Exodus 34:13 - Why is God jealous?

Exodus 34:13
Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles.



14 Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.



15 "Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land; for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices.



16 And when you choose some of their daughters as wives for your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods, they will lead your sons to do the same.



Notes: When we look at this passage, we have to ask what it means when it says that God is jealous. Why would such a perfect god humanize itself in our eyes?



When I or anyone I know think about the almighty God that say a Christian or other such sectarian would profess, we don't get the idea that most of these "believers" see God as being a human in anyway.



Instead, we would think of God as a perfect, omnipresent "entity" that is male in it's projection. But does it make any sense whatsover for that entity to proclaim jealousy?



Is it perhaps because these beings....these gods...were less than perfect. Although this God that we all know as our creators is simply an advanced being from an advanced civilization from perhaps elsewhere in the universe...essentially, some kind of E.T.



That doesn't mean it's just an alien. There are many possibilities that would be a miss if we didn't take them into account. Perhaps God is omnipresent and perfect and chooses to manifest itself as say an "alien", which is of course E.T.



The thing though, is that E.T. doesn't have to mean just a physical being.



I mean if you do in fact believe in a Christian god or any other such god, do you believe that god is of the earth only? Or do you think of that god as of the universe or even outside of that?



So in that sense, god is E.T. no matter what. The question is in which ways god chooses to manifest itself.

Jealous God - What the book of Exodus tells us about the God of the Bible - What it means when God says he's jealous.

The jealous words of God.

What did God say? What does God think about "Himself"?

This has always been an interesting passage made for controversy as well.

Exodus 20

1And God spake all these words, saying,

2I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

6And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

7Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.


So we see that God was indeed "jealous" of other gods. What reason would God have for being jealous of what many a Christian would say were false gods. In what way were they false?

In what ways is our Christian God NOT false?

Is it perhaps true that there would have possibly been feuds and even wars amongst the "gods"?

Were gods maybe some actual physical beings that humans interacted with?

Num 13:33|And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

Deut 2:11|Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.

Deut 2:20|(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;

Deut 3:11|For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man

Deut 3:13|And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.

Bible references to the descendents of Anak - Who are the Anakim

Who were the Anakim?

According to the scripture, the Anakim were a race of giants that was produced by the character, Anak. This race of giants would go on to include Goliath, one of the noted challenges of the young King David.

Are the Anakim related to the Annunaki of Sumerian archaeology?

Here we look closely at the biblical passages pertaining to Anak and the Anakim.

'Josh 11:16–23|16 So Joshua took this entire land: the hill country, all the Negev, the whole region of Goshen, the western foothills, the Arabah and the mountains of Israel with their foothills,'

'Num 13:22|They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, lived. (Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)'

'Num 13:28|But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there.'

'Num 13:33|We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”'

'Josh 15:13|In accordance with the Lord’s command to him, Joshua gave to Caleb son of Jephunneh a portion in Judah—Kiriath Arba, that is, Hebron. (Arba was the forefather of Anak.)'

'Josh 15:14|From Hebron Caleb drove out the three Anakites—Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai—descendants of Anak.'

'Josh 21:11|They gave them Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron), with its surrounding pastureland, in the hill country of Judah. (Arba was the forefather of Anak.)'

'Judg 1:20|As Moses had promised, Hebron was given to Caleb, who drove from it the three sons of Anak.'

It is up to you whether to believe this or not, however it is consistnent with the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt and Mesopatamia that show giant figures and beings that were giant and considered to be gods.

Giants and the Trible of Gad - The Annunaki vs Anak?

It's easy to see why there are so many sceptics of the Christian faith when you look at Bible passages about giants....but...what if it did have at least some truth to it...?

15 from the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Maki.

16 These are the names of the men Moses sent to explore the land. (Moses gave Hoshea son of Nun the name Joshua.)

17 When Moses sent them to explore Canaan, he said, "Go up through the Negev and on into the hill country.

18 See what the land is like and whether the people who live there are strong or weak, few or many.

19 What kind of land do they live in? Is it good or bad? What kind of towns do they live in? Are they unwalled or fortified?

20 How is the soil? Is it fertile or poor? Are there trees on it or not? Do your best to bring back some of the fruit of the land." (It was the season for the first ripe grapes.)

21 So they went up and explored the land from the Desert of Zin as far as Rehob, toward Lebo Hamath.

22 They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, lived. (Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

It is interesting that in the Bible it refers to these giants as the descendants of Anak.... it sounds alot like Annunaki. In other passages it refers to the race of giants in general as Anekim or Anakim....

28 But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there.

Go on further

31 But the men who had gone up with him said, "We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are."

32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, "The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size.

33 We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them."

It seems as though there could very well have been other races of human like giants, but what happened? Where'd they go?

One theory is that the Annunaki, coming from the 10th planet of Niburu, would have been significantly fewer in number than say humans and so the likelihood of finding one would be far lower and therefore the stuff of lore. The giants that came before us...is it possible that they are coming back? Did they move some of largest stones in the world? Did they have techonologies like the ancient light bulb....long before Thomas Edison?

The sacrifices of Leviticus - The definition of a burnt offering

You got to wonder what kind of diet God is on!!

Leviticus 1

1 The LORD called to Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting. He said,

2 "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'When any of you brings an offering to the LORD, bring as your offering an animal from either the herd or the flock.

(Why does God require so much sacrifice in the form of burnt offerings.... I mean, does God eat? Is God a physical being? When we look at other passages of the Bible it seems to suggest that God was physical. In the early parts of the Bible, we hear of footprints of the lord and the finger of God...as well as other passages)

3 " 'If the offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to offer a male without defect. He must present it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting so that it will be acceptable to the LORD.

(It's interesting to see the level of detail God goes into on these sacrificial demands)

4 He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.

5 He is to slaughter the young bull before the LORD, and then Aaron's sons the priests shall bring the blood and sprinkle it against the altar on all sides at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

(Uh...what??)

6 He is to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.

7 The sons of Aaron the priest are to put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.

8 Then Aaron's sons the priests shall arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood that is on the altar.

9 He is to wash the inner parts and the legs with water, and the priest is to burn all of it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.

(If this ain't enough to make you wonder I don't know what is)

10 " 'If the offering is a burnt offering from the flock, from either the sheep or the goats, he is to offer a male without defect.

11 He is to slaughter it at the north side of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle its blood against the altar on all sides.

12 He is to cut it into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood that is on the altar.

13 He is to wash the inner parts and the legs with water, and the priest is to bring all of it and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.

14 " 'If the offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, he is to offer a dove or a young pigeon.

1516 He is to remove the crop with its contents and throw it to the east side of the altar, where the ashes are.

17 He shall tear it open by the wings, not severing it completely, and then the priest shall burn it on the wood that is on the fire on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD. The priest shall bring it to the altar, wring off the head and burn it on the altar; its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar.
