The biblical view of the Torah


The biblical view of the Torah

Although my goal is to provide Scriptures and argument to demonstrate that the Torah is still to be obeyed. I know that there are many misconceptions concerning it. Therefore, let’s settle once and for all what the bible says about Adonai´s Torah. Forget tradition. Let’s hear the testimony of scripture concerning Adonai´s Torah. No matter what we currently believe, let’s diligently listen to what the old and new covenants say concerning the Torah. Once we understand and believe what the Bible says about the Torah, then we can progress on with the obvious consequences of that knowledge.

  • The Torah is spiritual-Romans 7:14a : “we know that the law is spiritual
  • The Torah is holy, righteous and good- Romans 7:12. “So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good”.
  • From Psalm 119 we see that the Torah is …better than gold and silver, faithful, settle in heaven, sweeter than honey, a lamp unto our path, a heritage, strength, wonderful, pure, truth, eternal, endures forever.
  • From psalm 119 how are we to relate to the Torah?
  • Hide it in our hearts; don’t let us wander from it; rejoice in them; meditate on them; delight in them; keep them; obey them; long for them; let them give us life; help us understand them; they counsel us; hope in them, use the m to walk in liberty; tell others about them; they comfort us; write them in our heart.
  • Yahshua and the new covenant Apostle know that the entire Torah was perfect. That’s why they ascribed to it the greatest of respect. They said that the entire Torah was perfect. That’s why they ascribe to it the greatest of respect. They said that the entire Torah taught two things: Love YHWH all your entire being and love your neighbor as yourself. Pause and think about that. This one message, should it be abolished?
  • Romans 13:8-10: “let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellow man has fulfilled the law. The commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, do not steal do not covet, and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: love your neighbor as yourself. Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.”
  • Galatians 5:14: “the entire law is summed up in a single command: love your neighbor as yourself”
  • Matthew 27:37-40: “Yahshua replied: “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with your entire mind. This is the first and greatest command. And the second is like it: love your neighbor as yourself. All the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments”.

You have just been presented a biblical view on the characteristics of the Torah and its relationship in any way, evil, sinful, old and outdated, needing to be replaced, temporary , something that needed to be “broken down” , abolished, blotted out, nailed to yahshua´s cross, “taken away,” “only a shadow,” “a rudiment of the world,” something that’s going to perish with using?” I didn’t think so. Remember, forget any doctrines that are popping into your mind that don’t line up with what you have just read. Base your answer with what the bible says about the YHWH´s Torah. As to the question of how a believer is relate to YHWH´s Torah, base your answer on David’s mindset, a man after God’s heart.

Psalm 119

1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way,
Who walk in the law of the LORD!
2 Blessed are those who keep His testimonies,
Who seek Him with the whole heart!
3 They also do no iniquity;
They walk in His ways.
4 You have commanded us
To keep Your precepts diligently.
5 Oh, that my ways were directed
To keep Your statutes!
6 Then I would not be ashamed,
When I look into all Your commandments.
7 I will praise You with uprightness of heart,
When I learn Your righteous judgments.
8 I will keep Your statutes;
Oh, do not forsake me utterly!

9 How can a young man cleanse his way?
By taking heed according to Your word.
10 With my whole heart I have sought You;
Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!
11 Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You.
12 Blessed are You, O LORD!
Teach me Your statutes.
13 With my lips I have declared
All the judgments of Your mouth.
14 I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies,
As much as in all riches.
15 I will meditate on Your precepts,
And contemplate Your ways.
16 I will delight myself in Your statutes;
I will not forget Your word.

17 Deal bountifully with Your servant,
That I may live and keep Your word.
18 Open my eyes, that I may see
Wondrous things from Your law.
19 I am a stranger in the earth;
Do not hide Your commandments from me.
20 My soul breaks with longing
For Your judgments at all times.
21 You rebuke the proud—the cursed,
Who stray from Your commandments.
22 Remove from me reproach and contempt,
For I have kept Your testimonies.
23 Princes also sit and speak against me,
But Your servant meditates on Your statutes.
24 Your testimonies also are my delight
And my counselors.

25 My soul clings to the dust;
Revive me according to Your word.
26 I have declared my ways, and You answered me;
Teach me Your statutes.
27 Make me understand the way of Your precepts;
So shall I meditate on Your wonderful works.
28 My soul melts from heaviness;
Strengthen me according to Your word.
29 Remove from me the way of lying,
And grant me Your law graciously.
30 I have chosen the way of truth;
Your judgments I have laid before me.
31 I cling to Your testimonies;
O LORD, do not put me to shame!
32 I will run the course of Your commandments,
For You shall enlarge my heart.

