A man who makes a promise but fails to fulfill it is simply being human. But a God who fails to keep his promises is essentially a fraud.

If Jehovah had claimed to be the most powerful god among the other petty gods on planet Earth, he would have been more open to making honest mistakes, learning from them, and gradually improving his natural flaws. Unfortunately, Jehovah is like a pompous, mischievous deck cadet who claims to be the ship’s captain but runs the vessel aground because he does not know what it takes to be a real captain. 

BACKGROUND

Jehovah’s initial attempts to appear friendly with Abram were never sincere, natural, or well-meaning, and his later covenant with him was entirely one-sided and clearly an act of exploitation. It was very similar to the questionable commonwealth pacts that Britain and France made with their poorly informed African colonies, which have remained a yoke of slavery on their African counterparts.

       When the Western colonial powers divided African nations among themselves, they weren’t concerned with creating value for their colonized peoples but with dominating and exploiting the human and mineral resources within their allocated territories. The same was true for the self-seeking, colonial gods of the human world.

       Deuteronomy 32:8-9 states:

“When the Most High [among the earthly gods] assigned lands to the nations, when he divided up the human race, he established the boundaries of the peoples according to the number in his heavenly court [according to the number of the colonizing gods]. For the people of Israel belong to Jehovah; Jacob is his special possession [i.e., the lost descendants of Adam were Jehovah’s allotted share].”

To better understand Jehovah’s hidden motives, one should carefully examine Deuteronomy 32:8-9, which describes how the gods, similar to Western colonial powers in Africa, divided humanity and set boundaries for themselves according to their allotted peoples. Their allotted people belonged to them, not as friends or equals, but as spoils of conquest, possessions, or slaves.

       Jehovah’s initial words of affection to Abram were merely flattering words designed to grab his attention, weaken his family’s defenses, and draw him closer, not for good, but for evil, as he had previously sworn to avenge his humiliating defeat in Eden on Adam’s descendants. Jehovah, the God of Eden, had sworn to Adam and Eve, saying:

“Your nakedness shall be uncovered, and your shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance, and I will spare no man” among your descendants. [Isaiah 47:3]

He also swore to create enmity between Adam’s descendants and the heavenly Christ, who granted them the knowledge of good and evil, contrary to his explicit will. He swore to the heavenly Christ, saying:

“I will put enmity between you and the woman [Eve], and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” [Genesis 3:15]

So, Jehovah initially approached Abram cautiously, unsure of how he would respond, since his relationship with Adam’s family had already been broken long ago after the fateful events in Eden. Then, after gaining Abram’s trust and undivided attention, his subsequent one-sided covenant aimed to help him regain control over the previously liberated descendants of Adam—his allotted possessions or slaves—and ultimately to begin avenging his humiliating defeat by Adam and the heavenly Christ on Abraham and his unsuspecting descendants, all while pretending to be their protector and best friend.

JEHOVAH’S BLATANT BETRAYAL OF HIS COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM

The Hebrew Scriptures depict Abraham as Jehovah’s special friend and as a man whose unwavering loyalty and faith earned him divine favor. Jehovah himself declared Abraham ‘righteous’ and promised to bless him and his descendants, establishing an eternal covenant that would grant them land, prosperity, protection, and peace. He said to him:

“And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse; and by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves.” [Genesis 12:2-3]

The Greater Promised Land that Jehovah described to Abraham,

According to Genesis 15:18-21

Jehovah repeatedly described the land he promised to give to Abraham and his descendants as “a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey.” He even specified the official boundaries of the so-called Promised Land, and it was indeed broad. That is what is today referred to as the Greater Israel—but only on paper. Abraham trusted Jehovah completely, and the Torah reports:

“On that day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, ‘To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphra’tes, the land of the Ken’ites, the Ken’izzites, the Kad’monites, the Hittites, the Per’izzites, the Reph’aim, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Gir’gashites and the Jebusites.” [Genesis 15:18-21]

Descendants of Abraham, especially Moses and the Jewish people during the Exodus, understood that Jehovah, their God, was freeing them from Egypt, the land of suffering, pain, and slavery, to a land of abundance, peace, and prosperity. However, the so-called Promised Land turned out to be a monumental fraud. He intentionally prevented Moses from setting foot on the so-called “good and broad land” because it did not exist, and because he knew Moses would have been utterly disappointed. Then his grand evil scheme would have been exposed too early.

