I am the center of Creation. That's who G-d is. We live in the Age of Man. The age in which Man sees himself as the center of the universe. Man is the idol-worship of the age.
Man is the center of all.
The Jewish People in Egypt were steeped in idol worship. The ultimate idol is man himself. Pharaoh declared himself a god. Hard work can bring a person to appreciation of G-d's beneficence. I did all this.
