God (Old Testament)

* YHWH
* Raphael's Interpretation

## Summary

A powerful pre-universal being, YHWH gave powers to those he deemed worthy to guide His chosen people. However, due to the sabotage of one of the other creatures He created, all humans were created inherently flaws, and many would eventually turn away from god or fail Him. This would eventually lead to the renewal of the covenant through the birth and death of YHWH’s human form, Jesus. Until then, He remained content to shift the course of human history through the various armies and factions, such as the Babylonians, Israelites, Judah, Egypt, Aram, and the Philistines.

According to Ezekiel, God looks like a man, with the upper half of his body like flaming metal, and the lower half of his body like fire, all of it surrounded by a rainbow. He has taken many other forms, such as:

* A hand on the wall
* A fire pot with a torch
* A weak old man
* Bush that burns without damaging itself
* A cloud
* A pillar of fire
