Chapter 1805 Miracle (Still Updating on the Third Day of the New Year! Please Give Me a Monthly Vote!
Idolatry generally refers to the worship of any kind of idol, image, or object, as opposed to the worship of a monotheistic god. Idolatry is the extreme form of a person's belief in the symbols and objects of his or her faith. Idol worship also refers to an individual's admiration and respect for the object he admires, and a series of learning and imitation behaviors triggered by it.
There are such changes or things that dominate and harm people's lives due to force majeure and other factors; there are such people who use their extraordinary deeds to influence people's behavior. From mysterious religions to unpredictable politics, from majestic heroic deeds to accomplished celebrities... they have lived and are living around people, and may even be individual selves, integrated into people's living conditions. effects on thinking consciousness. People give these changes, things or characters the status of "idol".
The worship and worship of idols seems to have originated after the emergence of human ideology, and is related to the fear and worship of mysterious powers and the admiration of myths and heroes. From totems and mythological figures in ancient times to reverence for ancestors, saints, heroes, etc., idols have always existed in the form of quantitative changes in human history, and occasionally experienced qualitative changes at a certain moment. Idol, "Xinhua Dictionary" has two definitions: a sculpture that is worshiped and enshrined by people, which is a metaphor for a symbol of some mysterious power in people's minds; an object that is worshiped blindly without criticism. Specifically refers to a traditional belief or ideal.
It can be seen that idols are both material and spiritual, with an inseparable unity of opposites. Materiality means that it has objectively existed in the form of materialization, phenomenon or form. Spirituality means that it has been endowed with some mysterious power after its state of existence and extension, so that other individuals have faith and worship, and it is constantly endowed with new ones. meaning.
People worship idols. First, they are confused about certain irresistible phenomena. For example, in ancient times, humans were curious about magical natural phenomena such as wind, rain, thunder and lightning. They believed that there was some mysterious force controlling everything. Fear, strangeness and other psychological reactions lead to belief and worship; another example is confusion and thinking about the existence of the soul (the devil). Modern science tries to use the principle of electromagnetic waves to explain the phenomenon of the soul (the devil), but people still cannot reveal whether it exists objectively. Therefore, its objective existence is only agreed upon in an imaginary sense, etc. ; The second is the commonality of the situation and thought, which is a comparison of another dimension of the individual's way of survival. It first exists in the form of an ideal, and then the ideal is practiced, such as sympathy for the rise of political figures, the "success" of entertainment stars, and others. Individuals rely on their own endowment conditions, The combined effect of personal efforts and objective historical, social conditions and other factors have realized the dreams of other individuals and become known to people. Therefore, the self also has similarities with such people because of certain material interests and spiritual enjoyments it pursues, and feels the same way. Believe and imitate, forming a cult. etc.
The essence of idol worship seems to be the superstition of the self's psychological sustenance and behavioral substitute carriers, and it is the extreme form of belief in the symbols and objects of believers. It is just a concrete and subtle ultimate of beliefs and ideals used by "I". "I" give "him" certain meanings, and then believe in and choose to follow my own way. If criticism is integrated, the meaning of idols has been self-destructed in terms of meaning mechanism. Idols will eventually be destroyed by themselves...
"Idol worship" is an instinct and a natural expansion of human nature. However, when this instinct and expansion choose unscrupulous means due to external factors, human nature will be subverted in the dust of indulgence. When idol worship changes from role models and role models to a state of blindness that one must see in one's life, the worshiper's human nature will breed the desire to "indulge oneself", "go one's own way", and "have to do this", and eventually As for falling into a psychedelic state of chasing idols, escaping from reality, and losing yourself.
Now this is the situation before Muhammad... Of course he doesn't think this is idolatry, after all, he is a prophet!
In fact, religion is really interesting. While they oppose idol worship, they also say: they worship holy images, not idols. Christianity hangs crosses, but Christianity says that we do not worship idols, and that the cross is a symbol of victory. The Catholic Church hangs a statue of Jesus, but the Catholic Church says that we do not worship idols. Jesus is the Son, not an idol. Buddhism offers images of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but Buddhism says that we do not worship idols. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are holy images, not idols. All major religions have "self-defined" the scope of idols, but claim that they do not worship idols. However, some religions use this "self-regulation" to attack other religions. This is a bit ridiculous.