Although Abraham, for his part, gave everything—his spiritual dignity, his faith, his loyalty, even his willingness to sacrifice his son—Jehovah never fulfilled his promises to him. When viewed through the lens of the Torah narratives and the subsequent history of the Jewish people, Jehovah’s covenant with Abraham appears more like a curse than a blessing.

    Instead of receiving security, peace, and abundance, Abraham’s descendants have continually faced enslavement, exile, wandering, pogroms, genocide, perpetual suffering, and widespread hatred. Jehovah promised them a blessing but gave them a curse; he swore to provide them with everlasting protection but delivered everlasting persecution.

       No matter how one perceives the Jewish question, Jehovah’s consistently vengeful and harsh treatment of Abraham and his descendants constitutes a profound betrayal of his solemn covenant rather than an act of divine faithfulness. This makes him an enemy of the Jewish people rather than their friend.

SLAVERY IN EGYPT: FIRST BREACH OF THE COVENANT

While still promising ‘heaven and earth’ to Abraham, Jehovah told him that he would subject his yet-to-be-born descendants to 400 years of captivity in a foreign land. That harsh declaration alone was a complete betrayal of the covenant. Or what kind of “covenant of blessings” begins with bitter and endless bondage? He said to him:

“You can be sure that your descendants will be strangers in a land where they will be oppressed as slaves for 400 years.” [Genesis 15:13]

The book of Exodus describes the Israelites suffering under “ruthless” oppression in Egypt. It states:

“So, they [the Egyptians] made the people of Israel serve with rigor, and made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and brick, and in all kinds of work in the field; in all their work they made them serve with rigor.” [Exodus 1:13-14]

The centuries-long ordeals of Abraham’s descendants in Egypt marked the first major violation of the covenant. How could a God who vowed to bless Abraham’s descendants justify orchestrating their systematic humiliation in foreign captivity? No act of betrayal is ever justifiable.

       Well, the Scripture assures us that, unlike Jehovah, the God of Abraham, our loving Heavenly Father always gives perfect gifts. Sending the heavenly Christ to enlighten, redeem, and grant eternal life to the lost sons of Adam and, indeed, to all captive human spirits in the world, is a perfect gift from the Father, who is Light and Love. Therefore, the Scripture states:

“Every good endowment and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” [James 1:17]

Therefore, we can be certain that Jehovah, the God of Abraham, is not the Father but the Devil himself, whose blessings are always mingled with tears, sorrow, pain, and bitterness.

WILDERNESS WANDERING AND MASSACRE: FROM PHYSICAL SLAVERY TO SPIRITUAL BONDAGE

While falsely claiming to have rescued the battered and humiliated descendants of Abraham from physical captivity in Egypt, Jehovah personally led them into the harrowing wilderness, not to restore their human dignity but to further subject them to an even harsher divine captivity. There, he also swore to annihilate the entire generation he led out of Egypt, and he did.

       As usual, Moses relayed Jehovah’s evil decree to the people:

“‘As I live,’ says Jehovah, … ‘your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and of all your number, numbered from twenty years old and upward, … not one shall come into the land where I swore that I would make you dwell, except Caleb the son of Jephun’neh and Joshua the son of Nun.’” [Numbers 14:28-30]

For a full 40 years, Jehovah continued to starve, torment, horrify, and degrade the helpless population until he had massacred the entire generation of Israelites he brought out of Egypt. What kind of savior rescues only to slaughter? Clearly, the heavily stage-managed “deliverance fanfare” in Egypt was merely a publicity stunt meant to enable him to declare himself a Savior. However, it was not true deliverance but a transition from physical slavery to spiritual bondage.

       Again, Moses explained the true reason behind Jehovah’s harsh tactics; why he had to enslave, torment, and brutally massacre his own sheep. He says:

“And you shall remember all the way which Jehovah your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, testing you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.”

