From Genesis to Eternity:

The History of the Torah

In this series, we take a journey through the biblical history to discover the history of the Torah--the Ketubah between Hashem and His Jewish people. We find that a list of "to dos" and "to don'ts", this covenantal document has a rich history filled with unconditional love, trials, tribualtions, and ultimate triumph for Israel the people, and Israel the Jewish nation.

~Am Yisrael Chai!

1. Gan Eden

Wisdom was the first thing Hashem created. In Gan Eden, The Tree of Life was The Tree of Torah.

2. Abrahamic Covenants

In Gan Eden, Hashem promised Havah that her seeds would be the ones who would strike at the head of HaSatan, and all forms of evil in this world. Eventually, Abraham was called by Hashem to father His covenant, seed bearing, Jewish people.

3. The Exodus

During our Jewish ancestors’ captivity in Egypt (at least (or especially) for the final 140 years), the Hebrews could not worship Hashem nor could they serve Him properly. We know this because when Moses goes to Pharaoh to tell him to “let my people go,” Hashem tells Moses to declare that the reason for the Hebrews’ freedom was so that they could go on a three-day journey into the wilderness to worship Hashem (Exodus 5:1).

4. Mount Sinai

After the Exodus, Hashem married His people with a Ketubah (now called the Torah), which Hashem gave to Moshe atop Mt. Sinai.

5. Nation of Israel Established

The Torah not only established Hashem's Laws, the Torah established the governing document for His Holy Nation: Israel.

6. Eternal Jewish Kingdom

Hashem made a promise to Abram in Genesis 15 that the descendants born to Abram from Sarai would one day inherit the land of Canaan as an eternal homeland. This promise made to Abram was not a promise of a mere earthly kingdom that would rise and fall like so many earthly kingdoms. Rather, Hashem promised Abram this land would be an eternal possession of the children of Israel.

7. Torah: The Light Unto The Nations

At the end of days, Hashem promises that He will make His wisdom (Torah) known to the entire world, by which all suffering will end and eternal shalom will bless the globe. Through the light of Torah, all darkness will be banished, every nation will be blessed, and all peoples dwelling in harmony and at peace with G-d.