Some people say: This is not a self-regulation, but a command from God. So I would like to ask: Christianity and Catholicism both believe in God, why are God’s commands different?
It can be seen from this that it is not a command from God at all, but a self-determination within the religion. With this kind of self-regulation, it is not certain who is right or wrong.
Anyway, that’s what I said, what can you do?
A real hooligan.
But you cannot deny that idol worship is the prototype and primary extreme of religion!
Like those idol fans on the Internet nowadays... they have already developed into a cult.
Becoming blind and fanatical.
This is what Muhammad is like now. His eyes looking at the Prophet are full of unparalleled fanaticism!
In the beginning, Muhammad actually didn't have a good impression of Apocalypse... He went to school, although the religious atmosphere in Egypt is much more relaxed than in other Islamic countries. After all, it has been under secular rule for decades, and many things are still open.
He does have his own beliefs, but how to say... that is only part of his lifestyle, not all of him, and he is definitely not a fanatic.
He didn't have a good impression of the prophet. After all, after decades of education, it is impossible to accept a prophet who appeared out of nowhere so easily.
And Apocalypse looks... really ugly.
Blue skin and scary looks.
But after seeing the power of Apocalypse, he began to believe that Apocalypse is a real prophet, because no one except a prophet can have such great power!
He is not an ordinary person who has only seen the power of artillery in movies. He has truly experienced the bombardment of artillery groups on the battlefield and survived... In his mind, who can block the artillery volleys is not a prophet?
Except for Allah, only the prophet can do such a thing!
He was already desperate, and he was about to start his final recitation, reciting the "Yassin" chapter of the Quran. This chapter outlines the three major principles of Islamic faith, namely, testifying to God, acknowledging the Prophet and believing in the Day of Resurrection. Reciting it for the dying patient, so that he can die calmly and return to God, and at the same time, the living can receive his teachings and rewards.
Unfortunately, he failed to complete all the steps of returning to the truth (returning to the truth means passing away).
According to Islamic customs, believers need four steps before returning to the truth.
The first is to leave a will. Muhammad said: "Any Muslim who is seriously ill, as long as he can live for two days, leave a will." Before a person dies, when he is awake, he should instruct his family to repay his debts, distribute inheritance and charity, ask people to forgive his mistakes and ask for forgiveness. The patient can ask the imam to recite the "ask for forgiveness" on his behalf, repent to God and ask for forgiveness.
Second, according to the Hadith, when the patient is dying, the person watching over him should recite the "Shahada" to the patient, so that the patient can remember God and not be attached to the world. Do not force it to prevent the patient from hurting his integrity due to the pain of dying.
The third is to recite the "Yasin" chapter of the Quran. This chapter outlines the three major principles of Islamic faith, namely, testifying to God, acknowledging the Prophet and believing in the Day of Resurrection. Reciting it for the dying patient will make him die calmly and return to the Lord, while allowing the living to receive his teachings and rewards.
The last step is to ignore what happened to the deceased, which is completed by the relatives. 'After the patient dies, take off his clothes, close his eyes, close his mouth, smooth his limbs, tidy up his face and hair, make the deceased face the "Kaaba" and cover him with a white sheet. '
Then prepare the deceased's shroud, ablution, funeral and burial.
This is also the reason why many people are unwilling to die on the battlefield, which conflicts with their customs... Of course, this is just an excuse. When Islam was rampant in Eurasia, they didn't care about this, as long as they could win. What a pity...Isn't it always losing?
The conditions on the battlefield are limited, and Muhammad plans to read a passage from the Quran to himself, as a way to comfort himself.
As a result, he was still reviewing his life in his mind, and he hadn't even started reading the Quran.
Apocalypse appeared!
In fact, there were many people like Muhammad on the battlefield.
There was no way, Apocalypse's appearance was too cool.
He turned into a giant, blocking the sky and the sun to block the concentrated shells for the soldiers!
If this is not a miracle, what is it?
"What is that?!!! Who can tell me what that is?!!"
The front-line command of the little bully has gone crazy.
