Im going to ask a stupid question so forgive me. You spoke a lot about local events in the region for what the writers knew. So here is a hypothetical situation and I would want to know how you would answer it. How would you respond to an Aborigine from Australia, a Cherokee from N. America or some Saxon from Northern Europe if they said: “Hey, it wasn’t OUR ancestors that rebelled against God. We didn’t even know about YHWH. It wasn’t OUR ancestors that were scattered around the world. Our ancestors and nations aren’t even part of the Table of nations that were scattered and listed in your Bible. Our ancestors weren’t even put under lesser Elohim due to the Babel event. We were scattered in our current locations long before any of this happened. If it’s all local issues, then your god has issues with you locals and what YOUR ancestors did to Him…..not us”
Thank you

I would consciously say; lucky for them that salvation is personal and not collective.

Thank you J, but I don’t think it really answers the question of their role in the biblical drama that was being played out in the past.
