What do you Mean\u2026 Yeshua \u201cFulfilled the Law\u201d? (Mt. 5:17)
By
James Scott Trimm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often when I share with Christians that the Torah is everlasting, for all generations, they respond by saying, \u201cBut Jesus Fulfilled the Law.\u201d  By this they allude to an anti-nomian Christian theology that teaches that \u201cJesus fulfilled the law in our place, so we don\u2019t have to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But is this what \u201cfulfilled the Law\u201d really means?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reference is actually drawn from the words of Yeshua in the Book of Matthew:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets:<\/em>
I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.<\/em>
(Matt. 5:17 KJV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with it should be known that this reference to \u201cfulfilling\u201d the Torah vs. \u201cdestroying\u201d the Torah is actually a common use of a Hebrew idiom still used by Rabbis today in the Yeshivas.  To \u201cfulfill\u201d the Torah is an idiom meaning \u201cto teach the meaning of the Torah and observe it correctly,\u201d  that is to fulfill its true meaning.  While to \u201cdestroy\u201d the  Torah is an idiom meaning \u201cto incorrectly teach the meaning of the Torah and\/or to violate the Toarh,\u201d  That is to  destroy the true meaning of the Torah.  Even today in the Yeshivas and the Beit Midrashes Rabbis will get in heated  debates with one another, poinding a fist on a table and declaring \u201cyou have destroyed the Torah\u201d, or give another Rabbi a compliment saying \u201cyou have fulfilled the Torah.\u201d  It bears noting that in the next several verses Yeshua weighs in on controversies over the interpretation of various commandments in the Torah and gives us their true and correct meaning, so Yeshua\u2019s use of the term \u201cfulfill the law\u201d vs. \u201cdestroy\u201d the Law is totally in keeping with the normal idim of the Hebrew language for these terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several examples of this idiomatic usage can be found in the Hebrew of the Mishnah:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the Sanhedrin gives a decision to abolish a law, by saying for instance, that the Torah does not include the laws of Sabbath or idolatry, the members of the court are free from a sin offering if they obey them; but if the Sanhedrin abolishes (\u05dc\u05b0\u05d1\u05b7\u05d8\u05b5\u05bc\u05dc) only one part of a law but fulfills (\u05dc\u05b0\u05e7\u05b7\u05d9\u05b5\u05bc\u05dd) the other part, they are liable.
(m.Horayot 1:3)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go away to a place of study of the Torah, and do not suppose that it will come to you. For your fellow disciples will fulfill it (\u05d9\u05b0\u05e7\u05b7\u05d9\u05b0\u05bc\u05de\u05d5\u05bc\u05d4\u05b8) in your hand. And on your own understanding do not rely.
(m.Avot 4:14)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this is how you act, you have never in your whole life fulfilled (\u05e7\u05b4\u05d9\u05b7\u05bc\u05de\u05b0\u05ea\u05b8\u05bc) the requirement of dwelling in a sukkah!
(m.Sukkah 2:7)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whoever fulfills (\u05d4\u05b7\u05de\u05b0\u05e7\u05b7\u05d9\u05b5\u05bc\u05dd) the Torah when poor will in the end fulfill (\u05dc\u05b0\u05e7\u05b7\u05d9\u05b0\u05bc\u05de\u05b8\u05d4\u05bc) it in wealth. And whoever treats the Torah as nothing (\u05d4\u05b7\u05de\u05b0\u05d1\u05b7\u05d8\u05b5\u05bc\u05dc) when he is wealthy in the end will treat it as nothing (\u05dc\u05b0\u05d1\u05b7\u05d8\u05b0\u05bc\u05dc\u05b8\u05d4\u05bc) in poverty.
(m.Avot 4:9)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course the concept that Yeshua fulfilled the law in our place so that we no longer need to observe the Torah ourselves has a number of basic problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with the logic itself is faulty.  To \u201cfulfill\u201d something means \u201cto fill it until it is full,\u201d  However if I fill my gas tank until it is full, do I then throw the gas Tank away as if I no longer need it?  It seems to fill something up and to throw something away are two very different things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover there are serious problems with any logic which says that Yeshua fulfilled the law for me, so I no longer need to observe the Torah.\u201d  Yeshua did not keep the whole Torah.  Now before you get all upset, please understand that Yeshua never violated a single precept of the Torah, but there were still many precepts that did not apply to him, and therefore that he could not and did not keep.  Certain commandments apply only to lepers, or only to Levitical Priests or even to the Levitical High Priest, Yeshua did not keep these commandments.  Also there are many commandments that apply only to women, like going to be washed after a menstration period.  Yeshua never kepts these commandments either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that a woman cannot, for example, say \u201cYeshua was washed after menstruation periods for me, so I do not have to be washed after my menstruation period.\u201d  And therefore the entire framework of pseudo-logic which claims that Yeshua fulfilled the law so we do no longer need to observe Torah collapses upon itself.  It is simply a false theology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now let us look at Matthew 5:16-20 in context:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.<\/em>
17  Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.<\/em>
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.<\/em>
19  Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.<\/em>
20  For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.<\/em>
(Matt. 5:16-20 KJV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While anti-nomians have attempted to isolate the phrase \u201cI am come\u2026 to fulfil [the law]\u201d out of context of the surrounding material, when read in context of the surrounding verses it is clear that the passage does not in any way mean that the Torah should no longer be kept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In verse 16 the subject is introduced as relating to letting our light shine before men that they may see our good works.  Verse 17 then emphasizes that Yeshua did not come to destroy (this word could also be translated \u201cabolish\u201d) the law.  Verse 18 emphasizes that not one letter of the Torah will pass away.  Verse 19 emphasizes the importance of keeping the commandments and teaching others to do so (and conversely criticizes violating the commandments and teaching others to violate them).  Verse 20 emphasizes that that we must be even more righteous than the Scribes and Pharisees.  Finally in verses 21-48 Yeshua addresses specific commandments of the Torah and elaborates on their meaning, interpreting many of them in the broadest possible manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Yeshua said he came to \u201cfulfil\u201d the Torah in Matthew 5:17 he was not saying that he had come to keep the Torah so that we somehow would no longer need to do so ourselves.  In reality Yeshua was saying that he came to fulfil the Torah and not to destroy the Torah, he is using a common Hebrew idiom to tell us that he came to teach the true and correct meaning of the Torah and to properly observe it, and that he did not come to abolish the Torah, teach its meaning incorrectly or violate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is actually an idiomatic Hebrew usage. To \u201cfulfill\u201d the Torah means to teach the Torah correctly and\/or to keep the Torah correctly. Likewise to \u201cdestroy\u201d the Torah means to teach it incorrectly, or to not keep it correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n

I want to thank all of you supporting this work. I literally could not do it without you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This work takes hours of my time. As many of you know, my wife is very ill, and I spend most of my time at home as her caretaker. So I am in a position to dedicate many hours to this important work that I have been directed to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I also realize that it is not the activity of James Trimm alone who is responsible to do this work, it is all of us together who are charged with the responsibility of accomplishing this work. I very much look on the efforts of this restoration work as a cooperative one with each one of you. We are all joint heirs with Messiah and should always be about our Father\u2019s business. I am honored to be able to be partnered with truth seekers as this restoration of Scripture moves forward in fulfillment of prophecy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
