Chapter 317: The Fall of God
The etymology of the Seraph, which is also said to be a synthesis of "burning" and "snake". There are only a few angels of this rank www.biquge.info, and of course the most famous is Lucifel, the glorious morning star Lucifer, also known as Lucifel or Rucifel. This famous figure turned out to be an archangel.
The other was Michael, one of the original Seven Angels, who was promoted to the rank of Seraphic for leading the remaining army of angels against a third of the angels led by Lucifer and betrayed because of their dissatisfaction with Christ.
Although the gap between the spirit and Lucifer was too far apart during the war, Michael was gradually defeated, and finally Christ finally defeated Lucifer with the help of God. The defeated Lucifel fell in the chaos for nine mornings and dusks to hell and became Lucifer.
The uppercase letters of the angel's name have been lowercased, and a kind of respect for God has been erased, which means that a Seraphic has fallen and become a fallen angel. Lucifer fell from heaven, passed through the earth, and was banished to hell.
The punishment of Western mythology is much more terrible than the punishment of Eastern culture, after all, what mistake does the Eastern gods commit in the sky, and if they commit a lighter crime, they will be reduced to mortal dust, and they will lose their divine power and become mortals. But the loss of divine power is just a few little immortals who have not cultivated for a long time, and those who have been in the limelight will not have nothing because of temporary frustration.
Marshal Tianpeng, who guarded the Tianhe River in the dignified Heavenly Palace, was beaten into the mortal dust and fell into the pigsty because of his beauty, and he had a pig's head and a pig's brain. Subsequently, he met his true love in Gao Laozhuang and lived a small life with his divine power. Chang'e is gone, but Bajie still has Gao Cuilan.
The curtain general who lit the lamp and waxed the dignified Heavenly Palace was beaten into the dust because he broke the glass cup. He fell into the quicksand river and became a local kappa, swimming and playing shrimp every day, and basking in the sun when he had nothing to do, so he didn't have to serve the gods anymore.
But in the end, after Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing rebuilt in the world and their merits were completed, one became a messenger of the Pure Altar, and the other became an Arhat. In the end, they all became immortals again, but they worked in another place, and the boss changed from the Jade Emperor to the Buddha.
The mistakes made are more serious, and the immortals only have to think about it for thousands of years. It's like the Three Holy Mothers who gave birth to agarwood, who were locked up in Huashan by their brother Erlang God. and Bi Ma Wen, who made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, was crushed under the Wuzhi Mountain for five hundred years after a fight with the Buddha because of open defecation, and only his head could move all over his body.
But they were finally released! The Three Holy Mothers had a filial son, Agarwood, who split Huashan with an axe, and the martial arts people almost lost a place to compete with swords. Wukong was rescued by Tang Seng from the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, subdued demons and eliminated demons all the way, recovered a pig and a kappa to be a junior disciple, and finally became a fighting Buddha.
In short, the punishment of the gods in Eastern mythology does not mean that they go to hell, and the gods mean a beautiful and perfect existence for the ancient people. In traditional culture, perfection is not allowed to be tarnished, even if perfection is wrong, it is only put in the world to reflect on a few lifetimes.
In Eastern mythology, when a god makes a mistake, it is like the mayor of a city outside the no-man's land who embezzled and took bribes, and after breaking the law and committing crimes, he was demoted and transferred to another city to continue to be an official. There is no such serious fall into hell as in Western mythology.
The highest level of angels in Western mythology, the Seraph, made a mistake and could never turn over, which is something that even the gods must be afraid of in Eastern mythology.
If the Seraphs break the law, do they have to sin the same as the common people? What kind of existence are angels?
Another theory says that the Seraphs were only the community of these two archangels: Michael and Gabriel. There are many cases where the higher angels and the lower archangels are confused and subordinate to each other, especially the two classes of Seraphs and Wise Angels. Therefore, it is also said that there should be four Seraphs: Michael, Gabrie, Raphael, and Uriel.
They are also known as the Four Great Sovereigns, which symbolize the four elements of fire, water, wind, and earth.
In addition to these, Xia Dongliang has also heard that the seraph represents the sun and the uliel represents the moon.
"Have you inherited the name of the Seraphim? Moon Angel. Xia Dongliang asked Leng Yue, after all, Leng Yue's appearance now has some similarities with what is recorded in the book.
The seraphim had six wings, and he covered his face with two wings, his feet with two wings, and two with which he flew. As soon as you open your eyes, you will let out a roar like a lion, and send out a red electric light to cross the sky, like a long snake and a long dragon. The Hebrew word for Seraphic Angel is a portmanteau of the words "Healer" and "Most High."
"I have no name for the seraph, no one, and there is no one called seraph among the angels." Leng Yue shook her head.
"Then you must be Uriel, representing the moon and controlling the earth element." Xia Dongliang wanted to know more about Leng Yue, after all, it didn't hurt for the dead to know more things. A dead man will not say anything, no one can know his emotions, and some people may say that a dying person knows more and there is no point in knowing more.
But by the same token, the ignorance of the dying person before death is meaningless. For Xia Dongliang, Leng Yue was still quite happy to chat with him. After this conversation, she will return to her own life, and no one will bother her again.
"Humans. You're still wrong. There are no Seraphims in the world, and there are no four kings, and Uriel is just a guessed name. If there were so many Seraphs in the world, the heavenly world would have regained the leadership of the world and ruled the world again. Leng Yue said.
"It makes sense, after all, the variability in the world is too great, and there is no upper limit or lower limit to the power of the Ganzhi Discipline Law here. The human world is the fresh meat of both hell and heaven, and I was mistaken. Xia Dongliang said.
"Not to mention the people of the outside world, even after experiencing the highly qualified history class in the Naiheqiao School, many people will still misunderstand Seraphim as the name of the Seraph. For example, you, Xia Dongliang, the elm-headed brother who usually only learns, doesn't even know you. Leng Yue said with a smile.
She explained to Xia Dongliang that in fact, Seraphim was only a transliteration of Seraphim, and that in the Bible, the real Seraphim was Gabriel, and Gabriel was the only official supreme angel recorded in the Bible, the Seraph.
"Only the Seraphs can talk to God, that is, God has only two servants, and he personally lays down one of the hells, won't he be alone?" Xia Dongliang asked. He didn't understand the world of God, but if it was him, he would definitely feel lonely.
