The Torah provides a 2555 year journey where when years are compressed to days becomes 2555 days which is 7 years. Genesis 1, instead of separated creation narrative, is an outline of the 7 year journey. It is a path that one can live in their lifetime and yet, like one's own life, the moments of the journey are not the point. You start at one state of existence, you come out the other end at another state of existence. The journey, the Torah, is life What comes out of the Torah and enters the promised land is the child/children of those who escaped the Pharoah's (or kingships) enslavement. These "children" walked in with the 10 commandments, not as rules to follow, but expression of this new state of existence they became. Often we seen in religious life that the Torah (or bible) is handed out to people when they turn the age of 13/14 which is kind of when, historically, a person is no longer considered a child but has become a man or woman. The journey itself begins with the formation of a man/woman. Now some might think there is a need to be enforcers of what they saw as rules inside the text but perhaps doing that prevents completion of the journey as seeing it that way creates a form of kingship not much different from the Pharoah's logic. One who does see the journey, however, does not come to destroy the Torah, but to fulfil it.
Other things? Are you saying that the writings of Moses did not enter? They were on the outside of the Ark. If they didn’t enter, how is it we have them? The name “Joshua” is discussed in detail in my piece “God has a Name.” I am assuming by “the commandments” that you mean “the Ten Commandments, as in what was written on the stone tablets that were in the Ark. That is another interesting story which I write about in “Have you considered this: The Ten Commandments.”
Thank you for commenting here. Torah, literally means “instructions.” These are YHVH’s instructions on how He expects us to live. What I see missing are the Covenants that define mankind’s relationship with YHVH. There are many ways of looking at the creation story, first literally, second as a template for seven 980 year prophetic days as I describe in great detail in my book Blessings & Curses: if my people… https://blessingsandcursesbook.com.
yes, instructions as the name also works. What enters the promised land is Joshua (whose name aligns as "Yahweh saves" and compares to Jesus), the children (the generation born in the wilderness after the Exodus). the ark and the commandments. Other things, did not. That is what is written?
I want to be a paid subscriber and order your book but I need to know what you believe in what are your beliefs regarding Yahweh and Yeshua. God willing I will
Hello Miss Binks! Thank you for reading this. I written a lot on my Substack about exactly what I believe. It is not mainstream. The reason my Substack is titled "Have You Considered This?" is that I want to question everything. I want to reason and not be spoon fed what some else wants me to know. I doubt we would agree on everything and am willing to learn from anyone that can make a logical and reasoned case backed by evidence. You can get a gist of where this is going by just reading the next two articles on my Substack: "Easter or Passover?" and "The New Covenant." If you do, please share your thoughts there.
If you were given "War and Peace" to read I doubt you would start at page 400. I agree with your advice on Paul's letters.
I read so many articles and comments but one that sticks in my mind is the Bible of 49 books (7×7) being 22 OT and 27 NT with Peter James John and Jude preceeding Paul's letters.
Love this!
