OT God was just one of thousands of angry warrior king types with magical powers, there's really nothing special about that myth whatsoever, and that religion likely would have died out with all other ancient religions if it hadn't been used to as a traditional and credibility foundation for a new religion which is, for the most part, not really similar at all.
Agree to disagree. Not a single positive idea of Jesus found in the Gospels is original, let alone revolutionary.
