The methods of the angels are naturally more sophisticated than Nietzsche's. The various information contained in this staff can only be felt by Yue Su. As his realm grows, he will naturally understand it when he can understand it. Because after all, Jesus is not a mortal, he is the reincarnating Lord of the Kingdom of Heaven.
After the ceremony was over, Jesus no longer concealed anything. He told John everything about how he met the old storyteller in the Syrian desert, and how he met the moonlit night by the Tianzhu River and gave him the staff of Moses.
The meeting between the two people today can be said to be a clever and hidden arrangement made by the angels. Moses secretly guided John to the Jordan River to baptize the people. When Jesus returned to his hometown, he happened to receive this kind of baptism.
Neither Elijah nor Mingyue Ye nor Moses personally awakened the power of Jesus. On the one hand, they were afraid of having an unknown impact on Jesus's pursuit of proof in the world, and on the other hand, they did not want the gods of Olympus to notice any clues. . Everything happens naturally through human means, which is the safest thing.
John also reminded Jesus that the news that he was the prophesied Messiah must be kept strictly confidential and not easily disclosed to others, otherwise it might lead to unexpected disasters.
Jesus replied calmly: "This is not something to be ashamed of. I don't mind keeping it secret, but I won't publicize it or tell it to others. Messiah is not a title but an achievement. Only with that Only by fulfilling your vow and completing such a mission can you achieve great achievements.
He can be me or you, it doesn¡¯t matter who we call ourselves! "
John praised: "What you are saying is that my reminder is unnecessary.
Can I ask you something? What do you think of my practice of using the baptism ceremony to awaken strength for people I meet at any time, breaking the conventions of the sub-temple? "
Jesus smiled: "The priests of the temple have controlled this ritual, thinking it is a privilege granted by the gods, and being able to accept this ritual has become a status symbol of honor and privilege.
But this road is already there, and it is infinitely broad. One person taking this path does not hinder another person. And I'm sure that even if it is circulated publicly. There will be no competition for it. "
John thought thoughtfully and asked: "There will be no competition? What do you mean by this? Why are you so confident in making this judgment?" Jesus smiled and explained: "Even if it is baptized publicly for all who are willing to accept it, , it is very difficult to awaken the original power, and transcending eternal life is even more elusive. In the past hundred years, except for the prophet Elijah, have you heard of anyone who became an angel and went directly to heaven before the end of his life?
The road to transcendence and eternal life is so difficult. Not only does it require the most diligent cultivation in the world, but it also requires passing various difficult tests. However, the hope of finally reaching the end is so slim that it is almost impossible for most people. With the same wisdom and effort, the same hard work and price, it is much easier to pursue fame, status, wealth, and beauty in the world!
¡°If the world understands all this, even if you point out this path to them, many people will make other choices, which may be a kind of wisdom or a kind of fear. God should understand this, so he tells the world about the existence of a transcendent path to eternal life. His purpose is not to give the priests a privilege, but to give the world a hope.
As long as people are willing, let everyone be baptized and tell the truth as clearly as possible. It doesn¡¯t have to be so mysterious and complicated. God does not need to use eternal life to win people's belief. You should tell people directly that compared with all other pursuits in the world, transcending eternal life is much more difficult. People can use their limited lives to make their own choices. Only Satan will use this method. Hope you or people's yearning. "
Along with Jesus¡¯ words, the glimmer of morning light already appeared in the direction of the Eude Valley in the east. John squinted his eyes and murmured to himself: "God does not need eternal life to win people's belief. Transcendent eternal life is a difficult hope and achievement, not a reward in the temple." He repeated these words again and again. He recited it many times, and then bowed to the ground again and said, "Joseph, even if I didn't hear the angel's voice, I still believe that you are the prophesied Messiah at this moment."
After daybreak, John said goodbye to Jesus and led his disciples away from here. His mission has been completed, but the mission is not over. There are more important things to do.
After returning home, Jesus said hello to his parents, gave his mother all the rewards he had accumulated while traveling around the country, and then walked alone into the wilderness and began an ascetic practice. If he wanted to guide his disciples and baptize people like John, he had to achieve great success first.
He took a boat along the Yedan River to the south bank of Neijie Lake and entered the edge of the Syrian Desert. The first step of transcendent immortality is the "awakening of power" and the accompanying test is the "awakening of desire." andHowever, the lower the qualifications of people, the more difficult the initial test. In many cases, the opposite is true. When many great achievers have just awakened their power, their initial failure was particularly violent.
