It is Not Only the Rabbis Who Threatened Israel

IN my previous post, I showed how the Rabbis threatened Israel by proclaiming a death penalty for those who do not keep the rabbinic testament and new phoney laws.

They also blasphemed the Torah, which explicitly says  in Deut 30:9-10 that we need only keep the Written law.

However, they follow in a tradition of other blasphemers who threatened Israel and mocked the words of God.

In the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah,  Sennacherib king of Assyria besieged the fortified cities of Judah, and sent his general, RabShakeh to threaten Jerusalem and Hezekiah.

in 2 Kings 18 we see how he threatened and blasphemed:

"28 Then Rab-shakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spoke, saying: 'Hear ye the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.
29 Thus saith the king: Let not Hezekiah beguile you; for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand; 
30 neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying: The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria."


Sennacherib and RabShakeh, like the Rabbis , also  denied the Torah and made up their own law, with threats of punishment for those who did not obey. 

The answer that God gave to the prophet Isaiah coudl also be instructional on how to deal with the threats of the rabbis:

2 Kings 19:

6 And Isaiah said unto them: 'Thus shall ye say to your master: Thus saith the LORD: Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.

7 Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.



The rabbis, like Sennacherib, make violent threats against Israel to claim power. It was this violence of the Pharisees which destroyed the 2nd Temple.

The TeNaKh advises us on how to respond to the Rabbis when they make their unfounded threats against Israel.
