Eleven percent of the people in the Western Continent are unbelievers, but even they know what it means to "break the seal of the lamb". 79 free

In the Old Testament, the sacrificial lamb is a type, but the Revelation lamb is the fulfillment of the former, referring to the Savior who came to earth, suffered for the sins of mankind, died and rose again, and returned to heaven - so in the second verse of Book 5 of Revelation, the angel cries out, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and open the seven seals?" There is no one in heaven, on earth, or under the earth that can open it to see it. When John the Baptist wept over it, only the Lamb, with seven horns and seven eyes, could take the scroll from his right hand and open the seven seals on it.

The first four seals uncovered by the Lamb unleashed four knights on white, red, black, and gray horses, each representing conquest, war, hunger, and death. When the Lamb opens the fourth seal, the four horsemen will come into the world with what they represent, bringing calamity to mankind - but all who are the people of Christ will be saved and taken up to heaven by angels, while those who do not believe and sin will be left on the earth - when one seal is opened, the next seal will be opened, and the shorter the interval, and the greater the calamity, the greater the suffering—and when the seventh seal is opened, the sky will become the color of blood, the trees will burn, the rivers will overflow, the stars will fall, and the mountains will move, The angel sounded seven trumpets, and the unbelievers and sinful were destroyed with the earth, while the saved were able to enjoy joy in the kingdom of heaven.

The medieval clergy told the story to the ignorant nobles and lowly freemen in order to obtain their gold and the last bit of food; Twentieth-century families and directors have the same purpose in telling the story to sentimental housewives and rebellious teenagers, but they are not simply intimidating and seducing like their predecessors - in their pen and camera, the Lamb of the Apocalypse, the Seal and the Four Horsemen are given a variety of images and meanings, and some of them are well-known. Many unbelievers or non-believers have read and watched their films, and they will look for more information about these three out of curiosity and a deeper understanding**.

Would the young men of Strong, Jacob, and Stephen not understand this? But in his dreams, the lamb was too ...... A little lively. Nor did he see that it had seven horns and seven eyes, and that it had only stone slabs under its hooves, not scrolls. The most important thing is that in Stefan's mind, the lamb is just a pronoun, how can it be a curly-haired creature with four small hooves and two short horns that can stand on the side of the throne and before the elders? Even if he was not like the supreme man with a glory that no man or an angel could look at, he should at least have a glory and a face superior to that of an angel—and because of this, he did not immediately react to the venerable guide about the changes in his dreams. He even began to suspect that what he had received was not a revelation, but a continuation of one boring and childish fantasy after another, especially for children. That's what he thought. So the very next day, he threw it behind him and hurried into his heavy and noble studies.

The dream never appeared again, and Stefan's heart was more determined, but two days before the Pentecost, he received a phone call from the one who had taken him in. The priest who educated him and guided him to a car accident in which his legs were broken, his pelvis was shattered, and there was broken steel inserted into his spine, and he was so old that no doctor could guarantee that he would be cured.

Stefan rushed back overnight. His benefactor was lying in a hospital bed, breathing faintly, but still audible and able to talk to him, to Stefan's surprise. The priest still remembered the implausible revelation, and he hesitated, but said it truthfully—the bizarre and ridiculous dream, and his thoughts.

The priest's silence terrified him, though the old man did not let him see his disappointment—Stefan returned to the chapel, the priest reserved the room for him, the deacon brought him hot corn soup and salted bread, the priest brought him pillows, blankets and mattresses, sheets—just as he had been when he was Harry, and he was the dirty, hungry, skinny Harry who had nothing but the Bible with a torn cover and the clothes he was wearing— Only now the room wasn't as empty and tall as it had been when he was Harry, and he had grown up.

He could not sleep, and was ready to pray all night for the fatherly old man, but at dawn he came again and again in ignorance to the holy heavenly temple.

In front of the altar, the lamb beat its hooves, but the ground did not crack, and he looked down to see that the ground, which was, or what he thought was white and smooth, was engraved with fine, compact words, which read: "...... And in the city of Lystra sat a man with two weak feet, who was lame by birth, and had never walked. When he heard Paul preach, Paul looked at him with fixed eyes, and when he saw that he had faith and was healed, he cried out, 'Get up and stand with your feet straight!' And the man jumped up and walked. ”

Confused, he wanted to ask, but the temple collapsed and he fell back into the mortal realm.

