The Written Torah
Is the Oral Torah or the Prophets a continuation of the Written Torah?
Last fall I got an invitation to come to the Sukkot celebration at a local synagogue. This was strange and unexpected. I had not ever been to this synagogue and I did not know anyone at this synagogue. To this day, I have no idea how I got chosen to receive this invitation.
When the day I was invited came around, I decided to go. It just seemed like the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) wanted me to go. There a picnic of sorts according to the invitation, so I brought a bag of chips that had a prominent hechsher (Kosher mark) on the front with me.
When I got there, most of the people were somewhat unfriendly, but polite. They all seemed to know each other, but none of them knew me. I put my bag of chips on the table with the rest of the food. I had no idea what I was supposed to do next.
After looking around for a bit, I saw people standing in line to make fresh pita bread. So, I got some fresh dough and went to the back of the line.
When it was my turn, I started talking to the pita baker while my pita cooked over the campfire. It turned out that he was the husband of the Shaliach (emissary) to Tulsa. (Tulsa is a sister city with Tiberias, Israel and they send emissaries to each other.) He was a Sabra (native born Israeli).
While my pita was cooking, I told him that the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) was the Messiah of Israel. He was very friendly and receptive to discussing the matter. So when he asked me why I believed this, I quoted to him a few passages from the Original Covenant (Tanakh aka The Old Testament) that makes this pretty plain.
When my pita was ready, he said that he was interested in hearing more, but he had to take care of the next person. There was still a long line still left, so I looked for somewhere to eat my pita.
I noticed that a man went into the Sukkah (booth) to eat his pita, so I went in the Sukkah to eat mine as well.
While I was eating my pita, I started talking to the man. I learned that he was not a member of the host synagogue either. He told me that he lived nearby, so he decided to come to their Sukkot celebration when he heard about it.
I then I told him that the Man of Truth was the Messiah of Israel. He asked in a very guarded manner why I thought that. So, I quoted to him the same passages from the Original Covenant that I had told the pita baker.
I was surprised by his response. He told me that he went to the Chabad House. His went on to explain that the Oral Torah was a continuation of the Written Torah, but the Prophets were contrary to the Written Torah. In particular, he argued that the Book of Daniel was not from the Father of Truth. So, the passages from the Prophets that I used to show that the Man of Truth was the Messiah of Israel were contrary to the Written Torah and invalid.
This was new to me. I had known people who accepted both the Oral Torah and the Prophets as valid. I had known people who rejected both of them. I had known people rejected the Oral Torah, but accepted the Prophets as valid. I had never known anyone who accepted the Oral Torah as valid, but rejected the Prophets as invalid.
I told him that he had this backwards. The Prophets were a continuation of the Written Torah and the Oral Torah was contrary to the Written Torah.
That irritated him and our conversation was over. So, I finished my pita. It seemed that it was time to go home after that, so I did.
I wondered why I went to this event. It seemed like a waste of time. My wife told me that I was probably there to talk the man in the Sukkah. I decided that she was probably right. I would have never known that there was any question about whether the Oral Torah or the Prophets were a continuation of the Written Torah, if I had not accepted the invitation to that Sukkot celebration.
The best way to answer this question without a doubt is to see what the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) says about the Oral Torah and the Prophets.
First, a little background information about the Written Torah, the Oral Torah, and the Prophets.
The Written Torah is the Law of Truth. It is called the Written Torah, because it was written down at the time of Moses (Moishe), when the events occurred. It is the first five books of the Original Covenant. The Written Torah is usually just referred to as the Torah.
The Oral Torah is the collection of oral traditions that the Pharisees say were passed down to them from the seventy elders. They maintain that these seventy elders heard things, which Moses did not write down in the Written Torah.
This Oral Torah was called the Mishnah, after it was written down a little after 200 AD. Then the commentary of the Rabbis on the Mishnah was written down after that to form the Gemara. The Talmud is the Mishnah and Gemara collectively.
(There are actually two Talmuds. The misnamed Jerusalem Talmud was completed in Tiberias (sister city of Tulsa) in about 400 AD. The Babylonian Talmud was completed in the Babylonia in about 500 AD. The Babylonian Talmud is usually just referred to as the Talmud.)
The Talmud is the foundational book of Rabbinic Judaism. However, the validity of the Talmud is completely dependent upon the Law of Truth.
The Prophets are the writings about the Prophets of Truth. They form the second part of the Original Covenant. The Prophets of Truth were men raised up by the Father of Truth to turn the people of Israel back to following the Law of Truth. The validity of the Prophets is completely dependent upon the Law of Truth.
Now that it has been established what is meant by the Written Torah, the Oral Torah, and the Prophets, it time to see if the Written Torah supports the Oral Torah, the Prophets, both, or neither as a continuation to it.
