Chapter 910 Red Bean Soup

In the eyes of believers, the pope represents the messenger who receives God's will. If his body is controlled by the devil, it can't be worse.

In this improvised room in the Apostolic Palace, Joseph prepared the altar like an acolyte and shepherd boy.

He was thinking wildly while working. Before today, he had never thought that gods and demons were actually one body.

Although he is an exorcist, he rarely goes to the Vatican to manage the secret archives. In the past, the archives were not as strict as they are now, but since 1953, no page in the archives can be taken out, no matter whether it is the original or the

Copied by my own hand.

At that time, there was a papyrus called Tully circulating in the archaeological community. This paper recorded the process of Thutmose III witnessing a UFO 3,500 years ago.

The reason why this papyrus was circulated was that the curator of the Vatican Museum, Alberto Dully, copied it privately and took it out.

Of course Dooley was dismissed, and at the same time the management of the archives became stricter. Each borrower could only apply at the front desk, and could not borrow casually like in an ordinary library. The reading process could not leave the sight of the librarian.

, even the name of the administrator is kept confidential.

The Vatican is one of the smallest countries in the world, but it is full of secrets.

Every Pharaoh hopes that he can be remembered after death, so they built so many magnificent buildings and fought everywhere. So when Moses led 400,000 Israelites out of Egypt, which Pharaoh was ruling Egypt at that time?

Pharaoh had many wives and concubines, and he also had many sons. After his firstborn son died, he would have other sons as heirs. In order to get more sons, he would marry many women. This is also the biggest difference between the East and the West.

The Egyptians worshiped frogs and even regarded them as the goddess of fertility, so they did not dare to kill them.

But among the ten plagues of Egypt, the Lord caused frogs to become a plague in Egypt. There were frogs in the house, in the courtyard, in the field, and even in the pot.

Frogs are covered in mucus, and too many frogs would be disgusting to the clean-loving Egyptians.

Later, the Lord caused all the frogs to die, and the corpses of the frogs emitted a disgusting stench. The idols they once worshiped became like that. How did the Egyptians feel?

There is also the plague of flies. The word fly in Hebrew means an animal such as a beetle. This insect is a symbol of the sun god and is a sacred object like the frog.

In the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark, the Scarabs appear like a black carpet, coming in like a tidal wave.

The beetles may have been like that in the "Plague of Flies", but they did not penetrate into people's skin. Those flies or creatures called beetles defiled and destroyed Egypt's pasture industry. At this time, the Egyptian gods did not protect the Egyptians.

Not everyone is a Job, who remains firm in his faith after losing everything. People are all like this. They often make vows in times of trouble, but when they find peace, they become ungrateful and do not repay their vows. The Jews also made vows after living a good life.

Jehovah forgot and began to sacrifice to other gods. After breaking the covenant, Jehovah sent disasters and caused massacres in Jerusalem. Only Ezekiel and the people marked by the linen man were spared.

The ancient apostles were not as wealthy as the current Holy See, and they did not wear sacrificial garments made of the same material as today.

If something goes wrong, how can we convince those priests to wear linen that is different from the traditional vestments?

Joseph couldn't help being upset and took out his cigarette, lit it with a lighter, and started smoking slowly.

The lingering smoke made him feel trance-like. Sacrificial rituals still existed in Indian reservations. Shamans with oil paint on their bodies and feather masks on their heads would smoke the burning smoke during the sacrificial activities, and comprehend the heaven while puffing out clouds and mist.

s arrangement.

With the decline of the Mayan civilization, the new generation of Indians continued many of the customs of their ancestors and also abandoned the too complicated sacrificial rituals of the past. Tobacco has since stepped down from the altar and become a daily necessities that everyone can consume.

This scene puzzled the European colonists. After accepting the goodwill of the Indians, these "civilized people" choked out the first breath of smoke in their lives. While they shed tears in discomfort, they also felt that they had never experienced anything like this before.

Some are happy and excited.

The Protestants not only abandoned the bishops, but also did not recognize the pope, and believed that everyone could accept God's will because they felt that everyone was equal before God.

But in fact this is not the case. There is a huge gap between the lifestyles of rich people and those without money. Indian reservations are synonymous with poverty, and there is no hope there.

Medical institutions are also very backward. There is only one hospital, and it is still a clinic. Rich people dare to make any unethical attempts in order to extend their lives.

Wherever there are cloned sheep, there are cloned humans. Take out the healthy heart from the chest of the young clone and then place it in your own chest.

