>>> Jacob stealing his birthright <<< is one of the most interesting prophecies. Read the second blessing. And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept. 27:39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; 27:40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck. 27:41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob. My approach to the bible is one of description of human nature with some philosophic evaluation of human nature. The other books like the Mishna and Talmud are even more fascinating IMHO. Wish to have the time and will to read them The "Lot" story is an interesting approach to the survival desire of humans. If I recollect correctly the survivors of an airbrush in Peru (I think) started to eat frozen human flesh to survive until they were rescued. Drive for survival takes many twists and violates many taboo's The main weakness of Islam is that any cleric can interpret it as he wishes and issue a order for Jihad. Further only the Quaran/Hadit are so hostile toward others ... e.g. authorizes and encourages enslaving and the killing of nonbelievers and more so of Jews and Christians. ...... and disregard of ones life if it serves the wishes of "Allah" ...... or in other words those of the present ruler or Islamic cleric who send scores of brainwashed people to death even today and joyous killing of innocents The lack of enthusiasm by one of the Jewish tribes caused them to be expelled by the victorious Muslim army. Exactly one year latter Mecca amassed 3000 solders at the battle of Uhud and the Muslims fielded 1000 solders. The battle did not go as planned. The Muslims were defeated by Mecca and retreated to fortress of Medina. Disheartend, Muslims blamed the second Jewish tribe as conspirators against their cause. Their homes and possessions are confiscated and they are expelled from the city in 626 AD. The Meccans in the hope of ending the caravan raids by the Muslims assembled 10,000 solders to attack the city of Medina in the year 627. After a two week siege in the hot sun they are unable to penetrate the fortress like city. And they return to Mecca. After this unsuccessful attack by Mecca, Mohammed and the Muslims attacked the last remaining Jewish tribe. The tribe surrenderd to the mercy of Mohammed. The men were killed and the women and children were sold into slavery.
