Now that Yahweh had given Israel His law, how would anyone know if Israel kept their side of the contract by being obedient to God? Or how would anyone know if God kept His side of the contract to bless them for obedience and punish them for disobedience? In this lesson, we will see that Yahweh put in place “lawyers” or “prosecuting attorneys” for His contract. These “lawyers” were the prophets. The prophets had three roles: they were Yahweh’s lawyers, historians and Scripture writers. God gave the people two tests to properly identify and authenticate His appointed prophets. And false prophets were to be put to death. Did Israel keep the law? Israel almost immediately failed. The people showed that they were rebellious at heart and also self-deceiving. And Yahweh demonstrated how serious He was about His contracts by holding Israel accountable for breaking the contract. He also wanted the people to see that He is a promise keeper and He could be trusted.
