phil 2:2), and the word of God (Col 1:25) are also completed? Because all those things were also pleroo. Apparently, fulfilled can have othe meanings. And in context of Mat 5:17, whatever it means, in context, it must be the OPPOSITE of abolish. One of the concordance definitions is "consummate." Now that makes sense to me!

Amos 3:7 [7]Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. Not aware of any prophecy declaring that there would be any change to the law. However there is a prophecy in Jeremiah chapter 31stating that his law ( the same law that Israel transgressed) would be in our hearts. King David shared what that would look like; Psalms 40:8 [8]I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

[@SpotterVideo]

Paul also uses the word "till" in Galatians 3:16-29. Paul said the law was "added" 430 years "after" the promise made to Abraham "till" the seed (Christ) could come to whom the promise was made. In Galatians 4:24-31 Paul spoke of the "two covenants" and instructed the Galatian believers to "cast out" the Sinai Covenant of "bondage". New Covenant Whole Gospel: How many modern Christians cannot honestly answer the questions below? Who is the King of Israel in John 1:49? Is the King of Israel now the Head of the Church, and are we His Body? Who is the “son” that is the “heir” to the land in Matthew 21:37-43? Why did God allow the Romans to destroy the Old Covenant temple and the Old Covenant city, about 40 years after His Son fulfilled the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34 in blood at Calvary? What the modern Church needs is a New Covenant Revival (Heb. 9:10) in which members of various denominations are willing to re-examine everything they believe and see if it agrees with the Bible, instead of the traditions of men. We need to be like the Bereans. It will be a battle between our flesh and the Holy Spirit. It will not be easy. If you get mad and upset when someone challenges your man-made Bible doctrines, that is your flesh resisting the truth found in God's Word. Nobody can completely understand the Bible unless they understand the relationship between the Old Covenant given to Moses at Mount Sinai and the New Covenant fulfilled in blood at Calvary. God is not now a “racist”. He has extended His love to all races of people through the New Covenant fulfilled by His Son’s blood at Calvary. The Apostle Paul warned against using “genealogies” in our faith in 1 Tim. 1:4, and Titus 3:9. If the New Covenant is "everlasting" in Hebrews 13:20 and the Old Covenant is "obsolete" in Hebrews 8:13, why would any Christian believe God is going back to the Old Covenant system during a future time period?

Thank you Professor Solberg. I am new to your chanel and am very much appreciating your teachings. I have one request - could you please specify which Bible translation you are using when you quote your verses so we know you are not just randomly cherry picking from the one that best supports your viewpoint (as I have seen certain preacher/teachers do!)? Some Bible versions are less than accurate so it is important to state which you are quoting from so your viewers can make their own critical assessment of the trustworthiness. ALSO, I would expect a Professor (of all people) to do so, and it enhances your credibility/trustworthiness when you are transparent. Thanks kindly.🙏

I'm glad you found us, Mary! You make a fair request. I don't always remember to indicate the translation. That's partly because I believe all major English translations are overwhelmingly accurate. They all have their strong and weak areas, of course. This is why I consult a wide range of translations, as well as looking at the original languages, during my study and research. I can tell you that the Scripture I read in these video teachings is almost always from the ESV or the NIV. I tend to choose the translation based on what is the most clear English wording in light of the passage we're looking at. (Sometimes, I find a translation "clunky" in terms of the way they worded a phrase or sentence.) Hope that helps! Blessings, Rob

We know from scripture that "all" doesn't always literally mean ALL. In the case of Matt: 5:17-19, ALL WAS FULFILLED with His death and resurrection. He declared: "It is finished!" John 19:28 (NKJV) tells us, "After this, Jesus, knowing that ALL things were now accomplished [finished], that the Scripture [Tanakh] might be FULFILLED, said, 'I thirst!'" Also, in Luke (in the parallel verses to Matthew 24), which are about the destruction of the temple, Yeshua says this: ‭‭Luke‬ ‭21:22‬ ‭(NKJV‬‬): "For these are the days of vengeance, that ALL things which are written may be FULFILLED." Acts 3:18 echoes Matt. 5:17-19: "But those things which God foretold by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus FULFILLED."

