There can be only one true religion
by: David Zephaniah
All the fake religions
will come to an end
There are many religions in the world today. All of them but
one are man-made. All of those fake religions have a same pagan theme; an
individual saw a vision or a dream. He claimed that God came to Him in a dream
and told him to create a new religion.
We are talking about Christianity, Islam, Hindu, Atheism, Baha'i,
etc.
All the fake religions did away with God's rules and
ordinances. In addition, they slowly incorporated many pagan practices of the
past and made the religions as easy to follow as possible to attract as many
followers as possible.
One of those major fake religions is the Christianity. The
whole religion is built upon the word of adulterer woman! Christians even took
mistranslated and distorted Jewish Bible and glued it to their book, to create
an impression that it is the same religion. What a brazen deceit!
If people bothered reading the real Jewish Bible, they would
find out that there can be only one Religion. The true religion is not based
about a claim of a person. The whole nation of Israel witnessed God at mount
Saini. At that event God inaugurated the Jewish people as His representatives
forever. They must follow all the ordinances and be as an example to the other
peoples, or else…
In addition, in the following 1400 years, Jews had 71 true Prophets
(there were many fake ones as well) who communicated with God, Who gave
messages, warnings, and instructions to Jewish nation.
All the troubles that befall Israel was foretold right from
the get go at mount Saini.
People change mind and lie every day. God doesn't! He is
perfect (. (צדיק
That is why He is a God. For example; if He were to change His mind one iota,
the laws of the nature and Physics would start to fluctuate and the earth and
the universe would explode in an instant.
I bring you a chapter in Deuteronomy. In this chapter the
Nation of Israel is about to cross the Jordan River to the Promised Land of Israel.
Moses is about to die because he is not allowed to cross. He is speaking a
farewell speech in front of the whole nation.
May this chapter be a wakeup call to some of you. We are not
alone. Someone is watching and recording everything that we say and do. There
is heavy price to pay for those who break Creator's Commandments.
There are unimaginable and splendid rewards await those who
PASS THE TEST OF LIFE.
Deuteronomy 4:5-40
Chapter 4
5. Look! As God, my God, commanded me, I have taught you suprarational commands and rational commands to observe within the land which you are going to enter and possess.
6. And you shall preserve the laws by studying them and perform them. For this is your
key to having wisdom and understanding in the eyes of the nations, who will hear these laws and say, "Only this great nation is a truly wise and understanding people."
7. Which other nation so great that it has a God so close to it, as God our God is near to us whenever we call Him? Foe, whenever we call him in prayer He answers.
8. And which great nation is it that has just statutes and
ordinances, as this entire Torah, which I set before you this day?
9.But beware and watch yourself very well, lest you forget
the things that your eyes saw, and lest these things depart from your heart,
all the days of your life, and you shall make them known to your children and
to your children's children,
10.the day you stood before the Lord your God at Horeb, when
the Lord said to me, "Assemble the people for Me, and I will let them hear
My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days that they live on the
earth, and that they may teach their children.
11. And you approached and stood at the foot of the
mountain, and the mountain burned with fire up to the midst of the heavens,
with darkness, a cloud, and opaque darkness.
12. The Lord spoke to you out of the midst of the fire; you
heard the sound of the words, but saw no image, just a voice.
13. And He told you His covenant, which He commanded you to
do, the Ten Commandments, and He inscribed them on two stone tablets.
14. And the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you
statutes and ordinances (Oral Law), so that you should do them in the land to
which you are crossing, to possess.
15. And you shall watch yourselves very well, for you did
not see any image on the day that the Lord spoke to you at Horeb from the midst
of the fire.
16.Lest you become corrupt and make for yourselves a graven
image, the representation of any form, the likeness of male or female,
17. the likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the
likeness of any winged bird that flies in the heaven,
18. the likeness of anything that crawls on the ground, the
likeness of any fish that is in the waters, beneath the earth.
