Judaism, at 4000 years old it is one of the oldest monotheistic religions and the granddaddy of Christianity and Islam. But even though its teachings helped create the world’s two most popular religions many people don’t know what the Jews actually believe.

Judaism developed in the eastern Mediterranean over the last 4000ish years. Today there are about 15 million Jews making it the world’s tenth-largest religion.

What is the Torah? What’s a Covenant? And why does no one worship mermen in the Middle-East anymore? Well Let’s Find out.

  2. Hi, I wanted to say about 2 stuff that I believe are inaccurate:
    1. I believe Dagon wasn't the god of merman on the bible. In the bible itself he is not described as merman, but on later Jewish translations, as probably a part of an error, mixing Dagon with the word Dag(fish) instead of Dagan, meaning crop, as he was the god of crop. the former is a medieval interpretation and not consistent with the Jewish scriptures at the time of the bible.
    2. Afterlife is for my best knowledge not written anywhere in the old testament. the scripture you said, that talk about gathering back to their ancestors, really isn't about this, and rather talk about burying rituals in ancient Israel – the people used to bury their death, wait a year, and then dig out the bones and put them all together in family graves. such the case for the cave of the patriarchs when Abraham buys the cave for that reason. Afterlife is believed in Judaism globally and by all, it is just important to note that this isn't mentioned explicitly in the old testament itself

  3. Luke 21 20But whenever you will see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, know then that its destruction has come near to it. 21And let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and those who are within it escape, and those in the villages, let them not enter into it. 22These are the days of vengeance, to fulfill everything whatsoever that has been written. 23But woe to those who are pregnant and those who nurse in those days, for there shall be great suffering in the land and wrath upon this people. 24And they shall fall by the mouth of the sword and they shall be led captive to every region, and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles until the time of the Gentiles will be finished.

  4. So Judaism is basically the story of a people. The laws of a people. The guidance of God to the Jewish people. Their history, their struggles and their aspirations.
