crown of thorns

The author has something to say: (~o~)~ I have slept badly these days~ But I am still very happy to have a winter vacation or something.

Lift up your heads, you gates!Portals of eternity, you shall be lifted up!

………………………………………………………——The Bible·Old Testament·Psalms

Taking advantage of the darkness, Ittigars groped his way to the high platform where his father Methuselah was imprisoned.The high tower was originally a tower in the city to watch the enemy's situation. However, Methuselah, the father of Etikas, greatly defeated the surrounding kings and princes, and became the king of the great kingdom on the earth. Because they saw it from afar, the king said, "That is the boundary of King Methuselah, protected by such and such a god, and it will not be defeated." Therefore, the high tower was already abandoned when King Methuselah was born.

King Methuselah expanded his territory all his life, and committed brutal things internally. He thought he could rest easy, because from ancient times to the present, no king has made such outstanding achievements as him.No one at home and abroad dared to resist him, so he took whatever he wanted and searched for treasures and money everywhere.

There is only one thing about King Methuselah that is not out of duty, that is, he loves his first wife, Queen Menehu very much.Menethus had two sons, Lamech the eldest, and Ithikas the second.King Methuselah loved Lamech very much, because he had a strong personality and looked like his father.Lamei is handsome and powerful, and anyone who disagrees with him will find a way to kill him.

King Methuselah thought that this son was a successful king, so he arranged for him to marry the daughter of the king of a powerful neighboring country to consolidate his power.However, King Methuselah ignored his youngest son Etika.

Yitijia looks like his mother, likes to read, treats servants kindly, and speaks kind words in his mouth.King Methuselah liked to raise rare birds and animals. One time, his courtiers fed his swans, but once they fed too much, the swans died.King Methuselah was about to kill the courtier, and Tika interceded for him and said: "The king loses a swan and kills a courtier. Once he loses two things. If he loses a swan, he will not kill the courtier. It’s like losing it.”

Because Ethikas knew that his father was greedy for private property and regarded his courtiers as his own, he deliberately said this, and did not say any righteous words. Those words would definitely not reach the ears of King Methuselah. It can be seen that Ethikas was a coincidence. A tongue-in-cheek.King Methuselah listened to his words and did not kill the courtier.But when his elder brother Lamech heard about it, he said to his father, "My father, can you still gain authority by acting like this for a king? Don't you know that everyone laughs at you for being weak?"

King Methuselah hated Itikas, because he was bewitched by him, and he could not stand up in front of everyone.

Only later, when King Lamech usurped the throne and locked his father, King Methuselah, on a high platform, his heart began to waver.Menehu, whose mother begged him to spare King Methuselah with her death, Lamech laughed and said, "Do kings have parents?"

Methuselah was imprisoned on the high platform until the tenth day, without food, he had hallucinations.He seemed to see his biological father, Mihuyali, and he asked Mihuyali what he did wrong to be punished like this.He offended some god again, and was trapped here in unbearable distress.He once thought that he was safe from both inside and outside, but he didn't know that he was about to die at the hands of his parents and children.

He was going to tell Lamech the legends passed down from generation to generation by his family, but he was imprisoned before he told him.Mihuyali said to him, "I have seen these things about you in the underworld, and I really feel that you have disobeyed the words of your ancestors. The ancestors passed down the word that in your generation, the lineage will be divided into two branches, one is Lamech, and the other is Lamech. Itikas. You must tell Itikas about the flood for forty days in the future. This is to tell you that Itikas is a wise man, but your eldest son Lamech is an unworthy man. How should you know about an unworthy man? These things? Wouldn’t you put your father, Mihuyari, your ancestor Enoch, and your first ancestor Cain into shame by keeping the seeds of unworthy people in the world?”

When Methuselah was drowsy, he heard his father Mehujali's words of rebuke to him, and then he felt too regretful, because he lamented and regretted his past thoughts.Now he was worried that he was about to die, so he decided to write a passage and leave it to Etija.