33 Teach me, O LORD, the way of Your statutes,
And I shall keep it to the end.
34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law;
Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
35 Make me walk in the path of Your commandments,
For I delight in it.
36 Incline my heart to Your testimonies,
And not to covetousness.
37 Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things,
And revive me in Your way.[a]
38 Establish Your word to Your servant,
Who is devoted to fearing You.
39 Turn away my reproach which I dread,
For Your judgments are good.
40 Behold, I long for Your precepts;
Revive me in Your righteousness.

41 Let Your mercies come also to me, O LORD—
Your salvation according to Your word.
42 So shall I have an answer for him who reproaches me,
For I trust in Your word.
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth,
For I have hoped in Your ordinances.
44 So shall I keep Your law continually,
Forever and ever.
45 And I will walk at liberty,
For I seek Your precepts.
46 I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings,
And will not be ashamed.
47 And I will delight myself in Your commandments,
Which I love.
48 My hands also I will lift up to Your commandments,
Which I love,
And I will meditate on Your statutes.

49 Remember the word to Your servant,
Upon which You have caused me to hope.
50 This is my comfort in my affliction,
For Your word has given me life.
51 The proud have me in great derision,
Yet I do not turn aside from Your law.
52 I remembered Your judgments of old, O LORD,
And have comforted myself.
53 Indignation has taken hold of me
Because of the wicked, who forsake Your law.
54 Your statutes have been my songs
In the house of my pilgrimage.
55 I remember Your name in the night, O LORD,
And I keep Your law.
56 This has become mine,
Because I kept Your precepts.

57 You are my portion, O LORD;
I have said that I would keep Your words.
58 I entreated Your favor with my whole heart;
Be merciful to me according to Your word.
59 I thought about my ways,
And turned my feet to Your testimonies.
60 I made haste, and did not delay
To keep Your commandments.
61 The cords of the wicked have bound me,
But I have not forgotten Your law.
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You,
Because of Your righteous judgments.
63 I am a companion of all who fear You,
And of those who keep Your precepts.
64 The earth, O LORD, is full of Your mercy;
Teach me Your statutes.

65 You have dealt well with Your servant,
O LORD, according to Your word.
66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge,
For I believe Your commandments.
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray,
But now I keep Your word.
68 You are good, and do good;
Teach me Your statutes.
69 The proud have forged a lie against me,
But I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart.
70 Their heart is as fat as grease,
But I delight in Your law.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted,
That I may learn Your statutes.
72 The law of Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of coins of gold and silver.

73 Your hands have made me and fashioned me;
Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.
74 Those who fear You will be glad when they see me,
Because I have hoped in Your word.
75 I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are right,
And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.
76 Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort,
According to Your word to Your servant.
77 Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live;
For Your law is my delight.
78 Let the proud be ashamed,
For they treated me wrongfully with falsehood;
But I will meditate on Your precepts.
79 Let those who fear You turn to me,
Those who know Your testimonies.
80 Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes,
That I may not be ashamed.

81 My soul faints for Your salvation,
But I hope in Your word.
82 My eyes fail from searching Your word,
Saying, “When will You comfort me?”
83 For I have become like a wineskin in smoke,
Yet I do not forget Your statutes.
84 How many are the days of Your servant?
When will You execute judgment on those who persecute me?
85 The proud have dug pits for me,
Which is not according to Your law.
86 All Your commandments are faithful;
They persecute me wrongfully;
Help me!
87 They almost made an end of me on earth,
But I did not forsake Your precepts.
88 Revive me according to Your lovingkindness,
So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.

89 Forever, O LORD,
Your word is settled in heaven.
90 Your faithfulness endures to all generations;
You established the earth, and it abides.
91 They continue this day according to Your ordinances,
For all are Your servants.
92 Unless Your law had been my delight,
I would then have perished in my affliction.
93 I will never forget Your precepts,
For by them You have given me life.
94 I am Yours, save me;
For I have sought Your precepts.
95 The wicked wait for me to destroy me,
But I will consider Your testimonies.
96 I have seen the consummation of all perfection,
But Your commandment is exceedingly broad.

