96:0.1 In conceiving of [[Deity]], man first includes all gods, then subordinates all foreign gods to his [[tribal]] [[deity]], and finally excludes all but the one God of final and [[supreme]] [[value]]. The [[Jews]] synthesized all gods into their more [[sublime]] [[concept]] of the Lord God of [[Israel]]. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism Hindus] likewise combined their multifarious deities into the "one [[spirituality]] of the gods" portrayed in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rig_Veda Rig-Veda], while the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamians] reduced their gods to the more centralized [[concept]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marduk Bel-Marduk]. These [[ideas]] of [[monotheism]] [[matured]] all over the world not long after the [[appearance]] of [[Machiventa]] [[Melchizedek]] at [[Salem]] in [[Palestine]]. But the [[Melchizedek]] [[concept]] of [[Deity]] was unlike that of the [[evolutionary]] [[philosophy]] of inclusion, subordination, and exclusion; it was based exclusively on [[creative]] [[power]] and very soon [[influenced]] the highest [[deity]] [[concepts]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_India India], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egypt Egypt].

96:0.2 The [[Salem]] [[religion]] was [[revered]] as a [[tradition]] by the [[Kenites]] and several other [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canaanites Canaanite] [[tribes]]. And this was one of the [[purposes]] of [[Melchizedek]]'s [[incarnation]]: That a [[religion]] of one God should be so fostered as to [[prepare]] the way for the [[earth]] [[bestowal]] of a Son of that one God. [[Michael]] could hardly come to [[Urantia]] until there existed a people believing in the [[Universal Father]] among whom he could appear.

96:0.3 The [[Salem]] [[religion]] [[persisted]] among the [[Kenites]] in [[Palestine]] as their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creed creed], and this [[religion]] as it was later [[adopted]] by the [[Hebrews]] was [[influenced]], first, by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_egyptian_religion Egyptian moral teachings]; later, by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assyro-Babylonian_religion Babylonian theologic thought]; and lastly, by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoroastrianism Iranian] conceptions of [[good]] and [[evil]]. Factually the [[Hebrew]] [[religion]] is predicated upon the [[covenant]] between [[Abraham]] and [[Machiventa]] [[Melchizedek]], evolutionally it is the outgrowth of many [[unique]] situational circumstances, but [[culturally]] it has borrowed freely from the [[religion]], [[morality]], and [[philosophy]] of the entire [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levant Levant].
