Chapter 226 Empowering the Mission
"Master Xilan, I want to know, God made a covenant with the prophet, is it because making a covenant is the mission God gave to the prophet?"

Facing Antinon's question, Xi Lan answered it.

"Maybe it is, or maybe it isn't, we can't be sure except for the gods and prophets.

I remember that the prophet received the revelation of the covenant in a dream. Perhaps God had prepared and arranged for this covenant long ago. "

Although Xi Lan's answer is not watertight, it is also very complete.

This is actually his attitude towards "predestination" and "election" at the Ecumenical Council, but with a different rhetoric.

Next, Antinon asked several more questions.

Some questions are very concise, such as: whether the situation of Ar and Alesto at sea is the intentional arrangement of your god.

This type of question is easier to answer. Xilan quoted some original sentences in the scriptures, and conceived it in his mind. After confirming that he did not deviate from the path of the prophet, he gave his own answer.

But there are still some questions that are so tricky that people have to think for a long time before they can barely give an answer.

For example: Your God has never appeared before you, how can you be sure that your God is the God in the Book of Kings and Prophets?

Another example: apart from the path traveled by the prophets, will you still have a new path in the future?
Regarding the former, this question is too tricky, and Xi Lan was in a dilemma for a while. He couldn't give a perfect answer, but he did his best to give an answer:
"Although our god has never appeared in front of us, the prophet has climbed to the top of God's mountain, and his identity is recognized by the elf priests.

And our service is acquiesced and inspired by our God. One servant cannot serve two masters. If our God is not the God in "Kings and Prophets", how can He approve our service? ? "

As for the latter question, Zealand cannot predict the future. He does not know whether God will choose a new prophet, nor whether there will be a new way in the future.

So he replied:
"We are mortals, not gods. We cannot see the direction of our destiny. Only God knows what will happen in the future.

And no matter what kind of path it is, the church is willing to accept it, because the church must act like a prophet and act according to God's will. "

Xi Lan's answer is not perfect, and he can't be perfect, but his words summarize part of the church's thoughts.

After Antinon asked many questions, Daniel, who had been listening, was amazed at the intelligence of this young man. Many of his questions were not covered by the church, and some were even spiritual defects that the church hadn't noticed.

Daniel silently recorded the scene in front of him in his mind, not daring to forget it at all. He planned to record this conversation on papyrus after Antinon left. If he had the opportunity, he would compile it into a question-and-answer book explaining theology.

Zealand was also surprised. He gradually felt that Antinon's question was not so much doubts, but more like vigilance. He was like a delicate mirror, reflecting the shortcomings of the church's theological thinking one by one.

During this process, Sealand kept thinking and giving answers, and because of these answers, she perfected the church's theological thinking.

"Master Sealand, next, I have one last question."

Antinon asked pleadingly.

"Please speak."

Sealand Road.

"Your god has given a mission to the prophet Ar, and to his successors - Tertullian and Alesto.

Then, Master Sealand,
You as the successor of the Prophet,
Has your God given you a mission? "

The words fell in the study, and Xi Lan showed astonishment.

On the other hand, Daniel also stood there in a daze, looking at Antinon in disbelief.

In this new law garden, no one thought of such a problem.

Yes, the sons of the prophet Ar, Tertullian and Alesto, as the successors of the prophet, the former climbed a high mountain and took off a leaf, while the latter turned into a swan at the last moment. They were undoubtedly endowed by God mission.

So... As the successor of the second prophet Norn——Zilan, did he have a mission entrusted by God?
Antinon looked straight at Zealand, waiting for the answer from the leader of the New Law Garden.

After being stunned, Xi Lan smiled wryly, and then said slowly:
"I don't know, I never thought about it before you asked that question.

This is just like what is said in the scriptures, Tertullian and Alesto were entrusted with a mission by God in the dark, and they were unaware of their mission at first.

Perhaps, God also gave me a mission somewhere, but I don't know, I can't be sure. "

Hearing this answer, Antinon smiled friendly, and then slowly stood up.

"Thank you, Master Sealand, you are so friendly and knowledgeable, you have taught me so much."

Zealand said:

"No, it's us, Antinon, who should say thank you."

When Antinon heard this, he didn't refuse anything, but just smiled.

After seeing off Antinon, Daniel followed Xi Lan back to the study.

There was no one around, Daniel said excitedly:

"Teacher... Maybe you have a mission bestowed by God on you, but you don't know it yet!"

He trembled all over when he said this.

Daniel prays every day and recites the scriptures every day. He is familiar with every story in the sacred scriptures. He has also preached to others countless times, and he has felt his heart shaken countless times while explaining the scriptures.

But this time, Daniel felt a shock he had never felt before, so much so that his soul trembled.

He narrated the scriptures day and night, but never imagined that one day the myths and legends in the scriptures would be so close to them.

The figure of my teacher Xi Lan will eventually be recorded in the sacred classics, which will be inherited by the world later and become a universal truth passed down through the ages.

Those who recite the scriptures also become the people in the scriptures.

Xi Lan took a deep breath, and his hands couldn't help shaking slightly.

But after calming down, Xi Lan said slowly:

"Don't let pride overwhelm you, Daniel, pride will turn into lust in the end."

"The ancient King Doriot was originally the son of Jalesto, but he was destroyed by desire."

"Whether I have been given a mission or not, no one knows except God."

Xi Lan's mood gradually calmed down. He knew that he was not a prophet and could not understand the meaning of God, so he humbled himself and neither expected nor longed for the so-called fame and history.

Daniel looked puzzled. He wanted to say something else, eager to prove his point - Sealand had been given a mission by God.

Xi Lan spoke first:

"Daniel, we must not be arrogant and greedy.

God can do it, and God can not do it.

It's not that what you guess from the scriptures, God will do.

God is the God of the scriptures, not a God ruled by the scriptures. "

Xi Lan's lectures fell into the study, and Daniel listened to each word. At this time, he gradually calmed down, and the due humility filled his heart again.

"Teacher... I was too anxious.

If you guess God's will at will and act according to your own guesswork, then like King Doro and his son, they will often bear bad results, and even run counter to God's guidance, leading to unprecedented destruction. "

After Daniel finished speaking, he sighed softly,

"Then, teacher, I'll go out first."

Xi Lan nodded and watched Daniel leave.

Slowly closing the door of the study, Xi Lan paced back and forth in the study, frowning tightly, unable to relax for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, he stopped and took a deep breath.

"Mission?"

Zealand murmured.

"Would I... really be like King Tertullian and King Alesto?"

Then he smiled self-deprecatingly.

Just now, I was still teaching Daniel righteously, but now I am still worrying about the mission.

But even though Xi Lan knew what she was thinking, she couldn't stop it at all.

Xi Lan let out a breath, knelt down slowly, clasped her hands together, and closed her eyes slightly.

He was extremely contradictory. On the one hand, he knew that he should be humble, think of nothing, and wait for God’s arrangement.

On the other hand, he couldn't help wondering whether he would really leave his own chapter in the sacred scriptures like King Tertullian and King Alesto?

I can’t resolve this contradiction by myself, all I can do is pray to God.

"Oh God…

Did you give me a mission?
What do you need me to do? "

In the quiet study room, Xi Lan prayed in a low voice, apart from himself, perhaps only God could hear it.

There is a quiet light outside the window lattice, which shines in this study, reflecting the outline of dust.

Zealand doesn't know,
Is this a direct revelation from God, or is it just an unsurprising light.
