From Genesis to Revelation, and throughout the writings of the prophets and ancient Hebrew/Jewish literature, Yah reveals a future in which sin, rebellion, suffering, and death will finally come to an end. Through the reign of Messiah Yeshua, the Torah will be written upon the hearts of humanity, all people will know Yah, and righteousness will fill the earth forever.
The Problem of Sin
“Everyone who keeps sinning is violating Torah — indeed, sin is violation of Torah.” (1 John 3:4)
There are
many ways that sin has been defined throughout the ages by various groups,
however, very few people know the actual biblical definition for sin. Breaking the
commandments of the Torah. While it is true that sin is missing the mark, or
turning down a wrong path, such vague descriptions of sin do a disservice. We
must first be able to recognize sin in order to appreciate the world to come
without it.
Torah
simply means instructions, specifically from Yah Elohim. The very first sin was
the eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, as this was one of the
first instructions we read about. From this very first example, we understand
that sin is disobedience, it is rebelling against the Most High, and making
ourselves/ Hasatan above Yah. For who you listen to, is who you serve.
From the beginning humanity has struggled with sin, but is that our ultimate fate - to be locked in an eternal battle with self-sovereignty and disobedience?
The Prophets Foretold the End of Sin
Daniel
gives us one of the most clearest declarations regarding the abolishment of
sin.
“Seventy weeks are decreed on your people and on your holy city, to finish disobedience, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most set-apart.” (Daniel 9:24)
Notice the
progression of the timeline of events, finish disobedience, end sin, reconcile
iniquity, and then bring everlasting righteousness. The goal is not merely forgiveness
but the establishment of a righteous age.
“You are righteous, Yahweh. Your judgments are upright. You have commanded your statutes in righteousness. They are fully trustworthy.” (Psalms 119:137-138)
The Torah Written on Every Heart
This age
of righteousness is expounded upon by Jeremiah.
“For this is the covenant I shall make with the house of Yisra’ĕl (Israel) after those days, declares Yahweh: I shall put My Torah in their inward parts, and write it on their hearts. And I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be My people. “And no longer shall they teach, each one his neighbor, and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know Yahweh,’ for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares Yahweh. “For I shall forgive their crookedness, and remember their sin no more.” (Jeremiah 31:33-34)
Today we teach other “Know Yahweh”, but Jeremiah foresaw a day when such instructions will no longer be necessary. Because, we shall all “Know Yahweh”, from the least to the greatest. This is perhaps one of the greatest promises in Scripture. The struggle between flesh and obedience will be replaced by a people who naturally delight in Yahweh's Torah.
Ancient Witnesses to the Same Hope
The books
of Enoch and Jubilees echo this expectation. From 1 Enoch 92 we read that sin
will perish forever.
“And the righteous one shall arise from sleep, [Shall arise] and walk in the paths of righteousness, and all his path and conversation shall be in eternal goodness and grace. He will be gracious to the righteous and give him eternal uprightness, And He will give him power that he shall be (endowed) with goodness and righteousness. And he shall walk in eternal light. And sin shall perish in darkness forever, and shall no more be seen from that day for evermore.” (1 Enoch 92:3-5)
From Enoch
100, that wickedness will be brought to an end.
“In those days the angels shall descend into the secret places and gather together into one place all those who brought down sin And the Most High will arise on that day of judgement to execute great judgement amongst sinners. And over all the righteous and holy He will appoint guardians from amongst the holy angels to guard them as the apple of an eye, Till He maketh an end of all wickedness and all sin, and though the righteous sleep a long sleep, they have naught to fear.” (1 Enoch 100:4-5)
From Enoch
107, that transgression will be destroyed from the earth.
“And I saw written on them that generation upon generation shall transgress, till a generation of righteousness arises, and transgression is destroyed and sin passes away from the earth, and all manner of good cometh upon it.” (1 Enoch 107:1)
And finally,
from Jubilees 23, humanity will live in peace and joy without an adversary.
“They will complete and live their entire lifetimes peacefully and joyfully. There will be neither a satan nor any evil one who will destroy. For their entire lifetimes will be times of blessing and healing.” (Jubilees 23:29)
A powerful observation is that these writings do not merely describe forgiven sinners; they describe a transformed creation where sin itself has vanished. No longer will sinning be a possibility. The Torah will be written on our hearts, the adversary destroyed, and the sinful inclinations of the flesh put to an end once and for all.
The Role of Messiah Yeshua
Yeshua did
not come to abolish the Torah but to establish righteousness.
“Do not think I came to abolish the Torah or the words of a prophet, but to establish. Although the heavens and the earth will cease, not even a letter or one dot from the Torah will cease, but be established” (Matthew 5:17-18)
“The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” (1 John 2:4)
Knowing Yahweh and obeying Yahweh are inseparable. The New/Renewed
Covenant promise is therefore not Torah removal but Torah internalization. Yeshua's
kingdom ultimately produces what the Torah always pointed toward: a people who
love Yahweh wholeheartedly and walk in His ways.
A Future Without Sin
Imagine a world with:
- No temptation.
- No oppression.
- No war.
- No corruption.
- No broken families.
- No violence.
- No sickness.
- No death.
- No rebellion against Yahweh.
Instead:
- Every heart loves the Creator.
- Every neighbor walks in
righteousness.
- Every nation knows Yahweh.
- The Torah is universally honored.
- Messiah reigns in justice and
peace.
This is the future anticipated by the prophets.
Conclusion
The struggle against sin can often feel endless. Every generation has witnessed wickedness, injustice, and rebellion against Yahweh. Yet the Scriptures consistently point us toward a glorious future beyond the present age. Yahweh has not destined creation to remain trapped in sin forever. Through Messiah Yeshua, He is bringing history toward its appointed conclusion—a day when transgression is finished, sin is ended, and everlasting righteousness fills the earth. The Torah will be written upon every heart. Every person will know Yahweh. Wickedness will vanish like darkness before the rising sun. The adversary will no longer deceive, and the righteous will dwell in peace and joy. For those who love Yahweh and seek His kingdom, this is our blessed hope: not merely that our sins are forgiven today, but that one day sin itself will be no more.
