One God Left
One God Left, who was He? Why it was the God of the Jews, the one that freed the Israelites from Egypt. All the other gods were gone, that's why he could do what he wished. All that he did made him look almighty. If the others were still around, he would not have had the power he had on Earth.
Yes He was in command now and could do as he pleased, with no interference from any other god. When you study the Erra Epos, Erra's qualification seems to match the Hebrew Gods.
Think about what the Hebrew God accomplished in his ruling the earth. The 400 years that the bible talks about is when many things must have been happening. But he showed up and he frees the people of Abraham from slavery to Egyptian Gods
Those other gods weren't here anymore, so surely they didn't need those slaves, the people of Abraham.
Remember this?
Who ever wrote the Hebrew Bible has to copy text from other manuscripts.
There is no doubt in my mind he made a story to give the Hebrews a history.
We would probable be surprised who and when it was written because no one knows who or when it was put together.
So on to the Promise Land they went, conquering city after city, this was no problem for him, why there was no other god around to stop him.
So he sets up his Temple and Salem now becomes Jerusalem. But remember the laws he had given to Moses? They still had to follow them plus others he would set up. Many of these Laws the people of Israel still follow to this day.
Now one of these laws, we think you should pay attention to, is found in the Ten Commandments. It is love your neighbors as yourself. Opps there it is, He is a God of Love. But if this is the case, why would he put restrictions on his people.
What restrictions was this, you may ask? He told them to put up mounds of rocks as a border marker so that his people wouldn't go beyond his land he had them mark off.

Lets take a look at the ancient map of Israel
let see if we can make out border lines on the map.
Remember there were 12 Tribes he had to settle, so perhaps we can just about see where the border markers was located.
Anyways he didn't want them to go on the other side of his boundaries. So they asked him the big question, WHY.
Had he give them an answer? Yes, way before they ever asked, look at:
Did you see, Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Yes he was in fear of loosing his servants, his slaves. That was the first commandment.
Lets go further Deuteronomy: 13:6:
6 If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known,
7 gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other),
8 do not yield to them or listen to them. Show them no pity. Do not spare them or shield them.
9 You must certainly put them to death. Your hand must be the first in putting them to death, and then the hands of all the people.
10 Stone them to death, because they tried to turn you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
11 Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and no one among you will do such an evil thing again.
Wow, he was serious, a jealous god was He. But no other gods was around why worry. Well there still were kings that had the habit of having slaves.
“Let us go and worship other gods”
If anyone didn't obey, it spelled a death sentence for them.
At this point we need to look at a faithful Servant that really was in touch with this god. His name was Jeremiah. Look what he said:
23:11 For both prophet and priest are profane; even, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD. My temple is full of their idolatry and superstitions.
Things weren't going right for this god. the peoples started doing all kinds of crazy things. Things like defiling the temple and his worship. What would he do? Stay or go? Well a lot happens in the life of Jeremiah, even to the point of them being captured in Babylonia for 70 years
Not much is said of how Jeremiah died. But other prophets took his place. And all we can see by reading the Bible things didn't go well for this god. So what happened to him? Where did he go?
Now there came a time where no GODS were associated with the seed of humans on the Earth.
Even the Hebrew god left or died. Why do we say this? It is because even though a lot went on in the final days of ancient Israel, there came a time when no gods were seen or heard of or had anything to do with the human family.
What did this mean? Was there any gods left on earth? So on to No Gods Left.

- And God spake all these words, saying, I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (Exodus 20:1-3)
Did you see, Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Yes he was in fear of loosing his servants, his slaves. That was the first commandment.
