The Roots of the Hebrew Word Torah - תורה - And Their Different Meanings

The Root Word of Torah and Its Different Meanings
Yeshua = Jesus
YHWH = God

Yeshua is the Living Torah. The root word of Torah is yarah and means to shoot arrows where as Torah means to hit the target. So to keep Torah means like to hit the target with an arrow. Yarah also means to teach or to instruct. And also it is rain. It's all right here:

Look at Zechariah 9:14 - And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his Arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.

YHWH calls Yeshua His arrow. Like I said yarah is arrow and yarah is the root of the word Torah. Also like I said - yarah is rain. Yeshua is the former and latter rain. Hosea 6:3 and again yarah is the root word for Torah. There are two circumstances of Yeshua being Torah. He is the living Torah.

Now look at the word imrah. It means Torah.

And in the Bible it is translated as the word word. Look at Psalms 119:162 for example - I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. David is saying that he rejoices in the Torah.

Read John 1:1 (In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God) again in a new light and doesn't it look different?

Look at Proverbs 6:23 - For the commandment is a lamp; and the Torah is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life. Now look at John 1:4 - In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

The law or Torah is light in Proverbs 6:23, yet in John 1:4 in Jesus is the light of men. See how it goes together and interprets each other? Makes you think doesn't it?
