The Chosens & Scapes

God uses his chosen singularity as a role model for his unchosen plurality e.g-:

Lucifer, Jesus Christ, Eden and Israel were previously or are still chosen nouns of God.

Lucifer

Lucifer has different meanings across mythology, religious beliefs, and popular culture, most notably as a classical reference to the morning star and as a name for the Devil. 

In classical mythology:

The name "Lucifer" comes from the Latin for "light-bringer" (lux + ferre). 

• In Roman folklore, Lucifer is the name for the planet Venus when it appears as the morning star, heralding the dawn.

• The Greek equivalent was Phosphoros or Heosphoros.

• Lucifer was often personified in poetry as a male figure carrying a torch and was said to be the son of the dawn goddess, Aurora. 

In Christian theology:

During the early Christian period, the name became associated with Satan after being used in a Latin translation of the Old Testament. 

• A fallen angel: The association comes from the Book of Isaiah, where the prophet condemns the King of Babylon. In Isaiah 14:12, the king is mockingly referred to as "Day Star, son of Dawn" (helel ben shachar in Hebrew). In the Latin Vulgate translation, helel was rendered as Lucifer.

• The Devil: Early Christian writers connected this passage to Satan's fall from heaven, which cemented Lucifer as an early name for the Devil. The story goes that Lucifer, the brightest and most beautiful of all angels, became prideful and rebelled against God, leading to his banishment to hell. 

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is the central figure of Christianity, revered by most Christians as the Son of God and the Messiah. Historically, Jesus was a Jewish preacher and teacher who lived in the first century CE. His life, teachings, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension form the foundation of the Christian faith. 

Christian beliefs about Jesus:

• Divinity: Most Christians believe Jesus is the incarnation of God—fully divine and fully human. He is the second person of the Holy Trinity, along with God the Father and the Holy Spirit.

• Messiah: The title "Christ" comes from the Greek Christos, meaning "anointed one." This translates the Hebrew term messiah and signifies that Christians believe Jesus is the anointed savior promised in Jewish scripture.

• Resurrection: According to the New Testament, after being crucified by the Roman authorities, Jesus rose from the dead on the third day. The resurrection is considered the most important event in Christian theology, demonstrating Jesus' power over sin and death and offering believers the hope of eternal life.

• Salvation: Christians believe Jesus's death on the cross was a sacrificial atonement for the sins of humanity. By his sacrifice, he reconciled humanity with God, offering salvation and redemption to those who believe in him.

• Second Coming: Many Christians believe Jesus will return to Earth at the end of time. His Second Coming is expected to include the resurrection of the dead, the Last Judgment, and the establishment of God's eternal kingdom. 

Teachings of Jesus:

The teachings of Jesus, primarily recorded in the four canonical Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), emphasize love, forgiveness, and righteousness. 

• Love: Jesus taught the "Golden Rule"—to treat others as you would want to be treated—and extended the concept of love even to one's enemies.

• Forgiveness: He stressed the importance of repentance and forgiveness, famously illustrated in parables such as the Prodigal Son.

• The Kingdom of God: A central theme of his message was the arrival and nature of the Kingdom of God. Jesus taught that faith and obedience to God's will were the path to entering this spiritual reality.

• Moral life: Beyond just ritual, Jesus emphasized the importance of a moral and compassionate life, demonstrated through his healing miracles and radical challenges to social conventions. 

Jesus in other religions:

While central to Christianity, Jesus is a revered figure in other world religions, which hold different perspectives on his role. 

• Islam: Muslims revere Jesus (Isa) as a prophet and the Messiah, born of the Virgin Mary. However, Islam does not consider him to be the Son of God, nor was he crucified. Instead, Muslims believe he was raised bodily into Heaven by God.

• Judaism: As Jesus was a Jew, his teachings emerged from the Jewish tradition. However, mainstream Judaism does not accept him as the awaited Messiah, arguing that he did not fulfill messianic prophecies.

• Baháʼí Faith: This faith regards Jesus as a "Manifestation of God"—a prophet who revealed God's will, similar to Abraham, Moses, Muhammad, and others. 

Eden

The term Eden most commonly refers to the biblical 

Garden of Eden, a paradise where Adam and Eve first lived. However, it can also refer to people, places, and works of media. 

In religion and literature:

• The Garden of Eden: In Abrahamic religions, this is the primordial paradise described in the Book of Genesis. It is often described as a place of pristine natural beauty and perfect happiness. The story recounts how the first humans, Adam and Eve, lived there peacefully until they were expelled for disobeying God.

• A paradise or blissful state: Figuratively, "an Eden" can refer to any delightful or blissful place or state of being. The name itself is derived from the Hebrew word for "delight" or "pleasure".

• Biblical references: The name "Eden" has roots in Sumerian and Akkadian, and is also mentioned in other books of the Bible, such as Ezekiel and Isaiah. 

Israel

, in the Hebrew Bible, Israel is described as God's chosen people, a belief based on covenants with Abraham and the patriarchs. This concept has various interpretations within different faiths and traditions. For instance, some Christian perspectives argue that while the original covenant with Israel was unique, the new covenant through Jesus Christ extends God's plan to all who believe, a view sometimes called replacement theology. Other Christian viewpoints, such as Christian Zionism, maintain that Israel's status as a chosen nation remains, citing biblical passages like Romans 11 and prophecies about a future restoration. 

Traditional and religious views:

• Judaism: 

The concept of a "chosen people" is a central tenet in Judaism, based on God's covenant with the patriarchs. 

• Christianity:

• Replacement Theology: This view holds that the Christian church has "replaced" Israel as God's chosen people. 

• Christian Zionism: This perspective asserts that Israel's unique status continues, often citing biblical passages that describe God's irrevocable promises to Israel. 

• Both are valid?: In a discussion on Christianity Stack Exchange, one user asks if Israel is "grandfathered in" because of their prior status, which is a question debated among various Christian denominations. 

Interpretations and theological discussions

• Obligation: 

The concept of being chosen is often linked to a greater responsibility. The prophet Amos stated, "You only have I singled out of all the families of the earth: therefore will I visit upon you all your iniquities". 

• Purpose: 

God's choice of Israel was intended to be a means of teaching monotheism, combatting idolatry, and ushering in a new society. 

• Individual vs. national election: 

One interpretation distinguishes between national election (God's choice of a nation) and individual salvation. 

• The role of Jesus: 

Jesus was Jewish and a descendant of Abraham, and through his death and resurrection, the "blessing" to all families of the earth was extended. 

• Other viewpoints: 

Some argue that modern-day Israel's actions are not in line with God's will, while others suggest that the historical record shows God's plan holds true regardless of the behavior of individual Israelites or the actions of the state of Israel. 

Broader context:

• Antisemitism: 

Some sources contend that a failure to understand Israel's unique status has historically contributed to antisemitism. 

• Political implications: 

The concept of Israel as a chosen nation with a divine right to the land is often invoked in modern political debates, especially regarding the status of the West Bank.
