Why Abrahm from Ur? Why not Imotep from Egypt or Hwai Do from China?

[QUOTE="Pavel Mosko, post: 76863960, member: 391518"] I maybe disagree. 1) I believe the believe the Bible sends powerful typological messages. In the way the way things were established by the testimony of "Two Witnesses", Christ sent out the apostles in pairs etc. I believe their is a powerful Two witness typology when we consider both Egypt and Mesopotamia together as archetypes of "the Kingdom of the World", antichrist etc. Both places are prototypical empires that have a lot in common but also differences. Like Egypt is more an established stable power etc. while Assyria/ Babylon etc. being on the plain is a kingdom where power can rise suddenly, where Blitzkeig chariot warfare can happen, and the place is more unstable being more exposed to invasion etc. (Egypt had chariots etc. but the Desert and Ocean and river barriers gave more stability than just have river barriers). I know there are some unique things to Ur. The fact that fire as a religious icon seems something cool that Yahweh seems to have liked and wanted to be used in his appearances in the OT. There is stuff with the their mythology that seems like it ties in with stuff in Early Genesis like the angels leading men astray, they have a raise of demigods the Children of the God that supposedly started their culture. But I think the two cultures fit together well as a Yin and Yang similarity but also contrast for many in the Bible especially when it comes to forces that resist God. 2) Sometimes you also get into some other kinds of symbolism like east vs. west symbolism. That maybe doesn't always work but I think it also there at times. 3)You also get into various notions of Eden depending on where it might be and maybe typologies with that. [/QUOTE]
