MOSES FINDS GOD

It becomes clear in this film where the Judeo-Christian God comes from. Moses marries the daughter of Jethro, the Midianite priest who worships a volcano. In the film it becomes clear Moses is converted to this God. When he pops up to visit God as a burning bush - God, after telling Moses to remove his shoes, suggests he is the God of his ancestors. Which is untrue as he is just the Volcanic God of the Midianites, the God of Abraham was the Mesopotanian God, 'El' as in IsraEL, MichaEL, EmmanuEL. When Moses brings out the Israelites from Egypt he takes them to the Midianite Volcano (Exodus 18). There the Israelites are visited by the priest Jethro who says " Now you know that the Lord is greater than all other gods, for he saved you." Obviously believing like Moses in the existence of many Gods. He then tells Moses how to manage the Israelites: - "Moses' father-in-law replied, (Exodus 18:17 "What you are doing is not good. Listen now to me and I will give you some advice. You must be the people's representative before God. Teach them his decrees and instructions, and show them the way they are to live and how they are to behave. Moses listened to his father-in-law and did everything he said." So the Israelites now follow the Midianite Volcanic God and follow the laws (Deuteronomy) that they received from the Midianite Priest.
