Crusade against the Pope

Chapter 306: Reaffirmation of the Prophecy

The battle was over, and Yusuf even doubted whether it could be called a battle.

Because it was just a one-sided crushing. A strong man relied on his agile movements and strong fists to knock twenty Turkic riders off their horses one by one.

With such a huge gap between the two sides, any resistance from the other side seemed particularly ridiculous.

In addition, no blood was shed between the two sides, and the other side did not fight desperately. Instead, after witnessing the power of the Franks, they timidly expressed their surrender.

They were placed in positions one by one by the Franks, and they squatted aside, afraid of being eaten by fists the size of cabbages.

You know, two of the horses that had been accidentally hit by punches before already looked to be in a bad condition and were dying.

It was not until this time that a spark flashed in Yusuf's mind. He thought of the other party's name and guessed the identity of the Frank.

The main reason is that these days, there are too many people with the same name in the Mediterranean, and he had never thought in that direction before.

Before the Franks began to interrogate the Turks, Yusuf approached the Franks cautiously with a hint of reverence.

"Sir, may I ask you something, you are..."

"Yes, I am."

The Franks did not try to be mysterious and directly admitted that they were the person the other party had in mind.

In this regard, all the previous feats seemed reasonable. Even Yusuf's original doubts and suspicions about the Prophet disappeared after combining them with what had happened before.

If you can subdue dozens of people with just your fists, this is not a miracle, then what is a miracle?
If we think about it more deeply, maybe even the previous earthquakes were prepared by Allah so that the Prophet would have the opportunity to perform miracles...

Yusuf's knowledge of theology was naturally not very profound.

In his understanding, Allah, or GOD, actually has a clear personality and preferences.

Therefore, Allah will naturally arrange unexpected destinies for those whom He favors.

This kind of behavior, which has personalized characteristics and can be portrayed in a certain degree of imagery, if strictly speaking, is actually associating an object with a master.

But on the other hand, it is easier to worship them than to worship gods who are absolutely high above and without any humanity.

In Islamic theology, this is obviously a topic that is not suitable for much in-depth discussion.

But now, from a third-party perspective, Yusuf has actually converted to Gelistism, or Jerusalem Christianity.

Jerusalem Patriarchal theology, which emerged from Catholic theology, has inherited the Catholic Church's amazing flexibility on this topic.

Simply put, this kind of thinking will only be taken to extremes when religious leaders like Gairis say that this is idolatry and associating objects with God.

This flexibility is not only extremely beneficial to the Jerusalem Church, but in fact it also demonstrates amazing vitality for Catholicism.

In the process of the spread of various religions to the East.

After Catholicism was introduced into East Asia, it not only gained the recognition of the grassroots believers, but also gained recognition among the intellectual upper class for its meticulous theological system.

As Italian Gramsci wrote in his book: [The strength of all religions, and especially of the Catholic Church, was and is the acute sense of the need for doctrinal unity among all the faithful, and the effort not to separate the upper intellectual strata from the lower strata. The Roman Church has always fought most resolutely to prevent the "official" formation of two religions: the religion of the "intellectuals" and the religion of the "simple souls."]

Gellis needs to take into account the simple cognition of "simple souls" and also provide real guidance to the elites.

Naturally, they would not deliberately correct the harmless "misconceptions" of the lower-class people. "Forefather, why... do you want to walk with us so simply?"

Yusuf stuttered as he spoke, he was really too excited.

Putting aside the miracles that Gellis has performed, the changes he has brought about in the past thirteen years alone are enough to deify him.

In his hands, the dying state of Jerusalem was not only saved from despair, but also defeated the former overlord Saladin, radiating its power to the entire Levant.

It was truly a small country that began to rise and established regional hegemony.

Moreover, this is not the result of any militarism. To quote Georgia, this is now the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

That is: peasants live like nobles, nobles live like princes...

During this process, Yusuf's family has reaped the benefits several times in succession and has quickly become a true business giant.

Even branches like Yusuf have the opportunity to lead a caravan and start their own life.

Thirteen years ago, Yusuf was still a child. In these thirteen years, he grew up listening to the myths of Garys.

Garys first took a look at the Turkic captives, then signaled Yusuf to take people to tie these guys up first.

After the aftershocks and the chaos in the caravan were over, Gailis sat aside and prepared to explain the reasons.

“Yusuf.”

Hearing his own name, Yusuf was terrified: "First..."

"Don't call me prophet, call me sir."

"Uh... yes, first... sir."

"Your uncle Zaid and I are old acquaintances, did you know that?"

"Ah?" Yusuf was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it should be so.

Otherwise, how could an Arab family like them thrive so well in a country dominated by the Franks?

"When I first met him, I told him a prophecy."

"If destiny had not forged me into an anchor for this world, after thirteen years, the cross from Rome would have devoured Rome."

"The city that the world longs for will be torn apart - this is the trumpet of the Last Judgment falling from the seven heavens!"

"However, when the Latins' wine bottles were filled with Constantine's tears, the thunder of the grassland had already gathered and formed at the source of the Onon River. The sound of horse hooves will roll across the thousands of miles of grassland, and the spear of the Antichrist will pierce the prophecies of all scriptures!"

"From the khatun's tent to the tower of Baghdad, the land groans under the iron hoofs."

"The pillars of the House of Wisdom will be replaced by saddles, and the waves of the Euphrates will swallow up a hundred thousand bones!"

"When the bowstring breaks the morning prayer, the golden age of Arabia will also usher in the trumpet of the end."

Garris, dressed in plain, shabby clothes, speaks of the fate of the world.
