Way, theophany and covenant
The historical narrative, the one made by official historiography, narrates journalistic facts as they happen, sees the path only as a theory and method, the divine manifestation as a historical evolution, and the alliance with God as a religious illusion.
The evolution and fall of civilization prior to Semitic, the fact is that after the son of Noah (?) Without a civilization, it emerged and evolved in the ancient Mesopotamia of the Chaldeans, from there Abram left until he arrived and had the son Isaac promised by God Isaac and with him he made an alliance, and changed his name to Abraham, because he would have as many children as the stars in the sky (Genesis 17,1-4) and in fact three major religions invoke him as “father of faith”.
In history they will be close to the great Egyptian civilization, and they will leave there at the beginning of its decadence.
Thus, this cycle will be repeated with Moses, due to famine the Hebrews migrate to Egypt in the time of the 12 tribes of Israel (Jacob, son of Isaac, who took the place of Esau, had the fight with the angel), Joseph goes to Egypt and then the Hebrews begin to live in slavery, there Moses receives a new mission to leave for Canaan, and there will also be the divine manifestation on Sinai and the new covenant (Exodus 19:11): “and to be ready for the third day , for on that day the Lord will come down before all the people on Mount Sinai.”
Thus, a new Theophany and a new alliance take place with Moses receiving the tablets of the Law, almost arriving in Canaan and seeing it from afar, Moses dies and Joshua receives the mission to lead the people to the promised land, in the ark of the alliance (illustrative photo, the ark was lost) will be placed a vessel with manna mysterious food that the people ate in the desert, Aaron’s staff and the tablet of the 10 commandments).
From that moment until the birth of Jesus, the law and the prophets are valid, for Christians the new covenant is made with the proclamation of the Gospel (the good news) and the new covenant is God in the midst of his people and his own guide.
So today the ark is no longer needed, there was already a manifestation of the prophet Jeremiah (Jeremiah 3:16) even before the birth of the Messiah.
