it all is that it happens to be something we continue to disregard as a whole (majority of

people). Let me explain. Since the beginning of time, as we have recorded in the Scriptures, man

has rebelled against an amazing, infinite, eternal, and incomprehensible Creator.1 Adam and Eve

did not listen to His Word. Cain did not listen to His Word. Solomon did not listen to His Word.

Jeroboam, Nadab, Baasha, Elah, Zimri, Omri, Ahab, Ahaziah, and the Pharisees did not listen;

they all were evil or disobeyed the Word of Hashem and bore the consequences of their sin.2

The people of the kingdoms have always received a human king or a leader that they, the

reading of Scripture is to use 1 John 3:4, “Everyone who keeps sinning is violating Torah — indeed, sin is violation

of Torah” (CJB). In the ESV, “Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is

lawlessness.”

looked great but was chasing after donkey’s. If you think about the analogy here, it is quite

interesting. The people wanted a king, but they got a donkey of a man. We do the same today

with leaders around the world. As countries (majority of people) grow further from Hashem and

His Word, the further Hashem pulls His hands and Word from the people. There is nothing new

under the sun (Ecc. 1:9).

true Word of Hashem, His divine revelation to man. For this course I want to dig into just what

of the hidden, unknown Hashem that shows or reveals Himself to humanity. This idea was

expressed in different ways. First in the verb הֶלJ ֶֶּ גJ (gaw-law') which is to “uncover” or “reveal.”

It is expressed less in the disclosing of a secret or mystery than in that of the manifestation of

Hashem, unknowable to man on his own.3 Some examples are walking in the garden with Adam

and Eve, then at the Ark with Noah, with Abraham at the Oaks of Mamre, the prophets in their

uncovering, unveiling, revealing, or revelation according to Strong’s concordance. In Thayer’s

Greek Lexicon, it is defined as properly a laying bare, making naked, a disclosure of truth,

Torahteachers (Scribes) from Jerusalem went to Yeshua to ask Him about eating with dirty

hands.5 They asked Yeshua why the talmidim (disciples) broke the traditions of the elders. And

Yeshua in Rabbinical fashion, answers with a question of His own, “Why do you break the

command of Hashem by your tradition?” (15:3).6 He then goes on to admonish them by stating,

“…by your tradition you make null and void the word of Hashem” (15:6). The book of Mark

records the same conversation. The point is that Yeshua Himself ties the commands and

statutes found in the Torah to being Hashem’s Words or divine revelation.

events in a two-fold way, viewing them either subjectively, as producing effects upon men, or

objectively, as revealing the power and wisdom of God.8

history, and the foundation (constitution) of the human being.9 The first, nature, bears witness

that there is a Creator in the heavens. Logic and science state that something cannot come from

no-thing. From the minute details in nature in all of creation to the largest of details we may

find, it is obvious there is an architect who designed it all from a common group of elements

that the majority of us consist of. Without even knowing what scientists believe they also say

the same thing. Ask any scientist and they will say we all come from star dust or the same

elements of the stars. But, if you have read and studied the first few verses of the Scriptures,

this? The answer is obviously, yes. We can look at historical records found around the globe and

see that they all match up with the Scriptures. Look to the ancient Chinese language and how it

came to be. Much of the book of Genesis is depicted in the Chinese characters.10 We can see the

flood narrative in over 200 cultures around the world.11 What about my favorite, the day the

earth stood still? Well, it didn’t really stand still or maybe it did, but in the book of Joshua, there

is a day known as “Joshuas long day.” It is recorded in Chinese accounts, many North American

Indian accounts and in the Central and South Americas native accounts. What is funny, is it was

also possibly found in multiple computers from the late 1970s and 80s findings of a missing day

that would oddly enough date to the time frame of Joshua.12

this moral gauge if you will. Shaul tell us we have this law, this Torah written on our hearts (Rom.

2:11-16) without even having ever read or heard it. Many studies show that human kind from

an early age knows the difference between right and wrong.13 It is something we are inherently

born with. We make moral judgments based on how our heart, mind, and soul react to

Revelation and Human Responsibility. The internal law or morality given to the unbelievers

performs much in the same way and function as the Torah and instructions in the Scriptures do

for the believer. From the revelation in nature according to Romans chapter one, people ought

to conclude that a powerful, eternal, creator, or unmoved mover (Aristotle) or the first cause

Hashem determined that His permanent witness should eventually come through the written

enduring, ever-present gift to us, His people, and one in which the Spirit brings us into union

with the Father and His Son Messiah Yeshua; it is this form that Hashem intends His people to

possess and live by for faith and practice.15

Scriptures explain to us our sin, guilt and depravity (Ro. 7:7). And showed us how to atone,

redeem, and reconcile our relationship with Hashem.16 If we are to be in right relationship with

Him and receive His wedding invitation, we must put on the clothes He has supplied for us (Mt.
