7. Why are Jews protected in Islamic countries as “the people of the book.”
1. 2 Chronicles 15:13 explained.
In 2 Chronicles 15:12 all the Hebrews voluntarily make a covenant to seek the God of their fathers
In 2 Chronicles 15:13 all the Hebrews voluntarily swear an oath that whoever among them does not seek God will be put to death.
This is not about killing anyone who never believed in God.
This is only about the children of Israel who are giving their word to follow God to their death.
In 2 Chronicles 15:19 there were no wars for 35 years because the Hebrews had sworn this strong oath in 2 Chronicles 15:13 to seek God to their death.
This fulfils the prophecy that God is with those who seek God in 2 Chronicles 15:2 and 2 Chronicles 15:8 meaning God prevented war for 35 years because of the strong oath all the Hebrews voluntarily gave to seek only God.
2 Chronicles 15:12 And they (the Jews) entered into the covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul; .
2 Chronicles 15:13 and that whosoever (among them, the Jews) would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small (a Jewish servant) or great (a Jewish king), whether (a Jewish) man or (a Jewish) woman.
Note 1. The Hebrews swear to seek God until their death.
2 Chronicles 15:16 And they swore to the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with horns.
2 Chronicles 15:19 And there was no more war to the thirty fifth year of the reign of King Asa.

2. Psalm 56:5 explained.
Quran 6:115 Koran 6:115 ”… No one can change His (God’s) Words …”
However sometimes verses are not correctly translated.
Psalm 56:6 (Psalm 56:5 in Christian Bible) All day long my words grieve (me speaking of grief and cries because of my oppressors) all their thoughts are against me for evil.
Note 1. This verse is about the oppression in Psalm 56:2.
Psalm 56:2 Be gracious to me, O God, for man would swallow me up; all day long the warrior (war and fighting) oppresses me.
Note 2. The translation used here is from the Tanakh Jewish Scripture.
Jewish people do not use the Christian produced Old Testament Bible because some contain wrong translations of the Hebrew and sometimes different verse numbers.

3. The stone and the corner stone explained.
Psalm 118:22 explained
Psalm 118:23 explained.
Psalm 118:22 The stone (David) which the builders (Jesse the father of David who did not bring David when he was asked to bring his sons in front of Prophet Nathan was) rejected (because they thought David was too young to be chosen as a king) became the cornerstone (of the kingdom of Israel because God chose David to be the messiah king of Israel).
Psalm 118:23 This is the LORD'S doing (meaning it is what God revealed through Prophet Nathan); it is marvellous in our eyes (meaning the people are happy with what God has decreed in choosing messiah king David).
4. Proverbs 5:15-5:18 explained.
Drink waters out of your own cistern explained.
In Proverbs 5 a father teaches his sons the wisdom of avoiding adultery.
Proverbs 5:15 Drink waters (take knowledge) out of your own cistern (your own container of water meaning the Torah law), and running waters (give knowledge) out of your own well (your own container of water meaning the Torah law).
Proverbs 5:16 Let your springs (knowledge) spread out rivulets (of knowledge) on the streets (to give knowledge to the people).
Proverbs 5:17 Let them (the wisdom that brings honour) be only for you, and not for strangers with you (who would misguide you into adultery and take away your honour).
Proverbs 5:18 Let your fountain (of knowledge) be blessed; and have (the) joy of the wife of your youth (as your partner in life forever).

Note 1. Love in marriage is a sign of God.
Quran 33:2 Koran 33:2 And follow what is revealed to you (Prophet Muhammad) from your Lord (God). God is aware of what you do.
Quran 33:28 Koran 33:28 O Prophet (Muhammad), say to your wives, “If you desire the life of the world and its adornment (instead of life with me) then come I shall provide for you and release you (from our marriage contract) in a good (honourable) manner (if you want a divorce. See Quran 4:34).
