Chapter Forty-Seven: Four Calamities in a Row, Four Gods in a Row

The lice that filled the land of Egypt did not make Pharaoh Ramses change his mind at all, but they were just lice, and the patience passed.

Although the itching was unbearable all day long, Pharaoh Ramses ignored this matter on any occasion, and it was the complaint of the court ladies, which he also turned a deaf ear to.

This rare male lord in Egyptian history was also helpless, he was the lord of mankind, but he was only a slave of the gods, although he often declared to his subjects that he was the son of the god Amun. But he knew very well that the god Amun would not recognize his son.

The gods were defeated, and what could Ramses do, he could only endure and watch Moses' arrogance. Moses thought he was fighting justly, but in the eyes of Ramesses, the pharaoh, he was showing off his might.

On this day, Moses came again, and Ramses II did not want to see him again, but had to see him.

"Thus saith my lord Jehovah, Let his people go, that they may serve him. But if thou shalt not let the children of Israel go, he shall send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses, and shall be full of swarms of flies upon the houses of the Egyptians, and upon the land where they dwelt. On that day there will be no swarms of flies in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites dwell, so that you may know that God cares for his people. Those who believe in God and those who do not believe in God will be distinguished by this miracle, and tomorrow will be the time to witness the miracle. ”

When Aaron had said this, he was taken away by Moses, leaving only the Pharaoh's ministers and priests of Egypt staring at each other and saying nothing.

Soon after, a buzzing noise was heard, and swarms of flies infected, like dark clouds, over the land of Egypt.

Without anyone commanding him, Baalzebub, the god of flies, knew that the plague that Yahweh had brought was against him. He appeared in the skies over Egypt, and the swarms of flies were under his control, and gradually returned to the corners where they were staying.

A giant sword of purple, white, and blue flames struck out into the air and slashed at Baalzebub, who was driving the flies through the air. An angel stood in the void, this was Uriel, the messenger of punishment for Yahweh, and he was the most terrible of all the angels, and he was terrified when he saw it.

"By the command of my lord, slay down the Egyptian god of flies. ”

Uriel didn't say much, he said this from beginning to end, and before he had experienced a fierce battle, Baalzebub, the god representing the fly, was slain by him.

Unlike Raphael, who collected the bodies of the dead and prayed, the angel left without saying a word, leaving only the flies scurrying around the world.

So, Ramses II, who could not be bothered, once again fired empty cannons at Moses, promising to let the Israelites out to serve their gods.

But when the lice and flies were gone, he once again pretended to be deaf and dumb, as if he had no idea what was happening.

Seven days later, Moses took Aaron and set foot again in the royal city of Thebes, announcing to the Egyptians the next miracle of Yahweh.

"Again, my lord spakes, Let his people go, that they may serve him. But if thou wilt not let the children of Israel go, and keep them, the hand of the LORD shall be upon thy livestock, upon horses, and upon asses, and upon camels, and upon herds, and upon flocks, and upon flocks, and upon many plagues. The LORD will distinguish between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt, and no one of the children of Israel will die. ”

The Egyptians did not care, and Pharaoh Ramses did not speak, and let Moses go to the law of Shyawe.

When the livestock began to die, the sacred cow Abyss stepped out, also a beast god, a beast god who had never taken on human form.

When he came out, he did not move, waiting for his adversary, Gabriel the angel of Yahweh.

Gabriel appeared, and a hundred and forty pairs of small wings attached to the large wings, still so delicate and gorgeous, matched with her beautiful and holy countenance.

Unlike her companions, Gabriel's weapon was a delicate axe, and it was this axe that had the power to break the horns of the holy cow Abys, and then smashed his spine with an axe, immobilizing him.

In the end, Gabriel, under the stunned gaze of all the gods, split the sacred cow Abyss in half. All the gods did not expect that this beautiful goddess would be so fierce that she would hack the powerful sacred cow to death in three or two blows.

On top of that, the strange combination of a beautiful goddess and a fierce axe made many gods shake their heads and sigh. What a scene it would have been without the axe beside it.

The Egyptian pharaoh Ramses II, at the behest of the god Amun, ignored the death of livestock in the country, and in his opinion, it was not a big deal that the animals died, that is, they did not eat meat for a while.

"Take handfuls of ashes, and Moses will raise them up to heaven before Pharaoh. And the ashes shall be turned into dust throughout the land of Egypt, and shall become blistering sores upon men. ”

No more greetings to Ramses, Moses went directly to the Egyptian palace and performed another miracle as Yahweh had said, that he would make all the Egyptians suffer from herpes.

After Moses had finished his spell, a god came out of the court and wanted to take Moses' life, but was stopped by Raguil, the angel of Yahweh, or Themis, the righteous lord of Kaos.

The patron goddess of the dust, Tadis, was a deity of mysterious origin, and he was not an Egyptian deity at first, but he followed Amun for hundreds of years, making him an important deity in Egypt. Especially in the vast desert area, he has the widest range of ministers.

