preface

The civilization of ancient Egypt once arrived in the vast land,

Busy Alexandria is home to ships from all over the world. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The light of the pyramid shines on the world for a long time,

The mighty banks of the Sphinx and the rushing waters of the Nile record,

Those who were once glorious,

A thousand years later,

A new civilization is gradually emerging,

In Babylon and Nineveh huge empires have been formed.

in the vast Nile Valley;

in the Tigris River Basin;

in the Euphrates River Basin;

Everywhere is full of life,

Busy crowds build the foundations of the empire.

The tide rises and falls, the sun shines in the sky,

The sea breeze brings wisps of coolness.

Set sail, the waves ripple in the eyes,

Civilization is blown to every corner of the world.

At this busy time,

One far from the sea,

A small tribe living in the desert,

Determined to leave the homeland where generations have lived,

All the way north,

Go and find a more livable, fertile land.

Who are the wanderers?

They were the forerunners of the Jewish nation,

A great group of explorers.

Soon a new prophet was born,

They are the greatest and most merciful teachers of mankind.

They prophesied: an unfortunate fate will fall from heaven,

This strange people knew nothing about it.

They don't know where they come from,

I don't know where I'm going to stay,

Everything can only be guided by God.

The history of mankind is a journey of arduous trekking,

The wind turns the pages of the book to record the vicissitudes of the past.

There are some people who have stepped onto the stage of history,

There will be some who will fade away,

Obscurity ever since.

The misery of displacement and the flames of war,

It is destined to make the world full of disasters.

Mountains and rivers, the scenic Persian Gulf,

Two great rivers flow,

This is the place of happiness that everyone yearns for.

The green shade shades the scorching heat of the desert,

At the same time, it blocked the merciless wind and sand,

The cold wind of the north cannot blow the mountains,

You can't erode the land in front of you.

The sweet waters of the river make everything prosperous,

The people on both sides of the great river lived a comfortable and comfortable life.

mountain dwellers of the North;

desert dwellers of the South,

are trying to find a place to live here.

Mass migrations led to fights with each other,

After the battle, the old civilization was in ruins,

A new civilization rises in the rising sun.

The magnificent cities of Babylon and Nineveh are emerging,

For more than 4,000 years, it has been regarded as a paradise of happiness on earth,

Everyone is envious of this fertile land.

Babylon and Assyria were neighbors of mighty Egypt,

The hard work of countless farmers, the sweat irrigating the land,

It has created a brilliant civilization that is admired by the world.

Sandwiched in the middle is a narrow strip of land,

That area is known today as Syria,

It has been a busy trading day for many years, and there are a lot of transactions every day.

Many of the items come from the distant valley of the two rivers,

There are likewise many more items from ancient Egypt.

A large number of caravans pass through this area every day.

The low hills and open mountain roads cover each other,

The vegetation is sparse and the land is barren.

The blue sky, the white clouds floating,

Occasionally, a few birds will pass by.

Olive tree branches and leaves,

Standing alone on the other side of the hill,

A faint breeze blows gently,

The face of gazing at the world in an instant.

The south is the silent Palestinian wasteland,

A few small lakes and the quietly flowing streams,

Patches of bare rocks like lonely people,

A lifetime of loneliness has gone through a short period of youth.

Ancient civilizations,

Connecting the four directions through the roads,

The land through which the caravan passed,

Tribes migrating in the desert gradually gathered.

They were of the Semitic tribe and had a common language,

Believing in the same god but not avoiding fighting with each other,

Plundering each other spreads hatred.

Here violence and the sword become the supreme authority,

People have lost their first patience and love.

The history of mankind is full of blood and tears,

Victory is always plundering without scruples.

Nor can the Jews avoid the arrangement of fate,

They wandered for centuries.

Legend has it that the Jews came from the Persian Gulf,

A place called your,

But it can also come from the heart of the Arabian desert,

They left the desert,

Came to the fertile plains of Western Asia.

Wandering all the time,

The heart longs for a piece,

A land of their own.

Through the desert of Mount Sinai,

Entered Egypt.

and departed from Egypt,

All the way through the arduous journey,

came to Palestine,

built their own country,

Until it was conquered by King Alexander of Macedon.

Painful times,

Displacement in the midst of mourning,

Ruled by Rome for many years,

Looking forward to the appearance of King David.

Distant memories have blurred,

What remains in the wind is the adventure of the past.

In a long wandering life,

Walking through Egypt, Canaan, and Babylon,

Walk across the Nile, the Valley of Palestine, and the banks of the Euphrates.

The Bible was born in the midst of suffering,

Written on hides and grass coins in Jewish temples.

The indefatigable countenance of the pious elder,

So clear, with vicissitudes of life,

Record the love and hardship of life.

In the 8th century BC,

Jewish settlement in Palestine,

The biblical record began to grow in abundance.

From the 3rd century BC to the 1st century BC,

The Bible was translated into Greek,

Spread to distant Europe,

And then spread to every corner of the world.

Under Roman rule,

The Jews took up their swords one after another,

Rebel against brutal tyranny.

A new round of revolt,

In the hearts of the people rise,

ended the fate of persecution,

A new dawn of Christianity was ushered in.

After Jesus' death,

Exactly 700 years have passed,

Having gone through countless religious councils,

The New Testament was gradually settled.

Greek characters are translated into many languages,

The doctrine of charity and forgiveness,

Relying on a strong faith that has survived to this day......