@nancykindt6487 19 hours ago We know from scripture that "all" doesn't always literally mean ALL. In the case of Matt: 5:17-19, ALL WAS FULFILLED with His death and resurrection. He declared: "It is finished!" *Well, all that concerned his first coming was fulfilled by his death and resurrection, but it is trivial to demonstrate that not all the prophecies concerning Christ were fulfilled back at his first coming. Christ himself in Matthew 23 said he could not gather the people which is part of the prophecy of Deuteronomy 30 which Christ comes back in Matthew 24 and argues will be fulfilled at his second coming when the trumpet is blown and his angels gather his people from the ends of heaven. Christ in Isaiah 63 coming with died garments from Bozrah after treading the winefat doesn’t happen until his second coming either as explained by John in Revelation 19 when Christ will tread the winepress of Almighty God. Christ’s coming at the end of Isaiah 59 is another prophecy Christ did not fulfill, and there are many others. But, Christ did not claim that “Till I go and die on the cross, not one jot or tittle shall in anywise pass from the law.” Instead, Christ gives the sign of Heaven and earth passing away, a sign he comes back to show John after the cross in Revelation 21:1. So, Christ was trying to preserve the law of Moses, not get rid of it. If he had been teaching contrary to the law of Moses, Isaiah 8:20 would declare there is no light in him, and his title “the light of the world” would have no meaning or legitimacy. But, in verse 16 he wants our light to shine and to do good works, because those are the good works of the law in line with Isaiah 8:20. Because in Isaiah 8:16, God is trying to bind up the testimony and seal the law among his disciples, not take the law away from them. Binding the testimony to the right hand and sealing the law on the forehead is from the Mosaic law in Deuteronomy 6. It is the protection God’s people need to keep them from taking the mark of the beast in their right hand and forehead instead in Revelation 14. Because those who get the victory over the beast and his image in Revelation 15 stand on the sea of glass singing the song of Moses and the Lamb: demonstrating how relevant Moses is in these end times. But, sadly, many Christians do not want that victory, and they teach people to come out from under the law and reject Moses.

Hi Lorraine, The new covenant was for Israel (Jeremiah 31:31), this concept was also in the new testament. Christ is the King of Israel. So when we believe in him we are grafted into spiritual Israel (not the country). That idea then naturally follows that we should be keeping Torah just as Christ did. But NOT as the Jews did. We don't need to be Jewish. The Jewish religion is a false religion. Hence Christ saying they were a pit of vipers and they followed their father the devil. I think this is where Hebrew Roots messes up, they try to be Jewish, when they should be old testament only. They should be Israel or Hebrew. The new covenant established Christ as our high priest to replace the Levitical priest system for the atonement of sins, hence the change in the law, or that part of the law. I hope that helps.

Is this really what you think the Law refers to in that passage of Matthew?

HI Leeroy. That's interesting, I haven't seen that video. What I said in this video is that Jesus' statement in vv. 17-20 is about _all_ of the OT, which includes the law. So, for example, in v. 19, I believe the commandments Jesus refers to are those in the Mosaic law. My point in this video is that His entire statement (in vv. 17-20) is not legalistic in nature but rather prophetic. There are aspects of even the old covenant law that point to Jesus. Not in the sense of predictive prophecy but of typology and foreshadowing. And Jesus fulfilled it all! Blessings, Rob

Rom.8:2

[@coreybray9834]