This outrageous excuse, instead of justifying Jehovah for breaking his solemn covenant with Abraham, proved that he was a fraud. Torturing the Israelites “to know what was in their heart, whether they would keep his commandments, or not,” meant that he was utterly limited. He did not know what was in their hearts. If he were the true God, he would be all-knowing.

       Even after his extreme brutality against the Jewish Exodus, Jehovah continued to torment the lost sons of Adam, even to this day. Yet he still cannot understand what they have in their hearts, and nothing he does makes them want to return to following his obnoxious Mosaic ordinances, statutes, and commandments.

MOSES AND AARON USED AND DISCARDED UNCEREMONIOUSLY

Moses was the most faithful servant of Jehovah throughout history. He was the only mediator of the covenant between him and the vulnerable descendants of Abraham. He was also the only one who controlled Jehovah’s habitual rage. Without Moses, the Jewish Exodus would have failed before it even started because Jehovah was always wrathful and openly eager to carry out his sworn vengeance on the fallen sons of Adam.

       Remarkably, Jehovah spoke very highly of Moses. He had this to say about him:

“The man Moses was very meek, more than all men that were on the face of the earth.” [Numbers 12:3]

“My servant Moses; he is entrusted with all my house. With him I speak mouth to mouth, clearly, and not in dark speech; and he beholds the form of [he sees] Jehovah.” [Numbers 12:7-8]

“Thus,” the Scripture confirms that “Jehovah used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend.” [Exodus 33:11]

Even after faithfully leading the Israelites out of Egypt and mediating the crucial covenant between him and the people who never trusted him, Jehovah still refused Moses entry into the so-called Promised Land. Jehovah only showed him some areas of the land from the top of “Mount Nebo, on the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho,” and said to him:

“This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there.” So, Moses the servant of Jehovah died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of Jehovah, and he [personally] buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth-pe’or.” [Deuteronomy 34:5-6]

Aaron faced the same fate as Moses after all his troubles and faithful service to Jehovah’s evil cause. True to his habit of blaming others for his inadequacies and failures, he accused Moses and Aaron of disobedience, just as he once did to Adam and Eve in Eden.

     “Moses struck the stone at Meribah instead of speaking to it to yield water for the Israelites.” That was the flimsy excuse Jehovah used to discredit Moses, the very man who single-handedly kept his reckless, violent, and destructive temper in check on numerous occasions during the ill-fated Exodus. What a fraud of a God! And just because of that, he told Moses and Aaron:

“Because you did not believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the people of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.” [Numbers 20:12]

What kind of covenant punishes loyalty with deprivation, humiliation, and death? Since Jehovah could so unceremoniously discard the two most important leaders of the ill-fated Jewish Exodus—men who selflessly devoted their lives to serving him—what confidence could ordinary Israelites have in Jehovah’s covenant promises? Jehovah’s treatment of Moses and Aaron highlighted another pattern of his betrayal of the entire covenant.

THE SO-CALLED PROMISED LAND: A BATTLEFIELD OF RUIN

Jehovah’s covenant swore to give Abraham’s descendants a “good and broad land, flowing with milk and honey.” But the so-called Promised Land turned out not to be a land of abundance, peace, and prosperity, but one of endless warfare and bloodshed. What kind of covenant guarantees peace but delivers bloodshed?

The Promised Land that Jehovah described to Moses,

According to Numbers 34:1-12 and Ezekiel 47:13-21

Jehovah did not tell Abraham that his descendants would have to fight endless wars and sacrifice their own blood to claim the land, nor that it would become a perpetual battlefield where Israel’s survival would constantly be at risk. In any case, he was never able to give them the entire land he promised. As usual, he shamelessly made excuses, blaming the Israelites for his own infidelity and personal failures, believing that his excuses were just as good as fulfilling his promises.

