The Book of the Law – Part 1

1 Timothy 3:16  All scripture is given by inspiration of Elohim, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. 2 Corinthians 8:13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished/katargeo/beṭêl-בּטל, to stop, to cease, to hinder. Ephesians 2:15 Having abolished/katargeo/beṭêl-בּטל, in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace. Note: it’s only the law/torah of commandments contained in ordinances that falls under the abolishment clause; NOT the law/torah contained in covenant! 2 Timothy 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Yahusha Messiah, who hath abolished/katargeo/beṭêl-בּטל,death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. “Abolished death” doesn’t mean you and I won’t die. The key to understanding the abolishment clause is its ADMINISTRATION, the ministration of death. 2 Corinthians 3:7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, (Deuteronomy 27; Ezekiel 20;25) was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; (second set of tablets) which glory was to be done away:8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. (Defining abolish, obsolete, done away with) What abolished DOES mean: Ezra 6:8  Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to these elders of the Jews for the building of this house of Elohim: that of the king’s goods, even of the tribute beyond the River, expenses be given with all diligence unto these men, that they be not abolished/hindered. Darius makes a decree not to hinder/abolish the work of the men who are rebuilding the temple. So the context of abolish is surrounding, not hindering the new building up of a temple that was previously destroyed. The context of the “abolished” clause in the NT is the book of the law is NOT to hinder the building of the One New Man into the Commonwealth of Israel, as a Holy nation and a Kingdom of Priests. The book of the law is no longer a hinderance to the building up of the new temple man that was previously destroyed. Ezra 4:21 Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not builded, until another commandment shall be given from me. Context is the building up of a new temple and commandments being given and commandments ceasing. Ezra 5:5 The context is one cannot cause the building up of the new temple to cease because it’s by the hand of Yah. Galatians 3:12  And the law is not of faith but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. Exodus 19:8 informs us the Book of the covenant is of faith, “All that יהוה hath spoken we will do.” That’s of faith. Whereas the Book of the law was not of faith it was: imposed on them until the time of reformation. Hebrews 9:10. What abolished DOES NOT mean: Heb. mâchâh מחה, Gk: apollumi, destroyed. Hebrews 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. A Will, a death is required in order to secure what יהוה promised to do. If I made a Will in 2015 and then made a new Will in 2018 the Will is ‘new’ not ‘renewed’. Can we agree on that? You can only have one Will in administration at a time. You can’t have two different laws and blood covenants running simultaneously, anymore than you can have two Presidency’s under one Administration. Darius made command, a decree concerning the administration of the building of a new temple. OBSOLETE: Isn’t obsolete the same as destroyed? No, it’s akin to abolished in regard to administration again: Roma
