Do we begin at the beginning when reading a book? Or do we begin at the end? This is a very good set of questions that we have when looking at the entirety of scripture. Let's keep that as something to consider while going through this teaching.
There are two ways that we will look at the following words:
fulfill
destroy
In the setting of the Hebrew idiom fulfill means to correctly interpret while destroy means to misinterpret both of these idioms are in reference to the Torah. That in a misinterpretation of the Torah in teaching others would cause others to walk in a manner not in accordance with the Torah and not only effect that person but the entire community. As a study of the 613 principles, commands, statues and ordinances of Yahweh will show that these were given for us individually and the community as a whole. How we are to treat each other and how we are to treat the Lord God. Over time many laws were added and cause confusion and unnecessary hardship. This is what Yeshua, in His custom in the synagogues is discussing with the Pharisees and Sadducees. He states that they, the ones who teach and make decisions based on the Torah, don't have a full grasp of the holy scriptures. It is this lack of understanding that kept them veiled in their time and many in the church in our time. As the Messiah did with the disciples, He opened up their understanding. For it is not our understanding that help us to see this but His understanding. As it is written--Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Emmanuel came to us to save us certainly and this includes a correct teaching of principles. That it would be made to stand up, to have better understanding of His teaching and instruction.
In error, the church has believed that the fulfillment means that the Torah is over. This confusion stems from understanding obedience. We have to know that His obedience doesn't replace our obedience to His teachings and instructions. He fulfilled this by correctly interpreting the Torah.
The literal translation of fulfill from the Greek--Strong's number 4137G means fill complete, supply and perfect. Then we have, destroy from the Greek, the Strong's number 2647G to overthrow completely. He is the One who is prophesied of, that He fulfilled the scriptures in the writings of the prophets. But when it comes to the Torah--it's been done away with?! Mark 13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. Isaiah 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. So we see here whether by idiom or literal understanding of scripture the Torah was not done away with!!! If we had no sin, we would not need a Savior! Did Yeshua die in vain? Certainly not! All must be fulfilled, what must be fulfilled? All of His word! It will, it shall and has to come to pass! Hosea 2:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the Lord, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth; Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
The teachings of the church have become backward overtime. By beginning with the New Testament and then sometimes going into the Old Testament or Tanakh. Yahweh commanded that Yeshua be confirmed and foretold in scripture, but which ones? We cannot make assumptions by beginning at the end and then picking up what suits the reader or the listeners from the Old Testament!! Don't you see that the credentials of Christ, our Messiah that we have had in the New Testament originated and is definitely strengthened by the Tanakh?! As it is referred to by saying, it is written, you have heard it said--but where is it said? The Old Testament, the Tanakh! To hear this again click here.
