Moses warned that the Israelites would rebel after his death and distort God's teachings. Prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah also warned of religious distortion and false prophets. The original teachings emphasized conditional blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience, equal treatment of Israelites and foreigners, and justice for all. However, scribes later added teachings that favored Israelites over foreigners and justified violence. They no longer taught the true message but distorted words to serve their own interests.
2. What did Moses say about Israel?
What did prophet Isaiah prophesize about Israel?
What did Jesus say about Israel?
Moses warned of the expected turning from the way he has commanded them
Deuteronomy 31:27-29
For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you have been rebellious
against the Lord while I am still alive and with you, how much more will you
rebel after I die! and
For I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly corrupt and to
turn from the way I have commanded you. In days to come, disaster will fall on
you because you will do evil in the sight of the Lord and arouse his anger by
what your hands have made.”
Jews are not the unconditionally chosen people of God; that is wrong according to
the teachings of Moses like Exodus 19:5, Leviticus 18:4-5, Leviticus 26,
Deuteronomy 11:18-20, 11:26-28 , Deuteronomy 28, Deuteronomy 30:15-16 , and
Deuteronomy 30:19, Deuteronomy 32:46-47
Those are the most reiterated and consistent teachings of Torah which teach that the
choice of God and the blessings are conditional ‘blessings for obedience and curses
for disobedience’
3. Moses did not teach that the Jews are the only chosen people; the correct
definition of the chosen people of God as taught by Moses is an open invitation to
each person to be a chosen son of God by obedience, by maintaining justice, by
applying one measure or one law for Jews and Non-Jews, for taking care of the
orphans, the widows, and the strangers
Jewish scholars do not teach the original teachings anymore; they teach the
distorted teachings of Deuteronomy 9:5-6 and Deuteronomy 7:6 in order to claim
that God has chosen them regardless of the condition of obedience
Those claims were not taught by Moses, David, Solomon, Isaiah, or by the
Prophets; those prophets have warned of the wrong teachings
Psalms 4:3 teaches that people are considered as the chosen people of God
because of their obedience, not because of the righteousness of their fathers
God is not biased, Deuteronomy 10:17 teaches that God does not favor as it is
written Who shows no partiality
God favors the obedient son; the measure set by God is: if you obey and do good
deeds to help others then you will be blessed, if you do not obey and do not do
good deeds to help others then you will be cursed
4. The most frequent and the most consistent teachings of the Old Testimony are:
Blessings for obedience and Curses for disobedience.
Deuteronomy 11:26-28 teach See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a
curse - the blessing if you obey the commands of God that I am giving you today; the
curse if you disobey the commands of God and turn from the way that I command
you today
In Deuteronomy 32:46-47 he said to them Take to heart all the words I have
solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to obey
carefully all the words of this law - They are not just idle words for you—they are
your life
Deuteronomy 28:2-6 teach all these blessings will come on you and accompany you
if you obey God: You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. The fruit
of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your
livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. Your basket and
your kneading trough will be blessed. You will be blessed when you come in and
blessed when you go out
In Deuteronomy 30:15-16 Moses taught: See, I set before you today life and
prosperity, death and destruction. - For I command you today to love God, to walk
in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live
and increase
5. In Deuteronomy 10:12-13, Moses said: what does God ask of you but to
fear God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve God with all your
heart and with all your soul, and to observe the LORD's commands and
decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?
The same consistent teachings are also confirmed in Deuteronomy 7:12-16,
Deuteronomy 11:13-15, Deuteronomy 15:5-6 and Leviticus 26
Deuteronomy 29:9 also urges people to follow the law in order to succeed
Therefore, keep the words of this covenant and do them, that you may
prosper in all that you do
Deuteronomy 11:1 Therefore you shall love the LORD your God, and keep
his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments,
always
The true teachings are ‘Do not have two differing measures’, ‘The same
law applies both to the native-born and to the foreigner’, ‘The foreigner
must be treated as your native-born’, ‘You are to have the same law for the
foreigner and the native-born’
6. Examples of the true teachings are in Deuteronomy 25:13-16, Ex
12:49, Leviticus 19:33-37, Leviticus 24:22, Numbers 15:15-16,
Deuteronomy 24:14-15,
Deuteronomy 25:13-15
Do not have two differing weights in your bag—one heavy, one
light. Do not have two differing measures in your house—one
large, one small. You must have accurate and honest weights and
measures
Exodus 12:49 the same law applies both to the native-born and to
the foreigner residing among you.”
