The way, the truth and the life...

I have no clue how true that is, but I think it is a wonderful concept. Hopefully, someone who knows a little more than me will let us know.

I have heard this before - He is the embodiment of Torah and all that He gave us at Sinai - He is the way by which all who will have always come to HaShem, He is the supreme obedience and by obedience show we our love and commitment to HaShem.

I have heard this a couple of times, on other messianic forums. I asked my rabbi about it awhile back and he said he'd never heard of it. I tried looking it up on the internet, but couldn't really find anything Jewish or about ancient Judaism and the Temple or tabernacle that mentioned it.

I like that story.

Tradition holds that these three portals were known by special poetic references. First was the gate to the courtyard. Because it was the way to the altar of sacrifice the gate became known as The Way. Once inside the courtyard the next portal you encountered guarded the way to the Holy Place. Because of those that sought answers through that portal it became known as The Truth. Once inside the Holy Place the next portal is the great veil that separates the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies. Only on the Day of Atonement and only when cleansed by prescribed sacrifice could the High Priest pass behind this veil and return alive. Because of this, that protective veil became known as The Life.

Revelation 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

Here is the people that found THE WAY, and THE TRUTH and THE LIFE. I do not see these people that will be sacrificed, they will not be martyred, and they will be sealed, for they have been measured as the TEMPLE OF GOD. They are the perfect in Christ.

2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

These people have found THE WAY and they see the door to THE TRUTH, from which shines great light, but they cling to the cross, and hold to their faith in baptism as a covenant of salvation.

I see these caught up in the storm, the winds of every doctrine, they will be tossed and turned. I see them in the time of trouble, the tribulation as never seen before and will never happen again.

I believe out of some of these will be those that hear the testimony of the two witnesses and will come into the holy place by faith, and will be martyred for their faith at the altar of incense.

Revelation 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

They are the multitude that came in during the great tribulation.

People often wonder why should I believe more than my church teaches, study to show myself approved of God, live a more Godly life, and follow more of the commandments of God, and most of all why isn't faith in the dead of Christ for their sins enough.

I believe there are a lot of reasons that why we should work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. I believe that it has a lot to do with our destiny. Both here and now and also for all eternity.

How can one receive the gifts of God unless they are ready to? How can they be good stewards of the gifts unless they were taught? How can anyone live a godly life unless they have learned of it, seen it in action, know the ins and outs of living it, and experiencing it for themselves? Each of these are steps in living a new life. This is where renewing and transforming our lives after our great Teacher, Yeshua is so important.

This isn't related to the Temple, but I have heard of the Torah being referred to as "The Way, The Truth, and The Life".

Yeah... I know. You've probably heard it from others besides me, but I realize that I'm a pretty large culprit in that regard.

It was you...tst tst tst , I don't think you are the only one, for I ahve been known to say the same thing.

In relationship to this, I was just taking a course on Genesis and it hit me that when sin happened in the Garden, HaShem drove the humans from the garden to prevent them from taking hold of the Tree of Life and being immortal in their sinful selves.

The way it's worded is : So he drove the man out, and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden, the k'ruvim and a flaming sword which turned in every directions to guard the way to the tree of life. ~ Gen 3:24

And in revelation 22 we see: Next the angel showed me the river of the water of life, sparkling like crystal, flowing from the throne of G-d and of the Lamb. Between the main street and the river was the Tree of Life producing 12 kinds of fruit, a different kind for every month and the leaves of the tree were for healing the nations, no longer will there be any curses.

In regards to Yeshua being the Way, the truth and the life,

Psalms 43:3 O send out your light and your truth: let them lead me:let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacle.

Aytz Chayeem he - It is a tree of life

What we say when returning the Torah to the ark

It is a tree of life to those who take hold of it, and those who support it are praiseworthy. It's ways are ways of pleasantness and all its paths are peace. Bring us back L-RD to you, and we shall come, renew our days as of old.

The path is open back to the garden and with full access to the Tree of Life to all those who believe in the one HaShem sent, Yeshua, who is that way, and is G-ds truth and he is the one who gives us access to eternal life!

I had documented on this website at one point where this came from. I believe it was a vague reference in the Talmud. I'll look it up again, but I don't have my library with me here in San Francisco, its back in Illinois.

This maybe somewhat related. Some interesting , strange and wacky stuff

A DOORWAY - How High or How Deep?

