[geeks] christianity and judaism

there are many others that are "reckoning".  (i have never seen that
word in the technical literature.)

enoch
isaiah
elijah
saul and the witch of endor


>> kippur foreshadowed the day of atonement.

>No idea what you're talking about here.  Kapara is atonement.

the hebrew word for kippur means covering.  (brown-driver-briggs,
gesenius [sic])
this is a different word than atonement.  since the yom kippur
foreshadows the day of atonement, the idea of atonement is brought into
the term but never displaces its basic meaning of covering.

isaish quoted god as saying "my house shall be called a house of prayer
for all nations".
that is a pretty clear that the agreement given to abraham and defined
by the law is applicable to goyim also.
but look also at rahab, ruth, naaman, nebuchanezzar (sic), the sailors
in jonah, ninevah: all gentiles.
and look at abram/abraham, issac, jacob/israel: they lived before the
agreement given through moses and cannot be rightly called jews (any
more than david can be called a christian).
and look to zechariah's promise of the goyim joining israel in worship
of good.
and look to the psalms: 67: all the nations will worship god
