The God of this Earthly realm is the life force of the Universe. The guiding force of nature which we call Instinct. The God of Abraham represented the dark side of Human Nature which his followers were able to use in order to strengthen themselves. City states, back in the day, created Gods the priests could turn to for help. It was the priests job to make certain the rains came, crops grew and the city prospered.
The God of Abraham was a jealous God. His words, not mine. He was feared even by his own people. He was the most warlike and the nastiest God of all the Gods. His people, by worshipping him, took on all those same characteristics which gave them power on Earth. Abraham’s people were nomadic. They needed land and resources and the only way they could survive and prosper was to follow their God, focus on warfare and take what they needed wherever they could find it. They were empire builders because they were landless. Their God commanded them to find a land of milk and honey and settle wherever that land was found. God would lead them. That land was never found. The search goes on.
Fast forward to the Roman Empire. This is a work in progress. I’m hungry for me breakfast and a cup of tea so catch ya later. xx