Quran 4:34 Koran 4:34 Men are the protectors of women because God has bestowed some of them (the male) over others (the female) and because they (the men) support them (the women) from their wealth. Therefore righteous women are obedient (to God and to their husband) and guard the unseen (their chastity) which God orders them to guard. And those (wives from) whom you (men) fear their bad behaviour then (first) advise them (of what they have done), and (second, if they continue their bad behaviour then) leave them (wives to sleep alone) in the bed (so they might think about what they are doing and so that you might also think about the situation), and (if they continue their bad behaviour then thirdly Quran 33:2 "follow what is revealed to you from your Lord …” and) set forth to them (Quran 33:28 “… Say to your wives, “If you desire the life of the world and its adornment” instead of life with me “then come I shall provide for you and release you” from our marriage contract “in a good” honourable “manner” if you want a divorce). Then if they obey you do not seek against them a way (to hurt them but forgive them and show kindness to them. Fourthly see Quran 2:231, Quran 4:35 and Quran 4:128). God is most high and most great (in importance to every creation. iḍ'rib means strike or set forth. In the Quran did God reveal that men can strike their wives or did God in the Quran set forth what men should say to their wives? Prophet Muhammad did not strike his wives after forsaking them in bed showing this is the wrong understanding of Quran 4:34. Prophet Muhammad separated himself from his wives so that they might think about what they wanted to do and so that he might also think about the situation showing this is the correct understanding of Quran 4:34 so that in Quran 4:34 iḍ'rib means “set forth” to them Quran 33:28. The Quran explains itself through verses scattered in 114 chapters which Quran 39:23 reveal you can find in verses which confirm each other and the Quran asks when you have the word of God in the Quran what other report would you believe? Quran 77:50 “In what statement” words, news, reports, information, message, hadith, “after it” the verses of God in the Quran, “shall they” the humans and the jinn “believe” and this is repeated and explained in Quran 7:185, Quran 25:29, Quran 25:30, Quran 31:6 Quran 39:23 and Quran 45:6. If hadith stories agree with the Quran then accept it and learn from it. If hadith stories do not agree with the Quran then reject it and also learn from it. On the Day of Judgement God judges by the words in the protected Quran. On the Day of Judgement God does not judge by the words in unprotected human hadith stories. The Quran is the protected word of God including the words and actions of Prophet Muhammad which are described and protected by God. In a similar way in the story of the vision dream of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran chapter 37 God only blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and his son Prophet Isaac Ishaq and leaves no other blessings in the story of the sacrifice and this famous vision dream is remembered in the next chapter Quran chapter 38 where God blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq with the vision dream in Quran 38:45 – 38:47 and shows in the next verse that Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not the son in the vision dream and Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not living with his father during the vision dream by blessing Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and without the blessing of the vision dream in Quran 38:48. This is confirmed in Quran 12:6 and in Torah Genesis 22:2 “And God said: Take now your son, your only son” who still lives with you, reminding him that God had earlier taken Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar away from him into God’s care in the desert, “whom you love” God makes the test very hard by demanding his second son and reminding him that this is his only remaining son and reminding him that he already gave God one son and reminding him of his love for these sons, “even” namely, that is “Isaac Ishaq and go into the land of Moriah” today in the Temple and Al-Aqsa mosque area in Jerusalem Al-Quds in Israel and Palestine; “and offer him there for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I God will tell you of.” The proof God is real is the Quran confirming the Torah Taurat is correct in Quran 2:41 “And believe in what I God have revealed” in the Quran “that confirms what you already have” in the Torah Taurat and in Quran 3:93 “… Bring the Torah Taurat here and recite it as evidence if what you say is true" and in Quran 5:43 “How is it that they come to you for judgment when they have the Torah Taurat in which God has already revealed to them judgment …” and Quran 5:68 “… You the Jewish people have nothing until you observe the Torah Taurat …” as explained in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ3o3ybc-KA so hold tightly to what God is teaching in the Quran and beware of stories which contradict the Books of God).
Quran 2:223 Koran 2:223 Your wives are like a field for you (to cultivate children) so approach your field when you like and send forth good for yourselves….”
