Speaking of world religions, Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism. Of these, Judaism created Christianity and Islam. It is related to the current situation in the Middle East, so I want to keep it firmly in check.
This time, I will summarize such Judaism.
What is the teaching of Judaism?
While many religions born in Egypt and Mesopotamia were polytheistic, Judaism is the only religion that firmly adheres to the belief in the god Yahweh.
Its beginnings date back to Exodus in the 13th century BC. The prophet Moses signed a covenant on Mount Sinai, leading the Hebrews who were enslaved to the New Kingdom of Egypt.
The teachings conveyed by Moses at this time are called the Ten Commandments.
- There must be no god other than me
- Don't sing the name of the Lord unnecessarily
- Make the Lord's Day holy
- Be honest with your parents
- Don't kill
- Don't commit adultery
- Don't be dull
- Don't perjury your neighbors
- Don't leave your neighbor's wife alone
- Don't leave your neighbor's property alone
The above teachings have been brought about.
The only god is the creator god of the whole world, and soon the omnipotent god gave birth to the idea that the Jews (Hebrews) were receiving special benefits, and the belief that the Messiah was waiting for the emergence. rice field.
The Jewish scriptures are called the "Old Testament" to distinguish them from the scriptures later compiled by Christians, and the origins of the Hebrew (Jewish) ideological activities are diverse.
Background of the birth of Judaism and the reason why it permeated
As I wrote in the Hebrew achievements of the "Achievements of the Three Semitic Peoples", Pharaoh's oppression in the New Kingdom of Egypt, escape from the desert, and the Hebrew kingdom being built but split and destroyed. After all, he was forced to move to New Babylonia.
In the wake of a series of hardships and loss of settlement, strengthening cohesion in search of ethnic identity led to the establishment of Judaism.
The establishment of Judaism and two world religions
| age | Events |
|---|---|
| 13th century BC | [Exodus] Moses returns from the New Kingdom with the Hebrews |
| End of 11th century BC | [Hebrew Kingdom] The era of King David and King Solomon was at its peak |
| Around the 10th century BC | [Hebrew Kingdom splits] Divided into the Kingdom of Judah and the Kingdom of Israel |
| Around 586 ~ 583 BC | [Babylonian captivity] Neo-Babylonians who destroyed the Kingdom of Judah displaced Hebrews |
| Around the 6th century BC | Establishment of Judaism |
| Around 30 years | [Christianity] is born from Judaism |
| Around 610 | [Islam] is born from Judaism |
Both Christianity and Islam are religions originally born from the monotheistic world of Judaism. In Christianity, the messiah long-awaited in the "Old Testament" is Jesus and the Son of God because of the belief that Jesus, who was sentenced to the crucifixion around AC.30, was resurrected.
Born in the 7th century, Islam is the only Arabic word for Allah, developed by the final and greatest prophet Muhammad.
What are the problems created by believing in the same religion? ??
All religions were born from the same religion ... Jerusalem, which prospered as the capital of the Hebrew kingdom, is also a sanctuary of three religions.
Around 135, the Jews were scattered and scattered due to the war. Jews leave Jerusalem. It was placed under Islamic rule in 638, and remained under Islamic rule for a while, but around the 11th century, Christians were dispatched many times from Europe to recapture the sanctuary, and a big clash occurred.
The rule changed between Christians and Islam several times, and in 1187, the religions became coexistent under the rule of the Ottoman Empire.
In modern times, the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine divided the Arab and Jewish districts in 1947, and the following year the Jewish Israel was founded.
Of course, Arabs cannot be accepted, and a war will occur. This is the First Middle East War.
The capital of Israel was Jerusalem, but the United Nations does not recognize this. After the conflict, Israel robbed East Jerusalem and is still in effective control.
In the midst of such Izakoza, it is confusing in 2017 when US President Trump announced that he would consider establishing an embassy in Jerusalem.
As mentioned above, Judaism continues to have the influence that appears in the news. Not only religion but also oil rights are involved, and the situation is very complicated.
