The real goods on Yahweh

I’ve cited this terrific book earlier here

And as a supplement here is a YouTube video with the author that provides some extracts that clarify some aspects of this pathological being:

Looking to find the first appearance of Yahweh in the Middle East, a Biblical site noted that the date appears in Egypt, Canaan, and Israel in Ancient Times by Donald B. Redford [Princeton University Press, 1992, Page 272 ff.].

“ … ‘the Land of Shasu’ [East of the Arabah] … has an interesting … name in the mentioned lists from Soleb and Amarah — Yhw (in) the land of the Shasu.” For half a century it has been generally admitted that we have here the tetragrammaton, the name of the Israelite god, “Yahweh.”— “ … a most precious indication of the whereabouts during the late fifteenth century B.C. of an enclave revering this god.”

So, Yahweh is present from, at least, 1500 B.C. and lives until …

This is where I planned to take up his death, 1200 years later or more?

The source(s) for his death date are hard to come by. I have several and will present them with my thesis that Yahweh didn’t live until the Jesus era and couldn’t be the father of that man, even by way of angelic insemination.

But my hypothesis about Yahweh and gods have little to do with fatherhood and more to do with Yahwism, and other movements to stoke the fires and myths about men who were said to be gods, but weren’t; they were extraordinary humans.

And in the case of Yahweh, and the death of his said-to-be son, the consequences turned out to be very bad for the Romans and Jews, the Jews more so than the Roman Empire.

Get the God, an Anatomy book or at least try to make it through the 90 minute video with the author and her articulate host (whose need for water was irritating to see but a real necessity).

Next time, I’ll provide the death date of Yahweh and the finding of his bones.
