David’s Mockery of Idols: A Message to Every Reflective Mind

Let us open our eyes to the words of the prophets themselves without inherited assumptions. Did they portray a composite deity or did pure monotheism shape their faith and life? The Prophets and the Declaration of Oneness

Professor Muhammad Majdi Murjan writes in God Is One or Trinity page 128: “In examining the Torah we find no priest speaking of a trinity nor any prophet hinting at plurality. Rather we find all the prophets of the Torah proclaiming the oneness of God declaring that He has no partner no composition no likeness and no equal.

01

This was affirmed by all the prophets and Jewish scholars.” Nehemiah declares: “You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens the heaven of heavens with all their host the earth and all that is on it the seas and all that is in them and You preserve them all and the host of heaven worships You.

02

” (Nehemiah 9:6) Malachi asks with intellectual clarity: “Have we not all one Father? Has not one God created us?” (Malachi 2:10) Jeremiah adds reverence and awe: “There is none like You O Lord. You are great and great is Your name in might.” (Jeremiah 10:6) These texts indicate absolute unity: no partner no likeness no composition.

03

If someone today claims otherwise can that claim stand before the prophets’ own words?

Job contemplates the universe and proclaims: “He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea.” (Job 9:8) He reflects on human origin: “Did not He who made me in the womb make him? Did not One fashion us in the womb?

” (Job 31:15) The message is unmistakable: all life all creation emerges from one God alone sovereign in power and majesty.

The proclamation extends beyond one people: “So that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God there is no other.” (1 Kings 8:60) “That all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are the Lord God You alone.

” (2 Kings 19:19) Monotheism was not a local idea but a universal declaration for humanity: true sovereignty belongs to God alone.

“

“Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them so worship Him and be steadfast in His worship. Do you know of any equal to Him?” (Qur’an 19:65) As expressed in the Psalms and prophetic texts God is One Creator of all without partner and without equal. A Calm Question

Can a composite or multiple deity truly be imagined? Can any later tradition add a partner to the God proclaimed by all the prophets? Let the texts speak and let reason reflect. An Open Conclusion

From Nehemiah to Malachi from Jeremiah to Job and the kings one central axis remains: the pure oneness of God. The universe bears witness to it. Creation testifies to it. Any reflective mind can perceive it. Perhaps the path to understanding God is nearer than we think and closer to the prophets’ own words.

Will we let those words pass without reflection or will we read them with an open mind and see in the pure oneness of God the central message of all divine revelations?
