Who told Judaism's founder Abraham, to preach the words of Jehova?

Answer 1

Abraham was not the founder of Judaism, or of true worship.

It seems rather obvious that a "Jew" shares some quality with Jacob's son Judah, since that is where the religion draws its name. Abraham died at 175 years of age, when Jacob was only 15 years old and thus decades before Judah was even fathered.

Thus, Abraham was never a Jew.

Even with regard to pre-Jewish true worship, the bible plainly teaches that Abraham looked to another as his spiritual mentor.
...(Genesis 14:18-20) And Melchizedek ...was priest of the Most High God. Then he blessed [Abram] and said: “Blessed be Abram of the Most High God, Producer of heaven and earth; And blessed be the Most High God, Who has delivered your oppressors into your hand!” At that Abram gave him a tenth of everything [that is, a tithe].

Answer 2

Avraham didn't so much "preach" --it's more that he welcomed guests into his home and told them about the idea of one G-d. Even right after his circumcision, he sat in the doorway of his tent, LOOKING for guests to welcome.

Why? He was led to do so by G-d. I'm not sure what you mean by the word "Jehova". It certainly isn't a Jewish word. The tetragamaton--G-d's name--is a four-letter word which isn't pronounceable, and isn't supposed to be pronounced. It's not the word Jews use for G-d.

Answer 3

One should remember that God came down and CONFUSED the WORD in Genesis 11. One should note that the 'tower of babel' was in the generation follow the FLOOD, so ONLY 1 group of people and only 1 language and earth before god confused the WORD.

One should also comment on the OT prophesy that says God will not restore the WORD until the 'Day of Judgement'. Zeph 3:9 For then will I return to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.

Answer 4

I was not aware that there was any scriptural reference to Abraham preaching the words of Jehovah. Scripture makes it plain that Abraham *worshiped* Jehovah, but this is not the same thing.

Answer 5

--ABRAHAM did not really have any preaching assignment from Jehovah. His activity was mainly of patriarchal nature!

*** it-1 pp. 31-32 Abraham ***
***Patriarchal Head and Prophet.
-- Abraham was a very wealthy man with great flocks and herds, much silver and gold, and a very large household numbering many hundreds of servants. (Ge 12:5, 16; 13:2, 6, 7; 17:23, 27; 20:14; 24:35) For this reason the kings of Canaan considered him a powerful “chieftain” and one with whom covenants of peace should be made. (Ge 23:6; 14:13; 21:22, 23) Yet at no time did Abraham allow materialism to blind his vision of Jehovah and His promises or cause him to become proud, high-minded, or selfish.—Ge 13:9; 14:21-23.
--The first occurrence of the word “prophet” in the Hebrew Scriptures refers to Abraham, though others like Enoch prophesied before him. (Ge 20:7; Jude 14) The first identified in the Scriptures as a “Hebrew” is Abraham. (Ge 14:13) Abraham, like Abel, Enoch, and Noah, was a man of faith. (Heb 11:4-9) But the first occurrence of the expression “put faith in Jehovah” is in reference to Abraham.—Ge 15:6.
--Indeed, this man of unusual faith walked with God, received communications from him by means of visions and dreams, and entertained his angelic messengers. (Ge 12:1-3, 7; 15:1-8, 12-21; 18:1-15; 22:11, 12, 15-18) He was well acquainted with the name of God even though Jehovah had not at that time revealed the full significance of His name. (Ex 6:2, 3) Time after time Abraham built altars and offered up sacrifices in the name of and to the praise and glory of his God Jehovah.—Ge 12:8; 13:4, 18; 21:33; 24:40; 48:15.
--As patriarchal head, Abraham allowed no idolatry or ungodliness in his household but constantly taught all his sons and servants to “keep Jehovah’s way to do righteousness and judgment.” (Ge 18:19) Every male member of Abraham’s household was bound by Jehovah’s law to submit to circumcision. The Egyptian slave girl Hagar called on Jehovah’s name in prayer. And Abraham’s oldest servant in a very heart-touching prayer to Jehovah demonstrated his own faith in Abraham’s God. Isaac too, in his early manhood, proved his faith and his obedience to Jehovah by allowing himself to be bound hand and foot and placed atop the altar for sacrifice.—Ge 17:10-14, 23-27; 16:13; 24:2-56.

--As a father he brought up his children in the way of Jehovah:
(Genesis 18:19) “19 For I have become acquainted with him in order that he may command his sons and his household after him so that they shall keep Jehovah’s way to do righteousness and judgment; in order that Jehovah may certainly bring upon Abraham what he has spoken about him.””

--But there was no outright preaching & teaching work to others or strangers as Christs disciples did!
