crown of thorns

The sacrifice God desires is a broken spirit.O God, you will not despise a broken and contrite heart.

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was Lucifer.

His eyes were full of love, and he gently stroked my forehead.

"Rachel, you're awake."

It is always such a gentle voice, which makes people feel warm but also cold.I suddenly felt that he was so lonely.same as me.

"Lucifer, are you lonely?"

Lucifer was taken aback suddenly: "Why do you ask such a question?"

"Because I think you're lonely."

Lucifer suddenly buried his head in my chest: "Yes, I am very lonely. I have been to grasslands, deserts, lakes as vast as the sea, and bottomless caves. I am there , looking at the sky alone, the sky is so gorgeous, whether it is day or night. The soft and smooth clouds and the brilliant and dazzling stars. I have seen all this alone, countless springs and autumns."

"You have no lovable people."

"What is love?" Lucifer suddenly held my hand, "Raziel, can you teach me?"

As soon as I stood up, I found that I was lying in Michael's arms. Michael's eyes were slightly closed, and his breathing was steady.I thought he was asleep and was curious, but in a blink of an eye, Lucifer was gone, and it was Michael who was holding my hand.Michael suddenly opened his eyes and said to me, "You miss Lucifer more than me."

"I..." I wanted to say something, but couldn't say it, "I'm sorry..."

"Idiot, I'm sorry for what you said to me." Michael smiled at me as always. Unlike just now, I suddenly felt that my whole heart was filled with warmth, but the more I was like this, the more worried I became.

"Michael, I'm afraid I love you more than other angels..."

Michael looked at me, didn't speak, but stroked my hair with his hands, and leaned forward to kiss me.

I admit that I had many delusions of waking up while I was unconscious.And every time it turned out to be these intricate and absurd things, such as lying in Michael's arms, being held by Lucifer and so on.

If they knew about my dream, they might laugh at me again.I wanted to go back to rest in the embrace of the Lord, but I never saw the face of the Lord. I just stopped between these two angels, dreaming back and forth.

I feel that I am extremely shameless. As an angel, my love should never increase or decrease, and it is the same for other angels.Loving each other is not beyond duty, but I never dreamed of the Lord when I was dreaming. How long can an angel like me enjoy grace in the eyes of the Lord?

However, some boxes, once opened, cannot be closed again, and some feelings, once started, may be difficult to end.

This time, I really woke up, no dream, no Lucifer, and no Michael.Only Raphael's face that never changed: "You're awake." I looked around, surrounded by green trees and gurgling clear water, I'm afraid this is the Garden of Eden, where Raphael resides.Rafael was concocting various medicines on the table and didn't look at me directly.

"Where's Michael?"

Raphael suddenly turned around, and I saw his face change slightly, and he said to me seriously: "Raziel, I don't know how long you can stay here."

I was a little surprised, but I seemed to know the reason: "Did I make a mistake while I was unconscious?"

"God has come to see you."

"What have I done to God."

"The name God saw on your lips was Michael."

I know, God must have known.I think I shall soon be summoned by Raguel and brought to Carmel.Kamel will lead me to the lake of fire, I will be burned, my spirit will be trapped in the fire of cleansing my sins, and I will never be reborn forever.

"However, before that, you'd better meet God first."

At this time, Uriel, the angel summoned by the Secretary, came. Although Uriel was also an angel with a blank face, this time, I saw a trace of sadness in his eyes: "Raziel, the Lord has summoned you."

God must have known that I had woken up, so he summoned me immediately.

I quietly adjusted my clothes, and asked Raphael: "Your Highness, is my face contaminated with uncleanness, and is my body clean as before?" Raphael sighed and said, "Everything is fine with you, I have completely healed You're all right. It's just that you have a scar on your chest that will take a while to go away."

With tears streaming down my face, I bowed my head and kissed Raphael's feet, and said, "Thank you." Raphael took a deep breath and said, "Go away."

