Deciphering the history of the Israelites
Canaan and ‘Israel/Judah’: The Old Testament Riddle
As with the previous post, the issue of the Israelites comes up, and confuses us.
I would put it flat out: without seeing that history in the light of the eonic effect it will make no sense.
One problem is the primitive character of the theology behind which we see the enigma of a greater historical dynamic. Confusing those two has always spelt doom for theologians and secularists both.
There are two different processes on two different levels, what the eonic model calls micro-action and macro-action.
In terms fo the model the form of the macro-action is only indirectly connected with the micro-action, i.e. the history of the actual Israelites who invented a religion.
I should also point out that the IHVH glyph referencing something that should not be spoken indicates somewhere in the background a far more sophisticated religiousness than what later crystallized as monotheism.