Leviticus 19:33-37 when a foreigner resides among you in your land,
do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be
treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were
foreigners in Egypt
Leviticus 24:22 you are to have the same law for the foreigner and
the native-born
7. Numbers 15:15-16 The community is to have the same rules for you and for the
foreigner residing among you; this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to
come.
You and the foreigner shall be the same before the Lord:
The same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the foreigner
residing among you
The distorted teachings: the changed teachings include some additions to restrict justice to
the ‘fellow Israelite’, ‘my people among you’, or ‘Hebrew men or women’
Examples of the additions of ‘fellow Israelite’, ‘my people among you’, ‘Hebrew men
or women are in Deuteronomy 23:19-20, Exodus 22:25, Leviticus 25:35-46, Deuteronomy
15:1-2, 15:7, 15:12
Deuteronomy 23:19-20
Do not charge a fellow Israelite interest, whether on money or food or anything
else that may earn interest. You may charge a foreigner interest, but not a
fellow Israelite
Exodus 22:25 If you lend money to one of my people among you who is needy, do
not treat it like a business deal; charge no interest
8. In verse Exodus 22:25, the words "my people" are added to limit the justice to the Israelites
only
Deuteronomy 15:1-2 At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts. This
is how it is to be done: Every creditor shall cancel any loan they have made to a
fellow Israelite
In verse Deuteronomy 15:1-2, the words "fellow Israelite" are added to limit the justice to
the Israelites only
Deuteronomy 15:12 If any of your people—Hebrew men or women—sell themselves
to you and serve you six years, in the seventh year you must let them go free
In Deuteronomy 15:12, In verse Deuteronomy 15:1-2, the words " your people—Hebrew
men or women" are added to limit the justice to the Israelites only
Instead of the true teaching ‘You shall not murder ‘In Exodus 20:13 and Deuteronomy
5:17
The scribes who glorify defeating their enemies ignored the true teaching and added some
verses to justify the killing like Exodus 23:23, Numbers 31:16-18, Joshua 6:20-21, Judges
15:14-16 and Judges 16:30
Instead of the true and most consistent teachings of ‘blessings for obedience and curses for
disobedience’ in Leviticus 26, Deuteronomy 28, Deuteronomy 11:26-28, Deuteronomy 4:40,
Deuteronomy 6:24-25, Deuteronomy 7:12-15, and Deuteronomy 8, they teach that God has
chosen them regardless of their obedience as in the distorted teachings of Deuteronomy 9:5-6
and Deuteronomy 7:6-8
9. Amos 8:11-12 teach that People will be thirsty for the true word of God but they
will not find it anywhere
Psalm 56:5 teaches All day long they twist my words
Jeremiah 8:8 teaches the lying pen of the scribes has distorted the word of God
Jeremiah 5:30-31 teach that the priests have distorted the religion teachings and that
the people love those distorted teachings
Instead of the consistent and logical teachings like
‘Do not have two differing measures’, ‘The same law applies both to the
native-born and to the foreigner’, ‘The foreigner must be treated as
your native-born’, ‘You are to have the same law for the foreigner and
the native-born’
in Deuteronomy 25:13-16, Exodus 12:49, Leviticus 19:33-35
, Leviticus 24:22, Numbers 15:15-16, Deuteronomy 24:14-15
The biased scribes have ignored those true teachings and inserted some additions to
restrict justice to the ‘fellow Israelite’, ‘my people among you’, or ‘Hebrew men or
women’
They do not teach the original teachings anymore; instead, they teach the
manipulated teachings like
“You may charge a foreigner interest, but not a fellow Israelite”
In Deuteronomy 23:19-20, Exodus 22:25, Deuteronomy 15:1-2, Deuteronomy
15:12
10. Jeremiah warned of the scribes who change the word of God
Jeremiah 8:8-13 “‘how can you say, “We are wise, for we have the law of
the Lord,”
when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?
Since they have rejected the word of the Lord, what kind of wisdom do they
have?
Jeremiah 6:13 warns the priests who are greedy for gain and who practice deceit
Jeremiah 5:30-31 A horrible and shocking thing has happened in the land:
The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my
people love it this way
Jeremiah 23:16 warns of the false teachers who fill people with false hopes
They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord
Jeremiah 23:21 and 14:14 warn of the false teachers who claim that they receive God’s
revelations
I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied
God had not sent them, commanded them, nor spoken to them, but they
prophesied a false vision and the deceit of their heart
11. Ezekiel 13:6 also warns of the religion distortion
They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The Lord saith: and
the Lord hath not sent them
Psalms 62:4 - warns those who take delight in lies
Psalms 78:36-37 also warn of the religion distortion
But then they would flatter him with their mouths, lying to him with their
tongues; their hearts were not loyal to him, they were not faithful to his
covenant
Jude 16 - False teachers often walk according to their lusts, speaking smooth
words, flattering people to gain advantage
Jeremiah 23:32
Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,” declares the Lord.
