Die oorsprong en natuur van Jahweh, die HERE van die Hebreërs.

[Stefanus]

Die Kurgans

Die Midde-Ooste was 'n vroeë sentrum van beskawing, en as gevolg daarvan was dit een van die eerste areas wat die Kurgans geteiken het vir inval en verowering. Soos hulle beheer oorgeneem het oor elke plaaslike gebied, het hulle, hul gewelddadige manlike oorlogsgod daar geïnstalleer bo die inheemse argetipes van die moedergodin.

Die Kurgans Rooi Oker Heuwel Begrafnisse Voorgangers van die Piramides? Die Hetiet, Koningin (links) dra 'n kroon soos deur die Letlanders gedra was. Is die Kurgans die voorouers van die Hetiete?

Die Kurgan kultuur word soos volg beskryf: "seminomadic pastoralist culture that spread from the Russian steppes to Danubian Europe. the Kurgans arrived in the Aegean and Adriatic regions. The Kurgans buried their dead in deep shafts within artificial burial mounds or barrows. The name means 'barrow' or 'artificial mound' in Turkic and Russian."

Die geografiese ligging van die "Aegean" in verhouding tot die "Adriatic" streke.

Gedurende die laaste ystyd (25.000 tot 13.000 jaar gelede), het die bevolking van Europa teruggeval na veiliger hawens, een daarvan die Oekraïne. 'n Spesifieke Haplo-groep R1a1 gedefinieer as die M17 (SNP merker) van die Y-chromosoom word deur sommige navorsers geassosieer met die hierdie Kurgan kultuur. Die Haplo-groep R1a1 word "tans in Sentraal en Wes Asië, Pakistan, Indië, en in die Slawiese bevolkings van Oos-Europa" gevind, maar dit is skaars in die meeste Wes-Europese lande (bv Frankryk, of sekere dele van Groot-Brittanje). Maar, 23,6% van die Noorweërs, 18,4% van die Swede, 16,5% van die Dene, 11% van die Saami deel hierdie groep. Ondersoeke dui daarop dat die HG R1a1 gene uitgeprei het vanuit die Dnieper-Don Vallei, tussen 13.000 en 7600 jaar gelede, en is gekoppel aan die rendier jagters van die AhrensBurg kultuur wat vanuit die Dnieper-vallei in die Oekraïne afkomstig was en Skandinawië 12.000 jaar gelede bereik het. Alternatiewelik, is daar voorgestel dat R1a1 aangekom het in die suide van Skandinawië gedurende die tyd van die Stryd Byl kultuur of enkelgraf kultuur. Ornella Semino et al. stel 'n na Ystydperk verspreiding van die R1a1 geen tydens die Laat ystyd wat daarna versterk word deur die uitbreiding van die Kurgan-kultuur in Europa en na die ooste. R1a1 kom die meeste voor in Pole, Rusland en die Oekraïne en is ook waargeneem in Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Sentraal-Asië en Indië. Onlangse genetiese studies bevestig 'n Wes-Eurasiese oorsprong vir die meeste van die Y-DNA Haplo-groep R1a1 gekoppel aan die begin van die Indo-Europese bevolkings. Oorblyfsels van die Andronovo kultuur van Suid-Siberië bevestig dat tot 90% van die Wes-Eurasiese oorsprong gedurende die Bronstydperk en feitlik uitsluitlik verband hou met Haplo-groep R1a1 (en 77% algeheel in die Brons / Ystertydperk tydraamwerk). Die DNA-toetsing het ook 'n hoë voorkoms van mense met eienskappe soos blou (of groen) oë, ligte vel en ligte hare aangedui, wat beteken dat hierdie bevolking hul oorsprong uit Europa het. Oorblyfsels in Kazakhstan van die Brons / Ystertydperke, ook van die Andronovo kultuur, was ook meestal van die weste van Eurasiese oorsprong. Verskeie 4600 jaar-oue menslike oorskot gevind by ‘n Stryd Byl kultuur opgrawing in Eulau, Duitsland, behoort aan Haplo-groep R1a1. Hierdie elemente is geneig om sterk ondersteuning van die Kurgan-hipotese te gee. Nog 'n merker wat nou ooreenstem met Kurgan migrasies, is die verspreiding van bloed groep B-allele, opgeteken deur Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza. Die verspreiding van die bloed groep B-allele in Europa stem ooreen met die voorgestelde kaart van die Kurgan-Kultuur, en Haplogroup R1a1 (YDNA) verspreiding.

