From the Island Owner to the King

"Mr. Chen, please allow me to open the Ark of the Golden Covenant." At this time, standing next to Chen Rui, wearing a red robe and a red square hat, Cardinal Leo Chifis from the Vatican Catholic Church said. Said to Chen Rui.

Hearing this, Chen Rui did not answer.

Instead, he turned to look at Mark Hughes, and the old Jewish man in a linen black robe and a Jewish round hat standing beside Mark Hughes.

The Jewish old man was called Karaf Davis. He kept his mouth shut and kept silent. He was thin and short, with an ordinary face. He was the kind of person who was easily overlooked when standing in a crowd. However, no one of the dozen or so people present knew ignore him.

Although Chen Rui didn't know the identity of Karaf Davis.

But he knew that his identity was not simple, very not simple.

It can be seen that Mark Hughes has always been in awe of Karaf Davis.

Mark Hughes stood beside Karaf Davis, intentionally trailing him by half a pace.

Mark Hughes turned sideways and kept talking to Karaf Davis. Karaf Davis was expressionless, didn't say a word, and sometimes just nodded slightly.

It is conceivable that Karaf Davis has a very high status among Jews in the United States if a well-known American tech billionaire who is worth more than one billion dollars maintains such an attitude towards him.

Chen Rui had checked the information about the Ark of the Golden Covenant before.

The Ark of the Covenant is a sacred object of the Israelites, which symbolizes the presence of the Lord. God’s holiness is not allowed in the slightest. According to the Mosaic Law, only the priests can carry the Ark of the Covenant, but no one is allowed to touch it. Touch the Ark of the Covenant.

According to the book of Samuel (2) in the Bible, Soame 6.6, when he arrived at the threshing floor of Nagan, because the ox stumbled, Uzzah stretched out his hand to support the ark of God. Uzzah violated God's law while transporting the Ark, touching the Ark without authorization and was executed.

Although, the Ark of the Covenant was obtained by Chen Rui and belonged to Chen Rui. He can do whatever he wants, but Chen Rui will not violate the taboos of the Jews and allow others to touch the Ark of the Covenant in front of the Jews to make trouble for himself.

Do you want to open the Ark of the Golden Covenant? It's up to the Jews to decide.

It's a tough decision for both Mark Hughes and Karaf.

If you choose to open the Ark of the Golden Covenant, this not only violates the Mosaic Law,

It also violated the beliefs in their hearts, blasphemed the holiness of God in their hearts, and made their hearts uneasy.

If you do not choose to open the golden ark, do not touch the golden ark, you can only see the outside of the ark with the naked eye, and the gold foil that wraps the ark. The seat of mercy, the cherubim on the seat of mercy, it's hard to tell if the golden ark is real just by looking at these things.

This makes it difficult for them to choose.

The others present are waiting for their choice, whether to choose to open the Ark of the Golden Covenant.

Everyone was silent and did not speak.

The small room is very quiet, so quiet that you can hear each other's breathing and heartbeats. Due to the narrow space in the small room and the lack of air circulation, the carbon dioxide exhaled by the breathing of a dozen people makes the air in the small room non-turbid. The surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Compared to Karaf Davis, Mark Hughes' expression was obviously a little more relaxed.

He is not qualified to make a decision whether to choose the golden ark or not.

On the other hand, Karaf Davis' expression was more solemn, and his brows were furrowed. It's hard to decide.

About 10 minutes passed.

Karaf Davis suddenly moved, and he had already made a choice in his heart.

Karaf Davis knelt on the ground, facing the direction of the Ark of the Covenant with a respectful expression, and said, "Please forgive me!! I will bring the Ark of the Covenant to the holy city of Jerusalem. Return the Ark of the Covenant to the Temple Tabernacle. So, to atone for my sins, or else, ask the Lord to send down the punishment to wash away my sins."

Karaf Davis stood up and turned to look at Chen Rui.

Chen Rui understood what he meant and nodded.

Karaf Davis came over to the Ark of the Covenant.

Everyone present also followed Karaf Davis and walked to the Ark of the Covenant.

Karaf Davis stood in front of the ark and said respectfully, "Please forgive my sins, the great and supreme God."

Karaf Davis gently opened the Ark of the Covenant.

Everyone present also held their breath, showing expectant expressions, and a dozen pairs of eyes fixed their eyes on a gap that had been opened in the Ark of the Covenant.

The ark was opened.

Expose the contents of the Ark of the Covenant.

In the ark of the covenant stood the plate of the covenant with the ten commandments engraved on it, and a golden jar of manna, and on the golden jar was placed Aaron's rod that had budded.

See three things in the Ark of the Covenant.

Except for Chen Rui, everyone present was very excited.

In particular, Mark Hughes and Karaf Davis couldn't help shedding tears.

"It is indeed the three things recorded in the "Bible", the covenant board, the golden pot that holds the manna, and Aaron's rod that has sprouted, absolutely can't be wrong!!!, otherwise, it will never be so magical, engraved in The words on the covenant board flow between the lines as if there is divine brilliance. Every word on the covenant board reveals an indescribable charm, representing the justice and majesty of the precepts and the awe-inspiring inviolability. The iron hammer struck everyone's hearts, tortured the hearts of everyone present, shocked everyone's hearts, and even showed a repentant expression on some people's faces, the mysterious power on the appointment board. It affects the minds of all people unknowingly and penetrates the depths of people's hearts.

The gold pot with manna, the gold pot is an ordinary gold pot, but the things in the gold pot are not ordinary, manna! !

According to the 16th chapter of Exodus, the manna appeared on the 15th day of the second month after the Jews came out of Egypt, when Moses led the Jews to the wilderness of Sin between Elim and Sinai and there was nothing to eat, so the Jews asked Moses to Complain about starvation.

The Lord God then promised Moses that he would give food to the Jews. At night, the Lord began to send manna to them to eat. From that day on, the Jews ate for 40 years without interruption, usually six days in a row, but only on the Sabbath. Stop landing for one day, you must eat it on the same day, otherwise it will be worms and stink until Joshua leads the Jews across the Jordan River to the land of Canaan and eats the produce of Canaan. Stop descending. (.)
