The people here had also heard of the name of the Son of God and rejoiced at the arrival of the Messiah – because God had appointed the Messiah to bring the gospel to the poor and to save all the oppressed people of Salem! As for the carpenter Joseph's son also named Joseph, people thought that it was just a coincidence of the same name. But when the legendary Messiah arrived with his disciples, the people were surprised to find that he was that Joseph!
People began to talk about it – "How can he admit that he is the Son of God? Everyone here knows that he is the son of Joseph the carpenter! "," What tricks did Joseph learn in the Eygut to confuse so many people? " "I watched him grow up, he is not the Son of God, he is just a carpenter in a small village!"
Amid the doubts, Joseph's preaching was no longer so popular, and he looked like a fraud and a liar. It was no wonder that the villagers would have such doubts and thoughts, they had always regarded Joseph as the same person as themselves, and it was difficult to accept his change.
On the other hand, Joseph did not return to his hometown in glory. He still wore a coarse robe and held a cane made of tree branches. There was no crown on his head, no halo on his body, and he did not even sit in a carriage. Instead, he led his disciples on foot, and he still looked like an ordinary person like the villagers.
If he was the legendary son of Allaha, not only would the villagers not believe it, even his parents would have doubts in their hearts. If Joseph had become an official or made a fortune outside, and had a high status, people might have been more willing to accept the change in his identity if he had come with a splendid fleet of carriages in fine clothes.
Joseph understood all this in his heart, so he no longer preached anything to the people of his hometown. After settling the disciples, he returned home and continued to help his father with his carpentry work. This made his parents feel very gratified, the son they knew was back.
However, the disciples could not accept their Son of God only doing carpentry work at home, and after a while, they finally could not help but come to Joseph and say: "Dear Guide, why did you return to the village to work as a carpenter? You are the Messiah prophesied by the prophet, have you forgotten your mission? "
Jorah was working on a chair with a hammer in one hand and a chisel in the other. He sighed and said to his disciples, "I have never forgotten what I came to do. I returned to my hometown and came to my parents' side. This is also a kind of farewell. I don't have much time left. 'Respect your parents. Never forget who brought you into this world and gave you life.' This was the promise God made with Moses. "
John asked again, "Then what should we do? Continue to wait for you? "
Jorah shook his head and said, "I'm still here, and you're already confused. If one day I'm gone, what will you do?
？ I spread the faith of God, and you can spread it like I do. "
The disciples asked, "What should we do?"
"Imitate me!" "You've all seen the bear named Vivi. Although he can't understand complicated preaching, he can still imitate people's prayers. Have you not learned anything after following me for so long? We come into this world with nothing and no knowledge.
It's our parents who gave us life and raised us. We learn all knowledge and skills by imitating them. But in the end, you have to know clearly what you're doing, and truly understand and accept the faith you're pursuing. Go! Go to the villages and do what I've done, not stay by my side and sigh. "
Jorah sent them to various villages to preach the Gospel of God and heal people's suffering. He specifically instructed them, "Don't bring too many things when you go out. Pray for those who receive you warmly. If someone doesn't welcome your preaching, don't be angry. I've set a time limit of half a year, and I'll wait for your return in my hometown. "
…
The disciples who accompanied Jorah were the most talented and perceptive among his followers. Jorah awakened the power of the origin for them. He focused on teaching them the Blessing Magic, and taught them other skills according to their strengths. However, Jorah did not explain the various levels of achievements like he did to the Temple Guide Mages. Instead, he focused on explaining to the disciples what tests they needed to pass to embark on the path to heaven.
About half a year later, the agreed time was almost up. The disciples came back one after another. They were travel-worn but in high spirits. They went to preach the Gospel of Jorah and spread the faith guided by Allaha in the way Jorah taught them. Although they were not as successful as Jorah himself, they all achieved their own achievements.
When the disciples gathered again, they excitedly talked about what they had seen and heard. The Gospel that Jorah preached was obviously more popular in other places than in Nazareth, and Jorah still stayed at home as a carpenter.
The disciples could not help but analyze the matter. In fact, they all knew very well what caused Jorah's encounter in his hometown. Peter sighed and said, "Why don't the people of Nazareth understand that Jorah is the real Son of God!"
