To the Law and To The Testimony

bYMichael Heiss - 02/06/2025

In this insightful video, Mr. Michael Heiss takes us on a deep dive into the true linguistic and spiritual meaning of the "Law." Rather than viewing it as a rigid set of rules, Mr. Heiss explains that the Hebrew word Torah actually stems from a root meaning to teach, to instruct, or to point out. Through this lens, we begin to see God’s instructions not as a burden, but as a divine "umbrella" of teaching that covers every aspect of our lives. Michael expertly illustrates a unique Hebrew literary method known as "stringing pearls," where God lines up synonyms like commandments, statutes, and judgments to create a composite whole. By exploring key passages in Genesis and Deuteronomy, Mr. Heiss reveals why Abraham was blessed for keeping God’s charge and how these instructions were physically preserved for us. He provides a fascinating look at the "Book of the Law" and why it was placed in the side of the Ark, transforming it into the Ark of the Testimony. The study further explores how Jesus Christ did not abolish these instructions but, as Mr. Heiss points out, "magnified" them. By looking at the Sermon on the Mount, we see how the Law was elevated from physical actions to the intents of the heart. Michael concludes by reminding us of the profound words of Isaiah: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." Join Mr. Michael Heiss for this compelling study as he encourages us to live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, finding light and direction through His divine instruction
