Revealing the Torah of Mashiach

Maran Yeshua Melech HaMashiach (King Messiah) taught that the Torah given to Bnei Yisrael (children of Israel) would not be changed until the heavens and the earth passed away. We know that Melech HaMashiach commissioned His emissaries to teach both Jewish and Gerim (non-Jews who join Israel through emuna / faith in Mashiach) everything that He had taught His emissaries, which of course was Torah!
Mashiach commanded us to teach Torah in Mattityahu 5:17-19 saying: Do not think that I have come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them). I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter (a Yod), not the least stroke of a pen (Tagin: decorative ornaments to the Hebrew letters of the Torah), will by any means disappear from the Torah until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments (from the Torah) and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Rabbeinu (our Teacher) then takes it even further, and issues a warning to anyone who "breaks" any of the Torah, or teaches anyone to do the same. Hence, Mashiach is teaching that His work in no way diminishes the authority or continuation of the Torah. Judaism teaching regarding Messiah to this day is that He will come and teach His people the deeper points of the Torah. Yeshua the Messiah (from Nazareth) does just this in the remaining verses of chapter five (provided that we remember that He is a Torah observant Rabbi). King Messiah makes fuller the understanding of His emissaries concerning the Torah and Prophets, so they can more fully express what being God’s people is all about.
He begins speaking in Mattityahu (Matthew) 5:21-7:24 with the expression, "You have heard it said." This He does both to draw His audience’s attention to a specific point, as well as to make a distinction between His opinion on a matter of Torah and any others.
Also did you notice that Yeshua the Messiah said that no part of the Torah would disappear "by any means". This means that we need to understand Rabbeinu from that proper perspective! Melech HaMashiach did not give His emissaries a separate curriculum for teaching Jewish people and another one for those who were not born Jewish, but join Israel. Everything that Yeshua Melech HaMashiach had taught His emissaries was to be taught to all non-Jews who were to join Israel. When Yeshua HaMashiach taught His emissaries, "Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same… whoever practices and teaches these commands…", He gave no indication that the words "Anyone", "others", and "whoever" referred only to born Jewish people. Yeshua Melech HaMashiach expected His emissaries to pass that same teaching on to the non-Jews who would hold to the Tzitzit (ritual fringes) of Mashiach, including the command, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Torah." Although there would have been a few non-Jews present in the crowd while Yeshua Melech HaMashiach was preaching, He never said, "This teaching applies only to natural born Jewish people."
Rabbeinu, Yeshua was a Perush (Pharisee) and teacher of the Torah. Over the last two thousand years there has been much controversy over His teachings and even His actual existence. Too often the words of Yeshua HaMashiach are studied and interpreted through western philosophy rather than from an eastern Jewish philosophy. We need to forget (let go) the westernize idea of the non-Jewish Messiah, but to get back to the real Yeshua HaMashiach, we need to get back to the Israeli Jewish Torah teacher that He is (a true Torah Sage).
When Mashiach is fully revealed, he will teach us Torah from inside the Har HaBayit (Temple) in Jerusalem (may it happen soon in our days. Amen)
