Under Pillar of Cloud by day, and of Fire by Night

This is an Experiment!!! Im learning to create countries along with leaders and ministers (could use help on the minister thing)

Here's a little introduction and hint to who I shall be playing as:



Under Pillar of Cloud by Day, and of Fire by Night



*********************
Introduction

The Book of Exodus

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.

3 ¶ And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.

4 This day came ye out in the month Abib.

5 And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jeb'usites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.

6 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.

7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.

8 And thou shalt show thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.

9 And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD's law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.

10 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.

11 And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,

12 that thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, Lk. 2.23 and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the male shall be the LORD's.

13 And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.

14 And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:

15 and it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.

16 And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.


The Pillar of Cloud and the Pillar of Fire

17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:

18 but God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.

19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.

20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.

21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night.

22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
 
Is this gonna be an Israel AAR?

BADASS! :)
 
21And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night;
22the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people. (Ex. 13:21-22)



***************

1 A storm wind was blowing from the southwest, and the dawn was coming upon the land of Israel.
2 It was the third year of the new era of the people of Israel.
3. For the children of Israel had been persecuted in the land of the Goths, and sought shelter in their ancient and rightful home.
4. Then in the 5,768th year, a man by the name of David came to the new Israel. And the Lord was pleased.
5. The Lord then appeared to David, and came to him in the form of a pillar of fire in the early morning light.
6. Then the Lord spoke unto David, and David fell to his knees
7. “David, it is with you I form my new covenant, with you I place the dreams of the people of Israel.
8. The time has come for the people of Israel to claim the land which I have provided for them.
9. I again bestow upon thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jeb'usites. It falls to you to earn these lands for your people.
10. From this point you shall be marked by your service to me, and it shall be known that with you I have covenant.
11. Then the Lord departed from David, and David fell prostrate, and wept.

************************

The sun was slowly rising from the east, and a man in his late 30’s by the name of David, was walking along the hills of Canaan. It was then when the Pillar of Fire appeared to him. Upon gaining himself, he returned to the city of Jerusalem. He quickly ran to the seat of Government, and after pleading for entry, he was admitted. He then presented the mark to the Leader of Israel. The President of Israel had doubts with David, it was then that a pillar of cloud descended over the building…

Within the week, David was placed in command of all Israeli forces.

The Day was August 31st, 1939.

Also, if someone can help me by making a small minister file, and help get a leader file that works (all i can get to show up is david) please let me know


CvM
 
Wonderful inspiration, C.V. I look forward to this!! And great beginning!!

What do the Jordanians think of you annexing their country? :)


Dont worry, you'll get that story later... :D
 
The starting PM will be David Ben-Gurion, the President (Head of Govt) will be Ezaer Weizmann. FM is Moshe Sharett. Other ministers for this govt could include Yitzhak Rabin, Golda Meir, Shimon Peres. Your best General is Moshe Dayan, although he does not yet have his characteristic eyepatch yet. He could be eligible for Chief of Staff and the other military osition, and should be a field marshal with skill level 4 or even five. Ariel "Arik" Sharon is also a general.

Of you elect right, you will have PM Vladimir Ze'ev Jabotinsky. Ministers could include Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir. Jabotinsky dies in 1940 and Begin becomes leader of the right.

There are historic commies, you could look them up. Fascists? I don't think that's possible, would they wish to commit genocide of themselves?

I never play the Cold War mod, but they must have an Israel, you could cannabalize their leader and minister files.
 
As for Jordan, Balfour's originally envisioned Jewish Homeland in Palestine included this area. 77% of the Palestine mandate was given to the Hashemite prince Abdullah, who was supposed to be king of Hedjaz before it was conquered by the Wahhabis of Nejd (Saudis), the was briefly king of Syria until Sykes-Picot and it became a French sphere of influence. Churchill was influential in this decision, It might be historically avoidable. The country could also be demographically viable if there was massive immigration from Europe. The Germans might be willing to just dump all the Jews in Israel, they tried historically and the British wouldn't let 'em in for fear of antagonizing the Arabs.

Here's an idea: if a coup or puppeting makes Israel fascist, it becomes Palestine, headed by Grand Mufti Hajj Amin el-Husseini
 
LOL, thanks for all the replys Personguyfellow.


I'll edit the year.


also, if you had the time, could you perhaps make a minister file? i dont require any replacement ministers, just the normal starting.

(o, Ben Gurion is already in my leaderfile, just gotta get it to work)

Shadow Communist Head of Govt and State: Not sure, but there is an Israeli communist party, Chadash, used to have several seats in Knesset, today it is smal and mostly Arab. You coul look it up. If necessary, there are always Red Shadows...

Shadow Fascist head of Govt and state (becomes Palestine) Grand Mufti Hajj Amin el-Husseini. At least a idea.

Sorry I'm not more helpful. I'll go check the Cold War mod, see if I see anything.
 
Hey! For everyone who hasn´t figured it out, the place where the holy grail was kept (at least in "the last crusade") is actually in Jordania, it is in the city named Petra, an important caravan link.


I do not know why I wrote that

*Walks of to apply for UNKC*

(UNKC=UnNecissary KnowingClub, a club for all of those who knows many unnecissary things, such as that Che Guevara had asthma)
 
this is going to be very interesting!
