Chapter 115 Homer's Epic
Just as Abram's hand holding the knife fell, suddenly a thunder exploded in the sky, and a seraphim descended from the sky and grabbed Abram's hand.
This seraphim was Michael, and he said to Abram: "Stop!"
Abram replied: "God has asked me to take my son as a burnt offering offering. I must carry out it, and you cannot stop me."
Michael snatched the dagger from Abram's hand and said, "It is God who sent me."
Abram looked at Michael doubtfully and asked, "Did God send you?"
"Yes, Abram." Michael said with a smile on his face: "God asked you to take your son Isaac as a burnt offering offering, just to test you, because this is beyond what a mortal can do.
Limit. But you did it and successfully passed God's test."
“God is testing me?”
"Of course." Michael continued: "God needs to test mortals before entrusting them with important tasks."
After speaking, Michael asked Abram to kneel on the ground. He said: "According to God's will, from now on, you will no longer be called Abram. God will change your name to Abraham. You will become the king of the Hebrews."
, possessing numerous territories and kingdoms.”
After speaking, Michael untied the frightened Isaac and comforted him: "Isaac, don't cry. You will become the most indispensable figure in human history."
Isaac asked, "What will I do?"
Michael stroked the soft hair on Isaac's forehead and said: "You will spend your life peacefully. Unlike your father, God will give you twelve sons, and these twelve sons will be born in the fifth century."
The land of the three seas and the three continents has blossomed all over the land, multiplied many descendants, and established a nation, and one of them will give birth to a great prophet in a few years. And you are the ancestor of this prophet."
Isaac said: "But I want to do something for God and receive God's favor through my efforts."
Michael said: "Isaac, my son, God's favor cannot be obtained through diligence and hard work. Cain and Abel were living examples at the time. Cain's hard work and hard work did not gain God's favor."
Favor. And Abel received it.”
Isaac asked, "Why is this?"
Michael said: "It is a gift from God, and it is related to diligence and hard work. As long as you wholeheartedly surrender to God's will, you will receive grace."
Afterwards, Michael said to Abraham: "Take your son back and live well. God will bless you and make you the father of many nations."
Abraham and his son Isaac bid farewell to the seraphim Michael and returned home.
Yang Rui could see all this clearly from the sky. When Michael came to him, he nodded and said, "Thank you for what you have done."
Michael said: "My lord, why do you do this?"
Yang Rui said: "It is extremely difficult for a person to have a firm belief. Abraham did it, so I bless him, and his story will be passed down forever and become an example for future generations."
Michael said: "You once said that you would no longer interfere with the affairs of the world, but why do you have to show yourself repeatedly?"
Yang Rui said: "Sometimes, things don't develop according to their original design, and I have to intervene to get it back on the right track."
Michael asked: "Why is this?"
Yang Rui said: "People's hearts are unpredictable."
Michael was a little confused. But he asked again: "My master, what will you do next?"
Yang Rui turned his head and looked at Michael with a smile and said, "There are still some people waiting for me to guide them."
After saying that, Yang Rui left Michael and came to the beautiful Aegean Sea, which is the territory of the Greeks. Several large and small city-states have sprung up here, and in Athens, the majestic Mount Olympia still stands.
There.
The great flood did not destroy the Sumerians. They used magic to lift the mountains to avoid the flood. Yang Rui had expected this.
After that, the Sumerians no longer took a step down Mount Olympia and lived a secluded life in the mountains. But just below the mountain, the Greeks had developed prosperously and peeked at this magical city every day.
The mountain of light.
Athens is a beautiful city, full of fountains, gardens and sculptures. The Greeks have integrated culture and art into their daily lives, making them live in a positive state every day.
Yang Rui likes this state very much, because it makes the energy field in Athens extremely powerful, and he can absorb this steady stream of energy while walking on the streets.
In a tavern, Yang Rui sat down to take a nap.
This tavern is very lively. Nobles and businessmen in the city of Athens are regular visitors here. They complete transactions, reach political agreements, and even conspire to do some shameful things here.
Yang Rui saw all this, but he didn't want to interfere.
At this time, a fat man walked into the tavern, which immediately caused a sensation. Someone asked: "Homer, how are you doing with your poems? The Odyssey has fascinated me."
Homer found a spacious seat and sat down, ordered a glass of wine, and said: "My poems will definitely surprise you."
Someone echoed: "Tell me what you think."
Homer drank the wine in one gulp. He thought about it carefully and said: "This is a description of a war. In the far east, there is a great city called Troy, where the king snatched away the Greek wife Helen.
, and the warrior Achilles led the Greek coalition to besiege Troy and wage a ten-year war."
"That must be a very good story." Someone praised.
Someone also said: "Your poems sound much more interesting than the theories of that stubborn old man Socrates."
Homer shook his head and said: "Compared with Socrates, I am less sensual. You can't slander Socrates' great achievements like this."
Yang Rui was dressed like a typical Greek aristocrat, which made him extremely inconspicuous among the crowd. He silently watched Homer in front of him chatting with others, and an intriguing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
When Homer left the tavern, Yang Rui followed him. On the chaotic street, Yang Rui caught up with Homer and said, "Your poems are indeed good."
Homer glanced at Yang Rui who was walking beside him and saw that he was dressed in aristocratic clothes. He said politely: "Sir, if you want to know more about the content of the epic, I'm afraid I can tell you. It's better to wait until I complete the creation before resembling the whole epic."
Let the Greeks preach."
Yang Rui said: "I am not interested in your epic, but I want to tell you, do you believe that everything you describe really exists?"
Homer stopped, looked at Yang Rui doubtfully and asked, "What do you mean?"
Yang Rui said: "The Greeks look up to the Olympian peaks every day. It is said that this is where the gods live. Many great stories happened there. Do you really believe in the existence of gods?"
Homer said firmly: "Those things can only deceive the ignorant, but the wise will not believe that they exist."
Yang Rui asked: "Then what is the meaning of writing these poems?"
Homer replied: "I can tell you."
Yang Rui said: "If it is for life, I can understand it, but if it is to fool the people, then it is your fault."
Homer asked sharply: "Who are you?"
Yang Rui said calmly: "I am here to tell you the truth."
"the truth?"
Yang Rui said: "People sometimes need to be fooled or even bewitched, but the people who fool and bewitch them cannot lose their way. Otherwise, when they believe the things they made up to be true, the world will be in chaos."
Homer asks, "What on earth do you want to say?"
Yang Rui said: "I'm here to tell you that there is a god in this world. But he is not on Mount Olympia."
Homer was surprised and asked, "Where are the gods?"
Yang Rui smiled and said, "Let's do this. I'll take you for a walk on Mount Olympia, and you'll know for yourself."
Homer said: "But no one can climb that mountain."
Yang Rui was already walking in front at this time. He turned around and asked: "Do you want to see the truth? Then come with me." To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
