In this post, at times I will use the false title “God” in reference to the Most High, as this is the term he is erroneously called by most Christians. Of course, his title is Elohiym or Aluahiym (ancient Paleo Hebrew). We use “God” for SEO purposes, so this post can turn up in search results so those who need to be edified can be edified (1 Cor 9:19-23).
GOD CREATED US EQUAL?
God created us equal is a popular comment one gets from Christians or other sacred name assemblies. Speak about the importance of the children of Israel in these days, they almost always say that it doesn’t matter, “God” created all equal.
Is this so? Does Elohiym see all men as being equal? Is there none whom he prefers to others? Is there none he holds as being special above others?
That is the purpose of this post, to use questions to get persons thinking so they can answer the question themselves. This is an “if so, then why” article to prove whether he has a preference for any of his creations.
So let’s get started with the questions right away.
Disclaimer: All references to Israel of today, is not of the current country of Israel, but rather relates to a hidden people scattered over the four corners of the earth and living among every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation (Rev 5:9).
1. IF GOD CREATED US EQUAL, WHY DID HE CREATE A SPECIAL PEOPLE FOR HIMSELF?
If God created us equal, then why did he make this statement?
Deu 7:6 For thou art an holy people unto YAHUAH they Elohiym: YAHUAH they Elohiym hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
That one verse destroys the notion that he created us all equal. He created Israel to be special, and not only special, but also special above every other people upon the face of the earth!
In essence, among his creation, they are his treasure.
But the reader may say, he chose them to be special, he did not create them to be special!
Sorry, but he did create them to be special. Look at #15 below, entitled: “WHY WERE THERE TWO NATIONS OF PEOPLE IN REBECCA’S WOMB?”
You will see that even before Rebecca had conceived, Jacob was chosen. Therefore choosing Jacob (Israel) to be a special people unto himself? They were created special (even before Rebecca conceived):
Rom 9:10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
Rom 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of Elohiym according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth; )
Rom 9:12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
Get more understanding of how Israel was chosen before the foundation of the world, how they created chosen, not created, then chosen. Go to Part 2: Predestined by God.
JEREMIAH WAS KNOWN FROM BEFORE HE WAS CONCEIVED
Here is more proof of this principle of YAHUAH choosing people from before they were even conceived. If we do so, it will prove that God did not create us equal, and prove that him choosing Israel is actually him creating Israel to be special. Speaking of Jeremiah, the Most High said:
Jer 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Here the Most high tells us that even before he formed Jeremiah he knew him. That means Jeremiah was in his plan before he was conceived.
It therefore also means, he was created special, for the special purpose for which he was chosen (to be a prophet unto the nations), just as Jacob (Israel) was created for a special purpose (to rule the world).
Furthermore…
2. WHY DID HE STATE THAT HE HAS ONLY KNOWN ISRAEL AND NO OTHER NATION?
Not only did he create a special people unto himself, but he also declared to them that he has known no other people upon the face of the earth!
Amo 3:1 Hear this word that YAHUAH hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
Amo 3:2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
In other words, he is saying he has no special relationship with any other nation. Does this sound as if he created us all equal? But there’s more.
3. WHY DID HE PUT A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANOTHER NATION AND ISRAEL?
If YAHUAH created us equal, then it means there should be no difference put between any two nations.; no difference between any two sets of people. Then how come he declared the following about Israel?
Exo 11:7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that YAHUAH doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
There we clearly see he put a difference between Israel and other people. That doesn’t seem like equality to me at all. What do you think? Before you answer that, think about this:
4. WHY DID HE CHOOSE ONLY ONE NATION TO BE HIS PEOPLE?
If YAHUAH created all men equal, why did he claim only one nation among all that he created to be his people? Why is it that only Israel has been declared in scripture to be his people?
Eze 34:30 Thus shall they know that I YAHUAH their Elohiym am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith YAHUAH Elohiym.
Again?