Quran 30:21 Koran 30:21 And among His (God’s) signs is this, He (God) created mates for you from among you so that you might live happily with them and He (God) has put love and mercy between you (and them). In this are signs (of God) for people who think (about it).
Quran 49:13 Koran 49:13 All humans, We (God) have created you from a male and a female and have made you nations and tribes so that you may know one another. …
6. Nehemiah 8:5-8:8 explained.
The written law and the Oral law explained.
Nehemiah 8:5 And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people--for he was above all the people--and when he opened it, all the people stood up.
Nehemiah 8:6 And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered: 'Amen, Amen', with the lifting up of their hands; and they bowed their heads, and fell down before the LORD with their faces to the ground.
Nehemiah 8:7 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, even the Levites, caused the people to understand the Law; and the people stood in their place.
Note 1. The understanding of the Torah was explained using the oral law.
Nehemiah 8:8 And they read in the book, in the Law of God, distinctly; and they gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
Note 1. The understanding of the Torah was explained using the oral law.
A. Deuteronomy 17:8 - 17:13 says ask the priests about things you do not know or about controversial matters and do what the priests tell you.
Deuteronomy 17:8 If there arise a matter too hard for you in judgment, between blood (ritually clean) and blood (ritually unclean blood in menstruation), between judgement (of innocence) and judgement (of guilty), and between (ritually clean) lesion and (ritually unclean) lesion, words of dispute (controversy) in your cities; then you shall arise, and go up to the place which the LORD your God chooses..
Deuteronomy 17:9 And you shall come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge that shall be in those days (in which you are living); and you shall inquire; and they shall tell you the words of judgment..
Deuteronomy 17:10 And you shall do according to the word they tell you, from that place which the LORD shall choose; and you shall observe to do according to all that they shall teach you..
Deuteronomy 17:11 According to the law which they shall teach you, and according to the judgment which they shall tell you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside from the word which they tell to you, to the right, nor to the left..
Deuteronomy 17:12 And the man that intentionally does not obey the priest that stands to minister there before the LORD your God, or to the judge, that man shall die; and you shall abolish evil from Israel..
Deuteronomy 17:13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and they shall no longer act intentionally (against the commandment of God).
B. What is “you shall afflict your souls?”
The oral Torah (oral law) explains the meaning of “you shall afflict your souls” which is not explained in the written Torah.
The prophets knew the oral law as shown in Isaiah 58:5-58:11.
Prophet Isaiah is a Pharisee meaning an Orthodox Jew because he quotes from the Oral Torah in explaining that to “afflict the soul” which is not explained in the Torah does not mean “to only fast."
To afflict the soul includes no eating, no drinking, no using leather shoes, no bathing, no washing, no putting on perfumes or lotions, no marital relations and means pray, repenting of your sins and doing righteous deeds like giving charity.
Leviticus 16:31 It is a Sabbath of solemn rest for you and you shall afflict your souls, it is a statute forever.
Leviticus 23:20 (Yom Kippur) For any person who is not afflicted in soul on that same day shall be cut off from his people.
C. Deuteronomy 12:21 “… you may slaughter any cattle or sheep that the Lord gives you, as I have instructed you …” (note that only in the oral law are these instructions found).
D. In Matthew 23:1 - 23:3 (Jesus says) “… do everything they (the Pharisees meaning the orthodox Jews who follow the Torah and the oral law) tell you …” (All the prophets after Moses confirmed the Torah and the oral law in Deuteronomy 17:8 - 17:13).
E. Deuteronomy 16:1 You shall observe the month of springtime and preform the Pesach offering for the Lord, your God, because in the month of springtime the Lord your God took you out of Egypt at night. (Passover must occur in springtime and only in the oral law are the instructions for adjusting the calender so that Passover always occurs in springtime).
F. Before the fifth century there was no vowel system and the meaning of the vowels in the Torah all came from the oral law.
In the eight and ninth century rabbis known as Masoretes recorded what had only been known orally by adding dots and lines to indicate the vowel in the Jewish Bible and this is called the Masoretic text.
Torah scrolls today still have no vowel dots or lines because they must be preserved as they were revealed however in books containing the Jewish Bible dots and lines have been added to show the vowel and these are called the Masoretic text.
