The so-called prosperous age generally means that the country is prosperous and the people are strong, and everyone is full of hope for life. The Egyptian dynasty under the rule of Ramses II was undoubtedly such a prosperous age.
After the successful peace negotiations with the Hittites, the Egyptian dynasty took back the land they had occupied and further developed to include the surrounding territories ruled by several small gods.
It can be said that the Egyptians at this time were full of pride in their own kingdom and even the divine realm. When people from other divine realms came again, they were no longer helpless as before, but welcomed them.
For hundreds of years, due to the constant internal strife and foreign enemies in Egypt, gods or humans from all the divine realms like to come to this divine realm that is almost undefended and cannot be defended.
Faced with the unscrupulous behavior of these intruders, the Egyptian gods and Egyptians were unable to resist. Looking at their arrogance, they felt sad, angry and helpless. But things are different now. The Egyptian Divine Court has been established, the light of God Amun illuminates the heaven and earth, and the foreign gods are honest. When the Egyptians faced foreigners, they no longer kept their humility as before, and their heads were raised higher than before.
But on the land of Egypt, there is another type of people who live in the same country as the native Egyptians and even fought alongside the Egyptians. But all the changes that the Egyptians enjoyed were not due to them.
They still live at the bottom of Egypt, doing the most menial work, suffering endless humiliation, and their lives are often threatened. They are the Hebrews. Hundreds of years ago, thanks to the work of Joseph, they were able to live in Egypt. Settled Hebrews.
Firstly, they did not believe in the God of Egypt, and secondly, their living habits were always incompatible with the Egyptians. In addition, they reproduced much faster than Egypt. The terrifying population growth made the Egyptians feel fear.
Therefore, Egypt regarded them as enemies and restricted their occupations, the areas where they lived, and even their fertility. The Hebrews were wailing in pain on the land of Egypt. Whether it was during Egypt's chaos or after Egypt's rise, their situation did not improve at all.
When the Hebrews lived in Goshen, both men and women had to endure severe hard labor before they were minors, and it was extremely difficult to get food and clothing.
Especially after the agreement between Egypt and the Hittites was made, the lives of other people in Egypt were far better than before, but the situation of the Hebrews became increasingly miserable. The improvement of Egyptians' living standards will inevitably mean that service members need to pay a greater price to meet their growing needs.
Even today's Pharaoh Ramesses II has repeatedly declared to all Egyptians in public: "Egypt is the Egypt of the Egyptians. Anyone who believes in other gods and comes from other places cannot share the gifts of Egypt's heaven and earth." .”
His words were actually directed at the Hebrews, because among all the foreign humans who came to Egypt, the Hebrews were the most numerous, and the Hebrews were never willing to bow to the Egyptian gods. He has never shown his holiness, so he is the most suppressed.
These words of Ramesses II once again set off the Egyptians' persecution of the Hebrews. They extended the time for the Hebrews to do hard labor and halved their rewards. And if the Hebrews dared to stand up and resist, they would have to face the Egyptian Pharaoh's army that had fought with the Hittites.
The Hebrews, who originally had a population of more than 2.5 million, now have less than 2 million left, and they are still declining at an alarming rate.
The Hebrews saw more and more suffering. Many people died of fatigue, many died of starvation, and many more were mercilessly killed by the army. Before midnight, the Hebrews, who had suffered so much suffering and torture, returned home. The first thing they did after purifying themselves was to pray to God.
"Great God, please send a miracle to help your people."
"Lord, your people can no longer support themselves. What should we do?"
······
The prayers of the Hebrews continued to flow from their hearts to the other end of their hearts, where the kind-hearted God Yahweh sat.
The beautiful Garden of Eden, this is the kingdom of God of Yahweh and the place that all his believers yearn for most. According to legend, Yahweh created Adam and then Eve in this kingdom of God.
At the very beginning, Yahweh just wanted them to live happily and peacefully in the Garden of Eden like his angels. But because Satan, who pretended to take refuge in his subordinates at that time, used the forbidden fruit representing lust to seduce Adam and Eve, so that they no longer had the pure and pious heart they had before, so they were sent to the world by Yahweh.
It was also at that time that Satan stood up fearlessly and declared that he would be the enemy of Yahweh. Yahweh wanted to build a paradise above the kingdom of gods, so he would build a hell below the underworld.
Those who go to heaven can gain happiness, beauty, and everything good people want in exchange for it, while those who go to hell can gain freedom, and it is unbridled freedom.