2 Ch 6:6 But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
What a claim? He hasn’t claimed any other people to be his. Oh, you are thinking about this?:
Isa 19:25 Whom YAHUAH TSEVA’OTH shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
That was speaking about Israelites scattered in those countries. That is also an idea for another post. There are so many misunderstood scriptures. Israel alone is his people.
5. WHY HAS HE PROMISED TO GATHER ONLY ONE PEOPLE?
If YAHUAH loves us all and created us all equal, why then why has he promised to gather only one people out of all nations? Surely, there are other people who have been persecuted in this world. But not only that, he has promised to pour out his wrath on those nations for how they treated his people.
It doesn’t end there, he promises to pour out his love and protection on these people whom he promised to gather. These people, of course, are the children of Israel.
Jer 16:14 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith YAHUAH, that it shall no more be said, YAHUAH liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Jer 16:15 But, YAHUAH liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.Jer_30:16 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.
6. WHY HAS HE PROMISED SALVATION TO ONLY ONE PEOPLE?
If he created us all equal, why then has he promised salvation to only one nation? Why is it that he only sent a savior to Israel?
Now many in Christianity will say, but he sent a savior for the world; what about John 3:16? That is a misunderstood verse that hopefully, we will look at on its own post.
However, the word says that he sent a savior to Israel:
Act 13:23 Of this man’s seed hath YAHUAH according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Yahusha:
Luk 1:68-69 Blessed be YAHUAH of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
7. WHY CAN A STRANGER ONLY RULE OVER ISRAEL WHEN ISRAEL IS IN CAPTIVITY?
Any nation is free to do whatever they want to do. However, this is what happens when Israel is in obedience to the Most High:
Deu_17:15 Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom YAHUAH thy Elohiym shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.
However, when Israel disobeys and is in being punished?
Deu 28:43-44 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
This happens to none other nation. If all are equal, why this special law for Israel?
8. WHY DOES HE HATE ONE SET OF PEOPLE AND LOVE ANOTHER?
If all are created equal, why then does he love one nation and hate another? He loves one people and will not cast away these people for the evil they have done:
Jer_31:37 Thus saith YAHUAH; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith YAHUAH.
In other words, for all that Israel has done, he will not cast them away. While at the same time, he has anger and hatred forever against another nation for doing evil! How then can we say he created us equal?
Mal 1:2-4 I have loved you, saith YAHUAH. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? saith YAHUAH: yet I loved Jacob,
Mal 1:3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
Mal 1:4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith YAHUAH of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom YAHUAH hath indignation for ever.
9. WHY IS THE INHERITANCE OF THE OTHER NATIONS BASED ON THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL?
This is another little known fact of scripture. The earth was divided up according to the number of the children of Israel. That means that even before the children of Israel were born on this earth, the earth was planned according to them! Now tell me all men are created equal!
Deu 32:8 When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
10. WHY DID HE CALL ONLY ONE SET OF PEOPLE HIS PORTION AND HIS INHERITANCE?
Deu 32:9 For YAHUAH’S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
So even though he created this world, he took a portion for himself, and that is Israel. He took them as his inheritance among all people. He has not called any other nation his inheritance nor his portion. This is exclusive to Israel.
Now tell me, does that sound as if all men are equal in the eyes of the Father?
11. WHY DID HE SEND THE MESSIAH ONLY FOR ISRAEL
If all men are equal before YAHUAH, then wouldn’t he have sent a Messiah to all men? why did he only send him for the lost sheep of the house of Israel?
He came to save that which was lost.
Luk_19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
That fulfills this prophecy about Israel:
Eze 34:16 I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.
So who was lost? Which lost was he sent to save? No surprise here:
Mat 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
In other words, the lost he was sent to save was only the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Does that sound as if all men are equal or treated equally before him?
