It started in the 4th century. The Greek church had chased out all the believing Jews, so when Jerome wanted to learn Hebrew, he went to non-Christian Jews. They told him that Hebrew has 22 letters. It has 28.
They said there were no vowels. The yod and vav are pure vowels. All other letters are formed by vavs and yods and have vowels embedded in them. You form a consonant by interrupting breath, and so every consonant has a vowel with it.
They said that Hebrew is like Greek and has 3 letter root as the atomic unit of meaning when in fact, the strokes of the letters have meaning which combine to form the metaphor of the letters which combine to form the meaning of the words.
Around 600 AD they added the 'modern' vowels to hide things about Christ. The word amar אמר means 'word' and 'lamb' but is now split into two words by the added vowels.
When people heard "Behold the Lamb of God", some heard "Behold the Word of God".
The church welcomed the Judaisers, who added Jewish ritual to the Greek church. And in the same manner that they has made a golden calf after meeting God, helped the Greek church deify Mary.
The deceit started early. Zionism was enabled by the Scofield Bible.