In heaven, everything can be asked for and taken, but in hell, it is up to others to ask for it. Satan once said bluntly that if the people in hell wanted to kill him for the sake of peace of mind, he would also welcome it. Of course, the premise is that he has such ability.
In Yahweh's Garden of Eden, apart from him, there was originally another ruler, Satan. However, Satan rebelled long ago, so the position of deputy king of the kingdom of heaven has always been vacant.
On this day, Yahweh's Garden of Eden finally welcomed its second deputy king of heaven, Baal, the lord of the Semitic pantheon in the Babylonian realm.
Baal is also a sun god. Baal is also in charge of thunder and lightning, agriculture, animal husbandry, and reproduction. The Semitic pantheon he led also once flourished in the Babylonian divine domain.
But after the rise of the god Lord Marduk, the Semitic, Sumerian, and Akkadian gods were all led by Marduk to lead the Triad of the Universe, the Triad of Stars, and many Hades. Together with the main god of the elves, they swept across and drove them out of the Babylonian domain.
God Baal was undoubtedly a loser in the Babylonian realm. Even when he was defeated and escaped from Babylon, his most beloved wife, who was also his sister, died trying to save him.
After abandoning himself for hundreds of years, Baal was found by Yahweh and told him that God's power was limited, but he could continue to grow. As long as you have faith in your heart and follow your faith, either he or Yahweh may be able to grow to the point of resurrecting the dead gods in the future.
Baal was moved by Yahweh's demeanor and words, and decided to follow Yahweh, becoming the new deputy king of the kingdom of heaven, and jointly planning for the kingdom of heaven and heaven that were still under construction.
"Michael, you are the guardian of the Garden of Eden and my most loyal comrade-in-arms. I have one thing for you to do."
After Yahweh took Baal back to the Garden of Eden, his brows were furrowed. He heard the cries deep in the hearts of his people, which became more and more intense.
He understood very well that these people must have experienced unbearable pain to cry out in such pain. Finally, he decided to save his suffering people and let his glory begin to shine in the world.
Michael stood up. He had a sunny and handsome appearance, emerald-like wings, and saffron hair like flames. He was full of passion and fighting spirit.
"My God, what can I do for you?"
Yahweh looked at the angel who first followed him in front of him, with a look of relief on his face. At first, Michael was just a small god, but now he has stood at the pinnacle of the main god. If he successfully carves out his own path, he will immediately become the master.
"I heard the lamentation of the Israelites everywhere in the land of Egypt. My heart goes out to them. Their sins are just like my sins. Although we are not as numerous as the gods of Egypt, we cannot see the people continue Suffer. At first, Satan was willing to cooperate with us, but I did not agree with him. My people could not let them choose hell. Therefore, I chose another god. He is the master of the stars, representing the starry sky and truth, and representing the road. and direction. We can go with him in the land of Egypt and help the people evacuate from Egypt.”
"Now I send you to the endless starry sky to find Adros, the Lord of the Stars, and ask him to come and discuss with me the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt."
Michael nodded, bowed to Yahweh and said, "According to the command of my God, I must invite the Lord of the Stars to come to the Garden of Eden."
After Michael took the order and left, standing on the other side, the extremely handsome Lucifer hesitated for a while, and finally expressed the question in his heart: "My God, Satan did not say that after cooperating with us, he will definitely give up his son. People are going to hell."
When Satan came in the past, Lucifer and Michael were on both sides of Yahweh. What Satan said at that time was indeed to help the Israelites get out of Egypt with all their strength, without any conditions attached.
Yahweh smiled and asked Baal, the new deputy king: "What do you think of this problem? Can we cooperate with Satan?"
Baal shook his head: "Although Satan is a god like us, he is also, as he claims, a devil who is very good at deceiving. We cannot trust his words easily."
Speaking of which, Satan and Baal are still old friends. They once worked together to kill Baal's brother, Mutu, the god who was in charge of death and the underworld in the Babylonian realm.
The source of Satan's hell is the land of the underworld that he captured from Mutu. This land of the underworld gave him the confidence to fight against Yahweh.
Yahweh nodded: "Yes, Satan is good at deceiving his God with clever but unrealistic language, but this is not the reason why we do not cooperate with Satan."
After a pause, Yahweh continued: "I will not cooperate with Satan, but I still hope that my people will stay away from him. All power must have the effect of deceiving people. When our people see the power of Satan, we What should we do to stop them from going to hell?"
"You all happen to be here, so you might as well think about the answer to this question. When Michael brings the Lord of the Stars, I want to hear your answers together. When the people see the powerful power, they begin to Hell, how to stop them?”