There was a voice that whipped Stefan, and without telling anyone, he left for the hospital, and the nurse was very surprised when she received the call to visit, and almost refused him, because it was still five o'clock in the morning, which was not the time for the visitation, and finally Stefan's appearance, and the occupation of him and the person being visited, convinced her and the doctor on duty, who first went to see the priest, and found that he was awake and willing to receive his disciples and adopted son.

Stefan clutched the Bible tightly in his hand, the doctors and nurses had left, and only him and the priest were left in the room.

The old man looked at him, as if he already knew what was going to happen, and he neither doubted nor urged.

Stephen opened the Bible, it was very old, the paper was yellow, the corners were frayed, and although its owner had always used it carefully—he didn't even have to look at the page numbers, and Stephen turned to the Acts 14:8-10, and the gray-black letters were so clear on the ivory pages, and had been read and recited countless times by the owner of the Bible, but now, the person holding it could not pronounce a syllable.

Or a voice was speaking to the priest, and when Stefan could not speak, the priest shouted, "I believe, I believe." Bring me to Jesus, the Lord can solve all problems, there is nothing the Lord cannot do! ”

So, it's like the lock that has been removed from the throat. Stefan read the text.

Then, as mentioned in the biography of his peers, the priest was immediately healed, he was on his feet, and he was able to walk with more ease than before the accident. Before dawn, the priest found a trusted friend, a doctor and a devout believer, at his insistence. The priest left the hospital the next day under the pretext of being transferred and returned to his chapel that night.

Except for Stefan, himself, his doctor friends, church priests and deacons. There was no sixth person who could have known about this miracle, and the priest persuaded his friends, priests and friends that it was not expedient to expose this divine manifestation to the eyes of the world at once, not to despise and reject charism. On the contrary, it is a good gratitude and protection - for Stefan. He was so young, his mind was not sound enough, his faith was not strong enough, and he needed the Lord's help to move on—preaching this to others would not help the whole young man in a whirlpool of doubt, ridicule, and worship. Rather, it prematurely obscures or even cuts off the glory that the Lord has descended upon him.

But he told Stefan that if Stefan was willing to preach this miracle to the world, he was willing to stand up and prove it and be examined. What about when the young man was not vain and frivolous? And he knew that Stephen had loved his biological father so much, and if the apparition had been proven to be true, he might have been taken back to Strong Jacob.

"Paul said unto them, Since you have been called, let us behave in a manner worthy of the grace to which we were called." Stefan said. There was no trace of joy on his face: "He has proved to me, and now what can I pay it back?" My Father, my body is still in this world, and my heart is burned in hell. ”

With that, he kissed the priest's hand and returned to the seminary.

Stefan continued his studies at the seminary as if nothing had ever happened, but he began to keep regular vigils, fast, pray, and whip for long periods of time, much to the deep concern and dissuasion of his teachers, who feared that this wonderful student would become disabled or even die because of his over-piety, and Stefan complied with their advice and went for an examination, which turned out to be good, and he insisted on his behavior.

"It's also a job," he said to the teachers, "but it's not for you." ”

In the second year after graduating from the seminary, he returned to the priest's chapel to become a deacon, in the third year he received a new revelation on the feast day of the Immaculate Conception, in the fourth year he left the chapel and traveled to every corner of the Western Continent, he helped many people, gained their gratitude and support, he also hurt some people, their hatred and hatred followed, in the seventh year, he was on the FBI's list of wanted criminals, and in the tenth year, he became a member of the "Agency" list.

In the sixth year after he left the chapel, the priest called the priest and the deacon, told them that he was about to die, received the holy oil, prayed and confessed to God one last time, and then lay on his bed, holding the cross, quietly waiting for the last sleepiness to strike.

For the first 70 years of his life, the priest had always been convinced that he would return to his heavenly home, but now he could no longer say that, although he was still religious, but when he received the favor, he had to repay it in return—the saints of B.C. rewarded him with pain and death, and he and Stefan rewarded with silence and sin—an arrangement that they had accepted early on, knowing that they would never again be the bride of Christ, sitting in peace and enjoying themselves in the temple of Christ.