G. The Dead Sea scrolls have no vowel marking meaning they were understood by the people of their time and by people today according to the oral law.
H. Gospel of John 7:20 - 7:23 (there is no prohibition in healing anyone during the Sabbath therefore no Pharisee meaning orthodox Jew who follows the Torah and the oral law would object to the healing of anyone during the Sabbath. When Jesus talks about circumcising a child on the Sabbath Jesus is quoting from what is in the oral law and not in the written Torah).
i. How to construct the Phylactery and what verses of the Torah are contained in the Phylacteries is not stated in the written Torah but is stated in the Oral Torah (Oral law) and this is confirmed by 2200 year old Phylacteries found with Dead Sea Scrolls in the Qumran caves which are the same as Phylacteries today.

7. Why are Jews protected in Islamic countries as “the people of the book.”
Every prophet after Moses reminded the children of Israel to follow the Torah Taurat forever.
If any prophet added or subtracted from the Torah then he would be a false prophet and this is why God will give a double reward to Jews who follow the Torah Taurat and also believe the Quran.
The Quran has a message for mankind and a special message for the Jewish people.
God told the Jews to follow the Torah Taurat which is their agreement with God in Quran 2:40.
Jews who follow their Book and also believe the Quran are promised a double reward in the hereafter.
Quran 2:40 shows the Torah Taurat is not corrupted because the Torah Taurat is the covenant agreement which God will keep with those who continue observing the Torah Taurat.
Quran 2:40 is directed only to the Jews and God is telling them God will continue the covenant with them meaning in the Quran God shows all humankind that God has a special covenant with the Jewish people called the Torah Taurat and God says He shall continue to fulfill the agreement He has with the Jewish people.
Quran 2:40 Koran 2:40 O Children of Israel (the Jews, the Hebrews), remember My (God’s) favour which I (God) put on you (in the Torah covenant in Deuteronomy 31:9, Deuteronomy 4:13, Deuteronomy 28:69, Deuteronomy 4:31, Deuteronomy 7:9-7:12 commanding that no one shall add or subtract from the Torah in Deuteronomy 4:2 and Deuteronomy 13:1 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 12:32 in a Christian Bible and forever in Deuteronomy 5:10, Deuteronomy 29:28 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 29:29 in a Christian Bible, Psalm 111:9, Isaiah 59:21 is the promise to the Jewish people who are mentioned in Isaiah 36:11 and Isaiah 36:13 and Gospel of Matthew 5:17-5:20 and Quran 2:40)? Fulfill My covenant (in the Torah) and I (God) will fulfill your covenant (in the Torah) and fear (no one but) Me (God. A false prophet will believe the word of God has changed in Deuteronomy 13:2-13:4 and 1 Kings 13:14-1 Kings 13:24. Paul is a false prophet because he teaches the word of God in the Torah changed in Romans chapter 7 and teaches new words that cannot be found in the Torah. Muhammad is a true prophet because he confirms God orders Jews to follow the Torah Taurat in Quran 2:40 and Jews be protected as “the people of the book.” Jews who follow their book and also believe the Quran are promised a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28 meaning the reward for every good deed they do will be doubled because they believed the Quran which tells the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat which is their eternal covenant between God and the Hebrew people forever).
Note 1. The covenant agreement between God and the children of Israel is to follow the Torah Taurat forever.
Quran 2:41 Koran 2:41 And believe in what I (God) have revealed (in the Quran) confirming that which is with you (the Jewish people in the Torah Taurat as proof to the stone idol worshipers of Makkah in Quran 6:114, Quran 46:10 and Quran 10:94 that the Quran is not an invented story) ..."
God has created more than one "community of God."
a. Quran 5:48 Koran 5:48 And to you (Prophet Muhammad) We (God) revealed the Scripture (the Quran) with the truth that confirmed the Scripture that was before it (in the Gospel Injil and the Torah Taurat) and (for you Prophet Muhammad to be) a guardian over it (the Quran). So judge between them (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what God has revealed (to you Prophet Muhammad) and do not let their desires move you away from the truth that has come to you. …” (Continued below).