I did not expect that the Lord was in the Garden of Eden. He was still at the estuary of the Pison River leading to the outside of the garden, quietly watching the Adam family in the distance alone.I went up and worshiped God three times.

When God opened his mouth, he said, "Raziel, someone in Adam's family has died."

"Please tell me, Lord, who is that?"

"Abel, the second son of Adam. His brother killed him."

Adam's second son?I remember that when I was injured, Adam had just given birth to his eldest son. If the eldest son can kill the second son, I don’t know how to calculate the time. Could it be that I have been in a coma for more than ten years or even 20 years?

God said again: "You don't have to worry about this. How long you will live on this earth and how long this time will be is up to me. I let Cain wander forever. Cain was afraid that someone would kill him, so I put a mark on him, Cain was recompensed, and the one who killed Cain was recompensed sevenfold, what do you think of this?"

"There is nothing wrong with what the Lord has done." But in my heart, I recalled that Lucifer blessed Cain that day, and said the same thing.

"Raziel, there are many peoples in this world, and I rose up in every place and created man."

"This is Jehovah's great favor to people." I said in awe.

"But I'm only interested in Adam's family. From his descendants, there will be a Messiah."

Messiah?I remember Lucifer mentioning this word when he blessed Cain.

"This Messiah will come out of the house of Adam's youngest son. I will give birth to Eve again. The child is called Seth. Raziel, go down and deliver the baby."

After hearing this, I earnestly said to the Lord: "Lord, I have such a low status, how can I deliver that noble son alone."

God said, "Who told you that you are inferior? This time, I allow you and Michael to go with you, just the two of you."

Immediately, I was terrified and terrified, and I knelt down and said, "Lord!"

God said, "Raziel, Michael is the commander of the army of the kingdom of heaven. This is a decree. Don't you know it? What are you afraid of?"

My eyes were clouded and my heart was sad, but I dared not speak.

"Raziel, do you love man more than your Lord?"

With tears in my eyes I said, "Though it is true that my heart loves one more than all, it will never love my Lord more than I do."

God stretched out his hand to lift me up and said, "Raziel, what do you have to be afraid of?" He embraced me and said, "Go with him, Seth is about to be born."

Am I lying or the truth?Maybe I can't tell the difference myself.How did I fall in love with Michael?I also had no idea, no matter what, now that I have not been punished by God, I feel lucky and joyful in my heart.I want to see Michael's face, no matter what.I thought so.

Adam’s family experienced a tragedy, but I didn’t know that when I looked at Cain, he was already in his 20s. I’m afraid that more than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye on the earth, no matter how long it is in the kingdom of heaven.Because the hand of Jehovah God is mighty, if He needs it, the time of the kingdom of heaven and the earth can be different, whether it is faster or slower, it is determined by Jehovah.

When I arrived at Adam's house, I saw Eve giving birth again. I just waited around, but Michael was nowhere to be seen, and Eve had already given birth.I cleaned the child, washed his body, sang carols and blessed him, preached the word of the Lord, and blessed him, saying that his descendants would produce a Messiah.I also performed sacrifices with Adam, and I said to Adam, "God will not let you lose any more children." Adam worshiped God and praised God's grace.

It's just that after all this was over, Michael didn't show up either.I was anxious in my heart, so I hurried back to the kingdom of heaven, and when I heard the noise in the sky, I found out that Van Kil had been pierced through the ribs by two silver chains, and was dragged out of the kingdom of heaven.I could not help being amazed when I saw this on the seventh ladder to heaven.

Raguel’s guardian color is still so majestic. He is condescending and reads God’s judgment on him: “Vankyr, who made a mistake out of jealousy and murdered God’s beloved sons Michael and Rachel, the Lord has pointed to Give it to me, you will wash your sins in the lake of fire, and you will never come before God again. Unless Raziel forgives you, you will not be able to enter the kingdom of heaven again. You are no longer a lion in the kingdom of heaven, God’s vehicle, servant, you Must be the basest of bases. Amen."

