Yahweh is NOT Who We Think He Is...[Prepare To Be Surprised]
Among the vast pantheon of gods and mystical beings in human cultures, Yahweh, the biblical deity, emerges as a figure of particular prominence. His name has echoed across the ages, creating a lasting legacy. Yet, the question arises: what elevates Yahweh to such a significant status, and is it possible that there are concealed links to the Anunnaki, unknown to contemporary understanding? Who exactly is Yahweh? Is he the all-powerful deity worshipped in the Abrahamic faiths? If not, then what or who could Yahweh represent?
THE 'OFFICIAL' STORY
Yahweh, an ancient Levantine deity, holds significant prominence in the Old Testament. His name appears more than 6,800 times, signifying a central role in the religious narratives of the Israelite kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Let's delve into the multifaceted aspects of Yahweh:
1. Origins and Attributes:
- The exact origins of Yahweh remain debated, but scholars generally associate him with regions such as Seir, Edom, Paran, and Teman, followed by a later connection to Canaan.
- In the oldest biblical texts, Yahweh is depicted as a divine warrior, possessing attributes typically associated with weather and war deities. He both **fructifies the land** and leads the heavenly army against Israel's enemies.
2. Polytheistic Context:
- During the early Israelite period, the people were polytheistic, worshipping Yahweh alongside various Canaanite gods and goddesses like El, Asherah, and Baal.
- Over time, Yahweh and El became intertwined, leading to the application of El-linked epithets (such as El Shaddai) to Yahweh alone. Other gods and goddesses were absorbed into the Yahwist religion.
3. Evolution and Proclamation:
- As the Babylonian captivity neared its end, the existence of other gods was denied, and Yahweh was proclaimed the sole divinity to be worshipped.
- During the Second Temple period, speaking Yahweh's name in public became taboo, and Jews substituted it with words like adonai (אֲדֹנָי, "my Lords").
- After the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE, the original pronunciation of Yahweh's name was forgotten entirely.
4. The Name:
- The name of God was written in paleo-Hebrew as YHWH, often referred to as the tetragrammaton.
- Modern scholarship transcribes this as "Yahweh".
- Rabbinic sources suggest that during the Second Temple period, the name of God was pronounced only once a year by the high priest on the Day of Atonement.