0:00 Matthew 5:17-20-which is that passage that starts with Jesus saying, “I have not come to abolish the law and the prophets but to fulfill them”- that’s probably the most common proof text used by our “Torah-keeping” friends to bolster their belief that Christians are required to keep the old covenant law. *Well, if Christ is saying he didn’t come to abolish the law, and Christians start spouting that the law is abolished by Christ on the cross, then they are just striving to make a liar out of Christ. Christ is called “The light of the world” and that indicates that his doctrine can pass the test God set forth in Isaiah 8:20. If Christ came preaching against the law and the testimony, he wouldn’t be able to legitimately be called the light of the world, because Isaiah 8:20 would declare there is no light in him. So, anyone teaching against the law and testimony, God has already judged there is no light in these people and that is 95% of Christian theologians and pastors today. And Christ warns us in Matthew 4:4 to live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, like the words in Isaiah 8:20 that Christians are not living by because their pastors and theologians are not properly informing them of this critical test for light. And so, Professor, you should be starting a couple verses earlier and understanding why Christ tells his followers to let their light shine. The works Christ wanted his followers to perform in verse 16 were the good works of the law and testimony in line with Isaiah 8:20, so that when other men would see these light bearing works they would glorify God in heaven.* Solberg: And there’s no doubt that text speaks profoundly about the law and its enduring importance. But one thing it doesn’t say is that followers of Jesus are under that law. *And you think Christ would need to remind a circumcised Jewish audience who your own buddy Paul in Galatians 5 insists are debtors to do the whole law what their obligation to the law was??? LOL! Come on, Professor, every first century Jew in that audience would have known their basic obligation to keep the law of Moses, even Christ’s closest inner circle of followers, and the circumcised Christ himself. What should concern you more is Christ never tells us to come out from under the Mosaic law in the gospels. Because if he ever did that, any first century Jew familiar with Isaiah 8:20 would identify him as a liar and fraud who has no light in him immediately, arguing he is not the “light of the world” as claimed. I don’t think you properly understand what it is you are up against here and what kind of shame you are trying to heap on the character and reputation of Christ with your deep misunderstanding of Scripture here. If Christ wanted to test that boundry and blatantly violate Isaiah 8:20 and send the message that his followers should not keep the law of Moses, all he would have had to have said in the gospel is to “Stop circumcising”! That’s all he would have to say to break the Old Covenant once and for all. He never uttered those words before the cross, and he never uttered those words after the cross. Instead, man waited 20-years after Christ was gone in Acts 15 to conveniently start tampering with circumcision and the law. And they didn’t quote anything Christ actually said in Acts 15 as their reason for doing so, because they knew darn good and well Christ never promoted such abject nonsense against circumcision and the Mosaic law. And God foretold in Ezekiel 44 that their mistake in Acts 15 would lead to a future polluting of his house and breaking of his covenant the moment they bring uncircumcised strangers/gentiles into the future Davidic temple. The fact that God warns centuries in advance what their mistake would lead to should be enough to demonstrate just how wrong the early Christians were for abandoning circumcision and man’s obligation to the Mosaic law in the case of the strangers/gentiles. God instead, in Isaiah 56, invited the strangers/gentiles to come in and embrace his Sabbath and covenant, not be taught to reject those aspects of serving God under the Mosaic law like you are doing to deny them a name better than sons and daughters in God’s house. But, the last four verses of Isaiah 56 did warn us that shepherds like you would come in to mess things up for the strangers/gentiles in this respect. Funny how completely on top of things God is in the prophecies, like he knew you were coming to do this very harm to his people.

Are the 10 commandments done away with? And why did the Apostles keep the feasts and the sabbath even after Yahusha ascended?

[@dancingzolins6782]

First question, no, Yeshua reiterated 9 of them, but not the Sabbath. However, this channel has two videos that make a case for keeping the Sabbath. Second question, the apostles were descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to whom the Law of Moses was given. Why wouldn't they keep the feasts and Sabbath? After the destruction of the temple in 70AD, this became impossible, at least in the prescribed Biblical manner.

[@TheBiblicalRoots]

Here’s how I see it: The 10 Commandments all apply to Christians in a New Covenant context. If you think about it, 9 of the 10 Commandments are repeated and taught in the New Testament. The Sabbath command is not, but that doesn’t mean it’s obsolete. We’re not required to keep the seventh-day Sabbath as it was given to the ancient Israelites in the Law of Moses. (For example, neither animal sacrifices nor the death penalty are required.) I believe that, because of the death and resurrection of Christ, the focus of the Sabbath command has shifted to maintaining a daily heart posture of dependence on God and finding rest in Christ’s finished work (Rom. 14:5-6; Col. 2:16-17; Heb 4:1-11.) And more than that, I believe the principle behind the Sabbath command is still to be kept as a wise spiritual discipline: setting aside a regular time of rest to remember, thank, and worship God and be with family. As for the apostles, if they kept the feasts and the seventh day Sabbath under the new Covenant, it's because those things were never banned. Followers of Jesus are permitted (but not require) to keep those old covenant rituals if we choose. Blessings, Rob

[@whymindsetmatters]

@TheBiblicalRoots Okay but the Sabbath was established before the law was established in Genesis by the most high. Six days he worked and rested on the seventh day. Furthermore where in scripture does it say the Sabbath is optional? Scripture is very clear on this matter. The renewed covenant doesn't make the Sabbath obsolete.

[@whymindsetmatters]

@dancingzolins6782 where does it say they didn't? The temple was for animal sacrifice to atone for the sins of the Israelites. Yahusha was the lamb slain for the redemption of mankind once and for all. The temple was irrelevant at that point. We are the temple of the Holy spirit now.

[@dancingzolins6782]

​@whymindsetmatters Here are some points to consider regarding the Sabbath: 1. The Sabbath was not a COMMANDMENT given at creation. Gen 2:1-3 says WHAT GOD DID on that day, but there is no command to observe that day, at least not yet. 2. The word Sabbath is never used in the Genesis account. That day of the week is just called the seventh day. 3. From Adam to Moses, there is no Scriptural mention of anyone keeping the Sabbath. 4. Sabbath KEEPING began with Moses in Ex 16:23-30 and was made part of the Mosaic Covenant in Ex 20:8-11. In conclusion, Sabbath keeping began with the Law of Moses, not at Creation.

