And the Truth is...
This is an emphatic statement that often precludes a declaration made by those attempting to press their view or perspective on others. This world, as we all know, is full of individuals, institutions, and organizations that are attempting to have their voice heard by making categorical proclamations of truth. FFOZ is not blameless in this appeal for the ear of humanity as we attempt to share to the importance of, the need for, and the significant role that the Torah has in our collective lives. The Torah has been denigrated, devalued, maligned, and completely ignored by many that proudly declare a connection to the God of Israel and the Messiah of Israel Yeshua. However, our Father has some “Truth” statements of His own that I would like to present to you in this brief letter. Yeshua testified that the Torah is truth in John 17:17. He stated, “Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.” The Psalmist declares,
Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And Your Torah is truth. –Psalm 119:142
You are near, Adonai, and all Your commandments are truth. –Psalm 119:151
The sum of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous ordinances is everlasting. –Psalm 119:160
Yes, the Torah is truth and is the historic and prophetic voice of Adonai that testifies of Yeshua and proclaims Him as Messiah that witnesses to and proclaims to the world. The Torah teaches about the Messiah Yeshua and the requirement of righteousness . He makes and makes known the call need for justice and holiness. In it the Father emphasizes the importance of revering, searching, and listening to the written Word and appreciating the beauty of the Holy Scriptures. The Torah instructs us about the value of creation and the enjoyment of life; the celebration of time in the experience of the weekly Shabbat; and the establishment and maintenance of His covenant people Israel.
