Polytheism (from Greek πολυθεϊσμός, polytheismos) is the worship of or belief in multiple deities, which are usually assembled into a pantheon of gods and goddesses, along with their own religions and rituals. In most religions which accept polytheism, the different gods and goddesses are representations of forces of nature or ancestral principles, and can be viewed either as autonomous or as aspects or emanations of a creator deity or transcendental absolute principle (monistic theologies), which manifests immanently in nature (panentheistic and pantheistic theologies).[1] Most of the polytheistic deities of ancient religions, with the notable exceptions of the Ancient Egyptian[2] and Hindu deities, were conceived as having physical bodies.


Polytheism is a type of theism. Within theism, it contrasts with monotheism, the belief in a singular God, in most cases transcendent. Polytheists do not always worship all the gods equally, but they can be henotheists, specializing in the worship of one particular deity. Other polytheists can be kathenotheists, worshiping different deities at different times.


Polytheism was the typical form of religion during the Bronze Age and Iron Age up to the Axial Age and the development of Abrahamic religions, the latter of which enforced strict monotheism. It is well documented in historical religions of Classical antiquity, especially ancient Greek religion and ancient Roman religion, and after the decline of Greco-Roman polytheism in tribal religions such as Germanic paganism or Slavic paganism.


Important polytheistic religions practiced today include Chinese traditional religion, Hinduism, Japanese Shinto, Santeria, and various neopagan faiths.

Answer:

(3). Challenges Facing Israel as a Nation

Explanation:

Israel matches all three characteristics listed in the question.

Israel is bordered by hostile countries, because Arab nations like Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt have always had complicated relations with Israel, ever since the country came to be after World War II.

Israel also has very limited arable land, because the country is very small, and most of its territory is either desert, or semi-desert. For this same very reason, israel has scarce water resources.

Finally, Israel has suffered from several intifadas, which are popular rebellions from the arab populations of Cisjordania and Gaza, the two territorial entities that conform the state of Palestine, which borders Israel.
