Is it fair to state that the Gods kept the population small to a degree to enforce rules, regulations, and doctrines of the three sectors of life mental, physical, and spiritual. So that later when humans advance themselves and the population starts to rise everyone is following the proper statures for development.
In my personal opinion the only reason why the population exploded is simply enemy interference and even so much as biblical Qaballah pumping such as "the meek shall inherit the Earth" and "thou shalt multiply and prosper". That last one works both ways and can be a sign of energy traveling the path of quickest and least resistance. Meek Gentile: If I multiple I can go somewhere else and prosper for free grubz and shiet. Jew: Muh cattle milking and large family free grubz and shekels from )))nations(((.
So is it fair it's simply the outcome of brutality that has been hanging over the human race for around 10,000 years now.
