The Torah is the foundational revelation about the nature of the Holy One and His redemptive dealings with mankind. Therefore, we
should expect the Torah to address every essential doctrine (II Tim. 3:16), including salvation. However, since the Holy One chose to reveal His plan progressively, the Torah does not present each doctrine in clear, concise, and complete detail. The Torah uses types, shadows and pictures to teach many of its most important lessons. Furthermore, the details of these doctrines are presented piecemeal, in a seemingly random order—here a little, there a little (Isaiah 28:9-10). We must remember that the Torah was a shadow and pattern of good things to come. It was written in this manner so that the Holy One could reveal its mysteries on His timetable (Ephesians 3:1-11). Therefore, when we look to the Torah, we must be aware of a few of its subtleties. With this in mind, let us examine the Torah’s foundational teaching on salvation. It just so happens that the Red Sea Crossing is the Torah’s foundational teaching on salvation through Messiah Yeshua. Join us as we discover the roots of this fascinating doctrine.
