Uncle Michael Uye: B"H - The Torah contains the entire universe

 

B"H - The Torah contains the entire universe and the keys to unlock its secrets. 

 

Jewish commentary on the Torah has explored this vast expanse for thousands of years in many ways congruent to the development of the natural sciences - continually building, discovery upon discovery, breakthrough upon breakthrough. The Torah, as explored through Jewish commentary, contains Innumerable revelations of history, science, linguistics, ciphers and secrets, revealed and hidden, accessible to all (through sites like Sefaria), yet revealed to few. 

 

From halacha to aggadah to sitrei Torah, the revelation of God’s Word ranges from the Aramaic Targumim to the Mishnah to the Gemara (which make up not one, but two Talmuds, each the size of an encyclopedia and far beyond that) to volumes upon volumes of brilliant Midrashim, major and minor, to the Commentators, Rashi, Rambam, Ramban, Sforno, Ohr HaChaim to the Shelah, the Zohar, and lesser known Sefer Yetzirah and Bahir, Kitvei Ari to the revelation (or better said re-discovery) of Chassidus by the Baal Shem Tov flourishing into the works of Rebbe Nachman and other great rebbes. The Ramchal said that the Sages preserved the keys to unlock the Torah through coded language, the “keys to the kingdom” so to speak. These keys, codes, symbols and principles are found throughout these texts. There are literally thousands of books, only a portion of which have been translated into English. 

 

In these two decades, I was shocked to discover a Jewish parallel for nearly every sentence in the collection of the 27 books popularly called the “New Testament”. Some of these parallels are not only analogous in concept, but even in structure. In many cases, Rabbinic literature may provide the key to the actual phrases that underlie the Greek of the New Testament. There are other cases where a Rabbinic tradition has been shown to have existed in the 2nd Temple era, hundreds of years before the Talmud, because it was first mentioned in the New Testament itself. Attempts to capture these parallels have been attempted throughout the years, the most successful (although not perfect) of which is the Strack and Billerbeck commentary, containing 4,000 pages for the New Testament, and 1,200 pages for the Gospel of Matthew alone. 

 

This leads me to something I’ve thought about for a while. A mystery that I have asked top notch Jewish scholars, including the premier translator of the Zohar, Daniel C. Matt, and others. How is it possible that we have passages, parallel in not only theme but in structure and language between texts like the Zohar and Revelation? The Gospels contain halachic discussions that appear in the Mishnah and Tosefta. Was one dependent upon the other? Some scholars are convinced that the words of Yeshua diffused throughout the Talmud and beyond. Others claim that Yeshua borrowed from the rabbis of his day. Others say they both borrowed from a common source. In truth, it is probably a complex mix of all three. The parallels between the Gospel of John, Revelation, and the Zohar are shocking. Beyond that, the New Testament seems to be the first Chassidic text! 

 

This leads us to an inevitable conclusion if we are logically consistent and honest. If the New Testament says “A” and the Talmud says “A” - then the Christian must acknowledge the truth of the Talmud on that point, and the Jew must acknowledge the truth of the New Testament on that point. Now, what happens when we show, definitively, that we can create an entire ‘New Testament’ verse by verse, from Jewish literature? This puts both camps into a predicament that may be uncomfortable for some. The Berlin Wall separating both sides crumbles. The blinding light of truth hurts the eyes at first. For the Jew, this has nothing to do with converting to some later foreign Gentile religion. It simply restores the text of the New Testament back to its rightful owner, in its rightful context. The New Testament was written by Jews (with the possible exception of Luke), not by later church Gentiles. Similarly, the Tanakh contains a book written by a convert (Obadiah). For the Christian, it would challenge them to completely reject Anti-Semitism, antinomianism and Replacement Theology and embrace the Jewishness of their faith. I have often wondered, “What would it be like if Rashi, Ramban or the Shelah wrote a commentary on the New Testament?” What would it look like? For a while, this was a pipe dream. Until I realized how to see this commentary, to “reverse engineer” the commentaries of the Sages and apply them to the NT. How is this possible? Very simply one must find the verse in the Tanakh which the NT is referencing. Then gather the Rabbinic commentary on that verse, and then apply to the NT. When this is done, untold gateways unlock. It is beyond the scope to elucidate them here, but we have recorded a small portion of this at ladderofjacob.com.

 

In studying Jewish literature for over 20 years, I have not even scratched the surface, and have only seen only the tip of the tip of the iceberg. I have perhaps only grasped a single drop of the Torah during this time. Within this single drop, however, is the repeated fractal pattern of a much larger tapestry, which I believe contains the secrets of Cosmology and the nature of the cosmos itself (such as the age of the universe, the expansion of space, 10+1 dimensional spacetime fabric, kefitzat haderekh, Alcubierre drives and beyond).

 

With all of that said, what if you could compress all of this knowledge, these thousands of books, into a single computer folder? In the world of computers, there is a file format called ZIP, which supports lossless data compression allowing for a massive amount of information, tons of folders containing many documents, in a very small file size. You simply select all of the folders or files you want, right click, and “zip to folder” or “compress”. You can “unzip” it later to reveal all of the contents. 

 

The New Testament is this ZIP file. I have come to believe it is the prophetic summary of all Jewish literature for the last 2000 years - from the Mishnah, to the Gemara, Midrash to the Zohar to Chassidut. It reveals the secrets of the Torah openly on its pages. It reveals the secret of Mashiach ben Yosef and the secret of Mashiach ben David as one. Unfortunately, non-Jews have not been privy to the “keys” to unlock them. Oftentimes, they are reading a text they do not truly grasp (and I write this as a non-Jew). On the other hand, many Jews will not pick up a New Testament to read it. 

 

Everyone is convinced they know what it says and what it means. I do not believe this is the case until the keys are used, until the Torah connection to each verse is revealed. Paradoxically, anyone can pick up the book and feel God's life transforming power without knowing anything, requiring only a desiring heart - this is a personal experience of Redemption available to all. Nevertheless, we must strive to unlock it on a cosmic level. 

 

When the New Testament is unlocked with the Key of the Rabbis, inside of it is found the Key to the Geulah, the Key of the Resurrection, the Key of David. 

 

If only we would use the keys within our hands.