       As usual, the Scripture states that Jehovah’s anger was kindled against Israel, and he said:

“‘Because this people have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not obeyed my voice, I will not henceforth drive out before them any of the nations that Joshua left when he died, that by them I may test Israel, whether they will take care to walk in the way of Jehovah as their fathers did, or not.’ So, Jehovah left those nations, not driving them out at once, and he did not give them into the power of Joshua.” [Judges 2:20-23]

“So now I say, I will not drive them out before you; but they shall become adversaries to you, and their gods shall be a snare to you.” [Judges 2:3]

Indeed, historical records reveal repeated cycles of foreign invasions, conquests, domination, and exile of the Israelites. Assyrian exile, Babylonian captivity, Persian rule, Greek oppression, and Roman conquest all represented periods of subjugation that mocked Jehovah’s promise of divine protection.

       Even the Jewish Temple, which was supposed to be Jehovah’s dwelling place, was burned to the ground in 70 AD by the Roman army led by Titus, and he could not prevent it. If Jehovah’s covenant truly guaranteed land and protection, these disastrous events exposed him as a complete failure, making him not God Almighty but a pathetic fraud.

HISTORICAL CATASTROPHES BEYOND THE BIBLICAL ERA

Jehovah’s betrayal did not end with the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD. During the Roman occupation and after the destruction of Jerusalem and the Jewish Temple, the Jewish people were forcibly scattered into exile—a dispersion that lasted nearly two thousand years.

       The Jewish people endured terrible suffering at the hands of the Crusaders, the Inquisition, and Christian mobs in Europe. They faced pogroms, forced conversions, expulsions, and massacres throughout Europe and the Middle East. The Holocaust, the most horrific atrocity of modern times, claimed six million Jewish lives in an industrialized genocide while Jehovah remained silent.

       These unprecedented atrocities against Abraham’s descendants shattered any remaining illusion of divine protection. Even today, antisemitism persists and worsens worldwide, raising the question: What happened to Jehovah’s promise to bless and protect Abraham’s descendants?

       The Jewish people were only able to return to a small part of the land they once inhabited before 70 AD, within the larger territory of the so-called Promised Land. This return happened in 1948, following the adoption of the UN General Assembly’s Partition Plan of 1947.

UNGA Partition Plan of 1947

The map shows that the Jewish State was completely excluded, not only from Judea and Samaria, which are the core regions of ancient Israel, but also from Jerusalem—the historic City of King David.

       The plan allocated roughly 55% of the British-controlled Mandate Palestine territory to the proposed Jewish state and 42% to the proposed Arab state. The Jews publicly accepted the plan, but the Palestinian Arabs and neighboring Arab states rejected it, resulting in immediate violence and the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

       To this day, Israel has never experienced a pause in wars and armed conflicts with the Palestinian Arabs and neighboring Arab and Muslim nations in the Middle East, which seek not only the outright destruction of the State of Israel but also the complete annihilation of the Jewish people worldwide.

       Below is the chronological outline of the major wars and armed conflicts between Israel and its Arab/Muslim neighbors since 1948:

DATE	WAR	OPPONENTS	RESULT

JEHOVAH: A COVENANT-BREAKING VILLAIN

Jehovah’s covenant with Abraham, hailed as eternal and unbreakable, has been repeatedly broken by him. From Egypt to the wilderness, from Babylon to Auschwitz, Abraham’s descendants faced degradation and destruction under the shadow of divine promises that never came true. To call this relationship a covenant of blessing is not just misleading — it is outrageous. The tragic story of Israel is not evidence of divine faithfulness but of divine betrayal, a betrayal written in blood across Jewish history.

Present shrunken map of Israel (A far cry from Jehovah’s Promised Land)

To understand Jehovah’s true intentions toward Abraham and his descendants, it is essential to recognize that he was the same oppressive God of Eden who deliberately kept Adam and Eve from knowing the Father and his offer of eternal life. He forbade the “Tree of Knowledge” and the “Tree of Eternal Life” for them. But with the help of the heavenly Christ, Adam and Eve defeated and humiliated Jehovah in Eden, leading to the sudden and permanent collapse of his false Edenic paradise.

       The unrepentant villain refused to accept his defeat graciously but vowed to seek revenge on Adam’s descendants. Abraham and his descendants are descendants of Adam, while the “Tree of Knowledge” and the “Tree of Eternal Life” symbolize Jesus Christ and his Heavenly Father.

