  21. Abraham Born: 2166 Abraham lived at the height of Ur’s prosperity. “He did not live in some scrubby boondocks where nothing had yet happened…Pre-Abrahamic Mesopotamia contained all the necessary components of civilized life…Our modern age has advanced over ancient Mesopotamia, but only in the spheres of technical knowledge and gadgetry” (Hoerth, 54).

  22. Abraham “Thousands of economic, legal, and judicial texts witness to the complex and pervasive roles of the palace and the temple in the everyday life of the people. The rich archaeological finds from Ur indicate that it was a thriving commercial center during this entire period. It was from such a culturally advanced city that Abram began his earthly pilgrimage of faith (Gen 11:31; Acts 7:4)” (ZAOB, 90)

  23. Abraham Translated: Abram was a rich pagan from New York when God interrupted his life. “Long ago, your fathers lived beyond the Euphrates, Terah, the father of Abraham and of Nahor; and they served other gods” (Josh 24:2) Translated: Abraham worshipped the moon god Nanna at the Ziggurat in Ur, had sex with temple prostitutes, and set food before shrines as food for the gods, when God called him to faith.
