Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 2880 The Power of Faith

On the famous "Stairway of Repentance" on Mount Sinai, the tripartite joint exploration team led by Ye Tian lined up in a long line, climbing the 3,750-step ladder to the top of the mountain.

The "Stairway of Repentance" was carved out of the stone wall by ancient monks in order to atone for their sins. It is extremely steep, and some places are frightening to watch!

Because of this, the "Stairway of Repentance" has also become a place for believers of the three religions to imitate Moses and hone their will, and it is also considered a challenge to climb the "Stairway of Repentance" to the top of Mount Sinai!

Since it is a very challenging climbing route, it means that it is very difficult and has certain dangers!

The guys who followed Ye Tian and the others only climbed two to three hundred meters and walked less than seven or eight hundred steps, and many of them gave up.

They began to return carefully along the original road, preparing to return to the foot of the mountain, and then rent a camel to climb to the top of Mount Sinai from the camel trail!

This is not bad, some of them have a fear of heights, or people who have never climbed this kind of stairs, their legs are weak, they can't advance or retreat, and they are directly trapped on the mountainside!

For these guys, that's really not working every day, and it's so unbearable!

Compared with them, the situation of the joint exploration team led by Ye Tian is much better.

When forming this exploration team, he gave very clear requirements.

Everyone participating in this joint exploration team must have mountaineering experience, be proficient in rock climbing skills, it would be even better, and must not have acrophobia, and the body must be strong and strong!

In addition, during the climbing process, everyone must take care of each other and cooperate with each other to ensure the safety of teammates and themselves as much as possible. Various safety measures are also in place!

This is the benefit of teamwork. Those guys following the joint exploration team can only fight alone and climb alone. The degree of difficulty and danger is self-evident!

During the climbing process, Isaiah, who was accompanying him, kept introducing to Ye Tian and the others about Mount Sinai, Moses, and the Ten Commandments, as well as their relationship with Solomon's treasure!

His introduction sounded a bit missionary, as if he wanted to influence Ye Tian and make him believe in Judaism!

It's a pity that Ye Tian is a very firm atheist, he never believes in any strange things,

I never think that there are any gods worthy of my belief and worship!

He listened to Isaiah's introduction as a story, and it was interesting!

"According to the "Bible", Moses, the servant of God and the leader of Israel, the saint, led the Israelites who had been enslaved for more than 400 years to escape from Egypt. .

This walk is a full forty years! In the seventh week of Exodus, the Israelites entered the vast Sinai Desert. There was no water, no food, no greenery, and even no roads. The natural conditions were extremely harsh.

The scorching sun above their heads, the hot gravel under their feet, the violent sandstorm in front of them, and the harassing attacks of the Amarines behind them all made the Israelites who had just come from the banks of the Nile feel terrified and terrified all day long.

The thing is so strange, just after being free, some people begin to miss the life of slaves, and they feel that the new life is more terrible than the slave master's whip. Moses looked at the devastated people and couldn't help feeling worried.

He knew that under the rule of a tyrant for a long time, the Israelites had lost their sense of faith and independent self-esteem, and they had not recovered their courage and confidence at this time, so he kept encouraging the people to move forward and not let them go back to be slaves.

It can be said that without Moses’ unyielding perseverance and persistent belief, perhaps these slaves who had just escaped from Egypt after going through all kinds of hardships would turn around in less than a year and become slaves of others again! "

Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but nodded with a smile, and then continued:

"That's right, human nature is like this, especially when there is no hope in sight. What's more, the natural environment of the Sinai Peninsula is too harsh, and it is incomparable with the beautiful scenery of the Nile River!"

Isaiah nodded, then continued:

"But this is not enough. What the Israelis need most at this time is a spiritual leader with high prestige. He must stand up and inspire and inspire all Israelis with great spiritual power, so that everyone can be united.

Moses understood that only God's revelation and protection could comfort those who had lost faith in their destiny and muster their courage. One day in 1250 BC, God finally descended on the heads of the Israelites!

