With the annual Biblical Festival of Pesach at hand, we are exposed once more to various commentaries and denunciations by lone voices that dispute the Calendar and Rabbinic date-setting of this Biblical Feast.
|
The havoc created by these critics is especially destructive amongst non-Jewish Bible believers in this unique current Time of Torah restoration. This Phenomenon of non-Jews turning to the Torah has been engulfing the World over the last few decades – presenting a total turn-around after 2000 years of anti-Torah rejection and persecution of Jews. But, their search for the Original Truth becomes far more challenging when faced with such opposing claims, many of which are born from the Torah opposing cultures from which they stem.
|
Paradoxically, deeper contemplation on such disputed issues could serve as powerful tools to improve personal knowledge of the foundational principles of Biblical Faith rather than being destructive. In this way, more qualified seekers of Truth are created rather than just being traditional followers of religious cultures that one may have grown up in or have become part of.
|
Who and what is to be followed in these discrepancies?
|
Of course, the responses to this question will be claimed by a multitude of commentators, each claiming to be correct, but all contradict each other. Allow us to add our voice to the choir:
|
IF there is a Creator Who owns universal Rights over His Creation, then the Bible is the ONLY document that claims to be the direct, inspired Word of Him. Yet, there is no direct communication with Him – thus no access to explicit Divine confirmation. In ancient times God communicated with His elected leaders of His covenanted Nation – people like Moses, Joshuah, King David, and the Prophets. He would speak with them directly or through His Presence (Shechinah) in the Tabernacle or Temple. At the Time of the destruction of the 1st Temple in Jerusalem (586 BCE), He withdrew His Presence from the Temple. Prophecy declares that His Shechinah would return – at the Final Redemption at the End of Time – which will start a New Dispensation of His direct Rule over the nations in His Universal Kingdom.
|
Until then, He has not left us rudderless – and herein lies the answer to our question: WHO and WHAT guidance we should follow until then. In His supreme Wisdom and foresight, He must indeed have foreseen such discrepancies of opinion and the challenges thus presented to His Way and Wishes?

KOL HATOR VISION has offered a comprehensive, in-depth review of this Divinely mandated authority that the Creator has provided. In forwarding this article as an answer to such a lone voice Calendar critic this week, upon reviewing the article, it occurred to me (as the original author of this review) how deep and encompassing this study and answer truly is. It answers far more than just these disruptive counterclaims of critics who may well have sufficient reason to raise their voices – but …. Yes, there is a definite ‘but’ to be accommodated here – to restore Unity amongst all sincere Bible professing souls.

If you have not taken the trouble before to read this often-quoted article, you should use this occasion to do so now. And if you have read it before, then do so again, for it answers far broader questions: The recent discovery of an ancient pre-Hebrew alphabet of Joshua’s time raised several more questions. In the absence of any copies of the Bible which are older than 2000 years and the subsequent question it raised, that there were no alphabets whatsoever in Moses’s time, how then did he write the Torah? This article provides the answer also: God mandated a specific appointee to be His Spokesman until He comes to rule Personally. This, above all other theories, claims, and opposing rejections, confirms the need for ORAL transfer of developing conveyance and interpretation of what Moses was shown and learned during his 40 days 'crash-course' directly from the Creator, on how to run Universal rule according to the Will of the Creator.
|
So much then, for rejection of Oral Torah development by Moses and the subsequent Divinely mandated 'Lawgiver of God' over the next millennia - until just 2000 years ago when the Bible as a composite compilation saw the light for the first time in history. And, alarmingly, even then, there existed no easy way of publishing the Bible (until Guthenberg's invention of the printing press only 700 years ago!) - and worst of all: The majority of human beings could not read! Guthenberg had no market for his first publication of 200 books which took him one year to print and bind!

Long Live Oral Torah!- until He to Whom it belongs (She'loh) comes to rule His Universal Kingdom.
|
Time for Torah opposing re-awakening Ephraim (10-Israel, Hebrew Restoration supporters) to wake up to what the Creator's Will and Wishes truly require from them. And, for Judah to realize their Divine Mandate to SHARE the Torah with the nations out there and to recognize and welcome their long-lost Family back Home, to establish a re-united 12-Tribed Kingdom under the Guidance of Judah until Shiloh Comes!