[@Rickie-x2]

​@@TRINITYTVint are we cherry pickers??? What do you mean which law??? How about every law that we cannot possibly keep such as the temple and sacrificial laws??? And that means, yes, the Sabbath laws, holy days, dietary laws and how we treat others still apply which are what the ten commandments actually teach. The first four teach how to love God and the following six how to love others. Cherry picking will not profit anybody. How about this? What did Jesus do? Did Jesus keep all of the law??? How about the apostles in the first century, did they? Of course they did, and they did only because they had the Spirit of Christ in them. Or do you think that the Spirit that led Christ into keeping all of the law will lead anyone of us into doing this differently???

@@Rickie-x2 the Spirit of God is not given so that we can keep Moses laws, he is sealed in us so that we can keep Jesus commands. BTW Jesus was sinless even before the Spirit came upon him when he was baptised. Everyone who tries to be right with God by works is under the power of sin, and rules and regulations empower the sin nature, that's why we must die to human regulations and laws. so that we can be freed from the power of sin and death, and live by the 'law of the Spirit of life' and the law of Christ. This only applies to the body of Christ, not the wolves and foxes who try to usurp the message of the cross.

Something everyone should consider. Matthew 7:13-15. The Messiah says "Enter by the NARROW gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and DIFFICULT is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. There are rougly 2 billion christians in the world and about 8 billion ppl. Thats 25% of the population. Do you really think 2 billion ppl are going to make it when Messiah says there are FEW that find it? He also says that DIFFICULT is the way which leads to life....

RL Solburg Brother. I see your love for the messiah and for the father. Your many videos have exposed a very common issue. Many ppl have an amazing ability to read the scriptures and understand the scriptures. Just as the Pharisees, and modern day Jews, they knew the word by memory. Here is the issue you have exposed. Without the Holy Spirit, it’s just academic knowledge with human reasoning and wisdom. It seems right in your own eyes. Paul also thought so aswell. You constantly speak of the “New Covenant “. According the scripture, the new covenant was made with the house of Israel and the house of Judah and I don’t believe you identify as being a part of either one. There are so many deeper truths found in scripture. It’s apparent that they have been hidden from your understanding and lie beyond you untill further repentance. You will probably not agree with this, and think your understanding is up to par. It is, for those who are lawless. But to those who have the spirit of God, it’s apparent you have much lacking of the mystery written within his word. Good day to you. We pray for you to have your “ Paul on the road to Damascus” encounter with the spirit. Untill then, peace be upon you and your followers.

Fulfilling

[@rickcampanella4254]

Many aren't understanding rightly dividing the word of truth. Seems people don't even understand why Jesus died on the cross. The law is a curse. People don't understand that what Jesus said He said while He was alive and under the law. Then the cross. Some believe themselves to be Jews but are not.

[@davidrose6045]

It is so sad to see that many people are still in the infancy of understanding the scriptures. Jesus very clearly came to save us from the power of sin. What is sin? the word of God tells us that sin is the breaking of God's commandments. The commandments are what drives us to the cross. For the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to christ. When one comes to Christ the law is now written on our hearts. If we and our new nature are still having a conflict with the Stony tablets that say thou shalt not, I would check to see if you're born again. Because we as Christians say thy law is my delight. The true Christian is dead two sins whereas the false Christian is dead in his sins. The apostle John made it very clear when he says he who sins is of the devil for this reason was the son of God manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil. What did Jesus tell the woman caught in the act of adultery to do? did he say just say I'm sorry? no! he said go and sin no more. The law does not save us but Grace changes us. just when a judge forgives a man for hideous transgressions he doesn't turn around because he has that freedom and go and commit the same sins that got him in trouble in the first place that would be taking Grace in vain. Now we as Christians we walk in the spirit and do not fulfill the lust of the flesh. But we are not to live in our sins. Be strong in the Lord in the power of His might resist the devil and he will flee. Jesus is coming very very soon as you can see the signs in the sky with all kinds of lying signs and wonders trying to lead the world astray. But Jesus said if we love him we will keep his commandments. You actually need help to get that one messed up. Brothers and sisters let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of flesh perfecting Holiness and fear of God, and present ourselves holy and blameless before the coming of the Lord through repentance and service to him. If we truly love him then the commandments will be our delight not our burden. If you hear any preacher that is preaching as of The commandments are a burden stay away from him because he does not understand grace.

