Mashyach’s (Christ's) Sacrifice,

hidden in the very word

"Turah"

---

 

 

The word "turah" or as it is incorrectly know to many as "law" (Strong's H#8451) often refers to the Old Testament, and can specifically refer to the first five books written by Moses. One of the most enlightening events of a born again believers life is the moment he or she discovers that Yahusha Ha Mashyach (Jesus Christ) is interwoven into the entire Old Testament. It is said that Yahusha (Jesus) can be found on every page of the Old Testament. Well He can also be found before you even open the book!

Mashyach's (Christ's) Sacrifice, hidden in the very word "Turah"

 

 

 

The Hebrew word "Turah" is correctly translated as instructions in the English language. Much is lost in the translation, as they say. To understand what is lost, we must first realize that each character of the Hebrew language has a meaning.

 

 

 

The word "Turah" is split up by character (Hebrew is read right to left) as follows:

 

 

 

t

= (Tau)

Literal Meaning: a sign, a cross

Symbolic Meaning: a covenant, to seal

 

 

i

= (Uau)

Literal Meaning: nail

Symbolic Meaning: "and", to add, to secure

 

 

r

=(Raysh)

Literal Meaning: head

Symbolic Meaning: person, the head, the highest

 

 

e

= (Hay)

Literal Meaning: window, fence

Symbolic Meaning: "the", to reveal

 

 

 

If the meaning of each letter in the word "Turah" are combined to make a sentence, an amazing truth is revealed:

 

 

 

Tau + Uau + Raysh + Hay = a cross, nail, the head, window.

 

 

 

"Head" means "the highest" as in "the head of the household." "Window" means "to see clearly" or "to reveal" as in "a window to your soul."

 

 

 

So, the combined meaning of the letters of the Hebrew word "Turah" are:

 

 

 

[To] a cross, [is] nail [ed], the highest, is revealed [in the Turah].

 

 

 

or:

 

 

 

The Turah reveals the King of Kings, nailed to a cross.

 

 

 

 

Or if you want to keep the literal "head" for Raysh, you get:

 

 

 

 

Nailed to a cross, at his head, it is revealed

 

 

 

 

"Above his head they placed the written charge against him: THIS IS YAHUSHA/YESHUA (JESUS), THE KING OF ISRAEL." - Matthew 27:37 (Matthew Shen Tov Version)

 

 

 

or:

 

 

 

Nailed to a cross, the head [of the corner], is revealed

 

 

 

 Then He looked at them and said, “What then is this that is written: ‘The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone’?- Luke 20:17

 

 

 

or:

 

 

 

Nailed to a cross, the head [of the Church/Assembly], is revealed

 

 

 

 

"Mashyach (Christ) is the head of the church/assembly, his body, of which he is Saviour." - Ephesians 5:23

 

 

 

As you can see, Yahuah (the LORD) has revealed His redemption plan in places many had not even thought to look.

 

 

 

Imagine what further inquiry would reveal.

 

 

 

Paul tells us, "For since the creation of the world Aluhym's (God's) invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made..." Romans 1:20

 

 

 

All we have to do is truly look, and everywhere we look, we will see Aluhym (God), the Creator. What an honour!
