Above: Abraham and 6 elohim
Gen 22:1 And it came to pass after these things, that the gods ( וְהָ֣אֱלֹהִ֔ים the elohim) Abraham, and said, “Abraham,” and he said, “I am.” 2 And said, “Take please your son, your only one, whom you love, yea, Isaac, and go away to the land of Moriah and bring him up there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains, of which I will tell you.”
Genesis 22:11 And an angel of God called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”
וַיִּקְרָ֨א אֵלָ֜יו מַלְאַ֤ךְ יְהֹוָה֙ מִן־הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וַיֹּ֖אמֶר אַבְרָהָ֣ם | אַבְרָהָ֑ם וַיֹּ֖אמֶר הִנֵּֽנִי
Literally; and he called to him, an angel of Yhwh of the heavens and said “Abraham” and Abraham said “I am”
An angel of the Yhwh of the heavens stayed Abraham’s hand
Genesis 22:12 And he said, “Do not stretch forth your hand to the lad, nor do the slightest thing to him, for now I know that you are a God fearing man, and you did not withhold your son, your only one, from Me.”
וַיֹּ֗אמֶר אַל־תִּשְׁלַ֤ח יָֽדְךָ֙ אֶל־הַנַּ֔עַר וְאַל־תַּ֥עַשׂ ל֖וֹ מְא֑וּמָה כִּ֣י | עַתָּ֣ה יָדַ֗עְתִּי כִּֽי־יְרֵ֤א אֱלֹהִים֙ אַ֔תָּה וְלֹ֥א חָשַׂ֛כְתָּ אֶת־בִּנְךָ֥ אֶת־יְחִֽידְךָ֖ מִמֶּֽנִּי
and said to send your hand to boy don’t do slightest thing because now I know because in awe of the gods you not darkness your son, your only son from me.
Genesis 22:16 And he said, “By Myself have I sworn, says Yhwh, that because you have done this thing and you did not withhold your son, your only one 17 That I will surely bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand that is on the seashore, and your descendants will inherit the cities of their enemies
This is Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana (21 Feb8uary 1794 – 21 June 1876), 8th President of Mexico. Santa Ana was overly flexible in his politics. This allowed him to rise to power. He opposed the Revolution against Spain, then fought in support of it. He supported the Monarchy of Mexico, then fought against it. He touted himself as a great general but lost most of the wars he engaged in; notably the Texas Revolt and the Mexican American War. Despite this he became a military dictator in 1853 and was ousted in 1855. In 1861, 6 years later, the Second French Intervention began that installed Maximilian I until 1867. Hmmm. Santa Ana died in exile in 1876.
This is Paul Reynaud (15 October 1878 – 21 September 1966). Reynaud was the Prime Minister of France during the onset of hostilities in World War II. Reynaud opposed the Munich agreement allowing Germany part of Czechoslovakia. 5 days after the Germans invaded France, Reynaud contacted Churchill and famously remarked, “We have been defeated… we are beaten; we have lost the battle…. The front is broken near Sedan.” Churchill, realizing his forces were chained to a corpse, began preparation for the Evacuation at Dunkirk. His surrender was quite handy for the Nazis, that’s why they put him there.
