This morning was like so many others since I became a seeker of Truth sometime ago, like back in 2007 after hearing, 'Are you ready to take My yoke upon you and learn of Me?' to which my immediate answer was, "Yes LORD!" Mat. 11:26-30. Early this morning I heard, having ears that hear as given to the learned of the LORD, (this in Isaiah 50:4 which states this: "The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season[1] to him that is weary: He wakens morning by morning, He wakens mine ear to hear as the learned."). Today is no different than many others of late, the word I heard was, "disannul." Why am I so intimate about such a word or maybe a phrase used within the context of scriptures? It seems that Paul was miffed at or with Peter about the matter of the Mosaic Law and its effects on those who had turned to Christ through the proclamation of Jesus' work, as described in Matthew 5:17. This covers Galatians 2:15 through the rest of Galatians.
Now for the word [1]"a word in season" it is also part of my commission of 2Timothy 4:1-5 in particular verses 2-5 ["Preach the word; Be instant in season, out of season; Reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; But after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned to fables. But watch in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry."] So I am fulfilling my calling herein.) Which caused me some confusion and difficulties at first, because I am not a good reader or speller as I am not a English major by any means, so it requires me to do many a searches of letter combinations until I got it right spelling. Then once I had it right, I came to the search of this word in my e-Sword program to find it either in the OT or the NT, alone with its meanings in the LXX and the Strong's word dictionary of Hebrew (H) and Greek (G) words, with the NT word I through in the Thayer's definition for good measure. The following is the list of passages where it can be located, that I found:
Job 40:8 Will you also disannul (H6565) my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be righteous?
Isaiah 14:27 For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who shall disannul (6565) it? For His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
Galatians 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of GOD in Christ, the law (spoken to Abraham as a promise, Gen. 15:18, 17:7-8, 19), which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul (G208, G3756), that it should make the promise of none effect.
Now with this in mind look again at the teachings of Paul where he makes reference to the law of the OT. Because like others I have also thought of it as being that of the Mosaic Law of condemnation from which there is no escape, it being covered in the first five books of his writings as the established standard for all of Israel. It coming after the that of promise, overlooked by man's religion's, given to Abraham and then covered by Paul in Galatians 3 and anywhere he used the word "law." He speaking solely by the Holy Spirit. No one considers a promise made and fulfilled (made replete) in Christ, covered in Genesis 12-17, 1Chron. 1:27 and Neh. 9:7.
Now for H6565 from the LXX and then the Strong's of the OT language:
Strongs #6565: AHLB#: 1388-B (V)
1388) Rp% (Rp% PR) ac: Tread co: Bull ab: Fruitful: The pictograph p is a picture of an open mouth, the r is a picture of a head. Combined these mean "open the head"**[Isa. 53:5, Rom. 12:1-2; Ps. 51:10, Eze. 18:31, 36:26, Rom. 12:1-2 [renewing of the mind], 2Cor. 5:17, Eph. 4:22-24, Col. 1:21-22, 3:10 and Tit. 3:5]. The heads of grains are scattered on the threshing floor, a smooth, hard and level surface. An ox is lead around the floor crushing the heads, opening them to reveal the seed inside. Also the fruit of trees that harvested. (eng: bull - with the exchange of the b and p and the l and r; fruit, also other fruits with a "pr" such as pear and apricot)

Now for the gospel of Galatians 3:
By Faith, or by Works of the Law?