The Earth's center is roughly 3,800 miles from the surface. In the October 15, 2002, edition of The Harvard Gazette it was reported that a 360 mile diameter spherical core was found at Earth's center, and according to the article, the "Earth's New Center May Be The Seed Of Our Planet's Formation." (2)​

[SIZE=-0]

[SIZE=-0] ​

References are made in Job to GOD's sovereignty as being "high as heaven" and "deeper than hell" (11:8). Jonah refers to "the belly of hell" (2:2), Isaiah 5:14 reveals, "Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure....," and Proverbs speaks of the "depths of hell" (9:18). Throughout the Holy Scriptures "hell" is referred to in the context of the deepest, darkest "bowels" of the Earth. The molten furnace of the lake of fire. It is a place reserved for ha-Satan, his angels, and all of those not found "written in the Book of Life" (Rev. 20).​

[SIZE=-0] [/SIZE]

[SIZE=-0] [/SIZE] Could there be entrances to hell, just as the Holy Scriptures reveal there are doorways, windows, or "gates" leading into the New Jerusalem of Revelation? As with all gates, one needs a "key" to enter (Gen. 28:17; Isaiah 26:2; Matthew 7:13; 16:18-19; Rev 20, 21). In the Jewish festivals, for instance, Rosh HaShanah is also known as the "opening of the gates of heaven," and correlates with the 7,000th year, the Millennial or Sabbath rest at the end of the time-line for the Ages. In the Gregorian calendar, the year 2001, aligned with the "opening in heaven or doorway." This is around the same time period thought to align with the New Age Portal opening. In the Jewish Book of Creation, the Sepher Yetzirah [2.2], there are symbolic lines connecting the Hebrew letters. These connecting lines are known as "gates." As Lampholder Publications has discovered, the time-period represented by The Portal correlates with the Age of Ephraim, or the Western [Gate] of Moses' Wilderness Tabernacle occurring near - and at the end - of the 6,000 years of man.​

[/SIZE] [/SIZE] The Window or Doorway is OPEN = WAR
[/SIZE]

The window has a very, very important two-fold meaning: to the early Messianic Christians, the "window, doorway, or entrance" to heaven was associated with the "resurrection and/or catching away." The Romans borrowed the idea of the resurrection and associated it with the "Roman god of beginnings." The Roman god of beginnings was Janus, the door god, whose counterpart was the feminine, Jana. Jana was another name for DIANA [Diana is the masculine name for Dan]. The catching away of the Christians was reused in a pagan religious context. For instance, the Roman temple doorway of Janus was ordered to be shut in universal peace - Janus means peace or rest - and the doorway is open during times of war. ​

[SIZE=-0] [/SIZE]

[SIZE=-0] Moses' Wilderness Tabernacle is a perfect example for the use of doorways or entrances. The Wilderness Tabernacle had one, main entrance to the East, and contains more than just an Old Testament symbolic meaning. In Matthew 24:27-30, it is evidence of the "sign" of the Son of Man: "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be...[/SIZE]




The doorway/gate is closed - it is a time of peace!

And so begins the Seventh through the Eighth Day,​

or everlasting eternity.​

[SIZE=-0][SIZE=-0]Note: The reason the "doorway" is so very important is because it marks the passageway through to the outer heavens, and was blocked by Satan until the time of the Messiah. Yeshua Messiah, Jesus Christ "opened" the "doorway" to heaven through his life, death, and resurrection, but this sector of the heavens is still part of Satan's domain, or the fallen world, until the final judgment -- AND this is where the "false christ" has been described in prophecy, and the one(s) who will wreak havoc at the end of the Church Age [end of 6,000 years of man]. [A further explanation on the "false christ" prophecy will be given in the Portal III under the constellation of Sagittarius.][/SIZE][/SIZE]​

[SIZE=-0][SIZE=-0] [/SIZE] Portal Tunnels, Vortices, The Bottomless Pit
[/SIZE]

While much of the world is in a race to conquer outer space, others are digging downward in search of inner space. The depths of the Earth reveal secret hiding places in attempts to escape the prying eyes of satellite surveillance. The United States has NORAD hidden deep within the Cheyenne Mountains of Colorado, and the Russians are completing an enormous underground "nuclear bunker" and military weapons' facility in the Ural Mountains which is designed to protect against "direct nuclear hits." This is only one of a number of underground networks and bunkers reportedly maintained by the Soviets. (3) Also, the extensive North Korean underground tunnel network, Afghanistan - Uosama's hiding places, and what about China, and Saddam's tunnels, etc., etc.?
It has been reported, for instance, that Saddam Hussein has an extensive network of hidden bunkers and underground tunnels some 160 feet below the surface of the ground. Perhaps, a recent Lampholder prophecy revealed this truth, in part: "Saddam Hussein, deep within, tunnel, explosion, NORAD, Colorado, darkness, liquid spewing, large truck (similar to a tanker truck), mountain area, entrance rounded at the top and looking similar to a very large hole drilled into the base of a rock. The entrance had a road leading into and out of it."
The above mentioned "tunnels" are man-made, but could an invisible passageway exist, not constructed by human hands alone - an invisible portal from the outer parts of the universe connected to key access points on the Earth's surface? This theory sounds like a story theme made for Hollywood; but is this concept more than just a theory? Could there be openings, or shafts, in the Earth so deep, dark and long, they reach to the very inner core itself? As an example, in an article dated from the year 2002, Rense.com reported the existence of a mysterious "Alien Pyramid" of pipes and caves in the western province of Qinghai, China. The pyramid is located in a remote area on Mount Baigong located deep within the Qaidam Basin, Qinghai Province. The pyramid has, "...three caves with triangular openings on its facade and is filled with red-hued pipes leading into the mountain and a nearby salt water lake." It is believed to be a launch tower created by extra-terrestrials. (4)
