My German Empire - Chapter 52:
Wilhelm smiled slightly when he saw the face of several elders looking very ugly. “Elder Bloom, they are your confidants?”
Bloom nodded cautiously, his instinct told him that the next thing that His Highness was going to talk about would be absolutely extraordinary.
Wilhelm got up and walked towards the canvas, picked up a new brush and said while painting. “If you help me, I will certainly help you too. You Jews have not had a country of your own for a long time. This makes you live in different parts of the world, but you have no feelings for the country you were born in. In that case, I can give you a home and let you go back and establish a nation in the holy city of Jerusalem in the Middle East.”
As soon as his words fell, the elders present there were so shocked, it was as if they were petrified.
After a few minutes of silence, a few people suddenly came back to “life” and the place became a mess.
“Oh, God!!”
“How can this be?!”
“Long live!”
“You are kidding!”
“…!”
Seeing these Jews who were caught in an exceptional excitement, Annie frowned slightly and raised her hand in the air to make a gesture. As long as these Jews dare to act unscrupulously, the hidden guards will definitely kill them immediately.
Fortunately, these Jews were also people who had experienced strong winds and waves, and soon calmed down.
As for why they are so excited, it is because Jerusalem carries too much spiritual meaning for the Jews, and the life of this holy city is the same as the history of the Jews, with ups and downs.
How bumpy is the history of Jewish people? In history, Jews have been driven out of their holy city three times.
The first time: The Assyrians destroyed the ten tribes of Jew (Israel), and the Jews of these ten tribes were exiled, but two tribes of Jew still existed.
The second time: During the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar, Solomon’s Temple was destroyed and the Jews were exiled again, and they did not return until the time of Cyrus The Great.
Third time: The Second Temple was destroyed at the time of Titus of Rome, and the Jews were expelled from Jerusalem. From then on, only after the end of World War II, Jews regained their country and regained Jerusalem after a long war.
In the three thousand years after Jerusalem was established, two thousand years of which had almost nothing to do with the Jews.
As for why the Jew people were so plagued by disasters, one can see from their national legends.
Everyone in future generations knows that Israel is the number one power in the Middle East, but in history, “Israel” originally referred to a nation rather than a country. You may not know that the ancestor of Jew was Abraham’s grandson Jacob, and this Jacob was quite capable. Legend has it that he wrestled with God and won. So God changed his name to “Israel”, which means “wrestling with God, contending with God and being undefeated”.
It is a pity that no matter which mythology it is, mortals who have angered the gods have basically nothing to eat. After all, if mortals defeat gods at every turn, how can those monarchs “given by gods” or emperors called “sons of heaven” get their way? !
As a result, after suffering a series of changes, Jacob took his descendants and lived in Egypt for 430 years. This period was also the first time that Jew people experienced the suffering of departing their homes.
Later, a great hero appeared among the Jews, and he was Moses.
Moses led his people back to Canaan where their ancestors once lived, and started a free life again. This period of history is also called “Exodus” and is recorded in the “Bible”.
But the good times didn’t last long. The Jews were later annihilated by the Kingdom of Assyria and the Kingdom of Babylon, and their tribesmen were captured in the Mesopotamia area and became “Prisoners of Babylon.” Later, with the destruction of Babylon by the Persian Empire, the Jews returned to their hometowns. However, it was destroyed by the ancient Roman Empire shortly afterwards.
It is said that the suffering of the Jews stems from human sin, God’s punishment, and God’s mercy.
The sin of Jews: rebellious against God and denying Jesus;
God’s punishment: God told the Jews through the prophets of Jew that they would punish them;
God’s mercy: Jew repented in the midst of suffering and returned their faith in God to avoid ultimate destruction.
The blush on Elder Bloom’s face due to excitement has not faded yet, he tried his best to control himself, and asked cautiously. “You mean our own, Jewish country?”
Wilhelm nodded very surely. “Yes, I’m talking about your own country of Jews. And everyone present at that time will become the founding fathers of the Jew kingdom, and you will become heroes in the history of the Jewish nation. Your names will be engraved on monuments in Jerusalem and worshipped and admired by all the Jews of later generations.”
Although Wilhelm tried his best to excite them, these Jews were not fools, but very shrewd businessmen, they would never instantly agree to swallow this big pie only drawn on paper.
The Jew next to Elder Bloom asked. “His Royal Highness, with Germany’s current strength, how are you so sure that you can really form a separate country for us? With all due respect, the current domestic situation is not so optimistic and it can even be said to be precarious. ”
Wilhelm paused and smiled. “Why can I be so sure? Because I have seen God.”
Ignoring the astonishment on everyone’s faces, he continued. “Let’s put it this way, you all know that me and my brothers were in a car accident a few years ago. My elder brother died on the spot, and my younger brother is still unconscious. Only I survived unscathed.
Although unharmed, I was in a coma for several months before waking up. Why? Because during that period, God gave me the direction of the future, he also gave me knowledge from the future. I spent a few months digesting what God taught me. When I woke up, I was like a reborn person. It can be said that I am the apostle sent by God to govern the order of the world. ”
Wilhelm suddenly shut his mouth when he saw the complexion of one of the Elder change wildly and he was sweating profusely , and within a few seconds he rolled his eyes and fainted.
“What’s wrong with him?”
Elder Bloom hastily apologized. “please take no offense. It seems that he is sick. Your Highness, please allow us to go back first. As for your proposal, can you let us consider it for a few days?”
“No problem, anyway, I’m not in a hurry.” When that guy came, he was still perfectly fine, why did he suddenly faint? Could it be that he was frightened by my seemingly irrational words?
Wilhelm was amused by this childish thought.

The Jew supported by his several companions in the car also slowly woke up, and stretched out his right hand tremblingly. He loosened his clenched fists to reveal a pile of yellow debris in the palm of his hand.
Several Jews around were shocked and exclaimed. “The holy pearl is broken?!”
“This, how is this possible?!!!”
