One of the difficulties that Christians who deny that the Torah has any part in the New Covenant faith of Yah'shua (Jesus) is the numerous (as yet) unfulfilled prophecies about the coming Millennium. Look at any Bible which marks unfulfilled Scripture and you will see scattered throughout them references to the Torah or Law of Yahweh being sent out to all the nations of the world. This never fully happened in Old Testament or New Testament times. And whilst 9 out of 10 of the Ten Commandments became the foundation of most Christian nations, never has a nation apart from Israel herself actually implemented the whole Torah. One such prophecy is to be found in the Book of the Prophet Micah where we read:
"And in the latter days it shall be that the mountain of YHWH is established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills. And peoples shall flow to it. And many nations shall come and say, 'Come, and let us go up to the mountain of YHWH, to the House of the Elohim (God) of Ya'aqob (Jacob), and let Him teach is His ways, and let us walk in His paths. For out of Tsiyon (Zion) comes froth the Torah (Law), and the Word of YHWH from Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)'" (Mikah/Micah 4:1-2, ISRV).
These unfulfilled scriptures prove, amongst other things, that the Messianic Community or Church isn't going to whisked away from the earth to 'heaven' when Yah'shua (Jesus) returns but will, as testified in the New Testament, meet Him in the sky as He returns and then return with Him back to earth to establish the 1,000 year Reign of the Messiah (Acts 1:10-11; etc.). The Law (Torah) will be sent out of Zion and the Word of Yahweh from Jerusalem - literally. If the Torah has been done away with, as lawless Christians claim, why then would it be sent out from Jerusalem during the Millennium?
There needs to be a repentance from lawlessness (which is one of the names of Satan - 2 Thes.2:8-9). Lot was tormented by his lawless friends (2 Pet.2:7-8) and we are warned of the loss of our salvation if we refuse to responf obediently:
"Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless (Torahless) men and fall from your secure position. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Yah'shua the Messiah. To Him be glory both now and forever! Amen" (2 Peter 3:17-18, NIV).
The danger here is not small. If, having been saved, we refuse to obey Torah, we run the very real risk of "falling from our secure position". That's right, our eternal security, which the "once saved, always saved" people say you can never fall from. It is only as we respond in obedience that we can "grow in grace and knowledge" in Yah'shua.
If the Torah is going to be sent out to the nations from Jerusalem during the Millennium then it is a pretty safe bet that this will be a continuation of the sending out of Yahweh's Word to us as individuals and as congregations of that same Torah. Let us no longer endanger our secure position.
