Is Yahweh NOTHING More Than A Copy of The God BAAL?

In the Baal Cycle, religious texts from Ugarit, we have a line about Baal and he's called 'the charioteer of the clouds'. Now in Ugaritic material, this was a stock description of Baal. No one in the ancient world would have thought Baal was less than deity, Baal was a deity. Baal worship was ubiquitous in the ancient world. Why is it important? Because the Old Testament writers, on five occasions, will lift this title of Baal and attributed to the God of Israel, to Yahweh. Check it out!

Not sure which of those passages was drawn upon to use in a hymn, but part of one verse goes, "His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form and dark is His path on the wings of a storm."

I thought BAAL meant a title, like saying Lord, given to many gods.

So the 5th reference is from...Daniel 7?
The same lcloud rider” reference that Jesus makes to prove his deity to Caiaphas?

[dannycrinklaw]

Thank you for opening the Word for us. In Exodus Moses asks who shall I say sent me. God said I AM THAT I AM. My question is why would this name cause the Israelites to listen? I don't find that name used before this. I thank you for helping.

Baal, Zeus and Thor seems to be the same god. Or at least originated from the same concept.

[Idiopathogen]

Wow. This really makes me think and enjoy a lot of things! What a vindication of Elijah's ministry for him to be caught up in a chariot after his ministry and persecution by Baal worshipers. Furthermore in Enoch's prophecy described by Jude, when the Lord Jesus appears He comes with 10, 000's of saints and we will be with Him when He returns. His name is vindicated, and we come with Him. Think of the many millions of believers over the Church period that have been and continue to be persecuted.

And none of these "Strong Powers" could stay stand before Leviathan at the deep waters. The Leviathan that Yahweh created to play with (by the way, wonderful creation).

So if Baal is called a cloud rider does that make the Monkey King a Far East version of Baal?
