Mitzvah or Mitzvot, plural is the Hebrew for “Divine Precept” or “Commandment.” The Torah contains 365 prohibitive Commandment, or forbidden desires, the things or action we must refrained from doing, and 248 positive Commandments, the positive desires we should all desire, the Words and actions ABBA YAHWEH prescribe for our daily lives.

      The fact that Adam and Eve eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of good and evil, everyman needed to be educated on what is right and what is wrong. Both set of commandments provides the CREATORS guidance in what desires is Holy and what is not Holy, in though, word and deeds.

       The only way to attain Holiness “closeness to ABBA YAHWEH” is through obedience to the Commandments “Mitzvot.” The Torah were given to us not for the sake of imposing rules and restrictions on humanity, but it is a Divine Communication that can be seen as generous, teaching humanity how life works and what to do and what not do to.

Within the Commandments are all the instructions necessary for human conduct, in order to help people, believers should avoids negative consequence and repercussions, so that we can reap the greatest benefit from living in accordance with the laws of the CREATOR of the Universe.

      The Mitzvot or commandments are not just restrictive or punitive actions; they are methodical explanation of the laws of the Kingdom of Shamayim, the heavens. Torah is not just a book design to control human beings as much as it is the constitution of the Kingdom. It is a set of rules of the game, informing us that if a certain action is taken, there is a specific consequence that will occur at some points in time.

        The Mitzvot also informs us of the things we can do to maximize the benefits and goodness of life. This is what Kabbalah teaches that every single thought, word, and deed we indulge in, has repercussions throughout the entire universe. The prohibitive commandments can be viewed as essentially a list of parasitic way in which the evil-one feeds off the vitality of the human being, by diverting precious life energy to the flesh. It is in this sense that the prohibitive Commandments can be seen as a gift of insight about those things that humanity should avoid in order to be a vessel for light.

       In Messiyanic Judaism, keeping the Commandment is an action in Love for our Messiyah, the One who went to the Cross, bearing the curse of our sins. The practice of Messiyanic Judaism involves adherence to the Renewed Covenant negotiated my Yahushua, for us on a daily basic.  The level or degree of observance of the Commandments “Mitzvot” varies according to an individual’s day of Creation.

       Within Messiyanic Judaism, the commandments apply universally, except for the sacrificing of animals, for Messiyah Yahushua is our Lamb slaying from the foundation of the world. We do not kill a lamb anymore, for our sins, but we bring the cost of the sacrifice.

        The Practice of Messiyanic Judaism is always evolving, no matter what, it is a living faith. Today, within Messiyanic Judaism, there is a distinct trend towards a restoration of all things which will restore a deeper level of spiritually, which naturally involves a constant obedience to the Commandments. This is the Spirit of Elijah.

       When the Written Torah was given, an Oral Torah was also given; which expand and explain the written Torah? Kabbalah teaches that the 10 Commandments derive from the 613 specific commandments. The Written Torah is the 613 and the 10 is the summary off the 613 commandments. While the “Mishnah” the Oral Torah is derive from the Sephirah Keter, which is the Metaphysical origin of the Commandments.

       Kabbalah teaches that the Commandments “mitzvot” have both personal and celestial impact, because every word we utter our voice reverberates throughout all of the Olamot “World,” either promoting or hindering the dynamic spiritual balance of the universe.

       It is our own words and actions that make possible the actualization of the Divine Will of this world. It is this astonishing fact of life that reveals the ultimate purpose of each Commandment we perform out of love for Messiyah. Each Command activates and connects us with ABBA YAHWEH, by raising our level of righteousness in this physical world. There is a physiological counterpart in the physical body; the performance of the Commandments “Mitzvot” produces spiritual nourishment into every part of our body, soul and spirit.

There are three type of action the human Ego can engage in. In the Hebrew language they are:

1.     Assur – means “prohibited” or “forbidden, or sin,” the negative commandment or desires, when this is done it makes the soul unavailable for spiritual elevation.

2.     Mitzvah – means “Divine Precept” or “positive Commandments” or desires, the actions that will cause the soul to be elevated.

3.     Mutar – means “permitted” example generosity, when this is performed with the correct intention, it permits the soul to be elevated.

Every Kingdom is establishes and govern by a set of laws, rules, regulations and Statues. The Kingdom of the Heavens is the epitome of a King whose laws, precepts, statues, judgments and command are laid out in a document written on two stone tablets called the Ten Commands which is a summery of the Torah, the first five books of the Scripture.

These regulations are divided in two sections: The Love for the King of that Kingdom, and the Love for its citizens. These two categories can be further broken down into ten categories, know as the Ten Commandments. These Ten Commandments are further broken down in 612 specific principles, covering every avenue of life between man and his Creator and man and man.

When Yahushua came to Earth, He clarified that the Commandments was in two sections: The love for our Creator and the love for our fellow man. At one point in our history the Commandments was based on obedience; to a point this is still true, for we are still required to keep the Commandments. Today however, we are required to keep the Commandments base on the Love for our Messiyah Yahushua. If you Love Me keep my Commandments. John 14:¹⁵ “If you love Me, keep My commandments”.

Rabbinic Judaism keep the commandment out of obedience to the Laws, Scriptural Judaism “Messianic Judaism” keep the Commandment out of a love for our Messiyah, who died for us at Calvary. It is imperative for everyone to understand that these commandments outline in this paper, forms the constitution of the Heavenly Kingdom. As a potential good citizen of that Kingdom, we must learn them by writing them on our hearts as Jeremiah 31:33 and Hebrew 8:10 admonish us to do. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Yisrael after those days, saith YAHWEH; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a EL, and they shall be to me a people:

The purpose of this paper is to look in details on every positive and negative command, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, listed in Torah. What we as citizen of that kingdom, are required to do and not to do, when to do them and when not to do them, how to do them and how not to do them. The time when we are to do them, and when we are not to do them. This is called our desires.

