Because theology of Israel has to be reflexed in context of ancient cultures and politics, for example, Egypt and Mesopotamia, it is necessarily that theology of Israel contains their thoughts. During and after the colonial era Israelite had to establish their identity again. If they have failed a competition between neighbouring cultures, their religion would have been disappeared. In this context they left a cultural heritage to the humankind. In spite of colonialism and cultural cleansing they suggested a concept of “linear time”, “world court” and “sin or guilt” in history and theology . While Israelite struggled with colonialism of Egypt and Mesopotamia, they improved a thought of world history combined with world court by God and a new di-mension of theology which everybody had the responsibility for others in this world. This is a sublime and revolutionary synthesis of theology between Egypt and Mesopotamia. From this a concept of sin is derived and has a significant meaning. All is connected with the justice in front of God and history is a revelation of God.
