Centuries later, in Prohibition-era America, the immortals have come together once again, and the "stupid commotion" starts.
First of all, I was having bible lesson on Wednesday night, and usually, you know, I get bored easily. But that study - *GASP* - was probably and, most likely, the best lesson I've ever had, including those lame-oh ones from school. Anyway, we were learning about Jesus - duh - and one of my friends asked: "Why was Jesus born in Isarel and not in China?"
Well, wouldn't you like to know as well?
The beginning starts off with the tale of Adam and Eve, the first humans to dwell on earth. After Eve had been tempted by the devil to savour the bite of a fruit from the tree which God forbade the pair to eat, the Lord cursed both the man and woman, and the serpent who deceived them. First, he said to the devil,
"Cursed are you above all the
livestock
and all the wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
and you will eat dust
all the days of your life.
And I will put emnity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and
hers;
he will crush your head,
and you will strike his heel."
Genesis 3:14-15
Study this particular passage thouroughly, from verse 15: "And I will put emnity between you and the woman," which means the serpent and mankind will despise each other. "And between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel," which then means that only ONE descendant of both will attack one's head and strike another's heel. But hear this: "your offspring", aka the child will only belong to a woman, the child will only have the genes of his mother.
Hint: Mary
Adam and Eve gave birth to children, who then gave birth to more, and so the generation grew. Eventually, it led to the line of King David, and in his blood was the blood of one of his descendants, Joseph. His fiancee, Mary, was the mother of Jesus, a virgin who was concieved through the Holy Spirit. Hence, Jesus was the son who only had the genes of his mother, speaking in terms of biologically.
REWIND~ Why was Jesus born in Isarel and not America or Vietnam or IRAQ?
Now we go to the story of the time when Isarel was not yet a nation. God had decided to pluck out a man from one of the countries - Abram. The Lord soon later changed Abram's name to Abraham, because he wanted its title to be filled with christianity. Abraham led his people out, following God's orders, not knowing where it was that he was going. And along the way, he had a son, Isaac, who then had two sons, Esau and Jacob. From Esau and Jacob came the twevle tribes, which then made a new nation, Isarel.
The Lord wanted Jesus to be born in Isarel because all the other nations worpshipped idol. If He was born in America, his parents would teach him wrongly. So from the lands of Isarel, the only nation that never worshipped idols, Jesus received life.
God also told all the people of Isarel the 10 Commandments.
THE END!!