There is no need to wait in line for organ donation, and there is no need to worry about rejection, because the DNA of the young clone is exactly the same as his own.

As long as there is customer demand, someone will provide services.

Are clones and original humans equal?

"No smoking here." Just as Joseph was deep in thought, he suddenly heard the voice of Pope John. He was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed in by the nun.

Joseph immediately put out the cigarette.

The aging pope's eyes quickly scanned the room, and finally rested on Joseph.

"God bless you." The Pope raised his hand with the fisherman's ring and said to Joseph.

The young exorcist immediately bent down, took the Pope's hand in his hands, and kissed the ring.

"I heard that the so-called devil is someone who refuses love." The Pope said with some difficulty.

"Yes, Papa."

"Then, as long as we have love in our hearts, we will not be violated by the devil?"

"No." Joseph hesitated and said, "Do you remember Cain and Abel? That was not just because Cain made a wrong choice, but also because he was jealous of God's preference for Abel."

"Violence is a lie. It violates the truth of our faith and the truth of our humanity. Sometimes what people hate is not the physical harm caused by violence, which will heal quickly, but the harm to dignity and self-will."

"I know, Papa, violence is not part of human nature, it comes from nature." Joseph said softly to the Polish Pope, "Typhoons and tsunamis are the violence of nature. They have destroyed cities and civilizations created by humans. However,

People still respect and worship them, naming them wind gods and sea gods, and even offering sacrifices to them."

"You seemed troubled by something just now. Can I know what it was?" the Pope asked.

"About the prophet Moses and the ten plagues of Egypt." Joseph said, "I am wondering which Pharaoh stopped the Israelites from leaving Egypt. At first, he clearly disliked the Israelites for being too prolific and wanted to put all the Israeli boys to death."

"Pharaoh thought he was dealing with Moses, but he didn't know that Moses was the bridge between God and man. He used political methods to deal with God, and regretted it again and again. Moses remembered the grace of the Egyptian princess who raised him, and he was indecisive.

, and in the end I was punished by God.”

"Don't you think he conquered evil with good?" Joseph asked.

"There is peace only where there is love, and kindness will bring peace. I only saw the Israelites leaving Egypt to create conflicts and troubles in order to get rid of the pain of labor, but when they wandered in the wilderness, they despised the lack of water and the desolation everywhere, and wanted to go back.

When we went to the rich land of Egypt, when Egypt was shrouded in darkness, although there was light in the homes of the Israelites, this light did not shine into their hearts. Therefore, I do not think that Exodus is about good over evil. I hope it can give people

Motivation and determination to build a better world...ahem"

The Pope said as he began to cough violently.

"You talk too much, Pope." The nun said worriedly. "The doctor asked you to rest."

"Everyone is a prisoner of the body." After the cough subsided, the Pope smiled helplessly.

"Last question, Papa, do you know why God only kills the head to give birth to a son?" Joseph hurriedly asked before the Pope left.

"What do you think?" the Pope asked.

"I think they were marked, and the Egyptian priests would bless the firstborn."

The Pope pondered for a while and said in a hoarse voice, "The sons of Isaac and Rebekah, Esau and Jacob, were fighting in their mothers' wombs before they were born. They were twins. Esau preceded Jacob.

Each left, so he became his elder brother. The younger Jacob was born right after Esau. Esau was good at hunting. Isaac was more partial to him because he could often eat meat. One day, Jacob drank a bowl of red bean soup.

, asked Esau to give up the right of birthright to him. Esau said, I am going to starve to death, what is the use of this right of birthright, so he agreed. Esau saw clearly the right of birthright and swore to give it to Jacob.

The right of the eldest son is a natural right. No one blesses the first-born animals, but they all have this right. There is a kind of bird, the one that hatches first will push the one that hatches later out of the nest. No one teaches it to do this, but

It is born to know, which is also part of 'nature'. God is difficult for us to understand, but He has set an example for us. All we can do is learn and imitate Him, just like children learn from their parents. Imitation is ours.

One of nature.”

"Thank you."

"It's time for us to rest." The nun interrupted Joseph. "The walking time is over."

The Pope seems to want to move around for a while, but now he is an old man in a wheelchair, what else can he do?

So, surrounded by a group of bodyguards, he reluctantly left this room that he might not be able to use.

What a strange explanation for the Tulis papyri being declared excluded from the Vatican Archives

In the West, red bean soup is used as a metaphor for losing big things because of small things, and losing greater interests for the sake of small immediate interests.
