Is Jehovah really Typhon?

Question

Typhon was a great beast which rebelled against Zeus in the Tiatanomachy. He was equated with the God of the Hebrews by the Egyptians & Greeks.

Is Jehovah really a malevolent daemon bent on decieving people from the truth and deceiving them so that they end up in Tartarus?

Answer 1

Well, I'll grant that we can't actually prove he's not (and theories like this are the basis of many Gnostic systems), but to believe this literally strikes me as bringing the unneccesary baggage of conspiracy theory into the realm of the divine. More likely, Typhon became equated with Jehovah as a way of "explaining" the Hebrew religion within the context of Greek and Egyptian belief. But in the end, they are all just seperate belief systems with no real need to correspond to or explain each other.

Answer 2

No.

Jehovah is the Almighty God of Judaism and Christianity (the name is an English translation of the Tetragrammaton). "The Tetragrammaton" is the term used to describe the four Hebrew characters (" הוהי ") of the Divine Name. The four characters are generally transliterated (that is, a Roman character familiar to readers of English is shown for the sound of each Hebrew character) as "YHWH" and pronounced something similar to "Yahweh" or "Yehowah". It is relatively straightforward to guess how the Hebrew pronunciation "Yehowah" became translated into the English pronunciation "Jehovah" more than 400 years ago.


The King James Version uses the name "Jehovah" four times (Exodus 6:3; Psalm 83:18; Isaiah 12:2; 26:4). A few place-names which include "Jehovah" are also left intact (see Genesis 22:14; Exodus 17:15; Judges 6:24).

The shortened form of "Jehovah" is "Jah". KJV uses "Jah" at Psalm 68:4, and within the exclamation "Hallelu-jah" (or "Alleluia"), which literally means "praise Jah" (see Revelation 19:1-6).

Answer 3

Jehovah is the Almighty God's personal name from the Tetragrammaton YHWH (Yahweh) in hebrew. That people may know that you whose name is Jehovah,You alone are the most high over all the earth. Psalm 83:18

Answer 4

Remember, these are all just fairy tales used to keep scared little children amused, in line and obeying commands. "God" is nothing more than a nonsense word made up by man to explain away the things we can't yet understand.

Answer 5

This is a classic example of religions and oppinions being merged into one universal mush or speculative rubbish.

You cannot possibly merge religions and myths of diffrent races into a chronological list of events

Answer 6

Nah.
Jehovah is Loki.
And his best trick was convincing people he loved them and giving them contradicting rules for life... all of which they're supposed to follow.

Answer 7

Actually I've always thought he was really Marduk.

Answer 8

You'll find that many, many characters from different religions are interchangable. I wonder why...

Answer 9

No, he's a used car salesman.

Answer 10

Well, if he was, we wouldn't know about it until it was too late, I suppose.
