Child of YHVH, Child of Torah
 

YHVH has always had a 'remnant', someone that wanted to be a separated nation, a kingdom of priests. In order for Israel to be that people, YHVH required something from them in their daily life, as we see in Ex. 19:5-6; Now if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, "then" you shall be my own possession among all the peoples and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. If we desire to be the same, shouldn't the same requirements apply to us? After all, YHVH never changes and is not a respecter of persons. In Ex. 19:7-8, we see how the people responded to his request; "All the Lord has spoken we will do."

Later we see where Israel decided they wanted a king to rule over them like the other nations had. Bad idea! However, since Israel was considered to be YHVH'S holy nation and kingdom of priests, he required something even of their earthly kings. He required the king to write out a copy of the entire Torah for himself (Deu.17:18). Not only would he write it out, but he was to read it daily and live according to its decrees. YHVH did not want the king's heart to be lifted up above his people because he was king. Even today YHVH is doing this same work in the hearts of his people. He's calling back his lost tribes to begin walking in his Torah once again.

We are called to be the fishermen for these people, the people who will say 'yes' to walking in Torah. These are the people who once again desire to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. People who say this is only in the Old Testament should look at Rev. 12:17. It doesn't say the dragon was infuriated at the church group, but the ones who KEPT HIS COMMANDMENTS "and" HAD THE TESTIMONY OF YESHUA. If you're a child of YHVH'S, you should be a child of the Torah, because you are Israel!