Note 1. Below is the truth that has come to Prophet Muhammad which God tells him to deliver to the Jews and Christians and Muslims.
b. Quran 5:48 "... For each (community of Jews, Christians and Muslims) We (God) have appointed a divine law and a way (of religion) …”
c. Quran 5:48 “... If God willed He (God) could have made you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) one community …”
d. Quran 5:48 “... But He (God) tests you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what He (God) has given you (in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John and the Koran Quran to show who is best in behaviour) …”
Note 1. The four Gospels are four reports from humans about Jesus.
This means anything that contradicts the Tanakh Jewish Scripture such as Jewish Scripture quoted out of context in the Gospels did not come from Jesus but from the four writers of the Gospels.
Whatever contradicts with the Jewish Tanakh did not come from the mouth of Jesus.
Since Jesus has no biological father Jesus has no connection to King David because in Judaism inheritance of tribe is through the male and not through the female and not through adoption meaning all efforts in the 4 Gospels to connect Jesus to King David came from unknown people who wrote the four Gospels after the death of Jesus.
The original four Gospel manuscripts had no name meaning they were named Mark, Matthew, Luke and John after the death of the original unknown authors by other unknown people.
The task today is to find all invented stories meaning those that contradict the Jewish Tanakh so that we know what Jesus said which is everything confirming the Jewish Tanakh and what Jesus did not say which is everything contradicting the Jewish Tanakh.
Jesus was a teacher of the Jewish Tanakh meaning nothing said by Jesus would have contradicted the Jewish Tanakh meaning everything Jesus said would have confirmed the teaching of every messenger of God in the Jewish Tanakh.
Whatever in the Gospels contradicts with the Jewish Tanakh did not come from Jesus meaning it was the opinion of the unknown writers of the Gospels.
Whatever in the Gospels agrees with the Jewish Tanakh came from Jesus.
The Quran explains what came from Jesus (like “God is one”) and what did not come from Jesus (like “Jesus is God”).
Other letters and books outside the Gospels claim Jesus is God.
The Quran says in the Gospel Jesus is a servant of God meaning Jesus is not God.
The Quran tells the Christian to judge by the Gospel meaning if you read that in all 4 Gospels “Jesus prays to God” then you will understand that “Jesus is not God” unless you believe letters and books outside the Gospel that claim “Jesus is God.”
Some Christian sects agree that “Jesus is not God.”
The Quran says that those Christians who understand that “there is only one God and that Jesus is not God” are on the correct path.
In the Gospel Jesus has no biological father and therefore no tribal connection to King David because in Judaism tribe is through the biological male and not through a female like through Mary and not through adoption like through Joseph.
The genealogy of the King in the Jewish Scripture who will be a descendant of King David near the end of days show that Jesus in the Gospel and the King near the end of days in the Jewish Scripture are two different people.
e. Quran 5:48 “... So strive for all that is good …”
f. Quran 5:48 “... To God you shall all return and He (God) shall then inform you (in the Hereafter) about (the correctness of) the religious matters in which you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) argue among each other.
