The last thing they'd want is open and honest debate as to were we're heading and options available, the MSM used so maintain sham debates but they were so boring and false they barely even bother with those anymore.
Set, also known as Seth and Suetekh, was the Egyptian god of war, chaos and storms, brother of Osiris
there is no happy ending for false Brides particularly when they have lost all allure.
thus it is highly suspect and problematic that an initiative to save Israel became the mission to save the Gentiles, and that the end result was their induction into the tradition of Israel.
As G. Stroumsa has shown, the Sethian account of the persistence of evil people who persecute the pure seed of Seth is further explained by the myth of the intercourse of the sons of God with the daughters of men in Gen 6:1-4. According to 1 Enoch, these sons of God are the “watchers” who sire a race of homicidal giants, and are then sent down to the Abyss. In subsequent Jewish exegesis, these underworld watchers become devils like Azazel or Shemihazah who sexually tempt the pure race of Seth to engage in polluted intercourse with the corrupt offspring of Cain. Other Sethian traditions, however, such as that behind the account in Josephus, Antiquities 1.2.3, allow the opposite kind of identification, namely one between the watchers or sons of God in Gen 6:1-4 and the pure seed of Seth who bore the image of God, and to whom was revealed the (beneficial) knowledge of ultimate cosmic secrets.
>Given the dilemma of Seth’s human progeny, existing since primordial times as a persecuted but pure strain of Seth’s seed, living among, but apart from the corrupt descendants of the cursed Cain or perhaps of other Sethites devoted to the creator God, it would be natural to develop a hope or belief in the eventual salvation of this race, consisting in its extrication from such people who constantly tempted the true Sethites to procreatively mingle with their own race, and thus lose their awareness of their special ancestry. Such extrication would of course be a dramatic, apocalyptically-conceived act, in which the remaining pure Sethites would be reunited with their primordially enlightened counterparts now existing in the aeons above, perhaps even raptured into the third or fourth of the Sethian Luminaries in close proximity to their ultimate ancestor, Seth.
The movement downward is a devolution from the original simplicity of the divine acme, moving away stage by stage from primal perfection, unity, and integration towards realms increasingly characterized by multiplicity, deficiency, separateness, distance and alienation from the divine source. In the gnostic myths, the sequence of the unfolding of the higher to the lower world proceeds in terms of dramatic episodes, personified aeonic beings, sexual procreation, and the praising of the parent by the offspring.
Cursing the very earth he made, Yaldabaoth expels the enlightened couple from the Garden. But as enlightened beings they are still superior to their creator, so Yaldabaoth comes up with yet another scheme to nullify their newly gained intelligence: implanting the humans with the desire for sexual intercourse. Yaldabaoth himself sets the example by seducing the earthly Eve, begetting two subhuman powers, Cain and Abel, who will procreate future generations that will be subjected to his control by the heavy chain of fate and the compulsion to procreate themselves by sexual intercourse. Unfortunately, Yaldabaoth rapes only an earthy simulacrum of Eve, whose spiritual power the Mother removed in the nick of time, while it is the now enlightened Adam that goes on to know" the true Eve, who bears their child Seth, who like Adam possesses the human image of God, and is destined to father the “seed of Seth", a race of human beings who will likewise bear the image of the true God.
From this, Jewish Gnostics concluded that there were two races, the pure and undefiled seed of Seth, which avoids sexual intercourse, and the children of Cain, given over to lust, sin, evil and damnation. These two races must not intermingle. During the history of the world, the malicious creator Archon tries to oppress and destroy the seed of Seth by the flood, the conflagration of Sodom, and finally at the end of the world, but all three times Seth manages to save his righteous seed.
The Gnostics knew themselves to be the “other seed,” the progeny of Seth, who was born to Adam and Eve after she had successfully escaped the lustful attacks of the ignorant creator. By the use of the second myth, Satan’s adulterous relations with Eve were highlighted by the Gnostics into a prime example of mixis, the illicit blending of two essentially separate kinds of beings through the union between mortal women and the angels descended from heaven, which resulted in the birth of giants and the sending of the flood. For the Gnostics, the leader of these angels was no longer Satan or other angelic figures as in Jewish tradition, but the creator himself, Yaldabaoth, Sakla or Samael.
Creation and destruction are not universal constants
There's nothing suspect about God saving the Gentiles through the Jews.
It will be replaced with a permanent state of being where no pain, suffering, or exhaustion exists. There will be no need for day or night, as neither food or sleep is required

I"d be instantly suspicious of any so called "God" that made things worse rather than better while claiming the opposite.
Actions speak louder than words, "Saved" people wouldn't rape and pillage a planet for a millennium.
Western society, under the influence of Jews via Christianity, has been brutal and bloody nonstop. Pretty sure they are related and when one thing goes, the other will too.

You don't think the bible stories are allegorical?
Like the whale one for instance.
And it is ridiculously boring.
