Finding Messiah in Triennial Yasa Moshe
Messiah continues to leap out from the pages of Exodus.
And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore the name of it was called Marah. And the people murmured against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” And he cried unto YHVH; and YHVH showed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet. Exo 15:23-25
The Hebrew word for “tree” is Strong’s H6086, a tree, wood, plank, or gallows. The same word is used in the Torah command which Paul quotes in Gal 3:13,
Cursed is everyone that hangs on a tree; from Deu 21:23
The tree is the cross, which turns our bitterness into sweetness.
As well, in Exodus 16, YHVH teaches Israel Sabbath rest with bread from heaven; remember that Sabbath rest is the first teacher of the Gospel of grace from Torah.
Yeshua answered and said unto them, “This is the work of God, that you believe on Him whom He has sent.” They said therefore unto Him, “What sign do You show us then, that we may see, and believe You? What work will You do? Our fathers ate manna in the desert; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” Then Yeshua said unto them, “Truly, truly, I say unto you, Moses did not give you that bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven, and gives life unto the world.” Then said they unto Him, “Lord, give us this bread evermore.” And Yeshua said unto them, “I am the bread of life: he that comes to Me shall never hunger; and he that believes on Me shall never thirst. But I said unto you, that you also have seen Me, and believe not. All who the Father gives Me shall come to Me; and he that comes to Me I will in no way cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. And this is the Father’s will who has sent Me, that of all who He has given Me, I should lose nothing, but should raise them up again at the last day. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on Him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” Joh 6:29-40
