The gods of ancient Greece mainly existed in the form of guardians. For example, the patron saint of Athens was Athena. According to legend, when Athens was first built, Athena and Poseidon fought endlessly over who would become its patron saint. After reaching an agreement, whoever can provide useful things to mankind will be called the patron saint of the city.

Poseidon hit the ground with a trident and turned into a horse, while Athena turned into an olive tree. In Athens, which is full of mountains, the olive tree seems to be more useful, so it ends with Athena's victory. It has also become a symbol of peace and prosperity.

The Greek city of Thebes, where Oedipus was born, has Apollo as its patron saint. Legend has it that the city has seven gates, just like Apollo's lyre. But following the sin committed by Oedipus, the city was not blessed by the gods, but plagued.

The prophet Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. In fact, Thebes' name was "Thebes", which was named Thebes in order to distinguish it from Thebes in Egypt.

Moses knew how to herd sheep. He let out the youngest lambs first so they could eat the tenderest grass, then he let out the bigger sheep so they could eat the tougher grass, and then he let out the strongest sheep, and they Can eat the hardest grass, so that all the sheep can eat grass, and there will be no fighting.

It was because of this scene that Yahweh thought he would have mercy on his people and gave him the rod. But before setting off, Jehovah had something to do for Moses. He asked the Hebrews to collect grass and make bricks to sacrifice to him.

Originally because of the work arranged by Pharaoh, the people who were already overwhelmed added other burdens. Moses thought that following the Lord would save him, so he asked him, "Lord, why are you mistreating this people? Why did you send me to What? Ever since I went to Pharaoh and spoke in your name, he has tortured this people, and you have not saved them at all."

Long, long ago, in the chapters of Genesis, there was such a family. The name of the male owner was Noah, and he was a perfect person in his era. When Jehovah saw that the earth was devastated and full of lawless evil, he decided to destroy it. But before that, he told the righteous Noah that to build an ark, and bring his wife, son, etc. on the ark, as well as livestock and birds, there must be one male and one female.

After Noah carried out everything according to the order, heavy rain fell on the ground for forty days and nights, and the flood submerged the highest mountain. Only Noah's family and the lives in the ark survived.

After wandering for nearly a year, the flood receded. Noah released a dove, which brought back an olive branch. Knowing that the flood had dispersed, Noah took his family and various animals out of the ark.

The role of the shepherd is a kind of protection, even the lost sheep Moses will find it, rather than the superiority of power and aggressive attitude.

But when the Hebrews came to the Promised Land, formed a kingdom, and had the prophet Ezekiel, "The rod has blossomed, and pride has sprouted. Violence has arisen, and it has become a rod of punishment. Israel, or their Neither the multitude nor their treasure shall remain, and none shall be honored among them. The time has come, and the day is near, and the buyer shall not rejoice, nor the seller grieve, for wrath has come upon them all."

Because after Noah went ashore to offer sacrifices, Jehovah promised to the rainbow that he would never use floods to destroy flesh and blood, and it was indeed not the flood that destroyed Jerusalem and the temple. The Israelites, including Ezekiel, were taken captive to Babylon .

Moses made the Israelites and the Hebrews free. According to Ezekiel’s prophecy, the Hebrews lost their freedom, and Jehovah sent such punishment because they disobeyed Jehovah.

Although both prophets, Moses and Ezekiel had different missions.

There is such a question, a moving train, there are one child and nine children playing on the two forks ahead, if the person being asked is the driver, which road will he choose?

This is very similar to the famous "shepherd's paradox" in the field of theology, simply saying "sacrifice one for all, or sacrifice all for one".

Moses chose the latter. Even if a sheep was lost, he would ignore the flock and go to find the lost sheep.

After Noah received the revelation, he didn't spread the word everywhere to let other people change themselves and avoid the disaster of annihilation.

Ezekiel condemned the world, "Woe! The shepherds of Israel only know how to shepherd themselves. Shouldn't the shepherds be like husbands and feed their flocks? You eat the fat, wear the wool, and slaughter the fat ones, but you don't shepherd the flocks. The thin ones, you You did not nourish the sick, you did not heal the sick, you did not bind the wounded, you did not bring back the outcast, you did not seek the lost, but ruled with violence and sternness, for there was no shepherd, the sheep scattered, and being scattered, he became food for all wild animals."

But he spoke, and nothing changed, and Ezekiel also took a brick with a picture of Jerusalem on it, and when that city was besieged, he broke the staff of the Israelites, and Moses prayed for manna when he was in the field, And hit the stone with a stick to get a steady stream of clear springs. In this way, they no longer have to worry about food and clothing. They have to limit their food and water, let alone meat.

In the twenty-fifth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew there are other words besides the sentence "To everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have a surplus; and whoever has nothing, even what he has will hide."

This is a wedding banquet. Ten virgins went to meet the groom with lamps. Five of them were smart and five were stupid. The smart ones knew to prepare lamp oil, but the stupid ones didn't. So the stupid ones said to the wise ones, "Give me some oil." , for our lights are going out."

The smart one refused, and said to the stupid one, "I'm afraid it's not enough for you and me, why don't you go to the oil seller to buy it yourself."

The stupid ones went to buy it, and it happened that the groom came at this time, and those who were ready went in and sat down, and the door was closed.

When the stupid one came back from buying oil and saw the door closed, he yelled outside the door.

"Lord, Lord, open the door for us!"

He replied, "I tell you the truth, I don't know you."

Why didn't the smart ones close the door when they were eating, but didn't realize that the stupid ones hadn't come yet, so they shouldn't have closed the door?

Of course, the virgins are not two-headed birds. Whether it is Garucha or Boyogarucha, whoever eats the delicious fruit enters the same stomach, which is good for their common body.

So when Jerusalem was besieged, who came to the rescue?

Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem for 18 months, and he still had time to build a large number of fortifications, towers, and siege engines. If he was surrounded by support to save Jerusalem, he would not attack the city with peace of mind.

Maybe it's because "reap where there is no sowing, gather where there is no scattered", the king who can bring back wealth, the king does not ask him how he made the money, but praises him for his kindness and loyalty when he sees the money. It's simple, take the king's commission, go to the local magistrate, and send troops to search every house. Even if it is a place where there is no harvest, you can grab some food from the people. As for the people starving to death, what does that have to do with the king? ?

Oh, the besieged city is going to be "Qin Wang", and people close the door "I tell you the truth, I don't know you."

There were a lot of gold, silver and jewels in the temple, and not only the king of Babylon, but also the Romans took away a lot. But instead of breaking the golden candlesticks that brought light, Ezekiel broke a wooden staff.

When those "lords" who used to be high and high were crying by the Chebar River, it would have been easy for Ezekiel to tell him what to do. But who knows that a false prophet came out and said that the life of this prisoner will be over in two years.

"Do you know where you're going!" Pomona couldn't help asking Sybill Trelawney.

"Just ahead," Trelawney said.

"This is the third time you've said that!" Pomona said angrily.

"I'm speaking on behalf of my great-grandmother, Cassandra, for the last time," Trelawney said.

Pomona suspected that she said that on purpose, and then looked for an opportunity to escape.

After all, she just said "on patrol" and didn't say she was going to catch anything.

"Do you believe me?" Trelawney asked.

"Let's go." Pomona said listlessly, and continued to follow the "prophet" through the fog.