Judas said, "They have their own deep-rooted views, because Jorah was born and grew up here, the son of an ordinary carpenter. When they heard the name of the Son of God in the past, they thought it was a coincidence. The name of the Son of God, Jorah, will spread throughout the continent along with his deeds, and when people investigate his origins, they will still mention this matter. "
Peter slapped his thigh and said, "How can Jorah be the son of a carpenter? No! The deeds that will be spread in the future must have a new interpretation, and the Son of God should be the son of Allaha, born by the influence of the Holy Spirit! Make such an explanation to people, and everything will seem perfect. "
The disciples had long been convinced that Jorah was the legendary Messiah, the King of Salem who would build a new kingdom. As they talked, everyone began to look forward to the future. Some people thought that soon, Jorah would become the King of Salem, the ruler of the Salem Plains, and would lead the Salemites and the Samaritans to build an unprecedentedly powerful kingdom, replacing the Maro Empire. Just like the belief of God's guidance that Jorah had spread, it had gradually replaced the authority of the priests of the Temple among the people.
The disciples' vision of the future soon turned into a discussion and debate. They were all thinking about what positions they could hold in the court of the new kingdom in the future. For example, who could be the Prime Minister, who could be the Minister of Military Affairs, who could be the Minister of Internal Affairs, and so on … Peter was the most enthusiastic, he thought that he could be the head of all the officials, and the Minister of Finance, of course, should be Matthew, who had once been the Maro Empire's tax official.
When the discussion was at its most heated, the disciples suddenly heard Jorah's voice: "Who do you think I am?"
Everyone stopped talking and looked up, only to find that Jorah had appeared in front of them at some point. Although Jorah had been working as a carpenter at home during this time, he was very clear about the affairs of the disciples, and often went to the countryside of Bethany across the river to see Maria, so no one knew how he came back and forth, and no one had met him on the road.
Hearing Jorah's question, the disciples replied: "At first, you were thought to be the successor of John the Baptist; later, you were thought to be another prophet who brought the gospel; and now, everyone knows that you are the Messiah appointed by God, you are the Son of God who came to earth, and you will also be the King of Salem! Everyone is eagerly looking forward to you going to the city of Salem and completing the great work of the prophecy. "
Jorah sighed and said: "You have followed me for so long and witnessed everything I have done, but you still do not fully know who I am, and today it is necessary to make it clear. Yes, I am the prophesied Messiah, and I have never taken the initiative to proclaim myself so. Because once people learn of my arrival, they will arouse the desire in their hearts, and the King of Salem they desire is a king who will conquer the Maros and provide them with everything for free, allowing the Salemites to rule the continent.
That is not the king I will be, the seeds of my Holy Temple have been sown in the hearts of the people, and all you have done for the past six months is to spread this Holy Temple all over the Salem Plain. When people learn the truth, they will probably be disappointed, and then angry, thinking that I am a liar. However, I am indeed the Messiah, and God did not deceive anyone.
Unfortunately, I have seen that I will be engulfed in anger, and those who hate me will deal with me as they did with John the Baptist, and I will bear their sins. You may not understand why, because those people are also believers of God, but when people think that they act on behalf of the supreme God, they also lose their souls, or it is only in the name of selfish desires.
One day in the future, the faith guided by Allaha will spread throughout the continent along with the gospel I have spread. The Olympian gods believed in by the Maros will retire at dusk and disappear into eternity, becoming a legend, and the deeds of me, Jorah, will become another legend. People will also wake up to who I am and what they have done.
I have come to earth not only to spread the gospel of Allaha and build a temple in the heart, but also to fulfill my quest and vow. If I prove my vow, will people be able to usher in the world they have imagined? I do not know the answer, because at this moment, like you, I am still searching. I have only pointed out the way to heaven, and they are not in the magnificent and towering temple, but only in the soul.
How to view divinity and human nature, and do they contain the same source? I hope to find the answer in Jorah, but perhaps it is not the final answer. Will the world become a better place after me? I have left hope for the world, but the distance to heaven is both near and far … "
The disciples listened attentively to the preaching of the Son of God, and finally understood one thing completely, that Jorah was not the Messiah that the Salemites had been eagerly awaiting for a hundred years. It was not that he was deceiving anyone, he was the man, but people had their own assumptions in their minds.