[@seekingtruth1233]

In fulfilling the law, Jesus shows us that the Ten Commandments CAN be kept. However, by keeping the Ten Commandments He did not change or abolish the law. Saying the Ten Commandments was nailed to the cross is deceptive or plain misunderstanding stemming from acrediting Moses with writing the Ten Commandments. God wrote the Ten twice. Moses wrote the ordinances The Ten placed in the ARK. The ordinances on the outside. The Ten, just, perfect and true. The ordinances, a shadow of how God plans to save us after we break the Ten. DO NOT TEACH PEOPLE TO BREAK THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. They stand or fall together. They are the law of Love, love for God (1-4) and love for each other (5-10) Don't be deceived

Jhn 5:46 For if you had believed Moses, you would have believed Me, for he wrote of Me. Jhn 5:47 But if you do not believe his writings, how shall you believe My Words? Act 15:21 For Moses from ages past has those in every city proclaiming him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day. As new born again babes give them 4 commandments and as they go hear Moses being preached they’ll grow towards salvation by turning from lawlessness 2Pe 3:15 Bear in mind that the patience of our Lord means salvation-just as our dearly loved brother Paul also wrote to you with the wisdom given to him. 2Pe 3:16 He speaks about these matters in all of his letters. Some things in them are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist (as they also do with the rest of the Scriptures)-to their own destruction. 2Pe 3:17 Since you already know all this, loved ones, be on your guard so that you are not led astray by the error of the lawless and lose your sure footing. 2Pe 3:18 Instead, keep growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Yeshua the Messiah. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity! Amen. 1Pe 2:2 As newborn babes, long for pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow toward salvation- 1Pe 2:3 now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. Psa 19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, instructing babes. Deu 6:1 “And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which your God YHWH has commanded to teach you to do in the land which you are passing over there to possess it, Deu 6:2 so that you fear your God YHWH, to keep all His statutes and His commands which I am commanding you, you, and your son, and your son’s son, all [the] days of your life, and so that your days are prolonged. 1Jn 2:3 Now we know that we have come to know Him by this-if we keep His commandments. 1Jn 2:4 The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1Jn 2:5 But whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God is truly made perfect. We know that we are in Him by this- 1Jn 2:6 whoever claims to abide in Him must walk just as He walked. 1Co 11:1 Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Messiah. If Yeshua walked in the commandments of His Father and we are to imitate Him then we would walk in His footsteps being led by His Spirit Yeshua didn’t bring a new doctrine of His own Jhn 7:16 Yeshua answered, “My teaching is not from Me, but from Him who sent Me. Jhn 7:17 If anyone wants to do His will, he will know whether My teaching comes from God or it is Myself speaking. Jhn 7:18 Whoever speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true and there is no unrighteousness in Him. Jhn 7:19 Hasn’t Moses given you the Torah? Yet none of you keeps it. Why are you trying to kill Me?” That there is the most perfect answer of scripture Yeshua said if you do the will of God you’ll know if i teach my own doctrine or its from God and then He says you don’t keep the Torah so youre not doing Gods will I delight to do Your will, O my God.

I can’t look at women and get aroused anymore. LOL! Who ever said losing your sight wasn’t a blessing!* and that's is the sad part trying to keep the laws, no one no not one will measures up. *I think Lucifer agrees 100%. Why try to keep the law of a being who is impossible to please because he set the bar too high to set you up to fail? Like Lucifer in Revelation 12:17, you are on the cusp of joining his side of this war against commandment keepers. But, if Christians join Lucifer and reject God’s law, proving by Isaiah 8:20 there is no light in them, then what will the future of Christian anarchy produce if not a brutal hell for everyone involved once push really comes to shove just as Habakkuk 1:4 predicts??? God, on the otherhand, seems to think the days are coming in Isaiah 2:1-5 when the law will once again go forth from Zion. At this time, God will achieve something the anti-law Christians and all their anarchy could never achieve. He will demonstrate that with his law in place, the nations will beat their swords into pruning hooks and plowshares and not learn war anymore. So, maybe God’s law isn’t as impossible to keep as Christians are trying to make it appear. Maybe, as Isaiah 24:5-6 declares, what they are really begging for is the curse that devours the whole earth when God gets sick and tired of his law being transgressed. By the way, have you ever read Isaiah 8:16 in conjunction with Deuteronomy 6 and Revelation 14? There seems to be this thing in Scripture about what gets bound to your right hand and forhead. God seems to want to bind the testimony and seal his law in the foreheads of his people, but they don’t want his seal. What they would rather do is take the mark of the beast in their right hand and forehead instead. Proving to God every step of the way that there idea of rejecting his law and testimony is far better than being protected by it from the mark of the beast. But, I think God is the one who will have the last laugh on that front, because in Revelation 15, it is only those who sing the song of Moses and the Lamb ((The two prophets of Deuteronomy 18 who gave us the law and the gospel) who stand victorious on the sea of glass.