Marija Gimbutas skryf dat die Kurgans (Yamnaya of Pit-graf kultuur) oënskynlik hulle migrasies in Suid-Rusland in die Oekraïense steppe by die Swart See begin het, Anatolië en Mesopotamië bereik het deur die Balkan en Griekeland, oor die Kaukasus, dan Oos na Sentraal Asië en Suid na Iran. Hierdie migrasies was verantwoordelik gewees vir al die heuwel-graf kulture wat ons van weet, selfs die wat in China (deur die Tocharians) en in die Indusvallei rondom hierdie tyd verskyn het.
Het die Kurgans as gevolg van die vloed verhuis? Was dit teen 5500 vC? Ten tye dat die Swart See se kus onder water weggesink het? Is dit die mense wat nou bekend staan as die Sumeriërs in Mesopotamië wat die tumulus hope na die suide gebring het, wat gelei het tot die bou van die ziggurats (dws gebakte grond in plaas van suiwer grond hope) en daarna die bou van die piramides van klip (waar die heuwel bouers hulle stelsel volmaak het).

Die oorspronklike tempels van die faraos in Egipte was gemaak van "modderstene" (soos in Mesopotamië), wat eers later hul bouwerk in klip gedoen het, Hierdie “nabootsing” van argitektoniese styl het daartoe gelei dat die egyptoloog Walter Emery tot die gevolgtrekking gekom het dat die farao Egiptiese kultuur sy oorsprong na 'n immigrerende groep mense kan terugspoor, uit Suid-Mesopotamië. Die Kurgans verskaf aan ons 'n "Vroeër" groep mense wat hul eie dooies in 'n soortgelyke wyse begrawe het wat beskou word as 'n tegnologiese voorloper van die latere grafheuwels van Babilon en Egipte, 'n volk vanuit Europa.

Niemand kan vir seker sê dat die verhaal van Noag en die ark slegs 'n mite of legende is en of daar dalk sekere mate van waarheid in die verhaal steek nie. Dalk is dit net 'n moralistiese storie van 'n regverdige man, goddelike morele woede en die mensdom se misdrywe. Wat wel waar is, is dat baie kulture of gelowe regoor die wêreld die storie van 'n vloed behou het. Moontlike feite ter stawing van die Genesis-verhaal het onverwags in die eerste jaar van die nuwe millennium gekom nadat sekere ontdekkings by die Swart See gemaak is. Die ontdekking van 'n Neolitiese bronstydperk-nedersetting 100 meter onder die oppervlakte van die see het wetenskaplikes laat wonder of dit nie die dorpie kon wees waarvandaan Noag gekom het nie. Dié ontdekking is deur Robert Ballard, 'n wetenskaplike van onbesproke reputasie, gemaak. Hy was ook die man wat die wrak van dieTitanic gevind en gefotografeer het. Die nedersetting is 7 500 jaar oud en is 20 km noordwes van die huidige Turkse hawestad Sinop gevind. Die ontdekking dui daarop dat die Swart See aansienlik kleiner in Noag se dae was en dat die stygende seevlakke te wyte is aan die laaste Ystydperk wat die see tot sy huidige grootte laat swel het. Die oostelike deel van die Middellandse See het dalk deur die Bosporus gebreek en katastrofale stygings in die Swart See se seevlakke veroorsaak.

Hervormings in die geloof van die Hebreërs

Die oppervlakte van die suidooste van Turkye, die noorde van Sirië en die noorde van Irak was oorspronklik die tuiste van die Halaf en die Hassuna kulture. Hulle het 'n moedergodin soortgelyk aan die een wat op Catal Hoyuk gevind was aanbid, rondom 2700 vC het ‘n nuwe stel (Kurgan) gode en godinne hul opwagting gemaak na die inval van die Hurrians, Die primêre godheid het Teshub geword, 'n perd-ryende, wapendraende storm god en die moedergodin (moontlik eens bekend as Hannahannah) is omskep in Hebat, die onderdanige eggenoot van Teshub.