19.And lest you lift up your eyes to heaven, and see the
sun, and the moon, and the stars, all the host of heaven, which the Lord your
God assigned to all peoples under the entire heaven, and be drawn away to
prostrate yourselves before them and worship them.
20. But the Lord took you and brought you out of the iron
crucible, out of Egypt, to be a people of His possession, as of this day.
21. And the Lord was angry with me because of you, and He
swore that I would not cross the Jordan and that I would not come into the good
land the Lord, your God, is giving you as an inheritance.
22. For I will die in this land; I will not cross the
Jordan. You, however, will cross, and you will possess this good land.
23.Beware, lest you forget the covenant of the Lord your
God, which He made with you, and make for yourselves a graven image, the
likeness of anything, which the Lord your God has forbidden you.
24. For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a zealous
God.
25. When you beget children and children's children, and you
will be long established in the land, and you become corrupt and make a graven
image, the likeness of anything, and do evil in the eyes of the Lord your God,
to provoke Him to anger
(And you will be long established: Heb. וְנוֹשַׁנְתֶּם.
He hinted to them that they would be exiled from it at the end of 852 years,
the gematria, numerical value, of the word וְנוֹשַׁנְתֶּם,
but He exiled them earlier, at the end of 850 years. He did this two years
earlier than the numerical value of וְנוֹשַׁנְתֶּם in order that the prophecy about them
should not be fulfilled “that you shall utterly perish.”(verse 26) This is the
meaning of what is said: "And the Lord ‘hastened’ with the evil and
brought it upon us, for the Lord our God is charitable (צַדִּיק)”
(Dan. 9:14). He was charitable with us for He hastened to bring it [the exile]
two years before its time (San. 38a; Gittin 88a).),
26. I call as witness against you this very day the heaven
and the earth that you will speedily and utterly perish from the land to which
you cross the Jordan, to possess; you will not prolong your days upon it, but
will be utterly destroyed.
27. And the Lord will scatter you among the peoples, and you
will remain few in number among the nations to where the Lord will lead you.
28. And there you will worship gods, man's handiwork, wood
and stone, which neither see, hear, eat, nor smell.
29. And from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you
will find Him, if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
30. When you are distressed, and all these things happen
upon you in the end of days, then you will return to the Lord your God and obey
Him.
31. For the Lord your God is a merciful God; He will not let
you loose or destroy you; neither will He forget the covenant of your fathers,
which He swore to them.
32.For ask now regarding the early days that were before
you, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and from one end of the
heavens to the other end of the heavens, whether there was anything like this great
thing, or was the likes of it heard?
33. Did ever a people hear God's voice speaking out of the
midst of the fire as you have heard, and live?
34. Or has any god performed miracles to come and take him a
nation from the midst of a[nother] nation, with trials, with signs, and with
wonders, and with war and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and
with great awesome deeds, as all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt
before your eyes?
35. You have been shown, in order to know that the Lord He
is God; there is none else besides Him.
(You have been shown: Heb. הָרְאֵתָ
As the Targum [Onkelos] renders it: אִתְחִזֵיתָא, you have been shown. When the Holy One,
blessed is He, gave the Torah, He opened for Israel the seven heavens, and just
as He tore open the upper regions, so did He tear open the lower regions, and
they saw that He is One. Accordingly, it is stated, “You have been shown, in
order to know [that the Lord He is God-there is none else besides Him].”)
36. From the heavens, He let you hear His voice to instruct
you, and upon the earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words
out of the midst of the fire,
37. and because He loved your forefathers and chose their
seed after them, and He brought you out of Egypt before Him with His great
strength,
38. to drive out from before you nations greater and
stronger than you, to bring you and give you their land for an inheritance, as
this day.
39. And you shall know this day and consider it in your
heart, that the Lord He is God in heaven above, and upon the earth below; there
is none else.
40.And you shall observe His statutes and His commandments,
which I command you this day, that it may be well with you and your children
after you, and that you may prolong your days upon the earth which the Lord
your God gives you forever.