What about this, "fulfill" can meet "consummate" ...does a groom destroy/abolish/nullify his wedding vows at consummation? The last part, you essentially straw-manned "our Torah keeping friends" by implying that they say one gains salvation through works. Which is false. And then go on to acknowledge that the law keeps people from sin...so what are you fighting against? Do you want to sin? How do you know what sin is apart from the law? If you say love God, love others, that's weak. With that and no law, defent beastiality or having relations with your own mother. Keeping the law is simply avoiding sin, so the opposite would be...? Throughout, you say that the "New Testament" (post gospels) "clearly teaches [the law need not be kept]. That is false. Yes, Paul can be complicated, but read 1,2, or 3rd John, or James and say that.

Hi, Johnny Cash! I teach and believe that obedience to God is of utmost importance for believers. We are to submit to His authority over our lives. Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15). I’m sure you would agree that not every command God has given applies to every person at all times. Some only apply to certain people (i.e., men, women, parents, Levitical priests) or at certain times (i.e., building an ark, gathering manna, while in exile). And I’m sure you would also agree that we are each only expected to keep the commands of God that apply to us. The NT expressly teaches that many of the commands given under the Old Covenant Law do not apply to Christians today. (ex. Repeated blood sacrifices for sin are no longer required (Heb 10:18).) We still serve God and obey His commands, “But now we are released from the law, having died with Christ to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code” (Rom 7:6). And “If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law: (Gal. 5:18). Blessings, Rob

[@JohnnyCash-o6i]

@TheBiblicalRoots All the "Law" means is "Instructions." Instructions from God Himself as to how we should live. God gave those instructions so people could please Him and be successful, right? Aren't those things exactly what we all want? How many of us have prayed, "God, just tell me what to do, and I'll do it!" Maybe He already has. Ps 119 and other places describe the Law as "light," "wisdom," and "Truth"...so do we no longer wish to seek and follow all that these things entail? That's what the Law is. I agree that we need only obey the commandments that apply to us - it has NEVER been otherwise. Anything else would be unfair. Even Jesus did not follow ALL the Law (i.e. for women on their cycles, etc). So, it has ALWAYS been, "'which Laws CAN I obey?"...then obey them. I CAN refrain from stealing. I CAN make restitution if I damage borrowed property, I CAN observe Sabbath, I CAN eat clean...so I try to keep those commands (and the rest that I CAN do). And if I break a command that was within my power to do (which is defined as "sin" in the NT), then I ask forgiveness. As for animal sacrifices, I don't pretend to have that all figured out. What I do know is that I CANNOT go to the Temple, so just like how I don't have to worry about giving my fields a rest until I become a farmer, I don't focus on things until/if they apply to me. What my 'Law-breaking friends' (I wonder if you find that term as condescending as I do) don't seem to see is the damage they're doing... When Christians - only go with, "Love God, love others," with no defining what love looks like (i.e. following Truth (the Law)), we are essentially left with "Do what thou wilt"...the satanist creed. Departing from Truth (the Law) is what has led to Christians accepting narratives like, "love is love" and "we can all have our own truth"...and we've all seen how that goes. When a Christian doesn't follow God's Law, you'd be hard pressed to tell them apart from a 'good person' who is a non-believer...so how can that be defined as Holy (set apart)? Besides the benefits we personally get from following our loving God's instructions for life, I think you'd agree that we are called to be holy...obedience to all the laws that apply to us certainly would set us apart, eh? I challenge you and anyone reading this who isn't already...try it. Set yourself apart on just one thing: Obey the fourth commandment on the 7th day this week. Don't over-complicate it. Take the Sabbath to just rest and honestly seek God's will. Do it for a month and see what happens.

What do you say about yourself?” 23 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, “I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”[d] 24 Now the Pharisees who had been sent 25 questioned him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” Why do they distinguish between the Messiah and the Prophet if he is the same person? Also John made 3 denials in this chapter.

They were asking John the Baptist if he was the Messiah (no) or Elijah (no) or the prophet who Moses promised in Deuteronomy 18 : 18 (no).