Teshub (ook geskryf Teshup of Tešup, spykerskrif dIM) was die Hurrian storm- en hemelgod. Hy was afkomstig van die Hattian Taru. Sy Hetiet, en die Luwian naam is Tarhun (met variant stam vorm: Tarhunt Tarhuwant, Tarhunta), hierdie naam is uit die Hetiet wortel “tarh”, wat beteken om te verslaan, oorwin. Hy word uitgebeeld met 'n driedubbele weerlig straal en 'n wapen, gewoonlik 'n byl (dikwels dubbel-koppig) of spies. Die heilige bul algemeen regoor Anatolië was sy kenmerk dier, verteenwoordig deur sy gehoringde kroon of deur sy perde Seri en Hurri, wat sy strydwa trek of hom op die rug dra.

Archaeologists are excavating the remains of a Neolithic town. 9,000 years ago, this place was one of the world's largest settlements. At a time when most of the world's people were wandering hunter-gatherers, as many as 10,000 people lived at Çatalhöyük. "The Cult of Magna Mater, the Great Mother, is probably the oldest religion of all. The earliest stone-age sculptures depict the mother- goddess, and an idol found in Catal Hüyük, 6000 years old, depict her in the form she later became worshipped as Cybele in Phrygia, as a seated woman flanked by two leopards. The worship evolved through the millennia, but the goddess remained a symbol of the powerful female forces in the universe. Many different interpretations appeared, and various cults have interacted and mixed ideas." Anders Sandberg

Aan die westekant van die Hurrian ryk lê Kanaän, wat bestaan uit wat nou as Israel, Libanon, Sirië, Jordanië en Wes-Irak bekend is. Die Kurgan-inval van daardie gebied het plaasgevind voor die koms van opgetekende geskiedenis, sodat ons onseker is van die presiese besonderhede, sowat 2500 vC, vind ons dat die primêre godheid in die streek is El, wat later deur Jahweh 'n promiskue, jaloerse en gewelddadige stormgod van die hemel vervang was. El se eggenoot was bekend as Asherah (of Athirat in die noorde van Sirië). Dit is heel waarskynlik dat hierdie vroue van El en later Jahweh afgelei was van die oorspronklike moedergodin, net soos elders plaasgevind het.

Kanaänitiese kultuur ontwikkel na die Kurgan-inval in veel dieselfde manier soos dit in enige van die ander Kurgan verowerde gebiede plaasgevind het, die bekendstelling van die oorlog-god lei tot 'n steeds groter wordende politeïsme, en godsdiens transformeer meer in 'n instrument van sosiale en politieke beheer. Vervolging oor godsdiens was egter feitlik onbekend. Die Kurgan krygshere was tevrede met militêre beheer in hul gebiede, en so lank as wat hulle oorlog-god beskou was as die hoogste godheid, was hulle nie besorg met enige ander oortuigings wat die verowerde volk sou hê nie.

Na afloop van die Trojaanse Oorlog (ca 1200 vC) was Kanaän in puin gelaat en is die groot stede verwoes, en sy weermag byna uitgewis. Hierdie toedrag van sake het dit moontlik gemaak vir 'n nabygeleë stam nomadiese skurke en rowers om die gebied te verower. Die Egiptenare het hulle die Shasu of die Habiru genoem, wat later bekend geword het as die Hebreërs.

Shasu Shasu is 'n Egiptiese woord vir nomadiese herders wat in die Levant en Arabië teenwoordig was vanuit die vyftiende eeu vC tot die Derde Intermediêre tydperk. Die naam is ontwikkel van 'n transliterasie van die Egiptiese woord š3sw, wat beteken "diegene wat te voet beweeg," in die term Shasu, vir die Bedoeïen-tipe swerwers. Die term was die eerste keer in 'n vyftiende eeuse lys van mense in Transjordan gevind. Dit word gebruik in 'n lys van vyande geskryf op die kolom basisse aan die tempel van die Soleb gebou wat deur die farao Amenhotep III gebou was. Later gekopieer deur Seti I of Ramses II te Amarah-Wes, die lys noem ses groepe van Shashu: die Shasu S'rr, die Shasu van Lbn, die Shasu van Sm't, die Shasu van Wrbr, die Shasu van Yhw , en die Shasu van Pysps.

Habiru of Apiru Habiru of Apiru of ˁpr.w (Egipties) is die naam gegee deur verskeie Sumeriese, Egiptiese, Akkadies, Hetiete, Mitanni, en Ugarities bronne (gedateer, ongeveer tussen 1800 vC en 1100 vC) vir 'n groep van mense, nomadiese besetters in die gebiede van die vrugbare halfmaan van Noordoostelike Mesopotamië en Iran tot by die grens van Egipte, in die land Kanaän. Afhangende van die bron en tydperk word hierdie Habiru onder andere beskryf as nomadiese of semi nomadiese, rebelle, misdadigers, stropers, huursoldate, en boogskutters, diensknegte, slawe, trekarbeiders, ens.

