Chapter 314: , The gospel of revolution

As Fagin said, he found a notebook thick as a large dictionary from a leather bag beside him. This is a simple notebook with a white cover. On the cover is written a line of words "Bible Notes."
A few people gathered around. Fagin turned over the title page, and a line of words came into everyone’s eyes,
I’m not here to make the ground peaceful, but to let swords and soldiers rise on the ground...

Several people know that this is a passage from the "Bible·Matthew". The Father Torres put this sentence here, obviously with profound meaning.
Then I turned back and found a paragraph of text like the preface, the handwriting was very scribble, and I could see that Father Torres was very excited when these words were written.
"When I was praying just now, a spark of thought suddenly appeared. It seemed to be just a flash, but it illuminates me all of a sudden. No, this is not a spark, but in the dark night, a lightning that is enough to separate heaven and earth. , Even more, is a miracle, just like when God said'Let there be light'.
For many years, I studied the "Bible" and the works of those theologians in the monastery, a little bit away from this beautiful world created by God. I gradually became separated from the world, and not only did I not take it seriously, I even thought that the farther away I was from the crowd and the world, the closer I was to God. Looking back now, I am totally dizzy! The stink of self-righteousness and arrogance was all over the floor.
Inspired by the light just now, it suddenly occurred to me that the Bible is not separated from the world. The Bible is what God said, and the world, isn’t it also God’s creation? Just as we want to understand a writer, it is certainly a quick way to read his autobiography, but how can we think that because we have read his autobiography, we no longer need to read his other creations? If a reader, just by reading the autobiography of a certain writer, claims to know everything about that writer, then how arrogant it is. And how can we say that because we read the Bible, we can completely abandon the most important creation of God in the entire world? Therefore, those who thought they could close their eyes to the whole world with just one copy of the Bible in their hands all committed arrogant crimes.
We not only need to read the Bible, but also the world.
So I shared my thoughts with the dean of the monastery. But he told me, ‘young man, your thoughts are dangerous, and one of your feet has entered the realm of heresy. Satan has entered your heart and bewitched you. Hurry up and abandon your untimely ideas and return to orthodoxy! ’
At this time, a sentence from the "Bible" suddenly appeared in my mind, ‘Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you are like whitewashed tombs, beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead bones and all filth. The same is true for you. In front of people, justice appears on the outside, but inside is full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. ’
The word ‘Pharisee’ comes from the old Hebrew language. As we know, it means ‘separation’ and refers to people who have been separated from the world in order to maintain the so-called purity. They lived strictly according to the law of Moses, and thought they were pious, but they were rebuked by Jesus. Why is this? Someone told me that the starting point of the Pharisees was good, to strictly abide by God's law and keep the soul pure, but then they deviated from the right path and became complacent, arrogant and hypocritical.
But did the ‘Pharisees’ really deviate from the right path only later? No, when this sect appeared, the seeds of arrogance and hypocrisy were planted from the time they planned to separate from the world created by God. Because if only separation is in line with God's will, why did come to the world? Couldn't he walk into the desert and never come back? Why did he go to take up the cross for those sinners? Doesn't this just show that God's will is not willing to be separated from the world? Therefore, when the Pharisee's arrow was shot out, it was already deflected. At first it was only slightly deflected, but the more the arrow flies forward, the more it deviates and the more obvious it is.
So I told the dean that I would leave the monastery and walk around the world. When the dean saw that I had ignored his admonitions, he was furious, but this did not stop me from leaving the monastery...
While traveling around France, I noticed that France is increasingly being separated into two worlds. One is the world of the poor. They are hungry and tired, almost living in hell, with no joy or happiness at all. No, not almost living in hell, but is on earth. It is said that Dante once saw the gate of with his own eyes. There is a terrible inscription on it, "Those who come in, give up all hope." Hunger, cold and pain are not the greatest disaster for the poor, but their greatest disaster. That is, they see no hope. Yes, is not far away, it is not under the earth, it is on earth.