“They tell them and lead my people astray with their reckless lies, yet I did not
send or appoint them. They do not benefit these people in the least,” declares
the Lord
Jeremiah 23:36
But you must not mention ‘a message from the Lord’ again, because each one’s
word becomes their own message. So you distort the words of the living God
12. Jeremiah 29:9
For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith
the Lord
Other examples of the religion distortion are to add what they like and teach it as the word
of God; Jewish scribes liked to be served by widows, so they made it through the word of
God as in 1 Kings 17:8-24, 2 KINGS 4:8-37, 1 Samuel 25
1 Kings 17:8-24 explain religion to the benefits of the priests. The verses teach that the
widow should serve ‘the man of God’ before feeding her child; if she does, she will be
blessed and her child will be saved
2 KINGS 4:8-37 is also another explanation of religion to the benefits of the priests; the
verses teach that the wealthy women should serve the priests; if they do, their families will
be blessed and their children will be restored to life
Chapter 1 Samuel 25 explains religion to the benefits of the priests? It teaches that wives
of the wealthy men should generously donate to the ‘holy people of God’, and the wealthy
husband should be cursed to death if he rejects to share his wealth? It also teaches that the
wise wife should accept to be a wife to the ‘holey person of God’ after her husband is
cursed to death
Genesis 32:24-30 is also an addition by Jacob’s descendants to glorify Jacob and claim that
he wrestled with God and was saved
13. The verses teach that Jacob was able to wrestle with God; he said to God
"I will not let you go unless you bless me”
Although the true teachings of Deuteronomy 10:17 teach that God does
not favour ‘who shows no partiality’
The descendants of Jacob wanted to glorify him in the name of God; they
added the distorted teaching of Genesis 25:23
“Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you
will be separated;
one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will
serve the younger.”
“Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated” is also added in Malachi 1:2-3
They wanted to say that it is the will of God to choose them regardless of
any condition like good work and true faith. That distorted teaching is
against the true teachings of Moses that God chooses the righteous who
obeys and curses the wicked as the core and the most reiterated teachings
of the old testimony
14. Another example of the religion distortion is Genesis 9:25-27
he said, “Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers.”
He also said, “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Shem!
May Canaan be the slave of Shem. May God extend Japheth’s territory;
may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be the slave of
Japheth.”
That is not the word of the God but added by the descendants of Japheth and Shem to
curse the tribes of Canaan in the name of God. They practiced their evil habits in the
name of God
This cannot be the inspired word of God because God does not curse the son Canaan
for a mistake of the father Ham. Whenever the competing tribes try to curse each
other; they add verses to show that the curse is by God. The true word of God teaches
that the sons are not to be punished for the mistakes of fathers as written in the true
verse of Deuteronomy 24:16
"Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to
death for their parents; each will die for their own sin"
Another example of the distorted religion teachings is written in Genesis 19:30-38 to
curse the tribes of Moabites and Ammonites in the name of God
15. What did prophet Isaiah prophesize about Israel?
Isaiah 30:9-11 warn those require interesting or attractive teachings instead of the strict
Prophet's teachings
That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the
law of God: Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not
unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: Get you out
of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease
from before us
What did prophet Isaiah prophesize about Israel?
Therefore this iniquity shall be to you Like a breach ready to fall, A bulge in a high wall,
Whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant.
Isaiah 30:13
Prophet Isaiah warned that nations will be collapsed if not based on justice:
“It will break in pieces like pottery,
shattered so mercilessly
that among its pieces not a fragment will be found”
Isaiah 30:14
Then he urged them about the right path:
“In repentance and obedience is your salvation”.
16. What did Jesus say about Israel?
Jesus has also reiterated the warnings of Moses and Isaiah to Jews
and urged them to stop boasting about being the chosen or sons of
Abraham.
They answered him, 'Abraham is our father. ' Jesus said to them, 'If
you were Abraham's children, you would be doing what Abraham
did. John 8:39
You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's
desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to
do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he
speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of
lies John 8:44
Jesus has also warned about the collapse of nations that are not
based on justice.
Matthew 7:24-27 and Luke 6:47-49
