Chapter XXV: The Unveiling of Cosmic Truth

Ariel and Samael stood in awe as Ein Sof, the boundless essence, began to unravel the mysteries of Adonai and the nature of existence. They eagerly leaned forward, their hearts filled with anticipation.

"In the realm of higher Atzilut," Ein Sof began, their voice resounding through the very fabric of creation, "lies Adonai, the ultimate source of all that is. Adonai transcends all boundaries, surpassing even the realms we have traversed thus far. He exists beyond the limitations of death, time, and space and me, for he is the eternal spark that illuminates the cosmos."

Ariel's mind raced, trying to comprehend the unfathomable. How could a being exist beyond the very fabric of reality itself? How could Adonai determine the balance between life and death, holding the power to shape the very essence of existence?

Ein Sof continued, their words like a mesmerizing symphony of knowledge. "In the simplest terms, Adonai can be represented as a binary number, a single digit of 1. It signifies the existence, the presence of being. And nothingness, the void that lies before existence, is represented by the binary number 0. Both contain one bit of information, the most fundamental element of existence."

Ein Sof said, "With more complex language," Ein Sof continued, "In the realm of abstract conceptualization, where the binary framework of existence and non-being intertwines with the complex tapestry of metaphysical contemplation, the question arises: if we were to embark upon a labyrinthine journey delving into the very essence of divinity, with God personified as the binary digit 1, signifying an omnipotent force of existence, and juxtapose this against the abyssal void of nothingness, represented by the binary digit 0, denoting an absolute absence of being, wherein both of these enigmatic entities encapsulate a singular bit of information within their existential fabric, one is compelled to ponder whether the true essence of simplicity can truly be ascribed to either.

Shall we venture forth into the recesses of philosophical speculation and inquire if, perchance, the acme of simplicity is not encapsulated within the realms of God or nothingness, but rather resides within the transcendental realm of zero bits, an ethereal state that transcends the very notion of duality and evades the constraints of binary delineation? In this ethereal state of profound abstraction, bereft of the divine and the void alike, a sublime realm of pure potentiality unfolds, where the intricate tapestry of existence is rewoven into an enigmatic fabric of pure non-being. It is within this labyrinthine terrain of intricate abstraction that the essence of true simplicity manifests, unfettered by the binary shackles of God and nothingness.

Yet, as we delve deeper into the intricacies of this philosophical labyrinth, we must tread cautiously, for the path becomes increasingly treacherous and convoluted. For in this ethereal realm of paradoxical ruminations, where simplicity entwines with complexity, and abstraction dances with tangibility, we encounter the enigma of zero bits, an elusive state where the boundaries of existence blur and the binary foundations of our perception crumble. Is it within this elusive state that simplicity finds its ultimate expression, where the finite dissolves into the infinite and the duality of God and nothingness is rendered obsolete?

As we navigate the winding corridors of this metaphysical labyrinth, we must acknowledge that the pursuit of comprehension may lead us to the precipice of intellectual obscurity. The interplay between simplicity and complexity, elucidation and enigma, poses a daunting challenge to the very fabric of our understanding. And yet, it is within the depths of this intricate tapestry of contemplation that the answers, albeit veiled in the guise of complexity, may lie concealed, awaiting the intrepid seeker to unravel their esoteric mysteries.

In conclusion, within the vast expanse of philosophical discourse, the nature of simplicity remains an enigmatic enigma, a riddle woven into the fabric of existence itself. While the binary constructs of God and nothingness beckon us towards contemplation, it is in the transcendent realm of zero bits, a state beyond their grasp, that the essence of true simplicity may reside. And so, the quest for understanding continues, as we navigate the labyrinthine corridors of thought, forever seeking the elusive truth that lies concealed amidst the complexity of existence, In the binary again, where existence is 1 and nothingness is 0, where these two aspects would be part 0 and part 1 simultaneously, this is the lowest explanation,"

Ein Sof continued, "The ethereal realm of metaphysical transcendence, where the fabric of existence intertwines with the intricate tapestry of cosmic enigmas, the divine essence of Adonai manifests in a sublime state of nonduality, transcending the confinements of dualistic systems that permeate the vast expanse of reality. Within the expansive scope of an entire level of existence, Adonai's presence stands resolute, holding a qualitative superiority and an intrinsic immunity to the reverberations and repercussions inflicted upon this grand cosmic milieu.

Moreover, Adonai's ethereal existence transcends the boundaries of classical logic, delving into realms where the conventional states of contradiction, inherent within human cognitive frameworks, yield to the inscrutable mysteries that abound. It is in this esoteric domain that the enigmatic essence of Adonai defies the conventional modes of logical reasoning, embracing a paradigm that shatters the confines of the binary truth-false dichotomy, venturing into the vast expanses of an intricate and profound many-valued logic.

