Creation Battle

At the beginning of the Bible, we are talking about the creation of the world. In six days, God built the foundation of the earth, filled it with animals, and finally created a human before creation. However, during the years of Bible study, I occasionally noticed the description of the magnificent battle that occurred before God created men. My religious professor also suggested briefly the battle of creation in several lessons, and our textbook briefly discussed this.

This epic is one of the most important materials for understanding the Babylonian worldview. In 7 tablets, it describes the creation of the world, the battle between the gods that focuses on Maduk's advantage, the creation of people who serve the gods of Mesopotamia, and the length of praise for Maduk. Paragraphs Some versions are known to be used for specific festivals, but may have a mythical political element that focuses on the legalization and advantage of Mesopotamia. Several later versions replaced Maduk and Azul, the main god of Assyria.

In the last article, I learned about the theme of the Old Testament "Space War". This is a magnificent struggle created by Jehovah with the "sea" (or the water or sea monster Rahab or Leviyan). You can clearly see this fight with some psalms and work. It is reflected in other parts of the Old Testament, such as Ezekiel and Genesis 1. I also mentioned Psalms 74 and 77 (two examples) who are using the space battle language to portray Egypt. This will be an article of today. The Israeli people believe that escape from Egypt is another space war - reappearance. At that time and now, against the pharaohs and the Egyptian gods - a "battle of thought" was being fought

The outflow from Egypt is a review of the space war. If you miss this battle of the universe, understanding about the theology of Exodus will be poor. The Biblical explanation of creation is not about modern science. Because it speaks another story, it can not "tune" with modern cosmology or biology. Pest is a rich and true Bible window of creation theology. In the next article we will explore other aspects of this theology at Exodus.

I chose the theme of "space war" in the Bible only to solve this more holy creation idea. It's not just an angle, it's just an angle. In the coming weeks and months we will explore different perspectives. But for the moment, we continue to pay attention to the Old Testament 's space war, and today we will begin Egyptian studies. We saw the theme of creation in Exodus 1: 6. The Israelites came to Egypt, "They are rich, multiplied, and very many" (1: 7). That is language creation (Genesis 1: 28). We also see that the people of God "grows" all the time in Genesis (eg: 8: 17; 17: 2; 26: 4; 28: 14). It was increased by the order of God at the time of creation, it is done by the people of God - even Egypt