12. WHY DOES THE MESSIAH HAVE TO BE AN ISRAELITE?
If Elohiym created all men equally, why then did the Messiah have to come out of the lineage (seed) of David, who was an Israelite. Why couldn’t the Messiah, the son of Elohiym who will one day rule the world, be from another nation?
Joh_7:42 Hath not the scripture said, That Messiah cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
Rom_1:3 Concerning his Son Yahusha HaMashiach our Master, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
13. WHY ARE THE GATES INTO HIS KINGDOM ONLY FOR ONE NATION?
Now, if all are created equal, wouldn’t there be entry points in his kingdom for all nations? At least one gate then? But what do we have?
Rev 21:12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
All 12 gates for one nation of people? What about the rest of the world? If he created men equally, why no gate for them? Think.
14. WHY DID HE CREATE THE WICKED FOR THE DAY OF EVIL? (Prov 16:4)
If he created all men equally, why then did he create some wicked and some good?
“No, he made all men good,” you may say. Then how do you explain this?
Pro 16:4 YAHUAH hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
Don’t believe me? Here is confirmation:
Psa 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
Now can you see he did not create all men equal? But there’s more.
15. WHY WERE THERE TWO NATIONS OF PEOPLE IN REBECCA’S WOMB?
If YAHUAH created us all equal, how could there be two nations and two manner of people in Rebecca’s womb? They should be no difference between Jacob and Esau as they were created equal, right?
Wrong. We are not all created equal: look!
Gen_25:23 And YAHUAH said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
That simply means, they were different from conception! One will even be stronger than the other.
That perfectly matches a verse we just looked at:
Psa 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
YAHUAH’S Election of Israel
That is the power of YAHUAH’S election which we trivialize when we say it does not matter who Israel is today because we are all equal.
Rom 9:10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
Rom 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of Elohiym according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth; )
Rom 9:12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
That is the election of Jacob (Israel). He was not created equal to Esau. This was determined by YAHUAH even in the womb. Conclusive proof of the Christian and sacred name belief that all men are created equal is false.
16. WHY DID HE CREATE VESSELS OF HONOUR AND DISHONOUR?
Rom 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Rom 9:22 What if YAHUAH, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
Rom 9:17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
Rom 9:18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
Clearly we see that he raised up Pharaoh as a vessel of dishonour to show his power throughout the earth. Still believe all men are created equal?
17. WHY DID HE GIVE HIS LAW TO ONLY ONE NATION?
The Bible describes the law as being good, holy, right, the truth. It is everything that is good! If YAHUAH created all men equal (if God created all men equal), then why was it ONLY GIVEN to one nation of people? If they were equal in his sight, don’t we think he would have given all nations that which is good?
Psa 147:19-20 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye YAHUAH.
Deu 4:8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
18. WHY HAS HE SWORN THAT ONE NATION WILL LAST FOREVER, AND HAS NOT SWORN THIS ABOUT ANY OTHER NATION?
Throughout scriptures, he has only sworn that one nation will last forever, the nation of Israel. He has not sworn similarly about any other nation!
Jer_31:35 Thus saith YAHUAH, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; YAHUAH of hosts is his name:
Jer_31:36 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith YAHUAH, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
In other words, he is swearing that Israel will always be a nation before him. Why? Because they are special unto him (Deut 7:6). Christianity wants to say all that has changed. However, the Most high cannot go back on his word. By now you must be getting the picture. If not, we’re not done.
19. WHY WILL HE CHOOSE ONLY ONE NATION IN THE END?
Even though we have people preaching from all nations claiming to be chosen, throughout scripture, he promised to choose only one people: the children of Jacob (Israel):
Isa 14:1 For YAHUAH will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
20. WHY EVEN IF OTHER NATIONS JOIN HIS PEOPLE, THEY CANNOT BE HIS PEOPLE, BUT STILL REMAIN STRANGERS?
There is a false doctrine about how being grafted in makes one spiritual Israelites. Sadly, that has no foundation in scripture. This we have looked at in detail in this post.