Die Hebreërs het 'n gewelddadige, jaloerse stamgod wat bekend staan as die HERE (Jahweh) aanbid, wat afgelei is van die Sumeriese god Enlil, wat 'n Kurgan-oorlog-god was met baie soortgelyke eienskappe. Vir 'n paar eeue het die Hebreërs die Kanaänietiese Jahweh(Enlil) gelyk gestel met El en Asherah en het Astarte as gade van Jahweh aanbid. Oor tyd egter, het die Hebreeuse priesters van Jahweh begin om dit te beskou as 'n bedreiging vir hul politieke posisie en het gepoog om 'n totale monopolie oor die mag en rykdom wat godsdiens meebring vir hulself te eien. Om dit te bereik, het hulle verklaar dat die godsdienste van die Kanaäniete hulle mense korrupteer, en dat net die aanbidding van Jahweh aanvaarbaar is.

Asárja, die seun van Oded 'n profeet, vermaan die Hebreeuse Koning Asa (912 vC – 871 vC) om streng nasionale nakoming van Judaïsme te versterk, en Asa het ag geslaan en begin deur die vernietiging van al die Kanaänitiese tempels in Juda en omgewing, asook die moord op al sy priesters en priesteresse.

ASA (Hebreeus: אָסָא, Grieks: Ασα, Latyns: Asa) was die derde, koning van die koninkryk van Juda en die vyfde koning van die Huis van Dawid. Die Hebreeuse Bybel gee sy tydperk van sy regering as 41 jaar. Sy bewind is gedateer tussen 912 vC tot 871 vC. Asa was ywerig in die handhawing van die tradisionele aanbidding van Jahweh, en die uitroei van sogenaamde afgodery, met die gepaardgaande immoraliteite (1 Konings 15:8-14).

What documents and archeology say about king Asa: Archeology is investigating the hill of ruins of Mizpa (Tell en-Nasbe) and cannot find any fortress work which could be allocated to king Asa, but there are many ruins that can be allocated to a time of 200 years after (p.255 Israel Finkelstein / Neil A. Silberman: The Bible unearthed).

Volgende, rondom 840 vC het Koning Jehu in massa elke nie Hebreër vermoor in Samaria, en hulle tempels vernietig, sodoende was hy verantwoordelik vir die moord van meer as 30,000 mans, vroue en kinders.

Josía, of Yoshiyahu (Hebreeus: יֹאשִׁיָּהוּ, Tiberian Yôšiyyāhû, wat letterlik beteken "Jahweh genees" of "ondersteun deur Jahweh (YHWH)"; Grieks: Ιωσιας, Latyns: Josias,) was 'n koning van Juda (641-609 vC), wat belangrike hervormings ingestel het. Josía, word deur die meeste historici gekrediteer met skryf van belangrike Joodse geskrifte tydens die Deuteronomiese hervorming wat plaasgevind het tydens sy heerskappy.

In die agttiende jaar van sy regering, het Josía, die hoëpriester Hiskía beveel dat die belasting geld wat oor die jare versamel is gebruik moet word om die tempel op te knap. Dit was gedurende hierdie tyd dat Hiskía die boek van die wet ontdek het. Terwyl Hiskía glo besig was met die skoonmaak van die skat kamer van die tempel het hy volgens oorlewering die boek gevind wat beskryf was as "die boek van die wet" of as "die boek van die wet van Jahweh deur die diens van Moses", die term "die boek van die Torah" (ספר התורה) in 2 Konings 22:08 is identies aan die term wat gebruik word in Josua 1:8 en 8:34 wat die heilige geskrifte wat Josua van Moses ontvang het beskryf. Die boek het ‘n het ‘n heel nuwe era ingelui met betrekking tot die rituele en praktyke rondom Jahweh aanbidding . Hiskía het hierdie boek onder Josia se aandag gebring, waarna die koning beveel het dat dit aan 'n skare in Jerusalem gelees moet word. Hy is geprys vir hierdie vroomheid deur die profetes Hulda, wat profeteer dat almal betrokke sou sterf sonder dat hulle Jahweh se oordeel oor Juda sal sien vir die sondes wat hulle gepleeg het in hul vorige geslagte. Wat baie eienaardig is, is dat die inhoud van die boek nie welbekend met die skrifgeleerdes van die tyd was nie, daarom moet aanvaar word dat hierdie “wet van Moses” nuwe inligting bevat wat nie voorheen aan die volk bekend was nie, wat baie vrae behoort te laat ontstaan.

