In this segment: Chadwick encourages believers to be the 'flame of the Shin' and let their light shine, connecting this to the fiery Torah being sent from Zion during the millennial kingdom. He emphasizes the importance of obeying and teaching Torah, citing Matthew 5:17-20, and criticizes Christianity for neglecting God's commands.

Transcript of this segment

During the millennial kingdom, the fiery Torah will be sent out from Zion and the Word from Jerusalem to all the nations. They can guard, keep, and do the wonderful ways of Yahweh, the original revelation of the Torah. Nonetheless, while we wait for His glorious and extraordinary time and season, may we be the flame of the Shin as we let our light shine before all men so that they may give thanks and praise to our Father in heaven. It is written, "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, or in the Hebrew, it says a menorah. And it gives light to all those who are in the house. So let your light shine, my friends, before men so that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven."

Interestingly, and not by coincidence, right after He commands us to be the light of the world, He continues to testify about the importance of obeying and teaching Torah. This is profound scripture for all of us to understand and receive, especially the scholars and the teachers. Matthew 5:17-20: "Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot and one tittle will by no means pass away from the Torah till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven."

Wow. Okay. So, let's look at this. This is one of the most powerful statements that Yeshua said. Do not think, don't even imagine. It says in some translations, "Don't even imagine, Christians, that He came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. Because why, my Christian friends, if He did, then He wouldn't be the Jewish Messiah. So, you can't have it both ways. He either is or He is not. And if He is, and He is the Jewish Messiah, then read what He says. Don't think that I came to destroy the Torah and the Prophets. Don't even imagine it. I did not come to destroy it, but to fulfill, because He is the Jewish Messiah. For assuredly I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away." When is that? That's after the millennial kingdom. That's why we've got to understand the prophetic timeline, because this is after the thousand years on earth when He sends out the Torah, what we just read in Isaiah 2. "For assuredly I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away," after the 10,000 years, okay, when a new heaven and a new earth comes, Revelation 21, Isaiah 65. "one jot or one tittle will by no means pass away from the Torah till all is fulfilled." Why would He say that? Because He has to fulfill every jot and tittle, or He would not be the Jewish Messiah. My Christian friends, we've got to really understand this. He wants us to obey His Father. And He has to fulfill everything. Every jot, every in the Hebrew is every yod. Every small thing and every large thing is what I'm trying to say. He's going to fulfill everything. And it has to be established on this earth, because 1 Corinthians 15, again, my Christian friends, the Apostle Paul will tell you that He's going to hand the keys to the Father perfectly, and then all will be all one, and all of us will be gathered together. But He has to put everything fulfilled on this earth and overcome death, all of these things, put death under His feet, all of these things that Paul says. But if we don't understand what He's saying, then we're going to say, "Okay, we've got the grace to break, you know, the commandments of God." No one has the right, no one has that grace to break the commandments of God every single week and year of their life. They just do not. They do not have that grace to do that. They're worshiping a different religion than the Holy Bible. That is really clear if one understands what the Torah, the Prophets, the Psalms, and the Gospels say, and also the New Testament writings.

So again, my friends, we'll go through it one more time. "Do not think, do not imagine that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets," or He wouldn't have been the Jewish Messiah. "I did not come to destroy but to fulfill." Amen. "For assuredly I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away." When is that? After the thousand-year reign, "one jot and one tittle will by no means pass from the Torah till all," not some, not many, not few, "all is fulfilled." He's got to establish all of the Torah on the face of the earth, or again, He wouldn't be the Jewish Messiah. "Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches men to do so shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." All of you. "For I say to you that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means inherit the kingdom of heaven."

