………………………………………………………—— "The Book of Light · Ten Days' Lament"

In the beginning, God created the world.The Tao is the only one, everything comes out of His hand, it was in the past, it is in the present, and it will be in the future.I was born when the sun rose on the eighth day.In these seven days, everything in the heaven and the earth will be completed. God said that a secretary will be produced to record the events.Among the many angels he didn't like, he created me. He called me Raziel and asked me to be his permanent secretary.

The seven days mentioned by God are days that cannot be counted by man. Man cannot count what will happen during this period.It is recorded in the scriptures that Adam was born on the sixth day, but Adam himself did not know it.That is to say, when he ate the fruit at the end of the day, he knew that he was born on the sixth day, but he could never count the distance between the sixth day and the seventh day.

In this world, not only people cannot know the various stories of these seven days, but even the few angels who often serve before God don’t know it all.The events of these seven days cannot be observed with the eyes of ordinary people, and even the seven days cannot be counted by the time understood by ordinary people, and Adam did not know how long he had passed before he ate the fruit.

God said that among all the angels, if He did not favor him, He created me and asked me to record things for Him.I was the first born among the second generation of angels. He didn't let me talk casually, but only told me all the past events from the next day, and asked me to write them down one by one.These things are so numerous and mysterious that ordinary people cannot tell them with their mouths, see them with their eyes, or listen to them with their ears.This is not an event that ordinary people can know, and even the few angels who often serve Him only know one side of these events, but together, they can’t tell them apart and don’t understand.

At first, I didn't know why I had to keep track of things, but when I found out, I sighed and grieved.Maybe, I can't know His real meaning today, and I hope I can't know His meaning.

I watched Adam eat the forbidden fruit.Because God does not allow me to speak casually, I am mostly silent. Even if I see strange things beyond my imagination, and ugly things beyond my tolerance, even if I am horrified, admired, disgusted, and sad, I hardly speak, because God Tell me that the only thing I do is remember things.

I don't have any friends, and the angels don't know me well. Those who met me thought I was boring, because I just kept silent and watched them quietly.

As time goes by, all kinds of events are no longer so surprising in my eyes, because there is nothing in the world that is more admirable than the six days when God created the world. Except for the first day, I have memorized all these things one by one. My heart was calm.

I often hold the book I use to record, which has no beginning and no end.Although it can be held in the hand, the number of pages is endless.Although the starting page number is the seventh page, an infinite number of pages can be found by turning forward.And the pages are blank.I think that the event that should be recorded in the preceding pages is God's first day's work.I didn't know these things, and He never said them, so I couldn't record them, so I only started from the second day.I wrote down many pages later, but ordinary people can’t count the number of pages, and you don’t need to ask. If I didn’t use God’s grace, I wouldn’t be able to remember so many things.

When I have a little leisure time, I will take it as a pleasure, flip through these records, open a page at random, and read it carefully, which has become my only source of pleasure.At that time, Adam was still walking in the Garden of Eden, and I was often in the Garden of Eden. I like to perch quietly on the treetops, or read or observe Adam with a book.By the grace of God, Adam could not see me, but thought I was the wind.

Several times he saw the breeze and thought that God was coming, but in fact it was just me watching him quietly beside him. [Note: Wind is often a symbol of Jehovah in the Bible]

When I saw him naked and innocent, I became curious. God created angels with glory and authority, but why did he create such a creature apart from this perfect creation? With faces similar to those of angels.I really couldn’t understand God’s meaning, but I never could or dared to speculate on God, so I could only see Adam often.

At that time, only the angels favored by God could often walk in Eden. Those who often visited Adam included Gabriel, Raphael, and Remiele. He wants to call himself "Adam's brother", but in fact he often teases this stupid "brother".

Speaking of "teasing," Gabriel loves to do it, too.He used to run up to Adam and say, "Hey, Adam, do you know who I am?"

Adam replied rather dullly: "You are the one named Gabriel, standing before God."

"Wrong! You fool, I'm Raphael."

Adam just looked at it stupidly, put on a rough smile and said, "Ah, you're Raphael! I was wrong! I was wrong!"

Gabriel laughed and said, "Adam, I'm kidding you! I'm Gabriel."

It's just that Adam is stupid and couldn't understand what Gabriel meant, so he could only scratch his head and say, "What do you mean by joking?"

Gabriel laughed again and said, "It's just a joke to say that you are from Raphael."

Adam responded obliviously, and when Raphael came to see him, he asked, "Who are you?"

Raphael said, "I'm Raphael."

Adam said, "You're kidding."

Raphael didn't understand why he said that, but said to the angels that vibrated from his wings by the grace of God: "Although I know this man is not smart, this human being is really too stupid. Probably heard someone say something bad!"

Although Adam was so easily fooled and called Raphael a joker, after a while, he would forget about it again, and even Gabriel couldn't recognize it.Only Adam could recognize God, and he would cry when he saw God.God always comforts him and gives him arms.

I was amazed by this kind of thing, so I often went to see him in the Garden of Eden.

One day, I was looking at him from the top of a tree, but a light flashed in front of my eyes. I saw a spirit perched on the branch. The appearance of this spirit is so perfect. If you say where I have seen such In appearance, it can only be said to be a god.

The spirit was full of splendor, and there were no wings on its back. I almost cried out, "My Lord! Why are you here?"

The Spirit smiled at me and said, "Raziel, your Lord is not here now."

I was surprised again and said, "Then which one are you?"

He laughed and said, "You haven't seen me before, because I was born much earlier than you, and my name is not found in your records, because you are recording for God, starting from the second day."

I was so surprised that I couldn't speak, so he kissed me lightly on the forehead, put a leaf plucked from an olive tree in my hand and said, "Raziel, we will meet again in the future."