This time, Yahweh sent a plague, which directly hit him, using the dust under his control as the pathogen, and causing the Egyptians to replace herpes. If he succeeds, there will be Egyptians who will believe in him.

So, the patron saint of the dust, Tadis, jumped out directly, trying to make Moses, who was walking on behalf of Yahweh on earth, lose his life first.

But Yahweh had been keeping an eye on Moses, and how could he allow him to harm Moses' life. Themis, the Lord of Justice, rose from a pillar of clouds above Moses to protect Moses and go to war with Tadis, the patron god of dust.

It was also a one-sided battle, with many artifacts of Themis, but she slew the Guardian of the Dust Tadith without an eyecover, without a judgment scale, without a bundle of rods, and with a sword of punishment.

Pharaoh Ramses watched the gods of Egypt being slain by the angels of the other side, and they were indignant one by one, but they did not dare to get up. They were worried that this angel, who had a calm face and even a little cold, might give them a sword at random.

It was not until after Themis had left that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Ramses II endured the discomfort caused by the herpes, and when Moses returned the next day, he stiffened his face and refused Moses' request, and he still refused to let the Israelites go.

"This is what the Lord my God says: 'Let my people go, that they may serve me.'" For this time I will bring all the plague upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, that thou mayest know that there is no God like mine under all the earth. If I had stretched out my hand against you and your people with pestilence, you would have been destroyed from the face of the earth. But for the purpose of making thee stand to show thee my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth. Do you exalt yourself against my people, and will not let them go? Now therefore thou shalt send in thy cattle and all that thou hast in thy field: and whosoever shall not bring back his house in the field, whether man or livestock, hail shall fall upon them, and they shall die. ’”

And those of Pharaoh's servants who were afraid of Yahweh's words sent his servants and cattle into their homes, but he who did not take Yah's words to heart left his servants and cattle in the field.

Yahweh spoke directly in Moses' ear and said to Moses, "Stretch out your rod toward heaven, and cause hail to fall upon all the people of Egypt, and on all the livestock, and on every herb of the field." ”

As Moses had spoken, he stretched out his rod to heaven, and Yahweh thundered, hail, and fire. At that time, hail and fire were mixed with a terrible thing, and there has not been such a tragic situation in the land since the establishment of Egypt. And it came to pass in all the land of Egypt that hailstormed all the men and the cattle of the field, and all the herbs, and destroyed all the trees of the field.

This time, Yahweh is aimed at the god of abundance, but the god of abundance is the god of the nine pillars, first Olisses among the nine pillars of the gods, and now he has become the king of the underworld; after Olisses went to the underworld, it was the goddess Hathor who was in charge of this throne, but she did not enter the Egyptian court for the god Amun to drive, and now she is the god of Adros, the lord of the stars.

The god Amun could only send the god Apis, who also took the shape of a bull, with a solar disc and a holy serpent on his head, which also symbolized the gods of fertility and fertility.

After he stood up, he knew that he would not live long, because the gods in front of him were stronger than him, and none of them had a good end.

He also understood that he had fallen into this fate because he was stepping on two boats at the same time, just like the gods before him. The crocodile god obeys both the god Amun and the primordial water, and the frog god is said to have some connection with the great god Ra, and the other gods are also the same, and more or less do not fully obey the words of the god Amun.

As for Apis himself, the ornament on his head shows that although he was a deity of the Egyptian court, he was equally subordinate to the primordial serpent Apepe.

Apis was right, and when Lucifer came to earth, he slew him with a single sword, and then scattered him. From the appearance to the end, but in an instant, not to mention human beings, even the gods may not all see his handsome appearance clearly.

The land of Egypt was full of plagues, but the land of Goshen, where the Israelites dwelt, was free from hail and thunder. Pharaoh Ramses sent for Moses and Aaron and told them again, "This time I have sinned, and the Lord is righteous, and I and my people are evil." The thunder and the hail are enough, so I beseech you, the LORD, to take away the signs, and I will let you go, and keep you no more. ”

Moses said to him, "As soon as I go out of the city, I will lift up my hands and pray to the Lord, that the thunder will cease and there will be no more hail, so that you may know that the power of the Lord is everywhere." As for you and your servants, I know that you are not afraid of the LORD God, but we are not afraid. ”

At that time, the hemp and barley were hit by hailstones and suffered heavy losses, because the barley had already spit out its ears and the flax had blossomed. But the wheat and the coarse wheat were not smitten, because they had not yet grown up. When Moses left Pharaoh and went out of the city, he lifted up his hands and prayed to the LORD, and the thunder and hail ceased, and the rain was no longer poured on the earth.

When Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had stopped, and remembered the account of Amun, he hardened his heart again and did not allow the Israelites to go, as Yahweh had said to Moses.