My friends, He leaves no bones about it. Okay, I know some people out there are like, you know what, I'll just be least in the kingdom. Okay, well, go read the last verse of that because He clarifies it. Very important. He says, "For I say unto you that unless all of us are more righteous, exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and the Pharisees, we will not enter the kingdom of heaven." What does that mean? That means oral traditions, doing your own thing, worshiping a different way, different garments on, all of these things that He warns about. So my Christian friends need to really go visit Matthew 5:17-20 and go get on their knees and their faces and pray to Yahweh about this, because this is very serious. Very serious. I mean, just take His words for it. Don't take my words. Take His words. But we've got to understand what He's talking about. "Do not think, don't imagine He's coming to get rid of any of this, because it would have eliminated Him from being the Jewish Messiah if He did." And that's why when the Jewish people look at Christianity, they're like, "No way." Because look at what the Christians are doing. So Paul tells us to provoke them to jealousy in Romans 11. Provoke them to jealousy. Christianity is not provoking the Jewish people to jealousy. They're not provoking me to jealousy either, because I've come out of Christianity to follow Jesus. I mean, I know that might be weird for people, but yes, I came out of Christianity. I don't worship under Christianity to follow Jesus. Think about that. How weird that seems, right? I came out of Christianity to follow Jesus. Most people are like, "What? What are you talking about?" Because they have no idea what Christianity is teaching is false theology, false eschatology. False. That's why they have no clue what's going on because they don't have the calendar. They don't have the days, the feast days. They don't understand the covenants. And if they do, it's a replacement, you know, all of these things, then they're off. And again, God knows best. You know, God can save anybody. And that's up to Him. But I'm just teaching you, telling you about this scripture here. And it says what it says, that we've got to be more righteous than the scribes and the Pharisees. What were they doing? Well, go read Matthew 23. That's what they were doing: teaching oral traditions, burdens, you know, do it our way, not God's way. Do it our way. That's why Messiah said in Matthew 23, the very first verse, please, my Christian friends, go read what your Savior said again in Matthew 23. "When they sit in Moses' seat," the Jewish people, "listen to them and do everything that they tell you to," is what He said. When they teach you Torah from Moses' seat, but when they don't, don't listen to them. The oral traditions, the Talmud, all this stuff that they do. No. Well, if He said that to the Jewish people, He's telling you that to the Christians, the Christian leaders as well, teaching you a false theology and all these things, oral traditions, because guess what? Matthew 23, He continues forward. "Hypocrites, serpents, vipers," is what He called them. The leaders of Israel, the religious leaders of Israel, He called them serpents and vipers about seven times. Tombs, all these beautiful words, right? But that's what He called them. John the Baptist, what did he say? John the Immerser, what did he say? "Serpent of vipers, who warned you of the wrath of God?" Talking about the religious leaders. So, the religious leaders of Israel and the Christians are out of alignment. And that's why they need to understand what the Savior said in Matthew 5:17-20 because they're going to be in great judgment for leading, for shepherding the people a false way. And the prophets go through that as well. Jeremiah 23 goes through that. Zechariah goes through that. All these false leaders out there, the leaders of the Jewish people and the leaders of the Christians, they're false. Every one of them false because they're not teaching you the true ways of God. They're just not. And that is the fact on this channel. Both parties are out of alignment. That's pretty obvious. The Jewish people don't know Yeshua. The Christians don't know Torah. No commandments. Both of them are false. The proper understanding would be what Yeshua says here: "Do not think that He came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets." That means to obey, or it's not going to be good. And then that's what He says in the last verse, in verse 20 as well. So again, the Pharisees and the scribes, they're both parties these days. Back then it was just for the Jewish people, but now it's for the Christians as well. Both parties are the scribes and the Pharisees, in my personal opinion. When you look at the theology of Judaism, you look at the theology of Christianity, scribes and Pharisees. So my friends, don't fall for the leaven of the scribes and the Pharisees of both parties, Jews and Christians, both parties. The leadership, I'm talking about the leaders who are teaching falsely about these things, because go read Jeremiah 23 and what he says to them. Go say, go read that and what he says to them. So again, it's better not to even talk about these things if we're going to teach the wrong way. And that includes myself as well. You know, I've got to make sure I'm teaching the right way. And I pray to God that I do. But it's very consistent throughout the Holy Bible. You've got to follow God's commandments. Those who love God and keep His commandments. Goodness. Go read the Ten Commandments. It says that. Go read the book of Revelation. It says that from the beginning to the end, all throughout, those who love God and keep His commandments. It's not just "love God." Everybody loves God. Who's keeping His commandments? Everybody loves Jesus. Who's keeping His commandments? Because that is the prerequisite of Him knowing that we love Him. John 14:15: "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." Goodness gracious, how simple. John 14:15. I mean, how simple of a sentence is that? My Christian friends, "If you love Me, you'll keep My commandments." And if you don't keep My commandments, you don't. Okay? I mean, that's just the bottom line. I mean, let's just be really clear here. That's what He says. Please go read it. John 14 and 15. "If, if" is a big word. It's kind of like the Mosaic covenant. If you do good to Israel, if you obey, you can stay. And if you don't, you will not. Yeshua, "If you love Me, you'll keep My commandments." And if you don't keep them, you don't. Very similar, right? Moses and Yeshua are BFFs, everybody. Please understand that. And they're going to say the same thing. And that is the new covenant. "If you love Me, you'll keep My commandments." That's part of the new covenant, everybody. Very important. Matthew 5:17 through 20.

May our righteousness exceed the righteousness of the scribes and the Pharisees who taught traditions of man. Yeshua said in Mark 7 that you worship traditions of man and neglect His Father's commands. Go read what Messiah said in Mark 7 about oral traditions and traditions of men. Let us receive the beautiful ways of Torah as we purify, cleanse, and refine ourselves in the notion of setting ourselves apart to Him, so that we can be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
