"If all this did happen why was there not one faithful follower of YHWH to oppose the changes(s)? Was God so powerless that when His Word was supposedly changed, either during or after the time of Moses, that He did nothing as He had in the past Why did it take 2000 years +/- for someone to find these corruptions?"
Of course there were faithful followers! There were great numbers of people who followed YHWH, but the Bible clearly points out that we cannot count the priesthood in those numbers.
"Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
And he brought me into the inner court of the Lords' house, and beheld at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the alter, there were about five and twenty men with their backs toward the temple of the Lord and their faces towards the east: and they worshipped the sun towards the east.
Then he said to me, hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing in the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? For they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger and lo, they put the branch to their nose.
Therefore will I also deal in fury, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them." Ez 8: 15-18
If you think this is an isolated incident, and something that only happened in the past, you are very much mistaken. You will never hear a rabbi utter the name of YHWH. Instead they pray aloud in the name of "Adonai." The Hebrew dictionary tells us that it means "My Lord." But that is not exactly true.
After he retired, Sigmund Freud began an intense search into the roots of his Jewish faith and ultimately published a book titled
Moses and Monotheism.
In it Freud hypothesized that Moses was not Jewish, but actually born into Ancient Egyptian nobility and was perhaps a follower of Akhenaten, an ancient Egyptian monotheist, or perhaps Akhenaten himself.
The Egyptian pharaoh, Akhenaten worshipped Aten, i.e. the sun disk/sun god, as a monotheistic deity and attempted to get the whole of Egypt to do likewise.
I do not agree with Freud's thesis as there are significant passages in the Old Testament that clearly show that Moses over and over again told his followers not to worship the sun.
Never-the-less, Freud made one statement that has ultimately proven to be true. He stated that when the name 'Adon' was translated from ancient Hebrew back into ancient Egyptian, it translated to 'Aten,' i.e. the monotheistic version of the Egyptian sun god.
When I first learned of this I thought that Freud must surely be wrong. So I went searching for the outcry that I fully expected to find from the knowledgeable linguists of ancient languages in the academic community. That outcry was not forthcoming.
Since then it has been proven that the name 'Adon' does indeed translate back into the Egyptian word 'Aten' which was also spelled variously as 'Aton.'
To this day, every Rabbi still prays in the name of Adonai. Ultimately that name does NOT mean "my Lord", it means "my Aten." We cannot presume that the Rabbinical system does not know this; all Hebrew people following Moses out of Egypt would have had a very astute understanding of the Egyptian language. Furthermore, there was a huge population of Jewish people living in Alexandria, and we may safely assume that even in that later age, the Hebrew priesthood was perfectly capable of translating the Egyptian language into the Hebrew tongue.
Unfortunately, the name "Adonai" does NOT signify an allegiance to Yahweh. The Hebrew priesthood appears to be STILL worshipping the sun god under the cloak of a Hebrew translation for a very, very Egyptian god name.
So, has anything really changed since the days of Ezekiel?
Atenism is the monotheistic worship of the sun god.
Where is the worship of Yahweh? Yahweh clearly defined sun god worship as an abomination.
