The implicit message of Moses Law isn't the nation of Israel. Neither is it the gentile nations of the World.
Torah's implicit message isn't the land of Israel, the city of Jerusalem, nor is it the Sacred temple. In fact it is
neither the figure of Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Jesus,
Muhammad, nor any other prophet (peace and blessing
be upon them all).
Torah's implicit message, is the logical [but revolutionary] idea that, the Law of “measure by measure” (also
known as the law of “sowing and reaping”, “cause and effect”, or “action and reaction”), isn't limited to
agrarian and/or physical objects; rather, it's scope includes non physical things [like morality, consciousness,
soul, and faith].
This Law of “measure for measure” states that we ought to stop doing evil, in order to start doing what is
good. Why? Because the universe in which we exist is in itself subservient to the Divine law of “measure for
measure”. Thus, sooner or later the universe will have no other option but to force us to “reap” the same
goodness [or evil] we have “sowed”. And this will in turn be the manifestation of God's perfect judgment
upon our lives- to give us the same blessings (or curses) we have freely chosen to sow upon our fellow
human beings.
And the Torah confirms the claim that Divine justice will force us to “reap” the same [moral]
fruit that, thru
our “works” [or “actions”], we have “sowed. When? When it goes on to say: “Therefore hearken unto me, ye
men of wisdom, GOD FORBID THAT WICKEDNESS SHOULD BE IN GOD, and iniquity in the Almighty.
FOR HE WILL RENDER UNTO MAN ACCORDING TO HIS WORK, AND CAUSE EVERYONE TO
FIND ACCORDING TO HIS WAY. And certainly God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty
pervert judgment”- Job 34: 10-12 (Geneva Bible, 1599).
And it also says in another place: “... FOR THOU [OH LORD] REWARDEST EVERYONE ACCORDING
TO HIS WORK”- Psalm 62:12 (Geneva Bible, 1599); And further on: “If you [profess ignorance and] say,
Behold, we did not know this, does not He Who weighs and ponders the heart perceive and consider it? And
He Who
guards your life, does not He know it? And SHALL NOT HE RENDER TO [YOU AND] EVERY
MAN ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS?- Proverbs 24:12 (Amplified Bible, Classic edition).
And the prophet also agrees with the former, when he goes on to say: “... MY CHOSEN WILL ENJOY THE
WORK OF HIS HANDS' (Isaiah 65:22). Finally, it says the following: “For many nations,
and great kings
shall even serve themselves of them: THUS WILL I RECOMPENSE THEM ACCORDING TO THEIR
DEEDS, AND ACCORDING TO THE WORKS OF THEIR OWN HANDS”- Jeremiah 25:14 (Geneva
Bible, 1599).
Thus, it makes plain sense to think that, the well-being of each man rests upon his [or her] willingness to
repent of his wickedness, thereby turning away from his evil behavior, in order to
start doing the good works
that please the Creator [in other words, obeying the Ten commandments of the Divine Law]. As it is written,
“DEPART FROM EVIL AND DO GOOD; AND YOU WILL DWELL FOREVER [SECURELY]”- Psalm
37:27 (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition).
Or as it says elsewhere: «All has been heard; THE END OF THE MATTER IS: “FEAR GOD [REVERE
AND WORSHIP HIM, KNOWING THAT HE IS] AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, FOR THIS IS
THE WHOLE OF MAN [THE FULL, ORIGINAL PURPOSE OF HIS CREATION, THE OBJECT OF
GOD’S PROVIDENCE, THE ROOT OF CHARACTER, THE FOUNDATION OF ALL HAPPINESS, THE
ADJUSTMENT TO ALL INHARMONIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES AND CONDITIONS UNDER THE
SUN] AND THE WHOLE [DUTY] FOR EVERY MAN.
FOR GOD SHALL BRING EVERY WORK INTO JUDGMENT, with every secret thing, whether it is good
or evil”»- Ecclesiastes 12: 13-14 (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition).
And even the Christian writings attest to the fact that God's righteous judgment consists in
rewarding each
771
person according to the good [or evil] he [or she] has performed. As it is written: “And the sea gave up her
dead, which were in her, and death and hell delivered up the dead, which were in them: AND THEY WERE
JUDGED EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS”- Revelation 20:13 (Geneva Bible, 1599).
And the New Testament also says in another place: “BUT THOU, AFTER THINE HARDNESS, AND
HEART THAT CANNOT REPENT, HEAPEST UP AS A TREASURE UNTO THYSELF WRATH
AGAINST THE DAY OF WRATH, AND OF THE DECLARATION OF THE JUST JUDGMENT OF GOD,
WHO WILL REWARD EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS: THAT IS, TO THEM WHICH
THROUGH PATIENCE IN WELL DOING, SEEK GLORY, AND HONOR, AND IMMORTALITY,
EVERLASTING LIFE... TRIBULATION AND ANGUISH SHALL BE UPON THE SOUL OF EVERY
MAN THAT DOETH EVIL: OF THE JEW FIRST, AND ALSO OF THE GRECIAN. BUT TO EVERY
MAN THAT DOETH GOOD,
SHALL BE GLORY, AND HONOR, AND PEACE: TO THE JEW FIRST,
AND ALSO TO THE GRECIAN”- Romans 2: 5-7, & 9-10 (Geneva Bible, 1599).
Thus, when any person [or any thing], stirs our hearts, so that our reply is to turn away from our rebellious
obstinacy [in order to start obeying God's commandments], such person [or such thing] has immediately
become the promised Redeemer (or Messiah)- He who has come to save us.
As it has been promised in the verse that goes on to says: “And THE REDEEMER SHALL COME UNTO
ZION (UNTO WHOM SHALL THE REDEEMER COME?).... UNTO THEM THAT TURN [AWAY]
FROM INIQUITY IN JACOB, saith the Lord” - Isaiah 59:20 (Geneva Bible, 1599).
Again, the fact that the road to everlasting Life is to be found in the performance of
the good ordained by
God upon the two stone tablets, is such a paramount and undeniable truth, that both the Holy Gospel, as well
as the Noble Qur'an, confirms it. As it is written:
“And he [Jesus] said unto him, Why called thou me good? there is none good but one, even God: BUT IF
THOU WILT ENTER INTO [EVERLASTING] LIFE, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS.... THOU SHALT
NOT KILL: THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY: THOU SHALT NOT STEAL: THOU SHALT
NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS.
HONOR THY FATHER, AND MOTHER: AND, THOU SHALT LOVE
THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF”- Matthew 19: 17-19 (Geneva Bible, 1599);
And also says in another Scripture: “Allah (GOD) HAS PROMISED THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND WORK
RIGHTEOUSNESS: THEY WILL HAVE FORGIVENESS AND A GREAT REWARD [IN THE WORLD
TO COME]''- Qur'an, Surah 5:9.
