The problem with maps like these is they fall apart when they hit Asia.

The concept of having “a religion” only exists for the monotheistic faiths.

Across Asia every society has a complex mix of Buddhist philosophy, polytheistic gods, nature spirits, and national ideology.

Misleading on Christianity. Most "Christians" Christian in name only. In other words:

Matthew 7:22-23 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

It’s kind of interesting, the inverse relationship of christianity to shiitehole countries. But I think there are far more christians in China than otherwise known, due to the underground church there, perhaps 300million of them which is almost as big as the entire population of the US.

At least 10% of Chinese are Christians, even if they can’t be open about it.

Secularism is only on the rise in Europe, because Christianity has been so successful in creating a life that man now thinks he can be self-sufficient.

Israel is the only country with a Jewish majority, with 76% of the population being practicing Jews.

Must be the "Spirit of '76" then...

At the outset, the Torah connects Jacob with Joseph. Of all his sons specifically Joseph holds the key to not only Jacob's but the family's ission*. LINK

There's the ankh key at the end of Joseph's Egyptian code name:

שם יוסף צפנת פענח

Besides the regular Hebrew key [מפתח]:

שם יוסף צפנת פענח

The Nile was the veritable governor over all life in Egypt, thus intrinsically associated with the ankh, the Egyptian key of life, immortality.

In modern Hebrew, the Nile is נילוס, which = 156 = Yosef [יוסף].

De Nile, it's not just a river in EGYPT...

Gen 45
25. And they went up from Egypt, and came to the land of Canaan to Jacob their father:
26. And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt; And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not:

*that "typo" is at the link. Perhaps the Author meant permission.

Of all his sons specifically Joseph holds the key to not only Jacob's but the family's permission:

45.7. And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance..

bones = skeleton

A skeleton key (also known in North America as a passkey[1]) is a type of master key in which the serrated edge has been removed in such a way that it can open numerous locks[2], most commonly the warded lock. The term derives from the fact that the key has been reduced to its essential parts.[2]

The term is also used synonymously with master key to refer to any key, keycard or other device capable of opening a variety of locks.

Skeleton Key

Rain, childbirth, resurrection of the dead, sustenance. So many mysterious keys. Not to be entrusted to any one agent mind you.

Yankhkeys... what can you do with them? Can't live with them, can't live without them.

Gotta laugh because there's WAMO on that Aish page. Joseph, yesod... it never ends:

The Kabbalistic term associated with Joseph is Yesod, meaning "foundation," as in Tzaddik Yesod Olam, meaning "a good nd just man is the foundation of the world." Alternatively, Joseph is the foundation of the Jewish people. Had Joseph been killed, or disappeared in the slavemarkets of Egypt, the foundation of the nation would have been missing as well.

Perhaps now we can understand another episode in the Torah. When the Jews finally leave Egypt, Moses heads to the Nile in order to recover the remains of Joseph and to fulfill the promise to bring Joseph's remains out of Egypt. Why, at such a crucial moment, would Moses himself take on this task?

We know that Moses was found as an infant by the daughter of Pharaoh. His sister Miriam, who observed this scene from afar, then offered to find a nurse for the baby, intending, of course, to take him back home again.

Back home, to his mother:

"A little girl led me to the Hebrew woman Yochabel."

For her contribution in the theatre, [Yochabel] has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6126 Hollywood Boulevard.

The name Fonda means "foundation", and the address of the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood is 6126 Hollywood Boulevard.

A Hebrew equivalent to dream on is... literally, you're living in a movie.

We shall see what will become of his dreams.

Eyes are the windows to the soul.

[Roy Orbison's song] Crying, at the Fonda (3:33)

"It's hard to understand, but the touch of your hand, can start me crying." ~ The Wailing Wall

With the rising sun
On her wedding day
She raised her eyes to the heavens
And she thanked Hashem
For the man of truth
With whom she would build a nation.

Mama Rochel - רחל אימנו

You really have to search for Serach, because on the movie's wiki page (English) she's nowhere to be found. Then on the actress' page, she's only listed as -- Frail Old Lady (uncredited)

But the movie's Hebrew page identified her:

"שרח (אדלין דה וולט ריינולדס) - עבריה שעוזרת למשה למצוא את ארונו של יוסף"

Serach (Adeline de Walt Reynolds) - Hebrew who helps Moses find Joseph's coffin.

27. And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them; and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
28. And Israel said, Rav Joseph my son is yet alive; I will go and see him before I die:

Here's that very scene. Even with the coffin. (8:17)

Serach has one word: "Joshua!"

###

"Arise all Israel! Behold the dawn of freedom!"

Any questions?
