Unveiling the Cosmic Conflict: Yahweh vs. the Moon-God and the Battle for Abraham's Legacy
All of this would be nothing more than an exercise in history if God hadn’t taken a personal interest in the moon-god and his worshipers—namely, the Amorites. Remember, God called them out specifically when He made his covenant with Abraham.
The moon-god, under various names, was of supreme importance to Amorites in general, and especially to those of Babylon and Canaan.
It shouldn’t be a surprise that the Amorites and their gods tried to interfere with God’s plan for His people right from the Book of Genesis. After God divided the nations at Babel “according to the number of the sons of God,”1 He chose Abraham to establish a new people as “His allotted heritage.”2
So, the principalities and powers, who were no doubt watching Yahweh’s every move, took note when He directed Abraham to Canaan and miraculously intervened on behalf of his nephew, Lot—especially after Abraham and his 318 retainers successfully raided the army of the kings of the east who’d just defeated the Rephaim tribes living in the Transjordan.
