crown of thorns

There is light to shine on you, and water to caress you.Your body is dry, but your hair is moisturized.

—— "Guangjing Xiaoguangyishu"

All angels love each other and love God. The mutual love among angels is something that God allows.They love each other and worship God. They are God's help, vehicle, and servant.

Although the angels love each other, this love has never surpassed the love of God, and the angels will not love one of them more than the other angels.

Although I didn't speak often, after that day, I saw high-ranking angels and asked them.At that time, I said to Gabriel: "There is a beautiful spirit who came to the Garden of Eden not long ago. If this spirit is not God, then who could it be?"

Gabriel said, "What you have seen and known far surpasses me. Why do you ask me instead?"

I said, "The days I know are counted from the second day God created the world. From the words of the Spirit, it seems that He existed on the first day."

Gabriel said: "You must have met that angel. Although his status is high, it is only because he was born earlier than us. I don't see him often, and I don't know about him. It's just God I don't see him often, he's always walking on the ground."

Gabriel is the elder among the angels, and his position in the eyes of the Lord is far higher than mine. If he said he didn't know the origin of this spirit, he probably really didn't know.But if counting from the day of birth, among the first generation of angels I know, the first one to come out is Kamel, he is the elder among the capable angels.I went to Carmel and told him the same thing.

Kamel said: "The one who was born on the first day was that angel. That angel is the king of the kingdom of heaven, the jewel on the crown of Jehovah. You and I are as small as dust in front of him, but we are always loved by him. It's just me I don’t see him often, if I see him, it will be like seeing a god.”

I said, "He put an olive leaf in my hand, what does that mean?"

Kamel said: "His behavior is beyond our expectations, I can't guess. Although no one can see his mind, but among these angels, Remil and Michael are his close friends. , if you want to know why, just ask these two."

I said goodbye to Carmel and went to find Remil and Michael.Michael is the largest of the angels, the great leader of the heavenly army, with red hair and golden eyes, and a golden crown on his head. The light cannot be looked directly at. The seven proverbs of Jehovah are engraved on this crown, which can subdue the adultery in the center of the four directions. He holds a sword with the inscription "Anyone who opposes the LORD shall die" on it. With the power of the LORD, this sword is so powerful that it can split Mount Horeb in two.The wings on his back are the color of emerald, whoever flashes a green light in the sky must be that child.

At that time, the kingdom of heaven had not yet had seven levels, inside and outside, and everything began with God. The farther away from him, the border of the kingdom of heaven. Michael is a hero, the great gatekeeper of the kingdom of heaven. Although he has received many blessings from the Lord, Because of his special status, he is not always by his side. He often travels around to distinguish between good and evil.If any angel has a wrong heart, his sword will be swung against them.

He moved swiftly and was extremely resourceful. With my eyes, I couldn't observe his actions, so I couldn't find him for a while.I just sat down and called his name quietly. Suddenly, a green light flashed in front of my eyes. This light was so dazzling that it seemed to penetrate my body. , I felt as if my heart was caressed by running water, and those confusions that shouldn't have been washed away.

"Raziel, you know, as an angel, you can't be curious and doubtful about everything." Michael seemed to know what topic I wanted to ask, his eyes were slightly closed, and his holy and fair face seemed unfathomable .The toned body was lying in front of my eyes, and I panicked for a moment.

I was afraid that he might misunderstand me, so I said: "I don't stay with you often, and I can't understand all aspects of things. What happened this time was beyond my expectation, so I would like to ask His Royal Highness Michael to answer my questions." confused."

The corner of Michael’s lips seemed to smile slightly, and he said: “Above my crown, the number one admonition is ‘Don’t guess your Lord, Jehovah, God with your own strength’, you know, your confusing thing is The Lord acted on the first day. By the grace of the Lord, you recorded all kinds of stories from the second day. Why do you ask the stories that happened on the first day? You don’t use your heart to guess your supreme king, you Lord?" After saying that, Michael drew out his sword and aimed it at me.

Seeing how tough he was, I was eager to clarify, but the more I clarified, the more confused I became: "I don't want to ask the creation of the first day, I want to ask, who is he? No, I don't want to ask who is he? What I want to ask is..."

Seeing how anxious I was, Michael suddenly covered his stomach and laughed, tears streaming down his face: "I heard that all the angels are clever, but only a few of them are logs, and the biggest log in this log is you." Raziel, I always wanted to see how stupid you are, but now I finally know, I just want to scare you a little bit!" After speaking, he laughed again.