Toe, in 620 vC het koning Josía alle nie Hebreeuse godsdienste in die hele Kanaän verbied, al die oorblywende tempels vernietig, en al hul priesters en priesteresse vermoor.

Jewry: Fake and truth in the Old Testament (OT) according to documents and excavations

New identity by new Jewish history by help of chronology and archaeological research

639-609 B.C.: Mini Reich of Judah under child king Josiah - publication of the first 4 books of Moses - war propaganda books for a reunification

New Jewish leadership under 8 years old Josia is propagating a new "holy book" with propaganda for reunification

by Michael Palomino

from: Israel Finkelstein / Neil A. Silberman: The Bible unearthed. Archeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts

---

Publications with a new "Holy Scripture" in mini Reich of Judah in Jerusalem

In fact the "one god movement" under child king of Josiah is taking over the power in the state now. The writers of the OT are distributing their books with their view of history, and with all the invented stories provoking new hopes (p.295). They achieve provoking a messianic atmosphere (p.305).

The new "holy books" with their statal epos of Mose and with the laws are literally a completely new dimension of manipulation for the region of Judah. It's the first time that a historical statal identity is claimed (p.310). Monopoly having survived as a mini state of Judah until this time is used fully for an own historiography (p.244).

The responsibles around child king Josiah especially want to eliminate the religious center in the ex northern Reich of Israel, Bethel, so Jerusalem would have the monopoly of cults, and that's why the texts of the OT are written always against the "North Reich" [with all possible calumniations] (p.185).

According to Finkelstein / Silberman the books of Moses are the "creative expression of a mighty religions reform movement flouring during the Late Iron Age in kingdom of Judah. Well, there might be a certain historical core that is true in these stories, but they are mainly an ideology and world view of the writers." (p.34-35).

[In fact the "one god movement" is a religious racist terrorist movement with the aim of the elimination of all other cults with whose the population has lived well until that moment].


The new religious "one god identity" in the mini kingdom of Judah

Kingdom of Judah is - whereas there is only a tiny kingdom - with or without consciousness the patron of the mental intellectual [religious racist] "1 god movement" (p.297).

The invented books of Moses are the mean supporting religious reforms and claims for territories of the kingdom of Judah (p.35) creating a new pan Israeli identity (p.107). Add to this the books of Moses are corrected many times in the following centuries, or redacted or censored. The books themselves have an effect in the current policy and in the political development of the Middle East (p.35).

[Worst is the claim for a big Empire between Nile river and Euphrates river for a big Jewish Empire, claimed in first book of Moses 15,18, not corrected until today].


The books of Moses 1 to 4 are said giving a "past" to Judah

• the myth of Israel in the books of Moses 1 to 4 is said supporting the identity (p.306)
  
  
• the past of shepherds of the "patriarchs" of Israel is a dreamy romantic vision (p.58)
  
  
• the tradition of the patriarchs is presented as a kind of pious prehistory as if there had been a "one god dominance" already in Moses' times (p.59)
  
  
• the sequence of the episodes of the patriarchs is arbitrary (p.58)
  
  
• the power of the legend invents a rise from the folks of shepherds to the temple of Jerusalem (p.60)
  
  
• the books of Moses claim that the populations of the kingdoms of Judah (in the South) and Israel (in the North) would be one single family (p.60)
  
  
• the books of Moses are a propagandistic trial giving the population of Judah and Israel an older past as it is in fact, because thenational consciousness had been created only a short time before (p.59).

The episodes of the patriarchs express dreams of Judah in the 7th century B.C. with a postulation of superiority against the neighbors. The promise claims that Judah would never collapse. At the same time the Israelites of the collapsed northern Reich is rated as an outsider in respect of Judah. The northern and southern tradition are absorbed in the same way underlining an invented superiority of Judah (p.58).

