Daniel (11:14) speaks of those who will “raise themselves up to establish the vision, but they shall stumble.” As Maimonides writes, “is there any greater stumbling then [Jesus’ endeavor]? All the prophets spoke of a Messiah who would redeem Israel, save them, gather their dispersed and strengthen the fulfillment of the Torah’s precepts. But he caused the destruction of the Jewish people by the sword and the dispersion and humiliation of the survivors. He also replaced the Torah and misled most of the world to worship a false god [i.e., himself]."
Similarly in Deuteronomy 13:2-5:
"If there appears among you a prophet or a dream-diviner and he gives you a sign or a portent, saying, Let us follow and worship another god whom you have not experienced, even if the sign or portent that he named to you comes true, do not heed the words of that prophet or that dream-diviner. For the Lord your God is testing you to see whether you really love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul. Follow none but the Lord your God, and revere none but Him; observe His commandments alone, and heed only His orders; worship none but Him, and hold fast to Him."