97 Oh, how I love Your law!
It is my meditation all the day.
98 You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies;
For they are ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers,
For Your testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understand more than the ancients,
Because I keep Your precepts.
101 I have restrained my feet from every evil way,
That I may keep Your word.
102 I have not departed from Your judgments,
For You Yourself have taught me.
103 How sweet are Your words to my taste,
Sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through Your precepts I get understanding;
Therefore I hate every false way.

105 Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
106 I have sworn and confirmed
That I will keep Your righteous judgments.
107 I am afflicted very much;
Revive me, O LORD, according to Your word.
108 Accept, I pray, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD,
And teach me Your judgments.
109 My life is continually in my hand,
Yet I do not forget Your law.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me,
Yet I have not strayed from Your precepts.
111 Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever,
For they are the rejoicing of my heart.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes
Forever, to the very end.

113 I hate the double-minded,
But I love Your law.
114 You are my hiding place and my shield;
I hope in Your word.
115 Depart from me, you evildoers,
For I will keep the commandments of my God!
116 Uphold me according to Your word, that I may live;
And do not let me be ashamed of my hope.
117 Hold me up, and I shall be safe,
And I shall observe Your statutes continually.
118 You reject all those who stray from Your statutes,
For their deceit is falsehood.
119 You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross;
Therefore I love Your testimonies.
120 My flesh trembles for fear of You,
And I am afraid of Your judgments.

121 I have done justice and righteousness;
Do not leave me to my oppressors.
122 Be surety for Your servant for good;
Do not let the proud oppress me.
123 My eyes fail from seeking Your salvation
And Your righteous word.
124 Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy,
And teach me Your statutes.
125 I am Your servant;
Give me understanding,
That I may know Your testimonies.
126 It is time for You to act, O LORD,
For they have regarded Your law as void.
127 Therefore I love Your commandments
More than gold, yes, than fine gold!
128 Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things
I consider to be right;
I hate every false way.

129 Your testimonies are wonderful;
Therefore my soul keeps them.
130 The entrance of Your words gives light;
It gives understanding to the simple.
131 I opened my mouth and panted,
For I longed for Your commandments.
132 Look upon me and be merciful to me,
As Your custom is toward those who love Your name.
133 Direct my steps by Your word,
And let no iniquity have dominion over me.
134 Redeem me from the oppression of man,
That I may keep Your precepts.
135 Make Your face shine upon Your servant,
And teach me Your statutes.
136 Rivers of water run down from my eyes,
Because men do not keep Your law.

137 Righteous are You, O LORD,
And upright are Your judgments.
138 Your testimonies, which You have commanded,
Are righteous and very faithful.
139 My zeal has consumed me,
Because my enemies have forgotten Your words.
140 Your word is very pure;
Therefore Your servant loves it.
141 I am small and despised,
Yet I do not forget Your precepts.
142 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,
And Your law is truth.
143 Trouble and anguish have overtaken me,
Yet Your commandments are my delights.
144 The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting;
Give me understanding, and I shall live.

145 I cry out with my whole heart;
Hear me, O LORD!
I will keep Your statutes.
146 I cry out to You;
Save me, and I will keep Your testimonies.
147 I rise before the dawning of the morning,
And cry for help;
I hope in Your word.
148 My eyes are awake through the night watches,
That I may meditate on Your word.
149 Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness;
O LORD, revive me according to Your justice.
150 They draw near who follow after wickedness;
They are far from Your law.
151 You are near, O LORD,
And all Your commandments are truth.
152 Concerning Your testimonies,
I have known of old that You have founded them forever.

153 Consider my affliction and deliver me,
For I do not forget Your law.
154 Plead my cause and redeem me;
Revive me according to Your word.
155 Salvation is far from the wicked,
For they do not seek Your statutes.
156 Great are Your tender mercies, O LORD;
Revive me according to Your judgments.
157 Many are my persecutors and my enemies,
Yet I do not turn from Your testimonies.
158 I see the treacherous, and am disgusted,
Because they do not keep Your word.
159 Consider how I love Your precepts;
Revive me, O LORD, according to Your lovingkindness.
160 The entirety of Your word is truth,
And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.

161 Princes persecute me without a cause,
But my heart stands in awe of Your word.
162 I rejoice at Your word
As one who finds great treasure.
163 I hate and abhor lying,
But I love Your law.
164 Seven times a day I praise You,
Because of Your righteous judgments.
165 Great peace have those who love Your law,
And nothing causes them to stumble.
166 LORD, I hope for Your salvation,
And I do Your commandments.
167 My soul keeps Your testimonies,
And I love them exceedingly.
168 I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies,
For all my ways are before You.

