Messiah in the Torah - The Book of Exodus

In the second of a 5 part series, Messianic Rabbi Stan Farr goes on a search for the Messiah in the Torah. Isaiah 2:3 says: "Out of Zion shall go forth the Law, and the Word of the LORD from Jerusalem." The goal of this study is to present the Word of God in its Hebraic context; we want to return to the same understanding as the disciples of Yeshua had in the first century.
One of the best ways we can better understand Messiah is by studying Torah. In John 5:46, 47 Yeshua said, "if you believed Moses you would believe me, for he wrote about me. But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?"
Yeshua tells us that Moses wrote of him in the Torah. This fascinating information further iterated by the writer of Hebrews in chapter 10:5-7 as he quotes Psalm 40. Therefore, when Messiah entered the world he said, "sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; with burnt offering and sin offering you were not pleased." Then I said, "Here I am - it is written about me in the Scroll - I have come to do your will O' God."
Both the writers of Psalm 40 and Hebrews 10 tell us that the Scroll of the Torah is a book about the Messiah. This should be no surprise to we believers because John told us this in his gospel. John 1:14 says, "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only, who came from the Father full of grace and truth."
John tells us that Yeshua is the Word made flesh; and when John wrote this, the Word consisted of the Torah and the prophets, what is commonly referred to as the Old Testament. So John tells us the same things as the writer of Hebrews; the whole of the Word of God is a revelation of Messiah. The church has missed the greatest revelation of Messiah given to man by not studying Torah. It's how we know for certain that Yeshua was the Messiah sent by God to redeem the world. When we compare the things that are written there with the things he did on earth, even a child can see that Yeshua is the Messiah of Israel. In this study we will go on a search to find and know the Messiah in the Torah. We're in the book of Exodus.