Lest Lamech might see these words, he wondered where to write them.

He thought that this place was originally a high platform to watch the enemy's situation, but because there was no foreign invasion, it had been abandoned for a long time, but as a reserve, there were a few old spears on it.He took two of them, one as a pen and the other as paper.

He engraved the words on one of the spears, and blessed the spear, saying:

"The days of my life should be 540 and 410 years, and the days of being king are 500 and 400 years, of which [-] years I don't know the name of God. I don't know God, I don't believe in God, and I don't know where God is. I cut off the feet of this land , and maimed the hand of that land. This land and that land were greatly attacked, and they occupied it for [-] years. The first king Mehujali passed on the words of his ancestor Enah, and his ancestor Enoch passed on the words of his ancestor Enoch. Enoch is the sage of my family. , although I don’t know the name of God, but I heard that he saw God. I begged my ancestor Enoch to pass my words to the king in heaven and the Lord on earth in Hades. All the words I write today cannot be read. My son Lamech saw it, and if you read it for the sake of my repentance at the end of my life, tell the true God to save my son Etigar, and to bring him to the place where I died, on this high platform.” [Note: People lived a long time, but the original meaning of the Bible is that people in the line of Cain live very short lives. I only blessed the line of Cain because of Lucifer (the mainstream, the tribes are not counted) , so write their lifespan longer. 】

Methuselah was so hungry and thirsty that he began to drink his own urine.After ten days, he went downstairs and cursed and said, "Lamech! You rebellious and unreasonable thug! I will bring plagues on you in the name of my father Enoch! You will not go to heaven, nor will you die. into the earth, and you will die like this.” At that time, the soldiers who besieged him passed the words to Lamech, and Lamech laughed and said, “Enoch has been dead for many years, so does this mean that there is some trouble for me?”

Ten days later, he was unable to sustain himself anymore, and before he died, he shouted, "Where is my son Idikas, my son Idikas, please hear the voice of your old father, your old father is going to die today!"

Methuselah starved to death on the high platform, and his body was ignored for ten days, because no one knew that he was dead.King Lamech had ordered to see if he was still alive after [-] days, so he did not go to see him until [-] days after he imprisoned his father, King Methuselah.Everyone burned his body. This is the story of the prisoner on the high platform in the past.

Ittikas took advantage of the night to reach the high platform. He thought that the high platform was guarded, but now that the foreign aggression has subsided, the high platform has been abandoned there, not even a symbolic guard.

Yitijia groped up and opened the door of the high platform, there was a foul smell coming from inside, probably because no one cleaned it, he could not see the surrounding affairs clearly through the moonlight, and the place had been deserted for a long time, so there was no As for the candlestick, he planned to move out the items one by one, and take a look at it by the moonlight.

Suddenly, he heard a noise from the side, and hid behind the pillar.

Some people came in, he thought about the situation, these people are definitely not kind.It's either a thief or a thief. In order to hide people's eyes and ears, they ran to this abandoned high platform at night.

"It stinks in here!" said one of them.

"Calm down! This is the only place you can hide now. The soldiers are nearby. If we are discovered, you and I will die."

Ittigars was afraid, and suddenly saw a bundle of old spears behind him, so he quietly took one of them and held it in his hand for emergencies.Because the inside of the high platform was pitch black, the visitors did not find Etija.

It’s just that thieves must have a guilty conscience. At that time, there was a sound of weapons under the high platform, and the two thieves were frightened and wanted to run away. But at that time, it was because Uncle Wang Yitijia escaped from the prison. When the night watchman saw this situation, he hurriedly reported it. King Lamech, King Lamech sent people to search the city, but the two thieves thought they were coming to arrest them, so they were afraid and wanted to run away from the high platform. Besides, he looked at the situation, but under the moonlight, he discovered that there were densely carved small characters on the spear in his hand.

He was greatly surprised by this, and after careful inspection, he saw the words left to him by his father, King Methuselah.