After hearing this, I was ashamed and angry, and glared at him angrily. He couldn't stop laughing when he saw me.

Seeing him like this, I turned around and left, but he grabbed me and said, "Where are you going?"

"Your Highness Michael likes to laugh, how can I spoil your private affairs."

Michael stopped laughing, turned his mouth slightly, and said, "Okay, I'm not kidding you anymore. The man you met is my friend. His real name is the same as Jehovah, and we don't even know it. He never told me, but I heard that the Lord said on the first day, 'Let there be light'. At that time, he came out with the light, and our Lord saw him with great joy and called him Lucifer. The slang meaning is "bringing light".

Then I remembered that God wanted him to go down and pierce the chaos. Little Light] was created by Lucifer through the grace of God, so the seasons and seasons are completed, and the remaining chaos on the earth is also dissipated.At first, I thought that the names of angels have certain formulas. I thought that Lucifer was not the name of an angel, so I once thought that Lucifer was just another name of God. Now I know that it is another name of an angel. [Note, the names of Angels all end in el. Although the Chinese translations are different, such as Raphael (Raphael) and Michael (Michael), they all end in el.so"

"Lucifer" is obviously not a name, but a title.]

"Anyway, this guy is considered to be a good match with me. It's just that he likes to go to the ground, but I feel that the ground is wild and ignorant, which is meaningless and not as good as here."

I nodded thoughtfully: "I saw him in the Garden of Eden not long ago. He left a kiss on my forehead and said that I will meet him in the future. What does this mean?"

When Michael heard this, his eyes widened, and he was very surprised: "Did you say he kissed you and said such things?"

"That's true." Seeing his appearance, I became a little embarrassed, and continued, "Before he left, he put an olive leaf in my hand. I don't know what it means, and I don't know the angel. came to ask you."

Michael smiled and said, "Maybe he, like me, thinks you're very interesting."

While we were speaking, the angel summoned by the Lord, Uriel, the servant who served God, blew the trumpet, which was the Lord calling us to Him.I was about to go forward, but Michael held my hand and said, "I'll go with you."

The author has something to say: Carefully observe the different reactions of the three angels when Raziel asked Gabriel, Kamel, and Michael, and you can speculate on their attitudes towards Lucifer and the path they chose in the future.The gender issue of Gabriel also needs to be explained: many literary works or online novels tend to portray Gabriel as a woman, but it is not unfounded to write this work as a man.In fact, the narrative tradition of the Bible places women in a lower position than men.Throughout the Bible, the only woman who is directly called by God's name is Hagar, Abraham's handmaid.In the "Bible", there are more male narrative perspectives. In the "New Testament", because of the appearance of the Virgin Mary, this problem has been changed to a certain extent, but in general, the disciples, sages, and virgin Jesus, The images are all masculine.In addition, during the judgment in the Garden of Eden, the curse that women suffered was more severe than that of men, but in fact, Adam and Eve were equally at fault for eating the forbidden fruit.From the expressions of the British royal version of the "Bible" and the Greek Septuagint "Bible", we find that the Chinese Union Version of the "Bible" omits a detail that makes Eve seem to have committed a more serious sin than Adam .Because Eve picked the forbidden fruit, and Eve plucked it for Adam to eat, but in the royal version of the "Bible", when Eve picked the forbidden fruit, there was a complement of "withhim", indicating that when Eve picked the forbidden fruit, Adam was present all the time, he was not just He had already thought about eating what Eve urged him to eat.But when God questioned Adam, Adam put all the responsibility on Eve and said, "Give that woman to me, and I will eat it."If you read the Bible carefully, you will also find that the sentence God told Adam not to eat the forbidden fruit and the sentence Adam told Eve not to eat the forbidden fruit are inconsistent and have different connotations. After receiving wrong information, Adam committed three felonies from the beginning to eating the forbidden fruit.And Eve committed the triple sin by intentionally eating the forbidden fruit, eating the forbidden fruit, and shifting the responsibility to the snake. In theory, the image of women is inferior to that of men, and the image of angels is an angel that began to appear in female form after constant revisions in later literary works. In theory, angels themselves have no gender, but once they appear in front of people in the flesh, The image of angels is often male, which is why this work depicts the physical form of angels as male.
