Yahweh Sabaoth was his name, god of armies.
After casting off their other gods “for I AM a jealous god” they were “chosen” by the one that remained.
Have you heard the story of Sophia? Mother of Christ and the malformed stillbirth yahweh?
The ungraced “one most high”? Who’s peak could never extend past the physical morass into the spiritual pleuroma?
These are just my thoughts, but the story fed to us at mass through the cannibal rituals led by pedophiles reeks of control and contractual complacency (I include all Churches under this description, out of fairness, some have been more exposed than others)
If you’re going to read and seek insight from the scriptures, you should be using the oldest, and therefore least manipulated versions, this all comes from the nag hammadi texts.

The gnostic cosmogeny (one interpretation)
Charitably, lets say you are suffering from the "curse of knowledge" in your post.
You have to presume that people reading what you write don't know the background that you have on a topic. You have to bring yourself to their level, not tell them to bring themselves up to yours, if you want to successfully communicate with them that is.
Fair point, however given the topic and it’s tendency to provoke Talmudic reasoning, I tried to state as little as possible, and name the texts, players, and plots relavent to our story.
If I were to retool this what context would you want to see? The video nicely encapsulates the proof of “G-d”s origin as the lord of armies. As for the Gnostic cosmogeny, that’s harder to describe but does this video explain where I’m coming from or is it still too mysterious:

I'll watch, later, when I have a few free movements.
So, thoughts on the two videos?
A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.

(edit) Also, I didn't watch the second one. A lot to say, really, about the first one. But I get your point now. Rather than take the grand narrative imposed by Christians on the Old Testament of God's covenantal promise from a chosen people applied to all humanity through Christ, the theory in this video reverses the causal arrow. In other words, it makes the case that Jews, and later early Christians, are essentially good salesmen.