The Rabbis claim that the Oral Torah was heard by the seventy elders when they went up with Moses (Moishe) on Mount Sinai, but the Rabbis are liars. The Written Torah makes it very plain that the elders did not go up to Mount Sinai with Moses (Exodus 24:1-2). The Written Torah makes it very plain that Moses wrote all the words which he had heard on the mountain in the Written Torah (Exodus 24:3-4).
The Written Torah also makes it plain that no one can add any commandments to it or take away any commandments from it (Deuteronomy 4:1-2). The only commandments of the Father of Truth are those in the Written Torah (Deuteronomy 12:32).
The Oral Torah both adds commandments to those in the Written Torah and takes away commandments from those in the Written Torah (Mark 7:8-13).
So, the Oral Torah is a contradiction of the Written Torah. The Oral Torah cannot be a continuation of the Written Torah. Anyone who believes the Written Torah will reject the Oral Torah.
The Written Torah says, that the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) came upon the seventy elders at the bottom of the Mount Sinai and two other elders in the camp, and they all prophesied (Numbers 11:25-26). The Written Torah says, that Moses desired that the Spirit of Truth come upon all of the Children of Truth (those who disobey the Father of Truth because they do not love Him) and that they became all Prophets of Truth (Numbers 11:27-29).
The Written Torah says, that the Father of Truth would speak to Prophets of Truth after Moses in dreams and visions, but not in the same way that He spoke to Moses (Numbers 12:5-8).
The Written Torah says, that the Father of Truth would allow Prophets of Lies to rise up after Moses, who would perform signs and wonders in order to lead the people of Israel away from following the Law of Truth (Deuteronomy 13:1-4). The Written Torah says, that these Prophets of Lies were to be put to death for trying to lead the people of Israel away from following the Law of Truth (Deuteronomy 13:5).
The Written Torah says, that the Prophets of Lies would also speak in the name of the Father of Truth and they were to likewise die (Deuteronomy 18:20). The Written Torah says, the way to determine if a prophet speaking in the name of the Father of Truth is a Prophet of Lies, is when what they say does not come to pass (Deuteronomy 18:21-22).
So, the Prophets of Truth are commissioned by the Written Torah. According to the Written Torah, The Prophets of Truth would be raised up to turn the people of Israel back to the Law of Truth, and what they said would come to pass. The Prophets meet both of these qualification. The Prophets are a continuation of the Written Torah. Anyone who believes the Written Torah will accept the Prophets.
So, why would an observer of the Oral Torah, like the man I met in the Sukkah, be against the Prophets as a continuation of the Written Torah?
One reason for an observer of the Oral Torah being against the Prophets as a continuation of the Written Torah, is that the Prophets prophesied against those who observe the Oral Torah.
The Prophet of Truth Isaiah (Yesha'Yahu) prophesied against those who observed the Oral Torah, and his prophesies came to pass, as recorded in the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament).
Isaiah prophesied, that the people of Israel were to be given over to a deep sleep, where they would not be able to understand the words of the Prophets (Isaiah 29:10-12).
The teaching of the Oral Torah is the reason that the Father of Truth gave the people of Israel over to a deep sleep (Romans 11:7-8).
Isaiah prophesied, that it would be obeying the precepts of men in worshiping the Father of Truth, which would cause their hearts to be far from Him (Isaiah 29:13).
It is the Rabbis, who teach the commandments of men contained in the Oral Torah, which are contrary to the commandments of the Written Torah (Matthew 15:3-9).
Isaiah prophesied, that the wisdom of those wise in the Oral Torah would be destroyed, and the understanding of those made prudent by the Oral Torah would come to nothing (Isaiah 29:14).
The preaching of the cross as the means of salvation is what destroys the wisdom of those wise in the Oral Torah, and brings to nothing the understanding of those made prudent by the Oral Torah (1 Corinthians 1:18-21).
Isaiah prophesied, that the hidden agenda of those wise in the Oral Torah to mislead the people of Israel, could not be hidden from the Father of Truth, who made them (Isaiah 29:15-16).
The hidden agenda of those wise in the Oral Torah to mislead the people of Israel has not been hidden from the Father of Truth, who made them (Romans 9:20-22).
The Prophet of Truth Malachi prophesied against those who observed the Oral Torah, and his prophesies came to pass, as recorded in the Renewed Covenant.
Malachi prophesied, that a foreign nation would take away both the Feasts of Truth and the priests from the Temple, because the priests would not teach the people of Israel to keep the commandments of the Written Torah (Malachi 2:1-6).
The Temple was taken away when Jerusalem was destroyed and the people of Israel were scattered among many Gentile nations (Luke 21:20-24). The Romans did take away both the Feasts of Truth and the priests, when they destroyed the Temple and took away the priests of the Temple (John 11:46-48).
Malachi prophesied, that the priests would cause the people of Israel to stumble in keeping the commandments of the Written Torah by corrupting the worship of the Father of Truth in the Temple (Malachi 2:7-9).
