all other gods were fall gods.religion did not last very long, but sor rah theus that was the first of what we refer to as the are revealed rough fetes. in other words, an individual who claimed to be receiving a direct message from god. not abraham, not moses. thousand, what's fashion -- now, what's fascinating about this message is that it begins with this statement that there is only one god. not that there is a high god and there are other gods that are lower than god which is what the sort of revailing sentiment was in mess -- prevailing sentiment was in mesopotamia and the near east, but that there is just one god, the lord mazda, is what he called his god. that all the other so-called gods were not gods. in fact, he designated them as something that had never been set before. he said that they were what he referred to in our modern parlance as angels and demons. that's right. he invented the very concept of angels and demons. that wasn't the only thing that he invented. he invented the concept of heaven and
