The Truth of Genesis: The Sad Truth of Christianity and Judaism – Breaking God’s Covenant
This is the fifth chapter of seven of the series. Since I’m finding more to expound upon than I had planned, we may have to go to chapter eight. These are not written out in advance.
As revealed last time, the moadim of Passover and Unleavened Bread were instituted with the “death of the first born” in Egypt. At Mt. Sinai, the Hebrew language, the Day of Pentecost, and the Day of Trumpets, were instituted. While in the wilderness, the Day of Atonement would be instituted after the creation of the Ark of the Covenant. The moadim of First Fruits and Tabernacles would be instituted after arriving in the Promised Land.

Early on at Mt. Sinai, Yehovah entered into a blood covenant with Israel. God had to do certain things, and Israel had to do (and not do) certain things. Moses sprinkled the people with animal blood after the people agreed to obey the commandments of Yehovah, and be His priests to the rest of the nations.
Whichever party broke the covenant would have to die, or find a willing innocent party to die in their place. In less than two months, Israel broke the covenant.
Every year on the Day of Atonement, the blood of bulls and sheep had to be sprinkled on the East End of the Arc of the Covenant, for the forgiveness of sins of the people, and as a temporary perpetual place holder for the death penalty that would eventually have to be paid.
Meanwhile, God promised Moses that He would raise up a Prophet from among the sons of Israel, like unto Moses (a Levite). About 500 years later, Yehovah would promise King David that his offspring would sit on the throne and rule forever. Daniel was told that the Messiah would appear 483 years after the commandment was given to restore Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple. All three were the same person, Yeshua.
Israel entered the Promised Land in 1558 BC. There were six years of conquest, and 450 years of provincial rule by judges. Saul became king in 1102 BC, and ruled for forty years.
One of the things he did wrong (in 1077 BC), was to allow the people to stop giving the land rest from planting once every seven years, as commanded by Yehovah (Leviticus 25:3-5). By the year 587 BC, 490 years had passed without the land having rest. So Israel (Judah) was enslaved in Babylon for 70 years, so that the land could then have rest.
The united kingdom had split in 982 BC, with the northern ten tribes keeping the name “Israel”, and the tribes of Judah & Benjamin becoming the southern kingdom, with the name of “Judah”. The northern kingdom was conquered and disseminated in 722 BC, by Assyria.
While in Babylon, certain “cults” arose within Judaism, such as the Pharisees, and Sadducees. The (ungodly) Talmud was written, as a supplement to the (oral) Torah, where extra, needless, unnecessary, and in some cases foolish rules and customs were “written into” Jewish life.
These were like the traditions you now see, such as the long hair locks, black attire, the Kippah, the ritual of washing the hands, and others that Yeshua often fought against (Mark 7:1-7, John 2:6-10, John 5:6-11), many times making the Pharisees angry by exposing their laws as being manmade and pointless.
