Unlocking Galatians Hebraically – Part 3
Torah to the Tribes - A podcast by Matthew Nolan - Sundays

The Book of the Covenant was accepted by faith (Exodus 19:5) and later broken at the Golden Calf (Exodus 32). The Book of the Law was thus imposed, and became a tutor keeping Israel under guard until the time of reformation when the seed would come and set the people free from the Book of the Law to enter a New Covenant given as Torah – Book of the Covenant Torah paid for by his blood thus reconnecting us back to the covenants of promise from which we had been aliens and strangers – a return to the Melchizedek book of the covenant of promise! Galatians 3:1 O foolish Galutyah, who has put you under a spell, that you should not obey the emet, since gauvh ha Moshiach has been clearly set forth, before your eyes as impaled among you? Messiah clearly establishes covenant boundaries by his blood ratification which you are witnesses of in your community as He’s in your midst. Galatians 3:2 This only would I learn from you: Did you receive the Ruach Hakodesh by the works of law, or by your obedience 15 to emunah? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun your halacha in the Ruach Hakodesh, are you now made perfect by the flesh? It wasn’t the Book of the Law/works of the law that brought the Ruach Ha Kodesh – “the law is not of faith.” It was the ‘faith’ ‘pistes’ which came by ‘hearing’ the message of Yahusha, his blood and establishment of covenant entry by faith – just like Abraham, connecting back to Abraham that brought the Ruach Ha Kodesh. Are you now so foolish that you’re now going to depart from covenant and go get circumcised according to a Book of a Law/works of law halacha-misguided interpretation of community inclusion? Galatians 3:4 Have you suffered so many things for nothing? If it is yet for nothing. Galatians 3:5 He that supplies you with the Ruach Hakodesh, and works great nisim among you, does He do it by the works of law, or by your hearing and emunah? By hearing and faith you accept Yahusha’s blood ratification that then brings you into the safety of covenant Torah where you’re supplied with the Ruach Ha Kodesh and healing signs among you! This can’t happen by observing the Book of the Law because you’re still out of covenant and just following the halacha of the community that still adheres to it – works of law-BoL, not understanding Yahusha’s redemptive work. Galatians 3:6 Even as Avraham believed vuvh, and it was counted to him for tzedakah. Galatians 3:7 Know therefore that those who are of the emunah, the same are b’nai Avraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that vuvh would justify the heathen through emunah, proclaimed before the Besorah to Avraham, saying, In you shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they that are of emunah are blessed with faithful believing Avraham. The gospel defined, quoting Genesis 12.3 – the gospel is embedded in Abraham before the Levitical priesthood, before the book of the law. The gospel is embedded with Abraham in Genesis 12. & Genesis 15 connecting to the Melchizedek covenants; which brings about a blessing to the nations, welcoming them into the covenant that Yahusha’a blood established based upon faith, not works of the book of the law, which was their community halacha interpreted through the lens of the Book of the law void of blood covenant. They had forgotten the example of Avraham. Galatians 3:10 For as many as are followers of the works of law are under the curse: 6 for it is written, Cursed is every one that continues not in all things that are written in the book of the law to do them. Notice that the works of the law and the blessing of Abraham (by Covenant) i.e. ‘the promise’ are a dichotomy … a contradiction in terms … are not the same. Yet Covenant Righteousness has never come through the enactment of damage control cleanup laws governing animal sacrifice stipulations offered to expunge the direct or collateral guilt and aftermath of Covenant Breaking. The context identifies what the ‘works of the law’ are – it’s the community halacha connected to the BoL that i
