Matthew 14:34-36
34 And when they were gone over,( they got back into the boat to continue their trip and the Gentiles had worshipped Him and called Him Son of G-d and He allowed it. Other places in the Bible, like with John the Baptizer, when they called him Messiah he immediately told them to stop, that he was not the Messiah. But Yeshua allows it because HE IS THE MESSIAH!) they came into the land of Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased; 36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

Matthew 15:1-9
Then came to Yeshua scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, (He’s far away from Jerusalem, He’s in the Middle of the Galilee. They came all the way from Jerusalem to watch Him) 2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3 But he answered and said unto them, (answering a question with a question): Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift (Korban), by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. 7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
OK, let’s look at this whole thing from a Hebraic, First Century Perspective. According to Josephus, the land of the Gennesaret (Genesar today), is a plain about 3.5 miles long and 1.5 miles wide northwest side of the Sea of Galilee between Tiberius and Capernium. In 1985 a Yeshua Boat was found in the low tide in this area. It was a Boat from the first century so they called it a Yeshua Boat. Anyway, when they got back in the boat, they are out in the Sea of Galilee heading for Beth Saida, the wind was still blowing and it blew them off course and they end up on the bank of the Gennesaret. The city was called Chinnereth. This was an ancient city, up on a hill, overlooking the plain. The word Chinnereth translates HARP in Hebrew, and if you looked from this ancient city out over the plain, it looked like an ancient harp.
The men of that place had knowledge of Him. They wouldn’t have all gathered together for an ordinary Rabbi, they knew He was Messiah! When they realized The Messiah had come to their land, they brought in all these people that were diseased and they were healed. And besought him that they would only touch the Hem of His Garment. They wanted to touch the Tzit tzit. Remember, these are all Jews, according to the Book of Numbers, they are ALL wearing Tzit Tzit. It represents the 613 Laws of G-d. They were attached by Biblical Command at the Hem or the bottom corners of the garment. They usually touched the ground. The Tent ropes that were used in the Tabernacle touched the Tent stakes on the ground. The covering over the Tabernacle was of one piece and it had tent strings that WERE Tzit Tzit. Tallit means “Little Tent”. When you wrap yourselves in your Tallet, you are in the Tabernacle of G-d. The Tabernacle of G-d was GROUNDED in the 613 Laws of G-d!
The woman with the issue of blood is the one that started this whole thing.
Malachi 4:2
2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
The Hebrew word for Corner or Border is Conoch, an idiom for the word means WINGS. So, this woman isn’t supposed to be in the crowd. She’s not even allowed in the Temple or in a Synagogue. She touches the Hem of His Garment. Yeshua says, “The Power, The Virtue of G-d just went out of Me, who touched Me? And His guys say, “Are You kidding? They all touched You. They’re all over You! And Yeshua says, NO, someone touched me by faith.” She knew the scripture from Malachi. She knew He was Messiah. She knew He understood the POWER of the Tzit Tzit, the Law of G-d because He IS the Law of G-d! She knew by Faith, He was the Messiah, and by Faith, according to Malachi, she just had to touch the Wings, the Tzit Tzit, the 613 Physical Laws of G-d, she would be healed. When you touch the Lord with the Word, when you speak back His Word to Him, it will not come back to you void. This is the stuff Miracles are made of.
Whether they knew Malachi 4:2 as she did or they knew the story of what happened to her, no matter which, from that moment they just wanted to touch the Hem of His Garment.
There are three occasions that this is listed in the Christian Bible, which only tells of us about 19 days of Yeshua’s life over a three and a half year period. There are three examples of Him spitting on the ground, because it was tradition that the Messiah would have Healing in His Spittle. And three times they wanted to touch the Hem of His Garment because the Bible said He would come with healing in His Wings. He taught us to use the Tzit Tzit for healing of “Disease” This is a word that when broken down in Hebrew means DisEase. It is when you are hurting not only physically, but spiritually, emotionally, financially and in any other area of your life. The 613 Laws of G-d when applied by total Faith, Emuna, they will HEAL ANY DIS EASE!
Since we have three examples in the recorded 19 days, they must have done this constantly. It must have been a given to those around Yeshua. OK.. Matthew 15:1…Then came to Yeshua scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying…” What’s going on here? The conflict with the Pharisees over the traditions of the Elders wasn’t a major deal with Yeshua. Every TV Evangelist, every Preacher, every Bible Commentary and Commentator, every body that doesn’t know the Bible and has nothing else to preach always says: “those bad Pharisees. Those terrible traditions of the Jews from Moses and the Elders.” Yeshua only put down a couple, 7 to be exact, traditions of the Elders. They had thousands of them. So Yeshua must have agreed with most of them as long as they didn’t circumvent the Word of G-d, which includes His 613 Laws. In Christianity, we have another problem. Most of the TRADITIONS of the Christian Church Elders are based in Paganism! They put fences around the Law, to make sure people did not break the Law. That was the Traditions of the Elders. As more and more fences were put around the Law, it sometimes created a conflict with the Law itself. This is what Yeshua was doing. He was showing them that those fences that would hinder the Law were no good and must be done away with. The good fences were there for the weak people so they wouldn’t break the Law.
No where in the Word are we told that the Main Tithe, the ten percent that is used in America, is to go anywhere but to the STORE HOUSE, the building the animals and food were kept beside the Temple and Synagogues, to care for the needy. Christianity makes the Store House the Church in order to protect the Tithe, and then uses it for whatever they want to. This is not a fence around the Law that protects the Law, this is a fence around the Law that circumvents the Law.
Birth control, abortion, divorce, remarriage, homosexuality, the Sabbath, these are all covered by the Law. If you don’t know the Law and put a fence around what you think is the Law, the Devil marches right in. If you don’t know the truth, and you keep teaching wrongly, you are teaching a bunch of lies! You are circumventing G-d’s Laws! Study to show yourself approved unto G-d a workman that can RIGHTLY,CORRECTLY discern the Word of Truth! We have to study and know the Law in order to know what Yeshua was setting upright. Since Christianity is filled with Paganistic interpretations of G-d’s Laws, we are bound to have mistakes, and big mistakes at that. DO NOT be moved by emotions. Because it “Sounds” right does not necessarily mean it is right!
I heard a Pastor on TV teaching on how the “Traditions of man will make the Word of G-d of non effect.” Yeshua said: “THIS Tradition.” He named ONE! This, by the way is not a problem in America. The Tradition He named was washing your hands before you eat. It’s something most people, if not all people, know of and should observe.
Yeshua and His men were in a place that was impossible to wash their hands before they ate. So they didn’t wash their hands. The Pharisees would have not eaten which could have broken a bunch of Laws all by itself. Offering Thanks to G-d for one. Washing of the hands was not one of the 613 Laws. So Yeshua didn’t really care about it. It was a fence built around the Holy Prayers and the Sanctity of the time of having a meal. And Yeshua said: OK I’ll do it when I can, it’s a good idea, but it’s not the Law!
So, when you hear a Preacher talking about the Traditions of man making the Law of non effect, ask him what traditions he’s talking about.
