In this class Ross explores the topic of the Testimony. Ross begins his class by reading Isaiah 8:16-22. In this passage we find that the disciples of YHVH will “bind the Testimony and seal the Torah”. In this same passage we are told that those who do not speak according to this word (Torah and Testimony) have NO light in them!
We know what the Torah is, but what is this Testimony of which Isaiah speaks. Throughout the Torah we read of the ark of the testimony.
Everyone is fascinated with the ark. From Holywood to popular books, everyone wants to find the ark. This no doubt would be the greatest discovery of all time, but what is the testimony.
The ark was built to contain the testimony. The tabernacle, about which more is mentioned in the Torah than any other subject is referred to as the Tabernacle of the testimony.
