What Reason Are Canaanites Removed From the Land?

[shunyadragon]

There was a mingling of Yahweh with Kronos because of the jealousy factor. I am not certain that equates to Yahweh being Kronos, however. Are you suggesting something like Yahweh got transported to Greece and became Kronos?

Yahweh cannot be Zeus and Poseidon, not only because of widely different personalities, but because we know the origins of their worship as concerns Greece. Zeus and Poseidon are also connected with Indra and Varuna, who are likely older than their Greek associations.

I view it is a competition Gods between tribes and cultures for the supreme God(s) on the block. Sort of like the rivalry of team mascots in football. There is a relationship between the the concept of God(s) between cultures, but I consider it a stretch to show any direct relationship between the Gods of Greece and the tribes of Palestine. There is a closer relationship between the Gods of Greece and Rome.

The relationship between the Gods of the Canaanites, Ugarits, and early Hebrews is better documented. The Hebrew tribes were Canaanite, but somewhat genetically isolated as a pastoral tribe in the Judaean Hills, but culturally related for a long period of time. The Lebanese are more directly genetic Semitic descendants of the Northern Canaanites. The Hebrews represent the Southern Canaanite Semites.

In Zechariah 14:21 the Canaanites shall be removed from the land at Judgement day...

Based on history, Biblical text, and everything we know, give your best reasons for why a Canaanite theologically is different to those that remain after?

In my opinion.

The Canaanites tended to follow a fertility religious and their comfort their children's lives and might sacrifice children for prosperity. How different that is from today or those who followed remains a thought question. People are people.
