Unlocking Galatians Hebraically – Part 1

The key to properly interpreting Galatians is identifying seven things without which you’re just using supposition and conjecture – six Q & A!  Q. What is the “different gospel” of 1:6? A. The answer will become obvious as we move through 2-6. Q. What has changed with regards to the role of circumcision and how it is used, that Shaul in his defense of the true gospel mentions in 2:3? A. Covenant entry sign (which they broke) and later land entrance token (Josh. 5). Q. What is the law that brings a curse to believers in Yahusha that is being spoken of? Written law? Oral law? Roman law? A. Gal 3:10 ‘the law’ is identified as “the Book of the Law Q. What is the meaning of phrase ‘works of the law?’ Can we identify this phrase using only biblical text and the supporting data of the DSS? A. The phrase is initially found within the context of the Book of the Law in Gal. 3. Our second witness comes from the DSS Mss 4QMMT showing the communities view of inclusion as interpreted through the Book of the Law, supported with the discovery of 25 copies, just of the Book of the Law-Deuteronomy being found amongst fragments of text containing the phrase ‘works of law’! Q. Once identified why was that law added? A. ‘that law’ (3:10) now identified, is expounded upon further as, “being added because of transgressions until the seed would come,” Gal 3:19. Q. What are the two covenants singled out in Gal. 4:21 that connect back to Abraham?  A. The Book of the Covenant – from the Jerusalem above which is the freedom and liberty that Shaul addresses (not freedom to lawlessness) – and the Book of the Law that gives birth to bondage, which is fleshly and corresponds to the Judaic bondage of the present Jerusalem of Shaul’s day – that ‘different gospel’ propagated by those who’d infiltrated Galatyah. Q. What is the time frame in relation to Acts 15? A. The issues Shaul addresses have not yet been examined by the Acts 15 Jerusalem Council. The clarity of that council did not come until after Galatians was written. Shaul a Shalioch, not of men, neither by man, but of Yahusha Ha Moshiach, and Abba YHWH, who raised Him up from the dead. Shaul was commissioned by YHWH as a Sholiach, which would have been contrary to the claims of the influencers, some who claimed to be ‘sent’ from Yaakov (2:12). 2 And all the Israelite brethren, who are with to the Israelite congregations of Galutyah.  (Church of Galatia) church was birthed in Gen.28:4 – Jacob will be a Church given the blessing and inheritance of the covenants of promise of Abraham – ‘Qahal’,  ‘Kehila’ –‘Ecclesia’-‘Church’ –  the bride beautifully dressed in the commandments of YHWH. People don’t realize that Moses was in the Church! Acts 7:38 This one (Moses) who was in the Church in the wilderness.  Moses couldn’t wait to get out of the church too! Ecclesia – congregation. not in the temple but in an upper room – It’s Shavuot – you’d be in the temple! 3 Grace and peace to you and shalom from Abba YHWH and from our Master Yahusha Ha Moshiach. “Kurios Yahusha”: Kurios is used in the LXX to render Y-H-W-H – the divine name. Shaul has no problem identifying Yahusha publically as the Supreme YHWH.  4 Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from the evil olam hazeh, according the will of YHWH our Abba. 5 To whom be tifereth le olam vaed, Amien. To say that Shaul is setting YHWH’s grace and YHWH’s Torah against one another is a false idea that has no historic, cultural or TaNaKh textual background. Did YHWH deliver us from slavery in Mitzrayim just to take us to the mountain and put us under slavery again? That’s accusing YHWH of being a tyrant and of us just exchanging one slave master for another – once examined it becomes a ludicrous argument – something else must be going on here in the text! (Read Ps.119). Accepting the Book of the Covenant is intricately fused with you being set free from slavery sin. 6 I am shocked that you are so soon turned from Him (YHWH) that called you to th
