Yeshua Fills Full the "Law/Instructions" and the Prophets

Every week when we read through the scripture portions we are told to look for Yeshua, as He himself told us that He filled them full. Recently I have come across a wonderful website where a woman named Rimona Frank gives Hebrew insights to the different Torah portions. It's called appropriately Hebrew Insights. Here's what I learned this week from her blog.

In Exodus 28:30 Moses was told to "put the Urim and Thummim into the breast plate of judgement: and they shall be on the heart of Aaron in his going before the face of YHVH. And Aaron shall bear the judgment of the sons of Israel on his heart before the face of YHVH continually".

The Hebrew root for Urim means light (in the plural form) and the Hebrew root for Thummim means "integrity, perfect, complete, entirety, and finished". So essentially "light and perfection, or completion".
Does this fit the description of our Messiah, Yeshua?

As well, these items are to be on the heart of Aaron in his going before the face of YHVH. We too, need to have this "light" and "perfection" (Yeshua) on/in our hearts before going before the face of YHVH.

The first letters in the words Urim and Thummim in Hebrew are the Aleph and Tav. The beginning and the end. The word that was in the beginning. The word that was in YHVH and the word that was YHVH. Pretty cool stuff.

Thank you Yeshua for being my Urim and Thummim so that I can come before the face of YHVH.
