CHAPTER 1.1 : ארץ הקודש (Holy Land)

In the vast desert, the heat was intense and it made Firdaus' skin red. "Ahh, I'm thirsty," said Firdaus as he walked in the middle of the desert. But suddenly the wind blew from the east end to the west end. "Ah? The wind?". Then above was seen a eagle figure and surrounded by winged horses in thick steel clothes. "What the hell is that?" Said Firdaus in confusion. Then the eagle landed in front of Firdaus. There was a person dressed all in white and armored on the body. He was bearded and bald. He was the messenger of יֵשׁוּעַ. [NB: יֵשׁוּעַ. is Joshua in Hebrew]. King Herod [הורדוס]. "O man, why are you here? This is not your place." King Herod snapped. The Pharaoh was shocked and backed away. "Who are you? Don't come any closer, evil king!" Firdaus shouted. Then Herod approached him and stroked his cheek. "Evil? Yes?" "If that's what you say, you're wrong. I have now followed Yahweh." Then he stood up and gave Firdaus a drink. "Drink, before you die of thirst." Herod said. Herod ordered his soldiers to carry Pharaoh to Herod's kingdom. Paradise looked frightened of Herod's troops. Herod was known as the killer or slayer of the Servant יֵשׁוּעַ.

Firdaus was led down from the winged horse and arrived at Herod's kingdom. Herod offered Firdaus a small house to live in. And Firdaus was hesitant but in his heart had a little trust in Herod's behavior. he agreed and accepted Herod's offer. Firdaus asked Herod "Why have you brought me here? Mr. Herod?". "I told you, I was sent by God to bring you here, because this place is not your place." Herod replied. "Not my place? What place is it?" Said Firdaus with confusion. "It is Paradise (the name of the place). Or the Garden of Eden." "Huh???!!!" Firdaus was immediately shocked and weak. Firdaus felt very sinful because he had stepped on the holy land. "I will pray for 40 days without any rest!" "That is my big sin" said Firdaus while crying. "You have not sinned." Herod refuted Firdaus words. "What did you say?" Firdaus replied and looked at Herod. "I told you, you have not sinned." . "Why? Why! Can you tell me why?" I simultaneously knelt down in front of Herod. "What did you feel? Didn't you step on hot sand? That's the desert. The place will change shape if you return to the right side of יֵשׁוּעַ

."If you still feel the heat. And see the desert by your side, then it's not the time for you to occupy that place." "So He won't be angry with you even if you sin. He will always forgive you if you ask for forgiveness." Herod smiled and stood up. Herod went into the kingdom while being escorted by soldiers and killed Firdaus in the workplace. Now Paradise had a place to stay for his journey to Jerusalem [ירושלים].