When I was in a daze, I suddenly found Lucifer standing beside me.

I earnestly asked him: "Your Highness, what serious crime did Van Kil commit to go to the lake of fire without admonishment?"

Lucifer's expression remained calm and calm: "He assassinated Michael and hurt you, isn't that a felony?"

"This should not be what he wants to do." I said with a serious face.

"How do you know?" Lucifer was still as gentle as ever.

"I think he is rude and arrogant, but he will never do such a thing. Just think, what if he really killed Michael? He must also be punished. Besides, with his sword, I can't even kill me." , How could Michael be killed? Isn’t there something strange about this? Can’t the angels carefully examine each other’s sins? Even if they can’t examine carefully, can’t they act tolerantly? I ask for him to repent Opportunity."

"Raziel." Kamel, who was punished by the angel Lisi, waved his silver-gray wings and flew towards me. He is notoriously hard-hearted, but I always feel that he is not actually hard-hearted. Angel, he warned me, "You are too merciful to be merciful to sinners?"

"I'm the one to be damned." I shed tears silently, and I remembered the absurdity of my admiration for Michael, "I have no ability, but I have a lot of hearts that shouldn't be born."

Kamel looked at me like this, and his majestic and rough face immediately eased a lot: "Raziel, you are not only staying among the angels, but also your mother-in-law and mother are number one. Are you saying that you love Michael? ?”

I looked at him with tears in my eyes: "How do you know?"

"You fellow, all our superior angels know about this. Do you think God alone visited you? We were all there! We all heard you say that. If God wanted you to die, He would not let you die. Phil saved you. I asked God if he wanted to throw you into the lake of fire, but He shook his head and turned away. Didn’t God already tacitly allow you to be together?”

After hearing this, I felt a sense of relief.But something always feels wrong.

Lucifer suddenly shouted to Van Kil: "Van Kil, there is a ewe and a ram by the river. The ewe and the ram are fighting each other. The ewe is no match, but the victor will certainly not be strong. It must die. Don't you know that a man who wears a crown as king is better than one who wears thorns?"

Van Keel was in great pain, and seemed unable to listen to the words.

I suddenly remembered God’s judgment on him, so I ran to Van Keel, who grabbed my hand and said, “Raziel, save me. It’s really...it’s not me…that did it , I... don't know... anything... anything." Seeing him in pain, I felt that this matter was even more strange.

Although I know that because of his great strength, I am afraid he is dissatisfied with Michael as the commander of the army, but even if he is really jealous of Michael, he will not make such a bad move.It was a sword that couldn't kill Michael, but it would kill him.Even if Michael died, wouldn't he be able to escape?

I turned to Guardian Raguel and said, "God said, as long as I forgive him, can he stay in heaven?"

Raguel looked at me and said, "That's true."

"Then I forgive him."

As soon as these words came out, all the angels erupted, "This sinner has to be forgiven!" "This sinner has to be forgiven!" I heard them say this one after another.

Van Keel knelt down to me, kissed my toes, and burst into tears.

Lucifer shouted to Raguel: "Let him go."

After Raguel heard this, he waved his hand, and the silver chain was withdrawn from his body, but because he wanted to get out of his body again, Van Kil passed out from the pain.

Lucifer came over to me and said, "Raziel, who do you think might have done this?"

I shook my head: "I don't know, but I don't think it's Vankill."

"Is it really okay for you to trust him like this?" Although Lucifer was asking me, I think his tone was very certain.

"He did disrespect me before, and he hurt me this time, but these things can't be concluded casually, His Royal Highness Lucifer should think so."

"God thinks so too, and both He and I know that you will forgive Van Keel. However, if this matter is not done by Van Keel, then I am afraid that all of us will be involved in a bigger We're in trouble."

Although I don't understand what His Royal Highness Lucifer means, but seeing his never-before-seen worried expression, I think something big will happen soon.
