When Jews come to Israel and become God's chosen people, is it Catholic?" asked Yangmei.

Fan Yang shook his head and said, " No, it's just Judaism, the story of God, which has been circulated in Eurasia for a long time, equivalent to a primitive worship, only believing in God, Genesis, angels, and Noah's Ark, this is ancient Judaism, these are legends, but later from the beginning of the Arab Khan, there are already people, historical figures, so to speak, the Jews mythologized their ancestors, declared themselves to be God's chosen people, not only believed in God, but also believed in the prophet Arabhan, believed in the identity of the chosen son of Isaac, believed in the covenant between Israel and God, and made the Jews God's chosen people, this is ancient Judaism。 ”

Everyone looked thoughtful.

Xiao Lu thought for a while and said, "Is this what you mean? Our descendants of Yan and Huang claim to be the descendants of the dragon, is this also the truth?"

Fan Yang nodded and said: "Yes, that's the truth, it's like Taoism also has schools, they are all in the same lineage, in Taoist culture, they all believe in Pangu opening the sky, Nuwa creating people, and admitting Taishang Sanqing, but in addition to these, there are also some schools that believe in heavenly masters, like Zhang Sanfeng, Wang Chongyang, and when it comes to the worship in the back, there are often real people, and the factions are different." ”

At this time, Fan Yang was young, and when he talked about everything, Sugihara Kyoko was stunned: "How do you know this, you know a lot." ”

Fan Yang smiled, he was still very useful in his heart, what are you kidding, after all, he was also engaged in foreign trade in his previous life, and he didn't understand the customs and culture, how could he do it?

These stories are relatively new to Chinese, but when you go to the Western environment, you naturally know that people are constantly coming to preach the gospel to you, your ears are tired of hearing it, and every day you pray and preach, talk about these things.

I don't want to hear it.

But he said: "These are very simple, they are all stories in the Bible, and you will know them all if you read them once." ”

"You've read the Bible. ”

"It's a kind of culture, and the stories on it are very rich. ”

Yang Mei asked, "What about Jesus?"

"Don't worry, this is a timeline, as mentioned earlier, the migration of the Arabs to Jerusalem was about the 14th century AD, and after the Jews became God's chosen people, they began to reproduce again, Israel, and gave birth to twelve sons. ”

Kyoko Sugihara covered her mouth exaggeratedly: "So many? Aren't they all two sons just now, this time there are 12." ”

Fan Yang said with a smile: "Yes, later these 12 sons entered later, and formed 12 tribes of the Jews, the eighth son is named Jesse, and the son of Jesse is named David, who is a shepherd. ”

Since then, the kingdom of Israel began to grow stronger, King David's son Solomon, after succeeding to the throne, built a temple in Jerusalem, called Solomon's Temple, hundreds of years, the Jews came to Jerusalem, in the 10th century AD, established their own dynasty, built Solomon's Temple, since then, Jerusalem has become a holy place in the hearts of all Jews and believers, a holy city. ”

Yang Mei said: "Then this is Catholicism? Holy land, holy city, believe in God." ”

Fan Yang still shook his head: "How can it be so fast, it is still Judaism, there is another story in between, the eighth son of Israel, Jesse, King David, Solomon, established the dynasty of Israel, but the other branch is not so lucky." ”

"The youngest son of Israel, Joseph, because of the famine in Jerusalem, led his people to Egypt, because of his outstanding talent, he was valued by the Egyptian pharaoh, made him the prime minister, and let Joseph's people settle in Egypt, but after Joseph's death, he replaced Pharaoh and began to oppress the Jews, making them miserable, and they always wanted to flee Egypt, but there was no leader. ”

At this time, a man named Moses firmly believed that the Jews were God's chosen people, so God was bound to have mercy on them, and he stayed alone on the mountain for forty days, and God finally sent down a miracle, telling Moses that the suffering of the tribe was because of the punishment brought by sin, and made a covenant with Moses, and agreed on ten commandments, which were engraved on a stone tablet, so that this is the famous Ten Commandments of Moses, as long as you keep these ten commandments in the future, you will not suffer bad luck, Moses agreed, and God promised to redeem them, and let Moses lead his people to flee Egypt and return to Jerusalem。 ”

