A pile of defecation.
>God said let US make man in OUR image. This denotes that God didnt make man and woman by itself alone.
God the Father by His Spirit created all thing by speaking them forth.
That Word He spoke is God the Word.
This shows the Father,
the Spirit,
and the Word all present at creation.
They are not three beings,
but three persons in one being.
>When in the next few verses God said that I alone made man and woman. While saying this, God said I am a jealous God and nothing is before me. This also denotes that Something is before God. For if nothing were before God, there would be no reason to be Jealous.
The term "before me" is not speaking of a point in time.
It is referring to placement and idolatry,
meaning to have no other gods in His face,
before Him.
Since man creates false gods after his own image,
there is every reason to be jealous,
for in doing so,
man is leading souls astray,
among whom are God's children (He is their Father) He calls by His Spirit (God the Spirit speaking to their inward man) and His Word (God the Word).
The Jewish myths were referring to their oral traditions.
Christ came to fulfill the whole Law written by Moses as the command of God's own mouth speaking His Word.
And Christ is God the Word.
The triune God existed before all things,
including before the Babylonians existed.
It was only later that God told Moses to write about His creation,
which before that time,
was spoken by some men orally.
With Moses,
God spoke it Himself.
The Babylonians had adopted their own perverted version of creation and of what they believed were their gods.
They were polytheistic.
No problem.
Not everyone will believe in this plane of existence.
However,
everyone will believe when all are before the Judgment Seat.
The Phoenicians liked their Dagon and their Lady Dagon.
They now know they were wrong,
also awaiting Judgment Day as they thirst in Hell.
Yes,
Moses already had the book of Job as it was written during the time of Joseph.
Job had been the prince among his people,
and during the time of famine,
all had gone to Egypt for grain.
Among those people would have been ambassadors sent by Job.
Job would have likely been in correspondence with Joseph,
and would have sent that very book to him.
The Jews kept it,
and it went with them back to Israel.
