We know from the Testimony of Yeshua that the saints are called the spiritual temple (or house) of Elohim (1 Tim 3:15; Heb 10:21; 1 Pet 4:17; 1 Cor 3:16; 6:19; 2 Cor 6:16; Eph 2:21). What we see here is that the \u201cteachings\u201d or \u201cinstructions in righteousness\u201d (i.e., the Torah) of YHVH go forth from the temple or house of Elohim located on Mount Moriah for the benefit of the spiritual house or temple of the saints. Clearly stated, Yeshua is saying that the Torah-law of Elohim is for redeemed believers today during the \u201cChurch Age.\u201d<!--more--><br \/>\nThe \u201crock\u201d is a clear reference to Yeshua (Ps 18:31,46; 78:35; Rom 9:33; 1 Pet 3:8). He is a Rock and a House (Ps 31:2). He was the Rock in the wilderness from which the water of life flowed and that followed them (referring to the pillar of fire over the Tabernacle of Moses; 1 Cor 10:4; John 4:13\u201314). He was the Rock that is the Creator (Deut 32:18). As the Rock of Israel, his work was perfect and all of his Torah-ways (instructions, precepts, teachings in truth and righteousness) are judgment and truth (Deut 32:4). He is the Rock of Israel\u2019s salvation (Deut 32:18; Ps 62:2,6; 89:26; 95:1). In Jacob\u2019s dream of a ladder to heaven (which we discussed in the article entitled, &#8220;<a title=\"Jacob's Ladder\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoshanarabbah.org\/pdfs\/ladder.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Jacob&#8217;s Ladder: YHVH&#8217;s Plan of Salvation from Genesis to Revelation<\/a>&#8220;), the rock or stone upon which Jacob rested his head and from which the ladder to heaven ascended is mentioned several times (Gen 28:11, 18, 22). This is a clear reference to Yeshua. He is the Stone that the builders rejected and which has become the Head of the corner (Ps 118:22). He is the Stone of stumbling and the Rock of offense (Isa 8:14), and he is the Stone that was laid in Zion for a foundation stone, a tried stone, a sure foundation (Isa 28:16). Yeshua is the Torah-Word of Elohim made flesh ( John 1:1, 14), and as we have already seen, he was the one who spoke out the Torah-instructions in righteousness to Israel at Mount Sinai. And upon what were those instructions written? Upon two tablets of stone.<\/p>\n<p>So how could we summarize what Yeshua is teaching in his parable about the house on the rock? Does it give us any insights into how he viewed the Torah-law of Elohim that was given to the Israelites at Mount Sinai? Was Yeshua negative in his view of the Torah? Was he indicating that it would be replaced with another (new) law for the disciples\u2014one that would supersede the Torah? Or as Paul the apostle said in the book of Romans, \u201cDo we make void the Torah of Elohim by faith? Elohim forbid!\u201d (Rom 3:31 cp 6:15). Not at all. Yeshua\u2019s teaching of the house on the rock validates the Torah and therein he states clearly that the man whose spiritual house is not built on Torah is a foolish man and that his house will fall. Such individuals will be the ones who will hear the words of Yeshua, the Living Torah, on judgment day , \u201cDepart from me, you that work Torahlessness. I do not know you.\u201d This warning is totally consistent with Yeshua\u2019s words of Matthew 5:17\u201319 where he forcefully upholds the legitimacy of the Torah of Elohim. He has nowhere in the Sermon on the Mount contradicted himself, nor deviated from his core teaching of upholding the central teaching document of the people of Israel\u2014the Torah (the instructions, teachings, precepts in righteousness) of Elohim.<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Build Your House on the Rock (of Torah)',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2013\/10\/01\/build-your-house-on-the-rock\/',contentID: 'post-3709',suggestTags: 'House,Matthew,Rock,Torah,Yeshua',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matthew 7:24\u201327, House on the Rock.\u00a0What is Yeshua saying here?