Jesus was in the middle of the Gobi Desert. Looking southward, he could see endless stretches of yellow sand. He was surrounded by bare rocks with the sun shining directly on him. The weather was extremely hot, and there was not a single green tree or even fresh grass around him. Behind him, Occasionally, the low roars of wild beasts could be heard from the distant grasslands, and he was also suffering from the pain in his heart.
When he came here and sat down, he felt very hungry, as if he hadn't eaten for many days, but he had obviously just eaten. There is a fire burning in the body, accompanied by various conflicting desires.
He closed his eyes and entered meditation, and vaguely heard a voice in his soul: "You are the son of Aluo* that the people of Seleng are looking forward to, but the fate you will choose will not be like the emperor of the world. You will not have Gorgeous clothes, magnificent palaces and hordes of slaves. Why disappoint people and yourself like this? Be the king that the people of Selen expect, you know what they want!"
Am¨¦ng roared in the soul: "You are Satan! Please don't kill me!"
The voice replied with a smile: "Yes, I am Satan, and I am you. This world belongs to me and it belongs to you, and the same goes for your soul. With just one thought, I can give you what you want." Everything. Don't be afraid of youhuo, youhuo is innate, otherwise how would you know the choice?"
There were beads of sweat on Joseph's forehead. He was panting heavily and suddenly said slowly: "Please stay with me! Let me accept this kind of test." Then his expression gradually calmed down.
While Jesus was practicing asceticism between the desert and the grassland, John led his disciples north along the Jordan River toward the city of Selang. Along the way, he preached to people the faith and guidance of Arrow and baptized people, just as Jesus said. , more and more people are following him.
Today's Maro rulers adopt a policy of governing the locals by local people in the Saleng Plain. They establish governors, leave a small number of troops to maintain order, and appoint locals as tax collectors to collect taxes for the Maro Empire. He consecrated a king of the Zelenites, his name was Herod.
This Herod used the name of his father, and the transformed father, Herod the Elder, was the one who ordered the search for newborn babies when Jesus was born. At that time, Jesus' parents received advice from Vincent Bu and fled to Ecu with Jesus to escape the disaster.
Herod was not the king of an independent country. He only accepted the canonization from the Maroons, which symbolized that the Maroon Empire ruled a local county king, and his status was equivalent to that of a great lord. But in the city of Saleng, his life was no different from that of a real king, living in a luxurious palace and supervising many servants.
Herod believed that he was the king of the Zelen people. He would be the king no matter whether they were under the rule of the Maro Empire or the Zelen people established an independent country. After the death of Emperor Augustus of Malo, his successor was cruel and incompetent, and his control over the remote Seren plain gradually weakened. Therefore, the Selen people's desire to get rid of their rule became stronger and stronger. King Herod controlled the The power is also growing.
Nowadays, the residents in the Saleng City area are divided into two types of people: the Saleng people and the Sama people. The Saleng people are the descendants of the tribe that Moses brought back to his hometown, the original miners of Duke Town. Their ancestors were originally the owners of this land. After returning to Saleng City, they were well cared for and respected. With their hard work and wisdom, they created wealth, gained status and passed it on to their descendants.
Hundreds of years have passed. From being respected for hard work and wisdom in the beginning, it has gradually become a real class status. Many people in Sanlian think that they are noble and different. The Sama people are the descendants of the original savages, plateau giants, and lumpen proletarians from all over the mainland. Their ancestors built this city-state on a desolate swamp after the great flood, but now they belong to a lowly class.
Those who hold authority, especially the elders and priests in the temple, are always petty
Carefully distinguishing oneself from ordinary people, especially the Sama people, they are accustomed to wearing floor-length robes,
They gather together alone and claim to be the chosen ones who are favored by God. Aluo* and Moses agreed on ten commandments, but later the elders of Selen made hundreds of rules based on the scriptures, claiming that every word and deed was based on God's will.
In fact, most of the Celeng people are not bad people, but their subtle customs make them arrogant and think that they are the best race in the world and the people who satisfy God the most.
However, John¡¯s preaching and preaching were not affected by this. He did not distinguish between the Salamites and the Samathites, and explained to his disciples: ¡°You must learn to look at yourself. People who rely too much on nothing will often gain nothing. Only by looking at their hearts soberly can they recognize the truth. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit." More and more people followed John. When he returned to the city of Saleng again, he already had a reputation among the people.Many disciples and wide influence. ! .