By a special story there are the claims of Judah expressed for Assyrian occupied land of Israel: In Genesis 14 the faked Abraham is expelling the Mesopotamian kings to Dan and Damascus, with the liberation of his nephew Lot from a stay as hostage of the Mesopotamian kings included (Genesis 14,14-15) (p.59).

Judah considers the northern Reich of Israel quasi as a heritage (p.59).

And also the racist instruction of the prevention of marriages with the newly settled deported peoples from Mesopotamia in ex kingdom of Israel is not missing in the books of Moses (p.59).


The new classification of the Jews and the Canaanites

This new "holy book" claims the first time in the world that Jews are not Canaanites:

• Canaanites and Israeli are classified as different, and the Canaanites are systematically degraded
• mixed marriages are prohibited (p.304).

As the population can the first time read and write, the "holy books" have a great effect. But one has to consider that these "holy books" are the preparation for a new great war (p.304), and under a child king...


The new justification for the collapse of the northern Reich of Israel: "sinful" kings

OT is using certain stories, texts, and archives. The aim is among others to find a new theological justification for the collapse of the northern kingdom of Israel in 720 B.C. By this all kings of the North Reich of Israel are presented in a negative way, mostly with the reproach of deeds "which displeased to the Lord", "sins" etc. (p.243).

The long time of life of the northern kingdom of Israel is justified by the fact that the "sinful" kings also had their merits (p.244). The climax of the stories about the North Reich in the chronicle of the books of Kings is not king Ahab, not king Jeroboam II or the collapse, but is the necrology with the list of all the alleged "sins" of northern Reich of Israel (p.244-245).

The prophets of the northern Reich of Israel are not cited in the OT, respectively according to OT they are said having been "false prophets" (p.244).

According to the invented OT the collapse of the northern kingdom of Israel is said having been a warning that Judah not will loose it's heritage, too. By this argumentation of the "collapse" the clique of power around the child king Josiah, later Josiah himself and also his successors, always install a harder legislation in religious questions (p.245-246).

Above all OT is inventing that there was always a "1 god belief" (p.270).

[resp. in the OT counts: Only the "1 god belief" is a "good" belief].


The invention of a new past with the holy tribe of Judah

The "1 god movement" tries to prevail with geographic manipulations now:

• kingdom of Judah is presented as if there had been always a special position for Judah
  
  
• the patriarchs are said having been buried in the cave of Machapelah
  
  
• the tribe of Judah is said having received the order governing the other tribes (Genesis 49,8)
  
  
• Judeans are said having kept a special loyalty to the commandments of God
  
  
• and faked king David is said having been born in the village of Bethlehem and is said having occupied the town of Jerusalem which is said having been the holy hot spot for the population of Israel in these times already (p.249).

The "Holy Scriptures" as a propaganda for the reunification with the northern ex kingdom of Israel

Well, these books of Moses should manipulate the Jews in Israel for a reunification movement. Kingdom of Judah has to tell the lie to the population of the ex kingdom of Israel in the North

• that in former times there had been a common occupation of all the land
  
  
• and that these inhabitants would belong to the kingdom of Judah now (p.111).

The theology of the 7th century B.C. develops a connection between the heirs of an alleged "David" and the fate of the whole population of Israel (p.161). The invented stories about a David and a Solomon with their foundations of kingdoms and conquests serve as a vision for another Empire unifying all Israelites to one single goal of an expansion (p.161), quasi as a prophecy (p.162).

To reach these goals there are new laws published claiming that there will be a revenge of God when they are not obeyed (Deuteronomy and Deuteronomistic History) (p.268, 269).

[It seems strange that the writers of the OT are not conscious of the fact of the overextention of the borderlines as it seems].


Josiah as a new "David" - the installation of a desire of the dimensions of Abraham

Josiah is said to be a new "David" for a re-installation of the glory of the alleged ancestors, but with harsh loyalty to God without "idolatry" and without "sin" as committed under the alleged Solomon (p.162).

The clique of power under the child king Josiah is proclaiming Josiah as a successor of an invented kingdom of the kings David and Solomon which is much too big. The clique of power is painting a picture of the past of Israel with a Reich of David in Abraham's dimensions provoking a political desire with the OT that Israel should be big again, according to 1st book of Kings 5,5 at least a uniform Reich from Dan down to Beersheba (p.162).

Well, the past was another one with a developed state in the North (Omrids) and with a shepherd region in the South. But truth is not important in the OT (S.167-168).


