>in the Old Testament, the hebrews used to associate their acts and natural phenomena to the divine entity of God
>for instance, if they reaped corn, they'd say God gave it to them, if they made a transaction, they'd say God handed them those shekels and so on
>the hebrews also used to attribute a divine quality to the things that provoked amazement to their eyes
>for instance, they'd call a huge tree a tree of God, a roaring thunderbolt the voice of God, and call even the tallest individuals which would murder and prostitute themselves the Sons of God

>they saw phenomena as signs of God
Yes, that's true in the ultimate metaphysical sense, since by His power everything is created and sustained from moment to moment, and without Him nothing would be.

The smallest phenomena depends just as much on God as the largest cosmic phenomena...The ancients were right to attribute those things to God's power, in the ultimate sense, even if they got some empirical facts of causality wrong, their hearts were in the right place.

Stop suppressing your knowledge of God, it's driving you insane.

Eisenstein and spinoza said that god = nature

like the hindus`

Not all Hindus identify God with nature, several schools of Hinduism say that God is transcendental to the universe, and this is arguably supported by the Upanishads which say in various places that God is beyond and outside the world

It doesn't matter be cause both are right. The transcendentalists are right that the full framework is out of their reach (god is transcendent to their universe), and the god = nature people are right, since it is calling god the framework of the universe.