       Jehovah deliberately created his dishonest covenant with Abraham and his descendants as a complex tool of revenge. It was a planned scam meant to help him manipulate and control the lost sons of Adam, his sworn enemy.

       Although Jehovah’s covenant promised mundane earthly things, he had no real intention of fulfilling it. Instead, he planned to use it as a trap to lure and permanently maintain his oppressive grip on his unsuspecting enemies. His actions clearly show that he sees and treats Abraham’s descendants as enemies. Moreover, Jehovah has nothing of spiritual value to offer anyone.

       Jehovah’s covenant was a classic “Ponzi scheme,” built on lies, shameful excuses, and betrayal. Promising to give Abraham and his descendants “a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey,” while usurping their family heritage in the spiritual blessings of the Father and their redeeming heavenly Messiah, Jesus Christ, was just a scam. He never intended to fulfill the promise because such a land does not exist anywhere on this harsh and unstable Earth.

JEHOVAH IS A SERIAL SCAMMER

Jesus Christ attempted to reveal Jehovah's true nature to the Jewish people, but they refused to listen. Many times, they tried to stone him to death, and they eventually succeeded in crucifying him. However, not before he had plainly told them that Jehovah was both a bloodthirsty murderer and a chronic liar. He said to them:

“You are of your father [Jehovah] 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]

While still lying through his teeth and offering shameful excuses to cover his unfulfilled promises to the Israelites, the same master scammer is already promising Muslims, the ill-informed descendants of Ishmael, eternal paradise—some imaginary “Gardens of Eden, underneath which rivers flow.” Many surahs and ayahs of the Quran speak of Jehovah/Allah’s ultimate rewards for Muslims in the Hereafter, for those who fight his cause on Earth “with their wealth and their lives.” They say:

“And the first to lead the way, of the Muha’jirin and the Ansar [early Muslims and their supporters], and those who followed them in goodness, Allah is well pleased with them and they are well pleased with Him and He hath made ready for them Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That is the supreme triumph.” [Quran: 9:100]

“As for such, theirs will be Gardens of Eden, wherein rivers flow beneath them; therein they will be given armlets of gold and will wear green robes of finest silk and gold embroidery, reclining upon thrones therein. Blest the reward, and fair the resting place!” [Quran 18:31]

“Gardens of Eden, whereof the gates are opened for them. Wherein, reclining, they call for plenteous fruit and cool drink (that is) therein. And with them are those of modest gaze, companions.” [Quran 38:50-52]

Like the gullible Israelites, the misinformed Ishmaelites have blindly accepted Jehovah/Allah’s dishonest promises. He used his false promises to lead the Israelites into an endless cycle of wars and conflicts with their neighbors. He is doing the same to the Ishmaelites in the name of a fictitious paradise that doesn’t exist anywhere in reality.

       Because of Allah’s false promises, misguided Muslims are currently causing chaos, damaging the very foundations of true humanity, and hurting themselves and others in the process. They aim to forcibly Islamize the entire world to make Jehovah/Allah the ultimate Lord, King, and God of all humankind. This, in fact, shows that Allah lacks the power to accomplish this without the help of barbaric Islamists. Believing that helping Allah destroy civilized humanity is a noble mission deserving divine reward in a fictional paradise is pure insanity. It’s like a fool sitting on a small branch of a tall iroko tree and sawing it off himself.

       Isn’t it sinister that the same God of Abraham, who is God to both the Jews and the Arabs, chose to set them against each other? Surely, he does not mean to guide and bless, but rather to distract and mislead them. His true aim is to keep them permanently occupied with endless wars and armed conflicts, thereby diverting them from spiritual pursuits that lead to ultimate spiritual freedom, rebirth, and eternal life in the Father’s true Heavenly Paradise.

       Meanwhile, the Quran clearly states Jehovah/Allah’s ultimate intention, saying:

“He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no road.” [Quran 42:46]

“And if [Jehovah/Allah] thy Lord had willed, he verily would have made mankind one nation, yet they cease not differing, save him on whom thy Lord hath mercy; and for that he did create them. And the Word of [Jehovah/Allah] thy Lord hath been fulfilled: Verily I shall fill hell with the jinn and mankind together.” [Quran 11:118-119]