Scripture says that non-Israelites who join themselves to Israel remain strangers! They cannot be Israelites. Being an Israelite is a bloodline.
Isa 14:1 For YAHUAH will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
Now what does it mean that he strangers shall be joined with them? Will they now become Israelites?
Isa 14:2 And the people (Israelites) shall take them (strangers), and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess (own) them in the land of YAHUAH for servants and handmaids (slaves): and they shall take them (strangers) captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
The strangers joining themselves to Israel does not make them Israelites, but gives them the opportunity to live with the Israelites to serve them. So we see the following verse in action right to the very end:
Exo 11:7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that YAHUAH doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
For even more details on the danger of saying one is grafted in and reject the people of the Most high, please check out our eBook on the true meaning of grafted in.
21. WHY WILL ONE NATION RULE THE WORLD IN THE END?
If all men are created equal, then why will only one nation rule the world in the end? If God created us equal, would he not run it like the United Nations where leaders are rotated at specific periods? Why only one king?
Dan 7:14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Luk_1:33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
So he shall reign over the kingdom of Jacob and also the whole world, and his people shall reign over the world with him:
Dan 7:18 But the saints of the most High (Israelites) shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
Rev_5:10 And hast made us unto our Elohiym kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
22. WHY WILL ALL OTHER NATIONS BE SERVANTS TO ONE NATION IN THE END?
Finally, if all people are created equal, why will all other nations be servants to the one nation with which he has declared to be special unto him?
Isa 14:1-2 For YAHUAH will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of YAHUAH for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
Eze_36:12 Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of men.
Zep_2:9 Therefore as I live, saith YAHUAH of hosts, the Elohiym of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.
Even the strangers who join themselves to Israel (heathen called by my name) will become slaves of the Israelites!
Amo 9:11-12 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my nameYAHUAH, saith the YAHUAH that doeth this.
YAHUAH IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS
The common defense mounted to support the point that “God” created all men equal, is that he is no respecter of persons.
Act 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that YAHUAH is no respecter of persons:
That is 100% correct. He treats all men equally, but he has elected a nation (Israel) to be his. He made a covenant with them, and since then, whenever they go too far and transgress his covenant? He makes them pay by sending them into bondage.
No other nation has known as much bondage as his people. YirmeYahu said it best:
Jer_2:14 Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?
There has been so much slavery for Israel that even now they are in bondage (but most do not know it, neither do they know they are Israel).
Therefore, indeed he is not a respecter of persons, because his people suffer even more than the other nations, if they fail to honor his covenant. We need not look any further than the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
However, that does not affect his election and does not affect the fact that Israel is a special people unto him, above all other nations on the face of the earth. That is why he has glorious promises for them, once they fall into the bond of his covenant and walk in righteousness.
DID YAHUAH CREATE US EQUAL?
Don’t get it twisted, all men are not created equal in his sight. He has a special people, his portion, his inheritance, the apple of his eye: the nation of Israel.
Zec_2:8 For thus saith YAHUAH of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you (house of Israel) toucheth the apple of his eye.
Let me end by sharing from the book of 2 Esdras 6:
2 Esdras 6:53 Upon the sixth day thou gavest commandment unto the earth, that before thee it should bring forth beasts, cattle, and creeping things:54 And after these, Adam also, whom thou madest master of all thy creatures: of him come we all, and the people also whom thou hast chosen.55 All this have I spoken before thee, O YAHUAH, because thou madest the world for our (Israel’s) sakes.56 As for the other people, which also come of Adam, thou hast said that they are nothing, but be like unto spittle: and hast likened the abundance of them unto a drop that falleth from a vessel.57 And now, O YAHUAH, behold, these heathen, which have ever been reputed as nothing, have begun to be masters over us, and to devour us.58 But we thy people, whom thou hast called thy firstborn, thy only begotten, and thy fervent lover, are given into their hands.59 If the world now be made for our sakes, why do we not possess an inheritance with the world? how long shall this endure?