What was the first miracle of Jesus? It was at the wedding feast at Cana in Galilee. At that time the owner ran out of wine. There was no alcohol or drink when we got married, so naturally they were poor. Historians said that by the lake of Genizales and nearby places, there were extremely poor people, people who were unimaginably poor.
Then said to the servants, fill the tank with water, and they fill it up to the mouth of the tank. also said that it can now be scooped out and given to the feast supervisor. They sent it. The person in charge of the banquet tasted the water turned into wine, and didn't know where it came from, only the servant who took the water knew. The master of the banquet called the bridegroom. Tell him that people always put good wine first! Wait for the guests to drink enough before putting it on last time. You kept the good wine till now.
At that time, the time of had not yet arrived. But he did this miracle ahead of time. Why? Isn't it because of the love of God. Whoever loves others must love their joy. This is the meaning of the first miracle that came to this world and it is also the true meaning of Jesus' salvation to bring joy to more people. This is the real salvation.
The other world is the world of nobles and priests. Extravagant and licentious, they rely on the poor, living a life of sin like Sodom and Gomorrah.
Then I saw that God's salvation and punishment is revolution.
Revolution is salvation, salvation for those who are trapped in hell. Just like when was always with the poorest people. I realize that the history of the poor has mysterious and spiritual connotations. The voice of the poor in our time is the voice of God that Moses heard in the burning bush. The poor entered the stage of history, declaring that poverty is not God’s will, but human will. It is the consequence of an oppressive social structure that should be changed, can be changed, and that the poor themselves are beginning to change. And this is liberation, or in other words, salvation.
The revolution is also a punishment. Those who have turned their backs on the masses, trampled those who should be brothers and sisters under their feet, killed them, ate their flesh, and drank their blood. In this revolution, they were punished by God. , Just as before, God stretched out His hand to strike Sodom and Gomorrah.
I gradually understood the meaning of revolution. So I thought of this sentence in the "Bible"
‘I see a new heaven and a new earth, because the previous sky and the previous land have passed, and the sea no longer exists. This is the sentence in the "Revelation" that describes the new world after the end of the world. I never understood it before. But at this time, I finally understood what God meant. The revolution is full of pain, just like the doomsday depicted in "Revelation", but this is only the doomsday of the old world. The evil world of the old world will surely be smashed to pieces by the hammer of revolution, and after the revolution, a whole new world will be revealed before us.
In this world, the sky and the earth are new, and the sea of ​​classes that separates people and separates them will no longer exist.
‘I also saw the holy city of New Jerusalem, descending from God, from the sky, already prepared, like a bride neatly decorated for her husband. ''I heard a loud voice coming out of the throne and saying, "Behold, God's tent is on earth. He will live with people, and they will be his people; God himself will be with them and be their God." '
Yes~EbookFREE.me~Heaven, the real heaven, is not in the illusory sky, it is in the world. Don't waste your energy to find God's curtain in the sky. God's curtain is not in the sky, but in the world. As long as we destroy the old world in the revolution, heaven will appear in the world, and God will live with us. At that time, ‘God will wipe away all their tears, there will be no more death, no more sorrow, cry, pain, because the previous things are over. ’My friend, heaven is on earth. Revolution is the only way for heaven to come, and revolution is salvation! "
"No wonder said,'It's harder for a rich man to get into heaven than a camel to go through the eye of a needle.' No wonder that in the earliest days, when was still there, those saints who followed him gave up all their personal possessions. No wonder Those Romans, those Jews, they will kill Jesus." The butcher said.
"But is unkillable. After three days, he was resurrected. Because the revolution is also unkillable. As long as there are people in the world who need salvation, the revolution will continue to resurrect. This is the meaning of the resurrection of Jesus. It’s the real gospel.
Fei Jin said,
I think, if is alive today, when this new century has just come, he must be a revolutionary fighter. A person who spreads the gospel of revolution in the new century, and Fighters for it!"
"Amen!" everyone said together.