169 Let my cry come before You, O LORD;
Give me understanding according to Your word.
170 Let my supplication come before You;
Deliver me according to Your word.
171 My lips shall utter praise,
For You teach me Your statutes.
172 My tongue shall speak of Your word,
For all Your commandments are righteousness.
173 Let Your hand become my help,
For I have chosen Your precepts.
174 I long for Your salvation, O LORD,
And Your law is my delight.
175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise You;
And let Your judgments help me.
176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep;
Seek Your servant,
For I do not forget Your commandments.

The master Key of Greatness


The master Key of Greatness

by Dr Dominiquae Bierman

Matthew 5.17-19

17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.


The 120 disciples that were in the upper Room of the Temple (temple mount of today) were following the master’s key for greatness. They were obeying the commandment in the Torah about celebrating the feast of Shavuot (Pentecost) in Jerusalem. Also, as is customary in those types of gatherings, they were praying and studying Torah together.

They were both doing the commandment and teaching it. Greatness simply followed. The Holy Spirit fell like tongues of fire and sat on each one of them. When the Holy Spirit fell with such might, it did not fall on ignorant, disobedient pagans. It fell on Jewish disciples of Y´shua that had studied Torah with Him. He was their Rabbi for 3 and ½ years, and now they were following His instructions.

Please notice that every time there is an outpouring of the Holy Spirit that impacts many, it is connect with these two factors:

1- People are waiting on the Lord in prayer.

2- Torah is taught; Holiness and obedience is taught.


To the First outpouring you need to add another factor; they were celebrating a divine appointment with YHWH, through the feasts. All of His feasts, as depicted in Leviticus 23 and throughout the Word, are divine dates or divine appointment with the Father.

Any group that sets themselves to seek YHWH through prayer and teach His Torah, His holy and righteous standards for living, will keep the divine appointments of the Feasts is using the master key for greatness. Greatness surely follows. He will beautify those that seek Him in truth with His Presence!

It is high time to stop being the least in the kingdom and become great!

As this apostolic Move of the restoration of the Torah goes on, we will see more and more great disciples and great apostles arise.

YHWH has destined us for greatness, but rebellion and ignorance of His Torah, His divine appointments and Holy standards has kept most of the church in a condition of “smallness”, rather than greatness. It is not surpriseing that the nations of the world are not afraid of the Ekklesia and that they keep on “doing their own thing” without taking us into consideration. But it is TIME to shake of the Nicene creed, and every deceptive “church theology” that will keep us small. YHWH is calling us to GREATNESS.

Had the church been GREAT at the time of the second word war, it would have arisen as an Esther, and it would have stopped the Holocaust. The church has authority to bind and to loose, which means to forbid or to permit. It takes GREAT people to have the boldness and courage to forbid wickedness. YHWH is calling us to GREATNESS.


The missing factor in the body is the TORAH. As Yahashua says, he that does it and teaches it shall be great in the kingdom. No one can hate the Jews when when they love the TORAH. In fact anti-Semitism is totally connected with rejecting the law, the Eternal word of YHWH. A person that loves the TORAH can never hate the people through which it came. NEVER!

It is the TORAH that made the people of Israel great, And it is the TORAH that will make you great today! Yahshua come to teach us how to walk it, not to abolish it. How could He abolish the Law of His Father? No, He came to give us a FULL interpretatio, and then He sent tje Holy Spirit, the Ruach HaKodesh, to continue the work. Satan has tried to diminished Elohim´s Torah from the beginning . In the garden He gave a TORAH instruction to Adam:


16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

Genesis 2:16-17.


Later on Satan came to the woman saying:


1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

Genesis 3:1


And the n he proceeded to undermine YHWH´s Torah instruction by saying that there would be no consequences if she broke it. “You shall not surely die.” In other words he was saying what many noted preachers say today:

The law is not for today and if you break it you will suffer no consequences. You shall not surely die. You are free from the law..

It is amazing how these preachers forget the warning of Acts 5 shen a couple by the name of Ananias and Saphiras fell dead at the feet of Shimon Peter the apostle because they lied about their finances.