The Jews who had been wandering in the vast desert for decades came to the foot of Mount Sinai through untold hardships, and great events took place here. It was Moses who led them out of Egypt to bring miracles to the Jews. !

On this day, Moses, who was exhausted, left everyone and climbed to the top of Mount Sinai alone. He prayed to the sky and asked God to show his people the right way, but God never showed his face. Moses spent 40 days and nights meditating on the mountain.

In those days, heavy clouds and mists shrouded Mount Sinai; at the same time, the leaderless Israelites below the mountain had mutinied. Some people cursed Moses loudly for bringing them to a desperate situation, and some people were robbing each other of food and water.

Someone made a golden bull to worship, and people were in a mess like ants on a hot pot. The Jewish nation was at stake. At a critical moment, Moses came down from the mountain! When he saw the people in such a mess, he was extremely furious!

His eyes were like lightning, he raised his arms and shouted and denounced the unsteady clansmen, and told the clansmen that they were punished because they didn't believe in God. He destroyed the Taurus, ruthlessly suppressed the rebellion, and reunited the team.

This incident shocked Moses greatly. At this time, he realized that the Jews not only needed spiritual leaders, but also had written laws. Otherwise, the Israelites would inevitably fall into chaos and would not be able to become a unified nation.

In a critical moment, he got help from God. When the slavery had ended and freedom had just begun, God would appear and announce the covenant norms in person. Moses led all the people out of the camp to meet God, and the place was on the top of Mount Sinai.

Everyone stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up at Mount Sinai, where God would appear; according to the records of Exodus, the mountain was covered with thick clouds, thunder and lightning, and 'God descended on the mountain in fire'. All the mountains shook!

The "Ten Commandments" were promulgated in such an extraordinary momentum. This was the first and only time that God appeared before the Israelites. They finally heard the voice of God, and they have a firm belief ever since!

It is said that at that time, the Israelites first stared dumbfounded at the miracle that happened before them, and then cheered loudly, with tears in their eyes, thanking God for not abandoning the Israelites when they were in a desperate situation, and showing them the direction.

In the dark night, people lit torches and recited the "Ten Commandments of Moses" over and over again, staying up all night! At dawn the next day, the turbulent crowd followed Moses step by step with one heart and set off on the journey again.

This miracle can also be seen as a covenant signed between God and the Jewish nation. Obeying God’s commandments has become the unshirkable responsibility and obligation of every Jew. This is an important factor for a nation to form a strong force.

Since then, the Israelis have made a more detailed judicial interpretation of the "Ten Commandments", the new national "Constitution" that is about to be born, involving civil law, commercial law, criminal law, etc. strip.

After the written law of Moses appeared, it had an extremely profound impact on the religious and social life of the Jews. Many aspects still strictly govern our behavior. No matter how many laws there are, the Ten Commandments are always the most important.

When pagans threaten their lives and ask Jews to give up the law, all other commandments can be given up, only the Ten Commandments cannot be given up, because it is the law of God, as long as they are Israelites, they will not violate the Ten Commandments!

With faith, the Israelites have an unshakable spiritual support, and the earliest monotheistic Judaism in the world was born. For centuries, it has maintained the survival of the Jewish nation and also nurtured the Hebrew culture.

It can be said that the "Ten Commandments" taught by Moses and God gave the Jews a common standard of social and moral cognition. Since then, the Jewish nation has become a nation with great centripetal force, creativity and development momentum.

Taking this as a node, the Jews transformed from a group of slaves who were weakened by long-term oppression and scattered like sand;

Mount Sinai, where God gave Moses and the Israelites the Ten Commandments, has become a holy place in the hearts of all Jews. Under God's instructions, Moses made the Ark of the Covenant on Mount Sinai, and then put the "Ten Commandments" into the Ark! "

Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but nodded, and so did the others beside him.

While talking, everyone had arrived at the first exploration location on the 'Stairway of Repentance'. Ye Tian, ​​who was walking at the front of the team, stopped immediately and looked towards a cave not far to the right!

Isaiah, who was working hard to preach and wanted to persuade Ye Tian to convert to Judaism, stopped talking and turned to look at the cave, his eyes full of expectation!
