Do you hate Torah

Do you hate Torah?  Are you willing to chance that I’m wrong?

Are you among those who will be snuffed like a flame should YHWH recompense those who hate Almighty?

Do you hate the priests? Do you hate the offerings? Do you hate that people die? Do you hate that there are rules for clean and unclean?  Do you define Torah by those additions that came after?  Do you allow others who have no authority in Torah to define Torah for you?  Do you love to hate those who are strictly adherent to Only Torah?

If so – you HATE TORAH!

If so – you HATE YHWH!

Scary stuff there. I’d fix that if I were you. (I’m going to fix some things myself!)

I know, I know – I’ve pissed you off. I’ve got you steaming and frothing and thinking of responses and none of them are nice.  What a surprise!

Let’s look at the facts, shall we?

Hate. It’s a strong word. It’s what YHWH used to characterize those who are not keeping the commandments of YHWH – those who do not love YHWH:

Ex 20: (5) thou shalt not bow down unto them, nor serve them; for I YHWH thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me; (6) and showing mercy unto the thousandth generation of them that love Me and keep My commandments.

YHWH states what will happen when the commands are not kept – those who hate you will be your rulers:

Lev 26: 17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies : they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

On the contrary, when all was well with the camp of the Hebrews, this was what Moses would say:

Num 10: (35) And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said: ‘Rise up, O YHWH, and let Thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate Thee flee before Thee.’ (36) And when it rested, he said: ‘Return, O YHWH, unto the ten thousands of the families of Israel.’

Interesting. Do your enemies flee before you? Or are they living among you, growing and multiplying and constantly fighting against you? Perhaps they are in charge of your laws, in charge of the land where you live, ruling over you?

So, how will you fare when the day comes? Do you hate Torah? Do you hate YHWH? Do you rebel against the hierarchy that has been eternally established, and therefore hate the priest? Do you commit abominations by hating to separate clean and unclean?

Ask yourself if you want to face this:

Deut 32: (36) For YHWH will judge His people, and repent Himself for His servants; when He seeth that their stay is gone, and there is none remaining, shut up or left at large. (37) And it is said: Where are their gods, the rock in whom they trusted; (38) Who did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink-offering? let him rise up and help you, let him be your protection. (39) See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no god with Me; I kill, and I make alive; I have wounded, and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out of My hand. (40) For I lift up My hand to heaven, and say: As I live for ever, (41) If I whet My glittering sword, and My hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to Mine adversaries, and will recompense them that hate Me.
