We are to be a spotless bride. In Ephesians 5:27 "That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish." What does without blemish mean? It means to be perfect but not like we think perfect. It comes from the Hebrew word Tamiym. But mature as in wise. So, if we are to be tamiym let's look into His Word and see what would make us mature.
Psa 19:7 The Torah of the YHWH is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the YHWH is sure, making wise the simple.
The Torah is perfect. It makes wise the simple. Makes wise the simple. Simple in hebrew means foolish. Who was foolish? The Five virgins who had no oil. So, to be wise would means to have wisdom and what is our wisdom? Well, YHWH gives the Israelites the Torah and then tells them in Deut. 4:6 "Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people."
Deut. 18:13 "Thou shalt be perfect with the YHWH thy Elohim."
Torah is what makes us a wise, mature bride. Remember in Song of Solomon how it talks about the little sister who has no breasts?
Song of Sol. 8:8 "We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?"
Just like the foolish virgins who are spoken for, they are not wise but simple, no breasts. They will not be a part of the Bride.
1 Kings 8:61 "Let your heart therefore be perfect with the YHWH our Elohim, to walk in His statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day."
1 Kings 11:4 "For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the YHWH his Elohim, as was the heart of David his father."
Solomon turned away from Torah. He had too many wives and he built high places to other gods and burned incense to them. A big no no in YHWH's book. Yeshua came to redeem His Bride for a price but never to do away with Torah. He said that himself. He was the Living Torah. Sin is the transgression of the Law which is Torah. 1 John 3:4. Do away with Torah, the law and you do away with sin. No sin, no need for someone to save you. So no need for a Saviour, no need for Yeshua. Torah is not done away with. It is what makes us wise. It is how we overcome the world. It makes us a peculiar people, a treasure unto Him. We are to overcome by the blood and the Word of our testimony, Rev. 12:11. What is the word of the testimony? The Torah!