Judah and Jerusalem want to push through the claim to leadership with this "Holy Scripture"

Judah as the "survivor" of the two kingdoms Israel and Judah has got the important conserved temple of God of Israel.

The leading clique wants to present this and the surviving of the Assyrian attacks with this statal epos spreading a new statal idea and enforcing the unity in Judah as also of the scattered Israeli communities in Assyria (p.57). Judah considers itself as a natural heir of all Israeli territories. And with this idea these stories of the patriarchs (books of Moses) are created (p.57).

The invented common past with 4 books of Moses - religious cleansing under child king Josiah
The oldest books of the Bible, the first 4 books of Moses [later called "Pentateuch" with the 5th book of Moses] were written all in the 7th century B.C. in Jerusalem (p.16).

And now comes the religious cleansing:

The clique of power around child king of Josiah wants to put through the monopoly of cult in Jerusalem claiming for example that the Israeli inhabitants in Assyrian occupied "northern Reich" had to come to perform their cult in Jerusalem. By this the clique of power is disqualifying the cult in the northern territory resp. the cult in the "northern Reich" is qualified as "bad" (p.186).

According to the moral in the OT child king Josiah has to neutralize the sins of Salomon and Jeroboam, so "Judah" will flourish: There is a religious cleansing needed, above all the destruction of the center of cults in the North, Bethel (p.186).

The Jewish temple of Jerusalem is said to be unique because

• there are no international relations maintained
• there are no other gods or religious symbols adhered

as it is the case in other temples of other religions (p.13).

The flood of other influences from outside shall be eliminated declaring all traces of other beliefs as atrocities by king Josiah (descendant of David in it's 16th generation). OT indicates that the foreign beliefs are even the cause for the collapse of the Reich of Israel (p.13).

[Now all other religions are declared as scapegoats in a religious racist way. Christianity will repeat this criminal tactics later].


The relegious cleansing: Private households are going on adhering Astarte

In the ruins of bigger Judean locations in the private houses archeology finds many figurines of women which can be allocated to the end of the 7th century, with women holding their breasts in their hands. According to Finkelstein / Silberman these figurines are generally identified as goddess Astarte. It seems that the reforms of the government of Josiah did not have an effect in all private houses (p.309).

[For example it's possible that these figurines were banned from public buildings and sold to private people where the figurines were not prohibited].


Jerusalem's plans for another expansion - and there is needed a fictive conquest under "Joshua" which had been once already...

Stating that there is another expansion needed, any government presents the vision that there had been one already, and also the government of child king Josiah is doing this with the forged Moses book:

There are parallels to the book of Joshua
The mini kingdom of Judah under Josiah is planning a pan Israelite kingdom with the temple in Judah as a center (p.13). The fictive expansion by a conquest of the hilly countries in the north in book of Joshua corresponds to the re-expansion of the kingdom of Judah to the traditional "bread basket" of the country, an indispensable fertile region (p.109).

There are parallels to the book of Judges: The syndrome of "David" of the child king of Josiah
The description of a boy of "David" winning against a "Goliath" in the book of Judges corresponds with the fantasy that the new child king, the boy Josiah, is considered as a second "David" (p.139).

There are parallels to the book of Judges: Mortal racism against members of other religions
Tn the books of Judges the population with other religions in the country is considered as a danger as it is also considered a danger by the clique of power under child king Josiah (p.138).

And there is the justification of the Assyrian occupation of the ex kingdom of Israel in the book of Joshua

The book of Joshua has to find a plausible religious justification for the Assyrian occupation of northern ex kingdom of Israel. So, the writers of the book of Joshua state that the whole occupation had happened

• because the Jews had not behaved enough holy
• because they had not destroyed all idolatry
• because they had adhered to other gods
• because they had not considered the purity requirements etc. (p.110).

King Josiah's real claims of power and the parallelizations in the book of Joshua with the fictive conquest

• Jericho and Ai in the region of Bethel are the first imperialist goals of Joshua - and accidentally these are important posts left by the Assyrian army leaving the Assyrian province of Samaria [ex kingdom of Israel]
  
  
• Jericho is the southeastern outpost of the northern Reich of Israel and also the southeastern outpost of the Assyrian province of Samaria
  
  
• until the Assyrian occupation Bethel is the cultural center of the northern Reich of Israel and is hated by the "1 god movement", and Bethel is a focus of the Assyrian settlement of non Israelite population then (p.108).