Gal 3:1-9, 10-14, 15-29 O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ has been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received you the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh? Have you not suffered so many things in vain? If it be yet in vain. He therefore that ministers to you the Spirit, and worked miracles among you, does he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Even as Abraham believed GOD, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know you therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that GOD would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel to Abraham, saying, "'In you shall all nations be blessed.'" So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
The Righteous Shall Live by Faith
Gal 3:10-14 For as many as are of the works of the Law are under [Deu. 11:26-28, 29:20; Isaiah 43:28] the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continues not in all things which are written in the books of the Law to do them. For no man is justified by the Law in the sight of GOD, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.[Rom. 1:17, Heb. 10:38] And the Law is not of faith: but, The man that does them shall live in them (self condemnation).[Lev. 18:5, Neh. 9:29, Eze. 20:11, 13; Mat. 19:17, Luke 10:25-28, Rom. 10:5-6] Christ having redeemed** [Isa. 53:5, 55:5-7, 10-12, Dan. 9:24, 26, Zec. 13:7; Mat. 26:28, Rom. 3:24-26, 4:25, 8:3-4] us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that is hung on a tree [Deu. 21:23, 1Pet. 2:24, Jos. 10:26-27] That the blessing (the promise, not of the law)[Rom. 4:3-17] of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ [Rom. 10:9-15]; That we might [Rom. 8:9-16, 26-27, 1Cor. 12:13] receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
The Law and the Promise
Gal 3:15-29 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannull's (G114*), or adds thereto. Now to Abraham and his seed were the promise made. He said not, "And to seeds, as of many;" but as of one, that to your seed, which is Christ. And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of GOD in Christ, the law (G3551), which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul (G208), that it should make the promise of none effect. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: for GOD gave it to Abraham by promise. Wherefore then serves the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to Whom the promise was made; And it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, for GOD is one. Is the law then against the promises of GOD? GOD forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by that law. For the scripture have concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe Him. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up until the faith which should afterwards be revealed [1Cor.14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. Heb. 5:9, 12:2 And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation to all them that obey Him;... Looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of GOD.]. Wherefore the (Mosaic) law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. For after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For we are all the children of GOD by His faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized (the new birthing) into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for we are all one in Christ Jesus (G2424). And if you be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Now for the G114* from the Strong's: G114 ἀθετέω atheteō ath-et-eh'-o From a compound of G1 (alpha, as a negative particle) and a derivative of G5087; to set aside, that is, (by implication) to disesteem, neutralize or violate: - cast off, despise, disannul, frustrate, bring to nought, reject. [G5087: τίθημι tithēmi tith'-ay-mee A prolonged form of a primary word θέω theō (which is used only as an alternate in certain tenses); to place (in the widest application, literally and figuratively; properly in a passive or horizontal posture, and thus different from G2476, which properly denotes an upright and active position, while G2749 is properly reflexive and utterly prostrate): - + advise, appoint, bow, commit, conceive, give, X kneel down, lay (aside, down, up), make, ordain, purpose, put, set (forth), settle, sink down.]
G2424 from the Strong's Greek: Ἰησοῦς Iēsous ee-ay-sooce' Of Hebrew origin [H3091]; Jesus (that is, Jehoshua), the name of our Lord and two (three) other Israelites: - Jesus.Ἰησοῦς
Iēsous ee-ay-sooce' Of Hebrew origin [H3091]; Jesus (that is, Jehoshua), the name of our Lord and two (three) other Israelites: - Jesus. [now for H3091: yehôshûa‛ yehôshûa‛ yeh-ho-shoo'-ah, yeh-ho-shoo'-ah From H3068 and H3467 (to be opened wide, or freed; yâsha‛ yaw-shah' A primitive root; properly to be open, wide or free, that is, (by implication) to be safe; causatively to free or succor: - X at all, avenging, defend, deliver (-er), help, preserve, rescue, be safe, bring (having) salvation, save (-iour), get victory.); Jehovah-saves, (is our salvation); Jehoshua (that is, Joshua), the Jewish leader: - Jehoshua, Jehoshuah, Joshua. Compare H1954, H3442.]
This portion is quite lengthy not sure yet if they'll be more. As I need to digest this myself. As our title reflects "Christ within you," we are also in Christ by way of our humble daily practices reflect, by our taking up of our cross as true disciples of the Lord. (Mat. 16:24, Luke 8:34 and Romans 12:1-2 with the benefit of the renewing of our mind.** We abide in Him and He abides within us. John 12:46, 14:16, 15:4, 6-7, 10. Now I have loaded this study with passages of reference and my hope is that you'll take the time to study them. And one more that of Mat. 5:17.
Now comes the "sin conscientiousness" that Romans tells us is inherited as a constant embedded within humanity's being this in Rom. 2:15 and 3:19-20. In other words "No one is above the law" until the knowledge of Christ's conscientiousness is realized within our being. The knowledge of Yeshua....Jesus changes this corrupted mindset as scene above. As GOD perfects His Will within our being. Now comes another question, were the Prophets and the Psalms, these including the Law, that spoke of Christ's fulfilling them and this being so were done way with in His flesh, this providing the open way of the truth and the life (Mat. 5:7, 22:23, John 11:25 and 14). Look at Acts 13:33 and Romans 8:4, 13:8 and Galatians 5:14. To this I wish to add the following: Mat. 27:60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
Mat. 28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
This causing a great opening, just as the hand of GOD did when the temple's holiest-est of places veil was tron asunder. Not once but twice.
I have to credit my e-Sword program and the thoughts of Pastor Hoekstra it contains along with other commentaries.