Quran 7:170 Koran 7:170 (Quran 7:169 is the covenant agreement between God and the Jewish people in each generation. Quran 7:170 is the reward for obeying the covenant agreement. Quran 7:171 is the pledge at Mount Sinai Horeb between God and the Hebrew people to keep the covenant agreement forever in each generation. In Quran 7:169 the Jewish people have a covenant agreement with God to follow the Torah Taurat forever which is confirmed in Torah Deuteronomy 4:31, Torah Deuteronomy 7:7-7:8, Torah Exodus 2:24, Torah Leviticus 26:44-26:45, Jewish Bible 2 King 13:23, Jewish Bible Hosea 3:4-3:5, Jewish Bible Zephaniah 3:12-3:13 and Jewish Bible Jeremiah 31:35-31:37. In Quran 7:170 the Jewish people who obey the Torah Taurat are rewarded in Torah Deuteronomy 4:31, Torah Deuteronomy 5:10, Psalm 19:12, Daniel 12:2, Quran 2:62, Quran 3:113 - 3:115, Quran 4:123 and Quran 5:69. In Quran 7:171 and the Jewish Talmud and Quran 2:63 Mount Sinai Horeb was held above the heads of the Hebrew people when they promised to follow the Torah Taurat forever meaning God protects the Torah Taurat because God has commanded the Torah Taurat be followed for 100,000 years which is the thousandth generation if each generation of the children of Israel lived for 100 years in Torah Deuteronomy 5:10 meaning forever in Torah Deuteronomy 29:28 in a Jewish Bible or Torah Deuteronomy 29:29 in a Christian Bible. For the Jewish people mentioned in Isaiah 36:11 and Isaiah 36:13 the Torah is protected by God forever in Isaiah 59:21 like the promise that the Torah is protected forever by God for the Jewish people in Gospel of Matthew 5:17-5:20 because the Torah Taurat is the covenant agreement between God and the Jewish people forever in Quran 2:40 as proof that God does not change His word and His promises and His covenant agreements. Every prophet after Prophet Moses Musa including Prophet Jesus Isa and Prophet Muhammad reminded the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat and here in Quran 7:170 it is revealed). And those (of the Jewish people) who hold fast to the Book (the Torah Taurat which every prophet after Prophet Moses Musa including Prophet Jesus Isa and Prophet Muhammad reminded the Jewish people to follow as shown in Quran 2:40-2:41 “And believe in what I God have revealed in the Quran that confirms what you the Jewish people already have in the Torah Taurat” meaning believe the Quran is the truth because it confirms what is with the Jewish people in the Torah Taurat so that the stone idol worshippers in Makkah can also know that the Quran is the truth and Quran 3:93 “... Bring the Torah Taurat here and recite it to me as evidence if what you say is true” meaning the Torah Taurat is the truth and Quran 5:43 “How is it that they the Jewish people come to you Prophet Muhammad for judgment when they have the Torah Taurat in which God has already revealed to them judgment …” meaning God protects the Torah Taurat because God orders the Jewish people to follow it and Quran 5:68 “ … You the Jewish people have nothing until you observe the Torah Taurat …” meaning God protects the Torah Taurat because God orders the Jewish people to observe it and Quran 5:48 “For each community of Jews, Christians and Muslims God has appointed a divine law and a way to God. If God willed God could have made you Jews and Christians and Muslims one community. But God tests you Jews and Christians and Muslims by what God has given you in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Quran to show who is best in behaviour. So strive for all that is good. To God you shall all return and God shall then inform you in the Hereafter about the correctness of the religious matters in which you the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims argue among each other” meaning God protects the Torah Taurat because God orders the Jewish people to follow it until they return to God on the Day of Judgement), and establish the prayer, indeed, We (God) do not let go to waste the reward (in the hereafter) of the reformers (meaning the reward to the Jewish people in Quran 3:113 - 3:115 who do good deeds for God that improve the life and behaviour of the people on the earth. Reformer has the same meaning in Quran 28:19 “... Prophet Moses Musa, Are you going to kill me like you killed the other person yesterday? Do you want nothing but to be a tyrant in the land by killing people? Do you not want to be a reformer who improves the life and behaviour of the people on the earth?” Jews like Quran 3:113-3:115 and Christians like Quran 5:82-5:85 who follow their Book in Quran 5:68 and also believe the Quran will receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28 meaning the reward for every good deed they do will be doubled because they believed the Quran which tells the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat which is their eternal covenant between God and the Hebrew people forever and tells the Christian people to follow the Gospel Injil which is explained in the Quran and tells the Muslim people to follow the Quran is confirmed in Quran 2:40, Quran 2:41, Quran 2:62, Quran 2:106, Quran 3:93, Quran 4:123, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:48, Quran 5:69 and Quran 13:39).
Note 1. Every prophet told the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat forever because it is the covenant agreement between God and every generation of the children of Israel until the Day of Judgement.
