Spiritual Existence
God and the Devil.
From Many Gods to a Single God
Faith in One God.
Faith in One God
God a single supreme being.
Christianity emerged out of Judaism, and the Islamic faith drew apron both these religions, and that is why they have so many similarities between them. The common understanding between these religions is that there is a battle between God and the Devil. The understanding of these religions is that the creator of the Universe is God.ia
However, Ancient civilizations believed in praying for many Gods. Some companionate some thoughtful gods for everything that was a path of their lives; they worship a Pentium of Gods, some worship good Gods, and some worship the bad Gods, each governed a different aspect of daily life. You would appeal to one god if there were a drought, or you would appeal to another God if your enemies beseeched you.Then in the Torah or five books of Moses, the Jews started to describe a singular omnipresent deity. The great achievement of the Jews at that time was to arrive at the concept of a single God a single supreme being.
Faith in One God
By the seventh century BC, their belief in multiple deities disappeared from Juded law, and the concept of monotheism became prevalent; the idea of one god makes Israel and the people of Israel unique; this was virtually unheard of. The Jews believed that their all-powerful God was not only a god of love but also a God of vengeance. This God was all-forgiving, bounties merciful, generous, and life-giving, but this god would not let the guilty get away free. This was a god that chose its people and punished them if they were sinful and did not worship him properly; he punished the Jews for 40 years and destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for being corrupt. Faith in one strong sole deity remained strong among the Jews of the enchanted world for many years, but their belief that he was the creator of all evil on earth did not last.
THE DEVIL
SATAN HASETEN
Early in the Hebrew Bible, Satan was described as being in the service of God, but over time, he grew rebellious and subversive to the point where he declared himself unwilling to obey his maker.
It is the devil Satan.
Has tan is the Hebrew word ha se tan adversary. Hasetan is one of these low-level heavenly functionaries whose job is to move between heaven and earth and report to god. Satan's steady rise to corruptive power culminated in the creation of the New Testament in which he is portrayed as the ultimate creator of all the planet's tragedies and terrors.
The development of the idea of an evil Satan allowed the Jews to worship a god of pure goodness. Satan is the adversary working against the good who stops the perfect world from accruing, so we had to have a hero.
The sacred text and traditions of Jews, Muslims, and Christians not only refer to the origins of the war between God and Satan, but they also describe one of the most overrated and converted earthly spoils in the city of Jerusalem. There was a whole mythology surrounding Jerusalem that it was the special dwelling place of God.
Therefore, it became the physical symbol of the presence of God.
Earthly Spoils.
Jerusalem.
Jerusalem had been the spiritual homeland of the Jews since the 10th century BC and the site of their holiest temple. For Christians, it was where Jesus was crucified around 34 AD and where he was to reign when he returned to earth. Muslims believe it was from Jerusalem that Mohamed visited heaven, and it is now the site of the Dome of the Rock, the great Al Aksa Mosque. Jerusalem, figures in most of the different seminarians of the Jews, Christians, and Muslims at the end of Day's story, is seen as the center of the universe, the navel of the universe. This is the place where it all began, and this is the place where it’s going to end.
War between God and Satan
The early concept of the war between God and Satan is contained in some of the oldest religious writings thus far discovered the Dead Sea scrolls written between 200 BC and 100 Ad were found in the remote desert caves close to the village of korma near Jericho. They are thought to have been hidden around the time of the fall of Jerusalem around 66 Ad and they codify the beliefs of a mystical sect of devout Jews called the Asseens the asseen are the major apocalyptic group of Jews that emerge out of Jerusalem in the 2 century BC. The assen writings layed out some of the events that they believe would lead to the final contest. They also convey some of the concept underlying the theology of the apocalypse one of the treads that run continuously through these religions is princely this expectation of the day of judgment and each of these three religions in its way has interpreted it and understood it in the same idea were created by men.Let us name them.
