Many will not see the truth for they are blinded, by the evil they do not see.

Zechariah 12:1-9
The Coming Deliverance of Judah
12 The burden of the word of the Lord against Israel. Thus says the Lord, who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him: 2 "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. 3 And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it. 4 In that day," says the Lord, "I will strike every horse with confusion, and its rider with madness; I will open My eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness. 5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the Lord of hosts, their God. 6 In that day I will make the governors of Judah like a firepan in the woodpile, and like a fiery torch in the sheaves; they shall devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left, but Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place-Jerusalem.
7 "The Lord will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not become greater than that of Judah. 8 In that day the Lord will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; the one who is feeble among them in that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the Angel of the Lord before them. 9 It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Bottom line. The devil loses and God wins. Now if you reject that, it is your choice. Just remember it doesn't matter whether or not you like the truth, it is still the truth.
I see the hatred on all sides being ever increased. This really does sadden me. The devil is desperate to destroy Gods chosen to try and make God a liar, it is the only way he can win. But GOD is not a liar, He is the TRUTH !!!! Satan, and his followers are the liars.
Please understand that God has given wisdom to see, to those who will see. His word is showing what has happened,is happening, and will happen.
There is no joy in the death of any, only the sadness of knowing that satan is taking as many as he can.-

God doesn't play favorites. We are all children of God. Why should He/She favor the Jews above all others? The Egyptians had the concept of one God when the Hebrews were still worshiping Abraham's household gods. The Egyptians also had the concept of a resurrection long before the Hebrews did. Which is why for 3,000 years they took care to mummify the bodies of the dead and built the most impressive structures ever known. If you must quote the Bible, then quote the New Testament where Jesus and the disciples have said that the Jews are cast off because they rejected Jesus. Today's Jews are the same Pharisees that hated Jesus and set out to destroy him. Especially those in Israel.

both judaism and christianity have heavily borrowed and plagiarized their legends and mythologies from other religions.

the egyptians were the FIRST monotheists although, admittedly, not for very long as it didn't properly assist certain politically ambitious individuals and interests at that time. mainly the priests of the ol' time multi-god religion who had their power base severely undermined (amazing how not much ever changes)
the hebrews were ENSLAVED by the egyptians.
well gee.... i wonder where the hebrews got THEIR idea of monotheism from!! [rolls eyes] and when morale is low after 40 years of nomadic living throw in a little pep talk about "promised lands" and "god's chosen" and bada bing bada boom!.... everyone is pumped and ready to keep moving (until someone says that the next fairly clear piece of dirt is it).
for "reasonable" people to actually accept these, let's face it, complete insane and wacko religious beliefs unquestioningly for centuries, without an interest in the historical context in which they were born -- people such as cowboygrandpa -- is evidence of just how malleable and easily indoctrinated the human mind is and how superficial and lacking "the easily led masses" are in intellectual curiosity.
karl marx was right.
religion is the opiate of the people. mystical propaganda --an easy form of social control-

"Religion is, indeed, the self-consciousness and self-esteem of man who has either not yet won through to himself, or has already lost himself again. But man is no abstract being squatting outside the world. Man is the world of man—state, society. This state and this society produce religion, which is an inverted consciousness of the world, because they are an inverted world. Religion is the general theory of this world, its encyclopedic compendium, its logic in popular form, its spiritual point d'honneur, its enthusiasm, its moral sanction, its solemn complement, and its universal basis of consolation and justification. It is the fantastic realization of the human essence since the human essence has not acquired any true reality. The struggle against religion is, therefore, indirectly the struggle against that world whose spiritual aroma is religion. Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo."
