Vol. 65 Day 19 7/19/14 Dear Son and Daughter, Yesterday, we were looking at the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden as the Torah. We also see from Scripture that the Torah, the Tree of Life, will be given in the future for the healing of the nations. Isaiah 2:2-3 Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORDs house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow to it. Many people shall come and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. Revelation 22:1-2 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. From Scripture we learn that the Children of Israel become a Nation at Mount Sinai. Yahweh called Moses on behalf of the covenant that He made with Abraham to deliver the children of Israel from the bondage of the Egyptians. Genesis 15:1-5 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward. But Abram said, Lord GOD, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus? Then Abram said, Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed one born in my house is my heir! And behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir. Then He brought him outside and said, Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them. And He said to him, So shall your descendants be. Genesis 15:13-14 Then He said to Abram: Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years. And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with great possessions. Genesis 15:18 On the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates— Exodus 2:23-25 Now it happened in the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage. So God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God acknowledged them. Exodus 3:15-17 Moreover God said to Moses, Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations. Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, I have surely visited you and seen what is done to you in Egypt; and I have said I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey. So we see that, since the Torah of Yahweh has existed from the beginning of time, and because the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden was the Torah, and because Abraham kept the Torah of God (Genesis 26:5), the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai to the children of Israel was not a separate covenant from the covenant that Yahweh made with Abraham. The Torah was a fulfillment of Yahweh’s promise to Abraham that his descendants would fulfill the covenant that Yahweh made with Abraham. So, in light of this truth, we see that the significance of the giving of Yahweh’s Torah to the children of Israel at Mount Sinai was that the covenant that Yahweh made with Abraham, would be extended to the descendants of Abraham, and they would become a Holy Nation unto Yahweh! Never before in history did Yahweh make a covenant with a specific Nation of people. Love, Mom Weekly Reading: Numbers 33:1-36:13; Jeremiah 2:4-28; 4:1-2; Hebrews 10-11