"My son Etigar:

Your father and I are now imprisoned on a high platform, hungry and thirsty, and about to die.Yet I will speak to you before I die.I was a fool before, and I never scrutinized people's voices, and I couldn't discern the words of admonition entrusted to me by the true God.I don't know how to repent. I thought your brother Lamech was a virtuous king, but I didn't know that his vicious heart had reached its limit.Your father and I intended to tell your brother Lamech the words that my family has passed down from generation to generation as kings, but when I wanted to tell him, I was imprisoned by him.Now that I think about it, it must be the true God guiding me to do the right thing. I have been a king for 400 years without listening to the true God’s words to me, and I have been a human being for 500 years without hearing the name of God.Didn't know until today.All these are accidents arranged by fate, but I don't believe it.Now that I repent to you, don’t refuse. When parents repent to their children, don’t think it’s adding sins to you.If you do have the Spirit of the true God in your body, then I repent to the true God.First test my father, King Mehujali, your ancestors, your great-grandfather Enah, your great-great-grandfather, your great-grandfather Enoch, and say that in the future the God of heaven will be very angry and will send down floods for forty days, and every living thing on the earth will die. I bore two sons, one named Lamech and the other Iteqah, who are you.I'm going to tell you this.Hasten you to the high mountains of Kittim, and shut yourself up in a cave, where you will be safe!Do not violate this word, because there is a saint, your true God called "Lux" (LUX) who watched the stars in the mountains for forty days, and prayed for you for forty days. Your clan will move there together, and you will be preserved there.Jabal and Jubal, who were born to Lamech's first wife Adah, and Tubalcain, who were born to his concubine Zilah.The descendants of these people will be the servants of your descendants in the future. The tribe you will take away also includes the tribe of Lamech and his handmaid, his eldest son Azebel, and his tribe. This tribe will serve your tribe forever.You go to Kitti first, and these people will come later.Your father and I are dying now, may your children and grandchildren live forever. "

After reading one sentence, the letters on the spear changed each other and spelled out the next sentence. After reading it, Etija cried loudly on the high platform, and hurriedly took advantage of the night to go to Kitty .

He ran all night, I don't know how many miles he traveled, he just took advantage of the night to travel like this, and at dawn he arrived at the seaside of the Mediterranean Sea.He was greatly surprised and said, "Isn't this the sea? Did I walk three hundred miles in one night?" Etijas knelt down towards the red sun rising from the sea and the bright morning glow and said: "Lord! You are my light and you have brought me here!"

It's just that Kitty is a big island in the sea. He doesn't have a boat, so he doesn't know how to go forward.

Just at this moment, rough waves rose in the sea, and a big whale appeared in front of his eyes with a boat on its back.

The whale was several miles away from the shore, and Etija couldn't swim, so he didn't know what to do.

Lucifer said to me: "Raziel, please go down and fulfill him."

I went down, grabbed Ittiga's hand and said, "Itikas, the saint wants to save you today! You must go to Kitty! I am the hymn singer in front of your saint, and you should sing the hymn you should sing today. "

Ittigars took my hand and sang: "Lord, you are the star of the night, the king of the wise!" He raised his eyes and saw a bright light in the sky shining before his eyes.

"It's the bright morning star reaching out to you!" I shouted to him, "Go to Kitty! Go to Kitty!" Etiga cried as he walked, stepping on the waves with his feet, running towards the boat, and the water flowed step by step. Trust him, he flew to the middle of the sea.

The boat rides the wind, the whale breaks the waves, and Itija looks at the morning star on the top of the sun and prostrates himself in the boat and says, "You are my king!"

In a blink of an eye, he came to the big island in the sea, and under the guidance of the morning star, he walked towards Kitty.When he came to a mountain in Kittim, there was a cave in the mountain, and there was a light shining from it. When he looked into the cave, he saw his wife and children in the cave. Azebel, his nephew, and Huldah, his nephew, came down to him. He worshiped, and his nephews Jabal, Jubal, and Tubal-Cain brought tea to him.
