I love movies because they allow me to pause from the chaos of this world and just think and reflect for a few moments...reminding me of the way I want to live on this earth.
But I love reading the Bible, because it allows me to transcend this world...reminding me of the way I want to live for eternity.
I want to quote the following words of historical Ribi Yehoshua ha-Mashiakh (the Messiah) from Nazareth, that touches on eternity.
ReplyDelete"I didn't come to subtract from the Torâh of Moshëh or the Neviim, nor to add onto the Torah of Moshëh did I come. Because, rather, I came to [bring about the] complete [i.e., non-selective] observance of them in truth.
Should the heavens and ha-Aretz exchange places, still, not even one י or one of the Halâkhâh of the Torah of Mosheh shall so much as exchange places; toward the time when it becomes that they are all being performed -- i.e., non- selectively -- in full.
For whoever deletes one [point of] the Halâkhâh of these mitzwot from Torah, or shall teach others such, [by those in] the Realm of the heavens he shall be called 'deleted.' And whoever ratifies and teaches them shall be called ' Ribi' in the Realm of the heavens.
