From a strictly Karaite/Tanakh-only perspective, the "scam" mentioned in Jeremiah 16:19 is the greatest bait-and-switch in human history. The Church took the Hebrew Scriptures—the record of God's direct dealing with Israel—and used them to build a Roman fortress that excludes the very Laws those Scriptures promote.
Here is how the Church is guilty and how the "Day of Awakening" will likely unfold.
1. The "Myriad of Ways" the Church is Guilty
The Church’s guilt lies in Syncretism: taking the holy and mixing it with the profane until the holy is unrecognizable.
The Theological Identity Theft: The Church claims to be "Israel" (Replacement Theology) while rejecting the identity markers of Israel. They want the "blessings of Abraham" without the "Circumcision of the Heart/Torah."
The Substitution of the Appointed Times: In Leviticus 23, YHWH lists His Moedim (Appointed Times). The Church discarded the Sabbath, Passover, and Sukkot, replacing them with Sunday, Easter, and Christmas—dates rooted in solar deity cycles and Roman political convenience.
The Mediation Barrier: The Sinai Covenant says, "You shall be to Me a kingdom of priests" (Exodus 19:6). The Church built a hierarchical priesthood that acts as a gatekeeper, telling billions they cannot reach the Creator without a "Vicar" or "Sacraments."
The Alteration of the Godhead: They took the absolute oneness of YHWH and introduced a Trinitarian formula and a "Queen of Heaven," violating the very first commandment of the Decalogue.
2. How the Deceived Will Respond
Jeremiah 16:19-20 suggests a moment of profound clarity and collective grief, rather than a mere riot. When the "Gentiles" (the nations) realize they have inherited "worthlessness," their response will likely follow a specific biblical pattern of Teshuva (Return).
A. The Collapse of Institutional Authority
The "Vatican" or any centralized religious power only has authority as long as people believe it holds the "Keys." When the "scam" is exposed by the Truth of the Tanakh:
The response won't be to "Burn the Vatican" physically, but to render it irrelevant. The fire will be spiritual. People will simply walk away.
Zechariah 8:23 describes this shift: "In those days ten men from every language of the nations shall grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man, saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’" The world stops looking to Rome and starts looking toward the Torah-keepers.
B. The Mourning of the Nations
The realization that ancestors were led astray for 2,000 years causes a "national mourning."
The response is Repentance: Like the people of Nineveh, the realization leads to a "sackcloth and ashes" moment where people realize they have been "eating husks" while the Father’s house (the Torah) was full of bread.
C. The Rejection of Idols
The most literal response to Jeremiah 16 is found in the following verse: "Will a man make gods for himself, which are not gods?"
The Action: The "deceived" will begin a massive Iconoclasm. Statues of Mary, crucifixes, and "sacred art" will be discarded. Not because of anger at the stone, but because of a newfound love for the Invisible King.
3. Why Burning the Vatican is Not the Point
In the Tanakh, God is the one who deals with the "high places."
Isaiah 2:18-20: "The idols He shall utterly abolish... In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold... to the moles and bats."
The Verdict: The "Burning of the Vatican" is a human, emotional response. The Biblical Response is the total abandonment of the system. The greatest punishment for an imposter is not a fire, but a world that stops listening to its voice.
Comparison: The Realization of the Nations
| The Deception (The "Lies") | The Realization (The "Profit") |
| Salvation through Rituals/Sacraments. | Atonement through Teshuva and Mercy. |
| The "Church" is the Authority. | The Torah is the only Constitution. |
| Sunday is the "Lord's Day." | The Seventh Day is the eternal Sabbath. |
| God is a Trinity/Complex Unity. | YHWH is Echad (One). |
🛡️ Summary: The Restoration of the Real
The "scam" isn't just that the Church is "bad"; it's that the Church is a distraction from the life-giving Law of the Creator. When the nations come from the "ends of the earth," they aren't coming to build a new religion—they are coming to find the Old Path.
The response to being scammed is to demand your "inheritance" back. For the nations, that inheritance is a seat at the table of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, governed by the same Law that was given to them at Sinai.