Then Moses took the tablet and told Pharaoh of Egypt that God told him to let him go, but Pharaoh would not let him go, so God sent down 10 plagues, and the last plague killed Pharaoh's eldest son, and Pharaoh was frightened and promised to release them, and Moses took the tablets of the Ten Commandments and his own people and went out of Egypt. ”

On the way out, Pharaoh repented and sent troops after them, and when they fled to the Red Sea, the sea blocked their way, and everyone despaired, and God once again sent a miracle to separate the Red Sea, and helped the Jews to escape from the pursuit, and after the people passed, the Red Sea was closed, and the Egyptian pursuers behind were all drowned in the Red Sea. ”

"I've seen all this movie, so that's it. ”

"Well, that's it, Moses became a new generation of prophets, returned to Jerusalem, brought back the Ten Commandments and the Book of Covenants, King Solomon built the Temple, built a Ark of the Covenant, put the stone tablets and the Book of the Covenant in it, and enshrined them in the Temple, and from here, Judaism began to be truly complete, and everyone followed the Ten Commandments, and that Book of the Covenant, the regulations were more detailed, like a law, guiding the rules of life of believers, which were the earliest holy things, and that Book of the Testament, which influenced the entire Arab world later, was slowly sorted out to form the XX Lan。 ”

Yang Mei said: "Then this is Catholicism, and what about later?"

Fan Yang's face was solemn: "This is still Judaism, it is still very early, but then it was fateful, the Israeli dynasty prospered and strengthened for more than 300 years, and Judaism has also been unprecedentedly developed, but the good times did not last long, in the seventh century BC, the Assyrian dynasty of the Tigris River grew, broke through Jerusalem for the first time, occupied the city-state, killed, destroyed, the Jews began to flee, and 12 branches were scattered all over the world. ”

During this period, the Jews began to experience suffering, and after more than a hundred years, the Babylonian dynasty located in the plains of Mesopotamia began to become stronger, and in 597 B.C., it once again broke through and occupied Jerusalem, the king of Israel and a large number of nobles, all of them were taken captive to Babylon, and 9 years later, the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar II, ordered the destruction of the city, the temple was burned, the walls were torn down, and the gold and silver treasures accumulated in the temple for hundreds of years were all robbed, and Israel perished, so a wailing wall and the Temple Mount were handed down in Jerusalem, all of which recounted this period of suffering。 ”

The country was ruined, and the Jews were reduced to slavery, this passage can be imagined. ”

Kyoko Sugihara said, "It's so pitiful. ”

"The country is ruined, and who is not pitiful, but this is only the beginning of bad luck, to borrow a sentence from Gao Xiaosong, every brick in this place is a microcosm of history, the entire European culture for thousands of years. ”

"Who is Gao Xiaosong?" asked Xiao Lu.

Fan Yang smiled awkwardly: "A friend." ”

He continued: "After the destruction of the Temple, the Babylonian dynasty did not last long, and only 50 years later, in 539 B.C., the Persians destroyed the Babylonian dynasty and Jerusalem was occupied by the Persians, but to be honest, the Persians treated the Jews relatively well, allowing the Jews to return to their homeland of Jerusalem, and allowing them to rebuild Solomon's Temple, and so on for another few hundred years. ”

"And what happened later?" asked Yang Mei continued.

Fan Yang spread his hands: "Later, it was not easy, Persia and Greece fought for hundreds of years, you attacked and occupied me, Jerusalem was also robbed by Greece several times, and was recaptured by Persia, these hundreds of years suffered from war, until Rome completely destroyed Greece, in the 1st century BC, it became a Roman province." ”

"What about the Jews?"

"What else, slaves, were exiled all over the world as the Roman Empire expanded, and then, the suffering Jews, the legend of the Messiah, that is, the Messiah, was circulated. ”

Yang Mei clapped her hands and said, "Savior, it's Ji Du's turn, right?"