[@coreybray9834]

Solberg: He does the same thing with Isaiah 43, which is a prophecy about Israel’s Savior. Verses 18-19 say: “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”Matthew speaks directly to the Jewish expectation of God doing a new thing. *I think you misunderstand this prophecy, Professor. Early on Isaiah says the following which Christ says he was not able to do at his first coming in Matthew 23, but is what he suggests will happen later at his second coming in Matthew 24 in line with Deuteronomy 30 as well. Isa 43:4 - Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. Isa 43:5 - Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; Isa 43:6 - I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; Here is Christ admitting that did not happen at his first coming. Mat 23:37 - O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! But, instead, Christ says it will happen at his second coming. Mat 24:30 - And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Mat 24:31 - And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. So, what Isaiah is talking about, when God does a new thing and why they will not remember the former things of old, is because at the second coming he will destroy the earth, moving every mountain and island out of its place in Revelation 6 in the sixth seal. And he will create a new heaven and new earth in Revelation 21:1. This is why Isaiah 66 comes back and reminds us of how God’s people will be brought to him again before heading into the New Earth in verses 22-23. So, Isaiah 43 is not a prophecy about what transpired at Christ’s first coming, but is concerning events related to his second coming. That is why it is unreliable to depend on the Jewish expectations. They were expecting Christ to come and overthrow their enemies too at his coming, but he didn’t meet that expectation of Micah 5’s prophecy either. Some prophecies speak to events around Christ’s first coming, some speak to the fulfillment of events between the first and second coming of Christ like in Matthew 24, and others are reserved to be fulfilled later at his second coming and beyond. And that is why Christians who try to usher in Jeremiah 31 at the first coming of Christ to introduce the New Covenant way too soon end up messing themselves up and getting things very wrong. And that is why you find yourself attacking what Christ says in Matthew 5:17-20, because you think Christ is trying to separate his people from their obligation to the Mosaic law, but he was doing the exact opposite.

Jesus fulfilled the law of Isreal in obedience to the Law of God,(not moses as Christians states),through it Salvation comes through Christ not works of the Law.

Some only apply to certain people (i.e., men, women, parents, Levitical priests) or at certain times (i.e., building an ark, gathering manna, while in exile). And I’m sure you would also agree that we are each only expected to keep the commands of God that apply to us. The NT expressly teaches that many of the commands given under the Old Covenant Law do not apply to Christians today. (ex. Repeated blood sacrifices for sin are no longer required (Heb 10:18).) We still serve God and obey His commands, “But now we are released from the law, having died with Christ to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code” (Rom 7:6). And “If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law: (Gal. 5:18). Blessings, Rob

Hi Simplemind. The Greek word in Matthew 2 is the same root word, it’s just a different case ending. In English, it would be kind of like the difference between: fulfill, fulfilled, fulfiller, fulfilling. And as I showed in my dozen or so examples, this is a word that Matthew consistently uses to mean “bring to a designed end,” specifically the fulfillment of prophecy. Rob

@@TheBiblicalRoots if I look at the use of πληρῶσαι in the LXX and then find the corresponding words in the masoretic, they are mal-lo-wt (consecrate), mal-le (consecrate), me-lo (fill up) or mal-lam (fill their). Whereas πληρωθῇ corresponds to me-lot (ended) or miq-qes (at the end). There appears to be a difference in meaning not case endings?

So, Jesus was a liar?: “ get away from me, I never knew you, you who are law breakers”.

[@georgehart8179]

The lawbreakers are those who are under the law which only Jesus could fully fulfill. So anyone claiming to be saved by the law is a liar. The saved are those who by faith believe that Jesus is the Messiah. If you do not accept Jesus as your Savior, since no one is saved by the law, you are headed to destruction.

I know your intentions are good but you are painting your listeners into a corner. Try telling a Jewish person who knows tanakh that Matthew is citing predictive prophesies with his "fulfillment" passages and you set them up for humiliation. What Matthew actually does is to show the uncanny consistency between Jesus and the People throughout the generations. When you assume a zero-sum typology such that the antitype "New Moses" Jesus obliterates the ekktype "Old Moses" or the "Old Israel," you completely undermine Matthew's argument of continuity. It also doesn't truly support the Fulfillment-as-Replacement Hypothesis when you begin by applying that presumption to your citations from Matthew. DISCLAIMER: I am not a Torah observant Christian.