The good citizens of every kingdom are classified by there ability to be obedient to its laws. By disobeying the laws in love for the King, we show contempt for the laws and it’s King. The Sons of the King are usually the one’s who help to formulate and uphold the Laws of their father’s Kingdom. El Yahushua (Jesus Christ) was a son who upholds His Father Desires absolutely perfect. He said that His Will was to do His Father’s wishes, which is to keep Torah.

When the Children of Yisrael said "na'aseh v'nishma” – we will do and we will listen", they were accepting the marriage contract, the Ketubah, or the Torah with its 613 Mitzvos (commandments). The mitzvos that we are given are the constitution of the Heavenly Kingdom. Those of us who wishes to operate in our full potential in that Kingdom, should pay close attention and learn them. The whole premise of mankind is to learn these commandments or in short, the Constitution of the heavenly Kingdom, this is the Will of El YAHWEH for all of His children. The evil-ones job is to prevent or stop us from learning or obeying these rules and regulations.

As citizen of the Heavenly Kingdom, we are precious gifts through which we can manifest the glory of the Kingdom of Heavens here on earth. The Torah contains all the information’s for us to grow and blossom, and through which our relationships between a set Apart Elohim and His subject, a person and another person, or a person and him/herself can flourish. From a broader perspective, these laws form the Constitution of the Heavenly Kingdom. In every kingdom, good citizen, are define by their obedience to the laws, they cannot know the constitution and follows its laws, precepts, statues, and judgments, unless they study the document.

Of the 612 Mitzvos “commandments”, there are 247 positive desires, commandments, meaning, the actions "we shall do", the good side of the Tree of Knowledge and 365 negative desires, commandments, meaning, the actions "we shall not do" the evil side of the tree of Knowledge. The children of light routinely manifest the good side of the Tree of Knowledge on a daily bases, while the children of darkness desires is for the negative commandments, the evil side of the tree of Knowledge.

These 612 commandments is what I called, the required curriculum need to be accomplish, by anyone who wishes to graduate with a degree in full son-ship in the Kingdom of Heaven. Planet Earth is nothing more than a gigantic universal university, where El YAHWEH trains His children to be developed perfect desires. The establishing of these desires or compliance to His commandments, Law, statues, precepts, judgments, and right rulings will determine what reward we will receive in the world to come.

The 247 positive commandments are the requirement required by a Set Apart Elohim for His subjects. These are what is required for us to maintain ones status as a good or holy subject. Perfection is determined by the amount of these positive desires one faithfully keep. While the practicing of anyone of the 365 negative desires, commandment, create a void between The Sovereign Master of the Kingdom of Heavens and His created subjects.

The words: obey, obedience, blameless are found in the scripture 14, 504, and 47 respectively. Exodus 19:⁵ ‘Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My Voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.

Romans 6:¹⁶ Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

Genesis 17:¹ When Abram was ninety-nine years old, El YAHWEH appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty Elohim; walk before Me and be blameless. ²“And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.

The word disobedience on the other hand, are shown in Ezekiel 5:⁷ Therefore thus says EL YAHWEH  ‘Because you have multiplied disobedience more than the nations that are all around you, and have not walked in My statutes nor kept My judgments, nor even done according to the judgments of the nations that are all around you’ ⁸“therefore thus says the Elohim YAHWEH: ‘Indeed I, even I, am against you and will execute judgments in your midst in the sight of the nations.

The source of all disobedience according to scripture comes from the spirit of the power of the Air. Ephesians 2:¹ And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, ²in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,  

Now lets us look all look at the Commandments "Desires" so we can study them, know them, in order that we may walk in them, knowing what is right and what is wrong. What we are to do in every given situation. That we may learn to separate light from darkness, truth from lies, and right from wrong. 

Obedient to the Laws will produce the blessing of Deu 28:1-14 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of EL YAHWEH, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that EL YAHWEH will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2  And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the YAHWEH thy EL; disobedient to the laws produce the curse of Deu 28:15-68  But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of YAHVEH thy Elohim, to observe to do all HIS commandments and HIS statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee.

A thorough knowledge of the Commandment will establishes the first day of Creation in our lives spiritually. So that we may experience our second day of Creation! Without a thorough knowledge of the Commandments we will never truly walk in all the fullness of the first day of Creation. The first day of Creation forms the foundation of our spiritual walk, were the Spirit of Truth establishes us a children of light, Let us learn them together? 

There are two sets of Commandments in Torah: One which is place in the Ark, Exodus 40:20  And he took and placed the Testimony into the Ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy-seat on the ark from above. and another set which is place on the outside of the Ark. Deur 31:26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of  EL YAHWEH, that it may be there for a witness against thee. 

Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; We will hear Christians quoting Colossians that the law is nail to the Cross. Say to them that is true, but which one of the laws were nail to the cross, the one on the inside of the Ark, Exo 40:20 or the one on the outside of the Ark, Deu 31:26. 

Then ask them to read the two following Scripture to see what both the old and the New Testament say about the laws that were place inside of the Ark. 

By the way, the Ark is an illustration of a mature believer, one who internalize the Word, the Holy Spirit, and who is spiritually qualified to be a Pot of Manna for other to feed from. 

This paper is to examine the Laws that we should internalize or have them written on our heart. JER 31:33 and Hebrew 8:10 For this is the Covenant that I will make with the house of Yisrael after those days, saith YAHVEH; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a EL, and they shall be to me a people: 

Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27  And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in MY statutes, and ye shall keep MY judgments, and do them.

The law that was nail to the cross is the curse of the Law, Deut 28:15 – 68.
