This is about another insight which gives more understanding about the Written Torah and Your Life’s results.
This started from a text message from someone I love and care, though they are not with me. The message was, “I think people are going to beat god to the punch”. Referring to the planned total destruction of life on this planet by people on this planet.
That set me to thinking about the Written Torah, which spread to the Whole Tanakh. Comparing from our start on this world until now. Humans and our actions.
In starting to address that message. I pointed out that THE ALMIGHTY does not have to punish anyone, for the world to degrade into nothingness from the point of human perception.
There is the idea that everything starts in an ordered manner, like a piece of iron, forged and beaten into a gate for the fence. That gate is made of ordered molecules, designed and formed in to a useful gate. Entropy, is the breakdown of something over time in to a non-functional deformed mass. Like the gate will in time become a pile of rust, not a useful gate anymore.
What does this have to do with mankind and the Written TORAH and the end of this world?
Let’s take it a little slower, for at this speed, we miss much that is simple and yet very important.
We should start near the beginning of all of this. Adam and Eve had a great place, the Garden of Eden; they were young and healthy; all the food they could want; warm and comfortable they were. First they lost their place by being removed from the Garden for disobeying the only rule. Now they had to work to get their own food; clothing; shelter and now to have children for help; and support. Then to create the families of the earth. It could still be a very good life. Not the Garden type, but a very good life.
There were no rules to guide them on how to treat each other. They were simply to do unto others as you would have them do to you. They did have the example of how the ALMIGHTY treated them, for they even spoke to the LORD themselves. Still they ignored what they knew was good. They did everything they could imagine to others, without the thought of consequences or outcome for their actions. They did increase in number and increased in the ways they harmed one another. So much so that the CREATOR needed to put a stop to this and clean out the DECAY left behind. This was done with a FLOOD to cover the total Earth save for some animals and a father, his three sons and their wives. All else was cleansed from the earth.
The returning family and animals were given a couple of rules this time about how to treat each other. The command: “Genesis 9:7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; swarm in the earth, and multiply therein.’”. They were also given a promise by the CREATOR not to destroy the Earth in the same way again. Actually is says: Genesis 9:11 And I will establish My covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.’
Also Genesis 8:21 And the LORD smelled the sweet savour; and the LORD said in His heart: ‘I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. ( So, does leave a lot of possible way to destroy the Earth. p.s. Genesis 8 includes a Covenant with the Earth also, giving an hint of the END. Just pointing this out.)
Just like the last time, the people did not do as instructed, but rebelled. They even went so far as to build a tower in rebellion, “Genesis 11:4 And they said: ‘Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, with its top in heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.’”. Their language was confused by the ALMIGHTY and the did spread out. The tower was called Babel, from “Genesis 11:9 Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth; and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.”.
From these two sections of rebellion we can understand that little or no wisdom about how to live in peace and harmony comes from our flesh and bone. Because of our nature of our dirt, the ALMIGHTY did choose an old man and an old woman to create the family which would be the example to the whole world of how to implement the Rules and Covenants that were to come. (Note: We were created with the ability to BE GOOD, but we must choose what we will do.)
As a reference of what was; what should be; how to get there; why we should do go there; these become the reasons Moses writes down what the LORD says, called the Written Torah or Five Books of Moses which are the First Five Books in the Tanakh or others call Old Testament. There in, is the instructions for a GOOD life and the consequence of evil is death. This has been viewed as laws and punishments by many people. This is the same rebellious view and attitude that created the events shown above.
If it is not Laws and Punishments, then what is it? And why should we care?
They are the instructions from the Creator, about how to have a GOOD. LONG LIFE in this world that is HIS Garden, and the consequences of doing other than what was HE Instructed.
THE ALMIGHTY does not need nor want to punish us. When we follow HIS instructions, and act as HIS Children, which HE Created and cares for, so by HIS Actions: HE blesses us and wants us to Enjoy a GOOD LONG LIFE, protects us and desires to be among HIS Children. “Ezekiel 18:23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD; and not rather that he should return from his ways, and live?”
However, we must choose which direction we will go. Because we must choose, most of us will find some reason to not do the good as instructed, but to follow others; or our flesh, thoughts and so act in a manner that causes our own destruction, while blaming everyone else for our own actions. Acting in this way we are destroying the lives and future of our family, friends and communities and even nations. This bad behavior is the Entropy of the Earth, more than anything else. It is the Living GOD OF JACOB that will clean the Heavens and the Earth, then create a New Heavens and New Earth for the children that learned to live according to the Instructions found in those Writing of Moses.
How can I become one of HIS Children?
Put most simply, Stop doing that which is Evil and do that which is Right.
A longer version which demonstrates how this works is:
“Ezekiel 18:26 When the righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall die therefor; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
27 Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.””.
So what is “lawful and right”?
All of that is found in the Writings of Moses. In case you are worried that something is hidden from you there, and so there might be some special rule or action you must take, that somebody must show you. Moses answers that also.
“Deuteronomy 30:10 if thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this book of the law; if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.
11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not too hard for thee, neither is it far off.
12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say: ‘Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?’
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say: ‘Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?
14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil,
16 in that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances. . . .”
There is something else that makes a man, the inheritance of the ALMIGHTY.
In conclussion, all of human history demonstrates, when we do not or will not apply the Rules, Laws, and Covenants which the LORD GOD ALMGHTY has made available to each of us. The consequence then of each bad choice, creates problems that we may outrun for awhile, but they always catch us. The LORD does not need to do anything to punish us, only not Save US from our results. We create our own punishments and suffering, by our actions. But you can change what is coming. You can do what is right according to HIS LAWS and Teachings, which will not long save this world, but will save you for the next.
Not save this world? No, for this world is already on a path so vile as to make the time of Noah and the flood seem tame. And we carry our evil even to the heavens.
Don’t believe me? Look around the World of 2022, the world itself is nice and has the Creators Glory, but almost all the people are anything but a glory, with a great many being like a curse.
You can still change your life and your outcome. The CREATOR, GOD ALMIGHTY is ready for you. [In case you don’t know the Living GOD of Jacob: Exodus 34:6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed: ‘The LORD, the LORD, God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth; 7 keeping mercy unto the thousandth generation, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin; and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and unto the fourth generation.’
We are not able to See HIM directly and live. We are shown HIS Works by where HE has been, by looking around us and looking back at our personal histories we can see. What we do has more impact than what we say.]
You must chose, but chose wisely. If you do not know enough to chose, seek, get help, but don’t wait. Time is all but gone. The Last Day is within the life time of most of those alive now.
My prayer is that The LORD grant you eyes that see, ears that hear and an understanding heart, then you return unto HIM soon! (Isaiah 6: 9 And He said: ‘Go, and tell this people: hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they, seeing with their eyes, and hearing with their ears, and understanding with their heart, return, and be healed.’)