[@TheBiblicalRoots]

Thanks, PSA! I hear what you're saying, though I see things differently. I agree with you that Matthew is drawing a very clear sense of continuity between the OT and the NT. But, if a Jewish person learns that prophecies in their own Scriptures have been fulfilled by Jesus, I don't see how that sets them up for humiliation. I imagine that news would either be seen as compelling or flatly rejected, depending on how open their heart is to the Gospel. Either way, the fact that Christians believe this shows how interconnected the Hebrew Bible and the NT truly are! Rob

[@PostSupAnglican]

Rob, the potential humiliation occurs when a Christian is led to believe Matthew's "fulfill" indicates there was a predictive prophesy in the Tanakh that the Messiah would be called a Nazarene, or a predictive prophesy of the slaughter of infants in Bethlehem, or a predictive prophesy that Israel-meaning-Messiah would be called out of Egypt. Matthew is pointing out *in retrospect* the providential correspondence to establish patterns across generations. That is a very different concept from foretelling. You use examples of Matthew's "fulfill" with regard to the words of the Prophets to bolster the idea that "fulfill" with regard to the Law can somehow mean to retire it; the visionary prediction gives way to the historical reality. The problem is that even in regard to the words of the Prophets, that is not at all what he means. The Messiah's sojourn in Egypt did not undo r Exodus - neither the initial historical experience nor the covenant that came after. The mourning in Ramah didn't replace, relativize, transform or retire the experience of Jewish suffering around the capital. It was neither the first nor last instance of that pattern. The fact that Jesus was born in Bethlehem doesn't sunset the Branch-like destiny of the Messiah. Rather it initiates that destiny. What Matthew does with those early instances of fulfill is typology rather than prediction, and it is not the supersessionist brand of zero-sum typology where the purpose of the antitype is to obliterate the ekktype. More importantly, none of this supports the strange hypothesis that for Matthew, fulfilling commandments means retiring them.

[@georgehart8179]

Matthew was written before Mark. Mark concentrates on the actions of Jesus Christ. Mark's gospel concentrates mainly on the framework of Jesus's actions during His earthly ministry, as recorded by Matthew. (I think of Mark as being a Readers Digest version from Matthew. I know very few of you have ever heard about Readers Digest.) Matthew's theme, for his gospel, is about all the prophecies that the coming Messiah would fulfill and that Jesus fulfilled all these prophecies, signifying that He is the Messiah, the Christ. Matthew's gospel is totally wrapped around the Old Testament Messianic prophecies that Jesus fulfilled and the prophecies that Jesus has given us about the last days, which started with the resurrection of Jesus Christ. (Jesus, in our Bible, through His own teachings and His teachings He gave the authors of the New Testament books, has told us all the prophecies that we can expect to receive in these last days.) Jesus taught Paul, in Arabia, His gospel that He wanted Paul to spread to all us Gentiles and to share with all the Jews. Jesus, in His teachings to Paul, caused him to turn completely around from believing that he was righteous because he had the Law (also learned that Jesus was the only Jew who ever was fully obedient to the Law, thereby obedient to God the Father) to being an apostle telling the world that we could be saved, be righteous, only by faith in the belief that Jesus is our Savior, the Messiah, the Christ. Paul also learned that the most important way that us Christians should exhibit Christ in our lives is love. Paul, in 1 Timothy 1:8-11, tells us Christians how we should regard the Law: But we KNOW that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane,... according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.

[@anthonypalelei8559]

I think it we bring more Bible verses to interpret the meaning of Matthew 5:17-18,, like Jeremiah 31:31-33 because they break the laws so many times, Jesus wants to nails the laws to the cross Colossians 2:14-17, because the people were killed because of the laws Roman 7:7-14, the laws was good and holy but the people were rebellion, so the laws still be there, but it's not active anymore, it will be there as a written document to testify about Jesus Luke 24:44.

[@MrMurfle]

I think his 'literal' interpretation of 'heaven and earth' passing away as a future eschatological event referring to the physical earth and, a what, I don't know, heaven, is erroneous. Heaven and earth passing, being shaken, burned or rolled up was biblical language often used to describe the destruction of a socio-political or governmental system during the ruin of its city or nation. Israel's heaven and earth was the Law. What 5:18 is saying is that the Law and its temple cultus stands until all OT prophecy is fulfilled. When is that? All prophecy was fulfilled in AD 70, "For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled." Luke 21:22

[@TheBiblicalRoots]

Thanks, Mr. Murfle! I get what you're saying and I largely agree with you. However, I did want to point out that there are still OT prophecies yet to be fulfilled. For example those about the second coming of the Messiah, complete global peace, etc. Blessings, Rob

@@TheBiblicalRoots For starters, when did Jesus say He would return? Answer: In His generation (Mt 24:34) and in the lifetime of some standing there with Him (Mt 16:28). Put together with other biblical data, that makes AD70 extremely compelling.