The priests corrupted the worship of the Father of Truth in the Temple and caused the people of Israel to stumble in keeping the commandments of the Written Torah (Mark 11:15-18).
Malachi prophesied, that the Father of Truth would destroy the scholars, the masters, and the priests out of the land of Israel, who profaned the covenant codified in the Written Torah by marrying it with customs from idolatry (Malachi 2:10-12).
The scribes (scholars) and Pharisees, who called themselves masters (Rabbis), profaned the covenant codified in the Written Torah, by marrying the many commandments in the Written Torah with keeping customs from the idol worship of Babylon that are found in the the Oral Torah (Matthew 23:2-10). They were destroyed out of the land of Israel for doing this (Matthew 23:13-38).
(The customs from Babylon that the Rabbis have married to the Written Torah include how they teach people to keep the Feasts of Truth. They declare "Happy New Year" on Yom Teruah. They perform acts to make atonement without the required sacrifices on the feast without food - Yom Kippur. They have included instructions from Babylonian idolatry for celebrating Sukkot, instead of doing what the Father of Truth instructed when He said, "Let's go camping!". Most of the customs for rejoicing in Torah came from a ceremony where the Babylonians were married to their idols. They also made many commandments in the Oral Torah about what is on your head that came from Babylonian idolatry.)
Malachi prophesied, that the Father of Truth would no longer regard the offerings made in the Temple, despite their crying over the Altar, because of their profaning the Written Torah (Malachi 2:12-13).
The Father of Truth did not regard the offerings made in the Temple, despite the crying of the priests over the Altar, when the Temple was destroyed (Luke 21:5-6).
Another reason for an observer of the Oral Torah to be against the Prophets as a continuation of the Written Torah, is that the Prophets left no room for doubt about the identity of the Messiah of Israel.
The Written Torah said, that the Father of Israel would raise up from among the people of Israel a Prophet of Truth like unto Moses, who they must obey (Deuteronomy 18:15-19).
The Prophet of Truth Daniel prophesied about when the Messiah of Israel would die, and his prophesies came to pass, as recorded in the Renewed Covenant.
Daniel prophesied that the Messiah of Israel would die four hundred and eighty three years after the decree to rebuild Jerusalem was given for the sins of others, followed by Jerusalem and the Temple being destroyed (Daniel 9:25-26).
The Man of Truth died in the very month that the decree was given to rebuild Jerusalem four hundred and eighty three year after it was given (Mark 14:1). He did not die for his own sins, but for the sins of others (Luke 23:40-47).
Jerusalem and the Temple were completely destroyed afterwards (Luke 19:41-44).
The Prophet of Truth David prophesied about how the Messiah of Israel would die, and his prophesies came to pass, as recorded in the Renewed Covenant.
David prophesied that the Messiah of Israel would die by having his hands and feet pierced (Psalm 22:15-16).
The Man of Truth died by having his hands and feet pierced when he was crucified (John 19:31-33).
The Prophet of Truth David prophesied about how the Messiah of Israel would not remain in the grave, and his prophesies came to pass, as recorded in the Renewed Covenant.
David prophesied that the Messiah of Israel would not remain in the grave long enough for his body to suffer decay before he was raised back to life (Psalm 16:8-11).
The Man of Truth rose again on the third day before his body began to suffer decay (Acts 2:25-32).
So, the Written Torah told about the Messiah of Israel and the Prophets identified the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel. He is that Prophet of Truth, who people must obey (Acts 7:37).
So, the real question is: Do you believe the Written Torah?
If you believe the Written Torah, then you will also believe the Prophets of Truth, but reject the Oral Torah. If you believe the Written Torah and the Prophets of Truth, then you will believe that the Man of Truth is the Messiah of Israel.
If you will not believe the Written Torah and the Prophets of Truth, then you will not believe that the Man of Truth is the Messiah of Israel, even though he rose from the dead (Luke 16:31).
The Written Torah and the Prophets of Truth told you everything you need to know, to believe that the Man of Truth is the Messiah of Israel (Luke 24:25-27). The Written Torah and the Prophets of Truth foretold that the Messiah of Israel would suffer, die, and be raised from the dead to bring people into repentance, so they could obtain the forgiveness of sin, in the exact way that the Man of Truth did these things (Luke 24:44-47).
Whoever does not believe that the Man of Truth is the Messiah of Israel, does not believe the Written Torah, for the Written Torah gives testimony that the Man of Truth is the Messiah of Israel (John 5:45-47). The testimony gave by the actions of the Man of Truth is the same testimony given by the Written Torah and the Prophets of Truth to identify the Messiah of Israel (Acts 26:22-23).
Let the Written Torah and the Prophets of Truth persuade you to come into the House of Truth (Acts 28:23). Obey the Man of Truth, because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead, as foretold of the Messiah of Israel in the Written Torah (Romans 10:4-9).
Come into the House of Truth!