Since the apostles and all the believers lived a Torah observant lifestyle, they had a healthy fear of YHWH and of breaking His commandments. They also had a GREATNESS about them that caused a fear of them in all the city of Jerusalem! They were a CHURCH WITH TORAH! They kept the commandments, kept the biblical feasts and ate clean Animals (Leviticus 11). They were not Christians; neither did they know anything about Christianity, Easter, Christmas or Sunday. No, they kept Shabbat and honored YHWH ´s Torah. They walked in such Glory even their shadows healed the sick! Anyone that will follow in their footsteps will have the same GREATNESS and the same GLORY!

When the snake came to the woman and dismissed the Torah in the garden as irrelevant, followed by the man, broke the commandment and fell into the most horrendous curse! The first event that happens after this, in Genesis 4, is murder. Abel murders his brother Cain, over the exact same issue! Abel was obeying Elohim´s instructions about offerings and sacrifices, but Cain had set up an alternate system and wanted to worship YHWH his own way! Cain killed Abel!


“If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”

Genesis 4:7


In other words: if you follow My instructions on how to worship me(TORAH), then your offering will be accepted and you will be blessed, but if you do “your own thing, your own way”, disconnected from My Torah Instructions, you will fall into sin. But this doesn’t have happen; I have given you authority over sin!

When the offering of Abel was accepted and the offering of Cain was not, murder followed! The rejection, diminishing, dismissal and hatred of Torah brings forth murder. Since the divorce of the church from Torah and from the messianic Jews in 325A:D., millions of Jews have been killed in the name of Christ and this man-made religion called Christianity.

The disciples in the upper Room on the day of Shavuot were not Christians. They were Jews: followers and disciples of Messiah. They were GREAT, they loved Torah, and they were not murderers. In fact, they were martyrs! The gentiles that followed them, such as Cornelius, were GREAT. They were lovers of Torah and followers of “the Way.” They kept the biblical Feast and they would not have considered breaking the Torah, breaking the Shabbat or eating pork as “freedom”.


The rejection, diminishing, dismissal and hatred of Torah bring forth murder. The acceptance and love of Torah and YHWH instructions bring life and GREATNESS!


Regarding the gentiles joining the Lord, this is again confirmed in Isaiah 56:

“Thus says the Lord: “keep justice and do righteousness, for my salvation is about to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.”

In other words, in order to prepare for deliverance to come to your life, family, and nation, there needs to be a turning from unrighteousness to righteousness. There has to be a desire to be holy! Repentance precedes deliverance.


2 Blessed is the man who does this,
And the son of man who lays hold on it;
Who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”

Isaiah 56.2


In other words, favor, prosperity, and wholeness will follow such a person such a person.


3 Do not let the son of the foreigner
Who has joined himself to the LORD
Speak, saying,

“ The LORD has utterly separated me from His people”;
Nor let the eunuch say,

“ Here I am, a dry tree.”
4 For thus says the LORD:

“ To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths,
And choose what pleases Me,
And hold fast My covenant,
5 Even to them I will give in My house
And within My walls a place and a name
Better than that of sons and daughters;
I will give thema]">[a] an everlasting name
That shall not be cut off.
6 “ Also the sons of the foreigner
Who join themselves to the LORD, to serve Him,
And to love the name of the LORD, to be His servants—
Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And holds fast My covenant—
7 Even them I will bring to My holy mountain,
And make them joyful in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
Will be accepted on My altar;
For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.”


Great people can talk to the great people of the world such as kings, queens, presidents, and prime Ministers. Small people will not be accepted in their presence. All the prophets and apostles of old that loved YHWH´s TORAH were GREAT, and so they spoke into the lives of kings and rulers.

RECEIVE THE MASTER´S KEY FOR GREATNESS- MAY HE MAKE YOU JOYFUL IN HIS HOUSE OF PRAYER AND MAY YOUR OFFERINGS BE ACCEPTED AS YOU FOLLOW HIS TORAH BY HIS SPIRIT OF LIFE!

May you become GREAT and impact the nations for His Glory!

May you become GREAT, and like Queen Esther with Mordecai of old, may you rise up and stop Satan’s plan to bring about another Holocaust to destroy the Jews.

May you become GREAT and be voice stopping any political programs that want to force Israel to give her land away to her enemies.

May you become GREAT as you teach His TORAH to others.

May you become GREAT, as he fills you with his Glory because of all of the above.

May you become great!!!


19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:19