The real request not to be destroyed: the integration of the Assyrian deportees

In the book of Joshua the Gibeonites are requesting not to be eliminated. This could be a paralleled action to the requests of the successors of the Assyrian population which was settled in the ex kingdom of Israel: This Assyrian population will request at the clique of power of mini kingdom of Judah not to be eliminated but to be integrated (p.108).

For example there is the question of the integration of the population of Avvim (Joshua 18,23). Certain bible researcher mean that in Avvim were settled Assyrian deportees from Awa (2d book of Kings 17,24) (p.108).


The fictive victory against a northern coalition in the book of Joshua is the best "vision"

The depiction of the conquest is the vision for the plans of the clique of power of child king Josiah, and every Jew who is reading the book of Joshua and agrees with it, is expressing with this the desire and conviction of the Jewish leadership of that time (p.110). The conquest under the faked Joshua is a vision for a future conquest of the whole ex kingdom of Israel under the clique of power of the child king Josiah (p.109).

The similarity of the names of king Josiah and the faked war leader Joshua also seems to be wanted. King Josiah shall present himself as the "savior of the whole people of Israel" (p.110).

[Addition: the 4 books of Moses are a war book - and there are other war books

So, the book of Joshua is a precise manipulation of the subconsciousness of the Jewish population for an imperial war. The 4 books of Moses are like an antique and racist war book with racism against other religions and with imperialist goals claiming an empire from the Nile river to the Euphrates river. Other dictatorships also have written their war books ending in self destruction...]

Godsdienstige Volksmoorde georkestreer deur Jahweh

Die godsdienstige volksmoorde van die Hebreërs, het uiteindelik tot 'n einde gekom rondom 600 vC, toe die streek eers deur die Babiloniërs en daarna deur Persië oorgeneem is. Dit sou byna 1000 jaar duur voordat die volgende poging om 'n absolute godsdienstige monopolie te vestig sou plaasvind, en weereens getrou aan die natuur van Jahweh/Enlil was die volgelinge van Jahweh verantwoordelik hiervoor. Hierdie keer sou hulle hulself Christene noem, maar net soos die Hebreërs te werk gegaan het, sou hulle deur middel van massa-moord poog om al die ander godsdienste te vernietig maar hierdie keer op 'n veel groter skaal.

Dit moet duidelik wees dat geen werklike geestelike wese in so 'n wyse sou optree nie, en geen ware godheid die begeerte sal he of aansluit by sulke aksies nie. Daar word gesê dat ons nie die HERE kan blameer vir die foute van sy volgelinge nie, maar in die waarheid, is daar geen foute begaan nie. Die aard van die HERE, soos beskryf in die Ou en Nuwe Testament, sowel as ons historiese begrip van Sy karakter as 'n Kurgan oorlogs-god, toon duidelik dat hy 'n jaloerse, wrede en gewelddadige godheid is. Natuurlik sal iemand wat so 'n entiteit aanbid hom uiteindelik naboots.

Dit is geen toeval dat die Christene vanaf sowat 400 nC tot so onlangs as 1800 nC voortgegaan het deur marteling en moord te gebruik om omskakeling af te dwing nie. Hierdie is nie geïsoleerde handelinge deur 'n paar misleide volgelinge of 'n waansinnige predikant nie, maar is in werklikheid beplan en georkestreer op die hoogste vlakke, in letterlik duisende gevalle, deur die bekende biskoppe en pouse onder leiding van Jahweh/Enki.

In enige kultuur is die eerste bron van menslike waardes hul godsdiens. Selfs voordat 'n kind die skool betree, leer hulle die basiese waardes van hul ouers, en daardie waardes is gewoonlik ontleen uit hul godsdiens. Om 'n gewelddadige oorlogs-God, wat mense vir die geringste oortredings straf en hulle in die hel verbrand te aanbid, vestig 'n vreeslike verhouding in ons bewussyn. Hierdie soort van foutiewe paradigmas, van oorheersing en gewelddadige vergelding, het vir eeue ons in onnodige oorloë, huishoudelike geweld, kindermishandeling, en alle vorme van lyding gelei. Slegs deur die wortel van die probleem aan te spreek, en hierdie foutiewe paradigmas met waardes van liefde te vervang, kan ons hoop dat die manier waarop mense dink en optree sal verander, en die herstel van 'n behoorlike respek vir die lewe, die natuur en die omgewing geskep word.
