Nice chiluq!

Who said that "nivchar mibein ha'amim" means anything beyond benei Adam,
amim as caused by Migdal Bavel?

Perhaps their revelation isn't so much competing as the RBSO providing
them a chance at redemption before Yom Hashem haGadol vehanora, or at
least before whenever it is we get there?


: them as a special kind of Noachides with a possible true revelation that
: is, however, subordinate to ours and can never contradict it.

This is itself the question I was trying to keep under discussion. Could
we even recognize a contradiction? After all, the appearance of Retzon
haBorei to creatures very different than us isn't likely to have many
points where we can contradict.

Assuming they are ethical monotheists, that is.

Tir'u baTov!
