God and the ancient Chinese Essay
I bring scan the whole bind and understand the whole concept. According to the Book of Isaiah, the Chinese people were menti unityd in the Prophecy. They were known as Sinim. When the Chinese Empire was setoff established it was first form under divinity fudges law. immortal was with each of the 4 dynasties. deity chose each might for each dynasty if wizard superpower has failed to keep Gods Commandment. He would raise up a new King to conquer over the old King. chinaw ar was established by two legendary rulers. Their names were Yao and Shun. They worship the God of Noah and through the Chinese Classics.It was believed that Yao and Shun witness the great flood. During the time of Babel God confused the people spoken communication. Yao and Shun formed a similar language group and traveled from Mesopotamia to Sinim tally to Gods will. In the Chinese classic there were near similar accounts to the Bible story. For example sauceboat, Eight, People. We could Understand that the Chinese classics was referring to the story of Noahs Ark. During the Qin Dynasty, King Qin Shi Huangdi prepared a feast for the Chinese Scholars. The feast was to bring completely the scholars in one place so the King could punish them.The King was upset that the Scholars were not instruct the Chinese children present teaching or else they taught the past teaching. He asked advices from his Prime Minister. Li Si, the Prime Minister was against the teaching of Shangdi (God). on that pointfore, he advised the King to burn all the Chinese classics writing. nearly of the writing were win in one place and pile up and burnt. Fortunately, there were some Scholars who had hid away the book of Confucius so it could be sound out by younger generation. Some of these writing still exist to these mean solar days. There are Chinese sages that were compared to the Biblical characters.I will illustrate intravenous feeding Sages. Mencius was one of the Sages. He had an amazing prophecy about the King. This King is no ordinary earthly King. He is the Heavenly King. He prophesied that 500 or more years will another King rule according to Gods will. Like worth, Daniels prophecy was alike Mencius. tanginess was a minister during a dynasty. He was compared to Joseph. Tang was appointed to gather grains and foods for the kingdom to supplies foods for the people to survive during the seven years drought. Pen Gen was elect by Shangdi (God) to lead the people from the Shang Dynasty to the land that was chosen for them by God.He was compared to Moses, who led the Israelites across the Red Sea from Egypt. Lao Zi was a declare Chinese Sage. No one knows for sure who he was or what land he came from. He was compared to John the Baptist because he went to make way for the grand Dao God. All the event had happened simultaneously after one another and coexisting to the Biblical events. Both the Chinese Classics and the Bible contain the Seventh-Day as the day of rest. The ea rly King had kept this commandment. On the seventh-day, the whole kingdom was to rest. The merchants and workers were to sloshed their stall.The kingdom main gate was to be close on the seventh-day so no businesses would continue working. God had laid the law for the Chinese to resist by and it was the Chineses duty to follow it. The Chinese Classics too talks about the sacrifice to Shangdi. After the first deception, men were to declare lamp to Shangdi. There is a pictograph bespeaking a man and a charwoman offering their sacrifice. The sacrifice is call, Border Sacrifice which was done in the tabernacle of Heaven in Beijing. God might have chosen the Chinese Sages to tell the people to come to God. Confucius was a messenger of Dao (God).He spent most of his life teaching about the Dao. In the book of Yi Jing which was create verbally by Confucius contained the redemption Plans of God. During the year, Chinese Sages lost track of Gods teaching and new religions began to co me into the country. Therefore, the Chinese begin to worship idols and believe in sinful rituals. The true Dao God was lost and when the Dao come again he will judge them fairly according to their sins. I have canvass Church History about Christianity in China and I was very impressed how far back Christianity begins in China. My first impression on china before studying about the history was just broad.I thought their very first religion was Tao or Buddhist that Tao Dao God was the teaching of God but as times passes by the true teaching of God have been lost with it. Buddhism later influences the anomalous teaching. I would have never thought after the Tower of Babel, the Chinese Dynasty would rise up as well. I am disappointed with this book because it was focusing too much on the Chinese Classics and the prophecy. Some of the Classics are riddle which is hard to understand. When I was studying Church History, the teacher would show us some statues and sculptors that have sim ilar account to the Bible Story.From my perspective, I would love to see more statues or pictures rather than riddle which I cant even understand. This is the third book I have read that is related to china and by far the most expatiate related to Christianity in China. I have always been interested in the history of china and this last book really shed some light for me about Gods love. Most of the events happen almost simultaneously with each other. One last history facts that really floor me is the belief of Confucius. I have always known him as one of the great Chinese Sage but he was more of the messenger of God prophet in China and he was a Christian.
