LETTER TO THE GALATIANSUnderstanding Shaul or Paul from a Hebraic mindset

Let us jump right into Galatians Chapter 3.

• Galatians 3:1-9

• They received the Ruach(Spirit) by Faith and not by works

• You must have faith first. Your works will come later

Galatians 3:12

• See Uayiqra(Leviticus) 18:4-5 (What does it do)? • Helps you live

Galatians 3:13-14

• What is the curse, Law or Sin? 1 Kepha(1 Peter) 2:24

• Debariym(Deuteronomy) 21:22-23• Curses; Yahuchanan(John) 7:49; The Law is not

the Curse• Sin (Violation or transgression of the Law) is

the curse or brings the curse • Remember the Torah or Law brings both

Blessings and the Curses (see last weeks study)

Galatians 3:15-16

• This is a quote from Bereshyith(Genesis)17:7 Making believers into 1 seed

Galatians 3:17-18

• Bereshiyth(Genesis) 15:13-16; Shemoth(Exodus) 12:40; Acts 7:6

• (Out of 430 years 400 of them were enslavement).

Galatians 3:19 is understood in 2 parts

• Add because of Transgression• The Law was put into effect through a

Messenger(Angel) • Acts 7:35-40; See also 1 Corinthians 10:4• Shemoth(Exodus) 23:20-22

Galatians 3:19 is understood in 2 parts (Continues)

• Back to why the Law was given. It stated it was add because of transgression. What transgression could Shaul(Paul) be talking about?

• The Levitical Priesthood was never in the original plan of /Yashraal)ישראל It was added because .[So to speak] (Yahuah)יהוהIsrael) transgressed יהוה(Yahuah).

• The original plan was every firstborn child/beast was to be dedicated to the Father. Shemoth(Exodus) 12:12; 13:1-2, 13-15; 22:28-29; 34:18-20

• Bamidbar(Numbers) 3:11-13; 3:41, 44-45; 8:14-19• What did the Leuites/Lewites(Levites) do to become Priest?

Shemoth(Exodus) 32:1-28

• Uayiqra(Leviticus) 9:1-10 is the Priests ordination.

• Uayiqra(Leviticus) 9:1-10 is the Priests ordination.

• Schoolmaster, using the Levitical Priesthood, why?• Within these verses you would need to see the

Mashiyach(Messiah) in them. • Burnt offerings symbolize obedience to Alahiym(Elohim) and is a

picture of the first four Commandments• Meal offerings symbolize the last 6 Commandments. It represents

fellowship with mankind. (Example: the Last supper)• Peace offering symbolizes Peace between Mankind and the Father.• All these are a sweet savor to the Father• The one offering that is not a sweet savor to the Father is the Sin

offering more on this offering later in this study.

1 Yahuchanan(1 John) 1:8-10; 2:1-4

• Forgiveness is not a green light to sin(Transgression

of the Law) It does not remove the obligation of keeping the Commandments and Laws of Alahiym(Elohim)

• His Death paid the price for “SIN” [Remember the definition of Sin]?

Hebrews 10:1-4

• Why couldn’t the Blood of Bulls and Goats take away Sin?

• Could something of lesser value (Animals) take away something of Greater Value (Mankind)?

• Vs. 3 states it is a reminder of sin every year

Schoolmaster• Galatians 3:24 The Sacrificial laws was the schoolmaster. • The Priest sacrificed for Israel and those that attached

themselves too Israel. • The schoolmaster: was intended by Alahiym(Elohim) to

teach us about the value of a sacrifice. When violating the Laws of יהוה(Yahuah) there is a death that MUST take place.

• We are the one who sinned NOT the Animal (Unblemished)

• We are the one who should have died, but it should have taught us that He loves us and gave us Mercy, their bytransferring our sins to the Animal, to give us a chance torepent and turn from our ways. That was lesson 1. SeeMatthew 23:23

• As we will read in Hebrews, these were temporary, and ADDED because of transgression lesson 2.

Schoolmaster (Continues)• The next lesson is He showed us just how

much He loves us that He was willing to sacrifice His Son. His Son is a better sacrifice, because the Bulls, goats, etc, cannot take the sins away (Scapegoat) because we are worth more then them. The value would have to be equal or Greater then we are in order for the Sins to be taken completely away.

Hebrews 10:5-7• Sacrifice and offerings He did not desire, but a

body you have prepared for me . See Psalms 40:6-7 [in the LXX version].

• Burnt offerings and Sacrifice for sin you have no pleasure (No sweet savor).

• They were only temporary, to be a teacher or schoolmaster to us. He had no delight in them.This is saying He did not want the Levitical offerings to serve as a means of forgiveness.

Hebrews 10:8-10

• He took away the First (Levitical Priesthood) that was added to establish the second which isthe Mashiyach(Messiah) to becoming the High Priest.

• The Context of these few verses is dealing with the laws of Sacrifices or Levitical Sacrifices.

Hebrews 10:11-12

• Offerings and Sacrifices that were ministered Day after Day could never do it.

• Who were the ones doing the sacrifices FOR SIN?

• The Levitical Priesthood.• The blood of Mashiyach(Messiah) was the only

way. Why blood? • Life is in the blood.

Hebrews 10:14-18• The Sin offering was the Change in the Law

[Changed not done away with]. • The Laws is still righteous, spiritual, good,

profitable for teaching, correction, for rebuke, training, and equipped for every good work.

• Galatians chapter 3 is clearly not talking about ALL the Laws but only the PART that was ADDED because of transgression.

• The Levitical Priesthood was added do to transgression. Laws governing the Priesthood concerning the Sin offerings has been done away with as we can see this day. The Father knew that the temple would be destroyed.

Hebrews 7:5-28• Melchizedek’s Priesthood came First, then the

Levitical Priesthood. Remember the only reason forthe Levitical Priesthood was because oftransgression.

• Perfection was not through the Levitical Priesthood, they were added for to learn from (Yashraal/Israel)ישראלi.e. “a schoolmaster”.

• Verse 12 The changing of the Priesthood, made a change in the Law. Can you see now what LawGalatians 3:19 is referring to? Not ALL Laws pluralbut 1 (Sin).

• Verse 18; the previous command is annulled because it was weak and unprofitable (for the Law perfected nothing).

Hebrews 7:5:-28 (Continues)• Was the Commandments weak? Or is this a specific

command that was weak?• Weak in the Flesh. Read Romans 8:3• The command He is referring to was the one concerning

the Leuites/Lewites(Levites), replacing the Firstborn, to teach us a lesson.

• Remember He is making a Kingdom of Priests [Shemoth(Exodus) 19:5-6], a Royal Priesthood 1 Kepha(1

Peter) 2:9; goes with a Royal Law [Ya’aqub(James) 2:8].• Law that perfects nothing is the Law of the Levitical

Priesthood. It was their temporarily, until the Promisecame, which was .the Mashiyach(Messiah) (Yahusha)יהושע
