Part I
PREFACE
We are here because…choose your own reason. I believe there is a power, presence, province – a god – that has created the universe and that we, humans on planet earth, are merely an infinitesimally small part thereof and we are here for only an equally tiny span of time.
Scientists claim the earth is billions of years old and it most likely is. The explanation might be that, according to the Bible: G-d created the heavens and earth in three days. He didn’t make the sun until the fourth day. Thus, those first “days” could have been billions of years long – time for another “god” to develop the planet earth, a sun, dinosaurs and “pre-historic” man in his image. That first sun could have burned out killing all inhabitants…then along comes our G_d? To carry this to its logical conclusion, perhaps a god created the occupants of UFOs/spaceships who have conquered the 4thdimension (and 5th, 6th 7th….), thus enabling these advanced aliens to engage in tourist trips to view us and other planets. In other words, if our G-d could create us, He or another god, could originate them.
The opinions and observations tendered in this treatise are based on my reading of the Bible’s Old Testament, The Torah, and as a 6th generation American Jew.
SELECT, BRIEF BIBLICAL TIMELINE
Hebrew/Jewish Year One (3761 BCE) G_d creates heaven, earth and light and Adam & Eve in Canaan (later called Palestine and now identified as present-day Israel).
Hebrew/Jewish year 1600 (2100 BCE) +/- G_d tells Abraham (the first Hebrew/Jew) his seed – his descendants – are to be the leaders of the world if they keep the covenant that all male children are circumcised. In addition, G_d promises all the land of Canaan to His Chosen People.
Hebrew/Jewish year 2500 (1400 BCE) +/- Abraham’s descendant, Moses, after leading his people out of Egyptian bondage and then receiving the 10-Commandments, arrives at the Promised Land (then called Canaan).
Hebrew/Jewish year 3100 (600 BCE) +/- Muhammad, a man born in the city of Mecca, located in present day Saudia Arabia, believes he hears directly from G_d. His teachings/prophecies become the Quran, and his followers are called Muslims.
Hebrew/Jewish year 3200 (500 BCE) +/- The first recorded notation identifying Palestine/Israel is by Greek historians who referred to this land as Palestine without acknowledging the difference between Canaanites, Palestinians and The Chosen People/Hebrews/Jews.
Hebrew/Jewish year 3800 (1 BCE/CE) +/- Jesus Christ, a Hebrew, is born in Canaan/Palestine. He is heralded as a son of G_d, a Messiah – though there is no direct biblical promise from G_d of sending a messiah.
Hebrew/Jewish year 5709 (1948 CE) The United Nations recognizes a portion of the land of Canaan/Palestine as the Jewish State of Israel. War breaks out and continues today.
Hebrew/Jewish year 5786 (2025 CE) Wars are fought between those who believe they are the good and their enemy is the evil/bad. The people/citizens of Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, America… support their warriors. Warriors are the extension of the people they represent, i.e., the people are each other’s enemy – each side believing they are the good guys. The unification of Hamas, Hezbollah, Iranians, Palestinians, “radical Islamics” is their commonality of Islam. They subscribe to the teaching of the Quran which does not allow for any other religion. (Islam means submission to G_d. Muslims are those who practice Islam). Worldwide, there are over 2-Billion Islamic/Muslims – a fourth of the planet’s population and the second largest religion.
