Was Jesus on Mt. Sinai?

Does it matter?

….....

Do you have a calendar?

Yehovah (God) does!!

When did Jesus begin?

The manger?

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. Joh 1:2 He was in the beginning with Elohim. Joh 1:3 All came to be through Him,1 and without Him not even one came to be that came to be. Footnote: 1Eph. 3:9, Col. 1:16, Heb. 1:2, Heb. 11:3, 2 Peter 3:5, Ps. 33:6.

Col 1:14-17 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, who is the likeness of the invisible Elohim, the first-born of all creation.1 Footnote: 1Heb. 1:6, Rev. 3:14. Because in Him were created all that are in the heavens and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or rulerships or principalities or authorities – all have been created through Him and for Him. And He is before all, and in Him all hold together.

Jesus/Yeshua existed before Creation

Can He be seen between Creation and Mt. Sinai?

The Angel of Yehovah

The Angel of Yehovah

Passages considered this amazing visitation that Christian theologians call a Christophany:

Genesis 16:7-13; 22:1-18; 31:11Exodus 3:1-14 (see 'appeared' in 3:16; 4:1, 5; 6:3; Genesis 17:1; 18:1; etc...) 14:19

Numbers 22:22-35 (compare 22:35 to 23:5, 'Yehovah put a word in Balaam's mouth...)

Judges 2:1-5; 6:11-24; 13:1-24-and, a few more in the Prophets

The Memra

– The Targumim personify many interactions of Yehovah (The Lord) with the phrase 'Memra de Yeya' meaning, 'The Word of the Lord.'

Hundreds of references in Torah alone like these:

The Memra

Genesis 1:27 JERUSALEM. And the Word of the Lord created man in His likeness, in the likeness of the presence of the Lord He created him, the male and his yoke-fellow He created them.

Exodus 20:1 JERUSALEM. And the Word of the Lord spake all the excellency of these words saying:

Deut. 26:17-18 JERUSALEM. You have chosen the Word of the Lord to be King over you this day, that He may be your God. But the Word of the Lord becometh the King over you for His Name's sake, as over a people beloved as a treasure, as He hath spoken to you, that you may obey all His commandments.

But, Can man see God?

Joh 1:18 No one has ever seen Elohim.1 The only brought-forth Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He did declare.2 Footnotes: 1See 5:37, 6:46, 1 John 4:12. 2The pre-existent Son declared, and was the One who appeared to men.

Joh 5:37 “And the Father who sent Me, He bore witness of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.1 Footnote: 1See 1:18.

Joh 6:46 “Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from Elohim – He has seen the Father.

Exo 24:9-11 And Mosheh went up, also Aharon, Nad ab , and Ab ihu, and seventy of the elders of Yisra’ĕl, and they saw the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, and under His feet like a paved work of sapphire stone, and like the heavens for brightness. Yet He did not stretch out His hand against the chiefs of the children of Yisra’ĕl! And they saw Elohim, and they ate and drank.

Who did they see?

The Details:

- Angel of Yehovah in the midst of the burning bush, Ex 3:2.

- The Memra de Yeya spoke the commandments, Ex 20:1

- They saw and ate with a Divine Presence in Ex 24:10-11

- Angel of Yehovah says, “My covenant” and “You have not obeyed ME!!” Judg 2:1-4

Who gave the commandments?

Jas 4:12 There is one Lawgiver and Judge, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to

judge another?

Could Yeshua die for a covenant His Father made? Or, was He ‘sent’ before the covenant was made, and was HE the One who made the covenant with Israel, the Bride?

Who walked through the pieces at the Abrahamic Covenant? Gen. 15:1 says ‘the Word of the Lord’ came to Abram… Did Yeshua make that covenant as well? (I think so…)

When Yeshua says, “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments,” is He talking about a different set of commandments than the covenant referred to in Judges 2:1-4?

Yeshua said, ““Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. 18 For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not [a]the smallest yod or serif shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished...

19 Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”

***Who to RUN from!!

Mat 28:17-20 And when they saw Him, they bowed to Him, but some doubted. And יהושע came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make taught ones of all the nations, immersing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Set-apart Spirit, teaching them to guard** all that I have commanded you. And see, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” Amĕn.

**See next slide

... teaching them to guard all that I have commanded you.

Exo 20:6 but showing kindness to thousands, to those who love Me and guard My commands.

H8104 מר�שshamar shaw-mar'A primitive root; properly to hedge about (as with thorns), that is, guard; generally to protect, attend to, etc.: - beware, be circumspect, take heed (to self), keep (-er, self), mark, look narrowly, observe, preserve, regard, reserve, save (self), sure, (that lay) wait (for), watch (-man).

Over 100 times in the Torah we are commanded

to מר� sha'mar, “keep/guard” the שcommandments of God.

If Yeshua stood on Mt. Sinai and we are commanded by Yeshua to 'keep my commandments,' then we ought to be learning what those commanments are and studying them.