After all, such a big blue-skinned giant suddenly appeared, unless you are blind, it is impossible not to see it. When the front reconnaissance troops sent back the intelligence, the command's first reaction was not to believe it, but more of the same intelligence came, so they had to believe it.
But the more this happened, the more crazy the command became.
What the hell?
A giant suddenly appeared and blocked all the shells?
This is impossible, how big must the giant be.
But more than one reconnaissance team ahead sent the same message, unless they were all hallucinating.
What's more, Xiaobawang also has drone reconnaissance! That's a live broadcast, it's very clear!
"Get the artillery! Focus on him! Even if it's a real giant, I'll blow him up without leaving any slag!"
The frontline commander was more decisive, and directly asked the frontline reconnaissance team to report the target coordinates, and directly asked the entire artillery group to focus!
The targets of artillery attacks are generally beyond the line of sight, which is also safer. In general, satellites are used for precise positioning, or aircraft and scouts are dispatched for positioning. After obtaining the enemy's coordinates, calculations are made, and the distance, direction, and elevation difference are calculated before shooting.
Next, there were bursts of artillery roars.
Tianqi frowned... He underestimated the power of artillery.
After all, he had never been bombed before.
In fact, few people in this world have such treatment... As for those who have experienced and survived, there are even fewer.
But it's okay.
It's not beyond expectations, I can handle it.
Tianqi felt the pressure on himself and felt that although it was beyond expectations, it was not unacceptable.
It was not easy to appear once, so Tianqi naturally had to do his best to scare everyone at once, regardless of friend or foe!
He needed a chance to show himself to the world.
So even if he got a little hurt for this, he could accept it.
He was not that delicate.
So when another wave of artillery fire came, he did not stand still this time, but flew up and rushed forward!
He was seen floating in the air, and then his mental power exploded.
A mental storm formed around him!
Anything that approached him would be directly decomposed and disintegrated by this force!
The mental storm appeared as a shining spherical storm, covering a very large area.
After the shells and rockets entered it, they did not explode, but instead turned into ashes and dissipated in the air like a beach blown by the wind.
Not only that, as Apocalypse flew higher and higher, the storm became bigger and bigger!
It directly enveloped the Egyptian army positions below!
One by one, the Egyptian soldiers raised their heads and opened their mouths, as if looking at God... No, looking at Allah, looking at the beautiful scene created for them by Apocalypse.
The physical effect caused by the spiritual storm is very beautiful. Its light is not dazzling, it appears and disappears from time to time, and it looks colorful. After those deadly weapons enter it, they are like sand piles blown by the wind, and they dissipate in an instant. The process is not violent, but very artistic.
If this is not a miracle, what the hell is it! ! !
"All soldiers, obey my orders, retreat, and leave everything to me!"
At this moment, the voice of Apocalypse suddenly sounded in the hearts of all soldiers. The voice of Apocalypse is still very recognizable and very nice. People who have heard public speeches several times can remember it.
A group of people looked at each other.
In the end, the senior commander ordered the entire army to retreat 30 kilometers!
Although they didn't quite understand the order, all the soldiers did it.
And this time the retreat was very orderly, and no one wanted to make a mistake. The voice just now made many people feel that the prophet had been watching them!
If you make a mistake, you will not only be embarrassed, but you may even usher in a more terrible punishment... Religious punishment, such as going to hell, being questioned about your faith, etc.
Watching his soldiers retreat, Apocalypse did not leave, but remained suspended in the air, and the storm was still blowing.
The little tyrant on the opposite side was shooting desperately!
They thought they must be hallucinating!
Fake!
All fake!
But soon this level of artillery salvo stopped. It was impossible for the artillery to fire continuously without interruption, which would make the barrel scrapped!
The barrel of the artillery is very easy to wear out. The barrel life of a general artillery is only eight seconds. Of course, this is calculated based on the time the shell stays in the barrel, not the use time of the barrel. The flight time of the shell in the barrel is very short, usually only a few tenths of a second. For example, if the initial velocity of the shell is 1200 meters per second, then when the barrel length is 5 meters, the flight time of the shell in the barrel is about 0.1 seconds. Therefore, the service life of the barrel, that is, the time from the ignition of the shell to the exit of the muzzle tube, may be only a few seconds.
However, the little tyrant did not give up, they still have the air force!!!