For every statement, denoted by the symbol "1," that attempts to encapsulate the essence of Adonai, a labyrinthine complexity emerges, eluding simple classification within the conventional realms of truth and falsity. Adonai dwells in a state that defies the simplicity of 1 being categorically true, 1 being unequivocally false, 1 being simultaneously true and false, or 1 being an elusive state of neither truth nor falsity, and 1 more is completely incomprehensible. Instead, the divine essence embodies a multidimensional spectrum of truth states, reaching beyond the confines of human comprehension, where a symphony of at least five distinct truth states harmoniously coalesce.

The intricate of Adonai's existence unfolds in a realm where the amalgamation of truth states ventures beyond the limitations of conventional understanding, weaving a complexity that challenges the human intellect. Attempting to confine the divine essence within the constraints of traditional logical paradigms proves futile, as Adonai traverses the vast of intellectual inquiry, defying simplistic categorization and beckoning the intrepid explorer of metaphysical realms to embrace the boundless intricacies that lie beyond the veil of conventional cognition.

Thus, Adonai's nature beckons those who dare to venture into the labyrinthine corridors of thought, where complexities intertwine with mysteries, and the truth states surpasses the realm of conventional comprehension. The divine essence of Adonai remains an Absolute, forever eluding simplistic understanding, inviting profound contemplation and awe in the face of the ineffable truths that lie nestled within the recesses of metaphysical exploration."

Ariel's mind grasped the concept, the notion that existence and non-existence, being and nothingness, were both rooted in the simplest building blocks of information. It was as if the entire cosmos could be distilled into the most basic of concepts.

"But, Ein Sof," Ariel questioned, his voice tinged with wonder, "if Adonai is beyond even existence itself, what is the purpose of our cosmic journey? What drives us to seek the mysteries of creation?"

Ein Sof's gaze held a glimmer of profound wisdom. "Ariel, my dear seeker of truth, the purpose lies in the exploration itself. As beings of consciousness, we are blessed with the gift of curiosity, the insatiable hunger to uncover the secrets of the universe. Our journey, filled with challenges and revelations, serves to awaken the dormant knowledge within us."

As Ein Sof spoke, the cosmic stage transformed, morphing into a celestial theater of wonders. Ariel and Samael found themselves surrounded by ethereal visions, each representing a facet of existence. They witnessed the dance of galaxies, the birth of stars, and the intricate interplay of cosmic forces.

In the midst of this grand spectacle, Ariel realized that their journey was not merely about discovering Adonai, but about unraveling the mysteries of their own being. Each step, each revelation, brought them closer to understanding the infinite layers of existence.

Samael, ever the inquisitive companion, voiced their thoughts. "Ein Sof, if Adonai is beyond existence, does that mean our quest is futile? Are we destined to forever chase a transcendent being that exists beyond our grasp?"

Ein Sof's eyes twinkled with compassion. "Dear Samael, the journey itself holds the key to enlightenment. The pursuit of knowledge, the exploration of the realms, and the bonds forged along the way—they are the very fabric of growth and understanding. Even if the ultimate truth lies beyond our reach, the journey itself transforms us, shaping our perspectives and expanding our consciousness."

Ariel nodded in agreement, their heart filled with a newfound sense of purpose. They realized that their cosmic odyssey was not solely about finding answers but about embracing the wonder and mystery that lay before them.

And so, with renewed determination, Ariel, Samael, and Ein Sof ventured forth into the unknown. They delved deeper into the realms of existence, their spirits intertwined as they continued their quest for knowledge and enlightenment.

As they traveled, they encountered celestial beings and witnessed cosmic phenomena that defied description. Dialogues echoed with profound insights and contemplations, as each encounter revealed new layers of understanding.

With every revelation, Ariel felt a deep connection to the grand tapestry of existence. They realized that their journey was not just about unraveling the mysteries of Adonai and the cosmos, but about uncovering the truths that lay within their own being.

The conversations between Ariel, Samael, and Ein Sof became moments of revelation, as each shared their unique perspectives and insights. The dialogues crackled with intellectual fervor and emotional depth, expanding the horizons of their collective understanding.

And so, their cosmic journey continued, guided by the light of knowledge and fueled by an insatiable thirst for truth. With each step, they drew closer to the heart of existence, their spirits intertwined in a dance of cosmic discovery.

As Ariel, Samael, and Ein Sof delved deeper into the realms of existence, their curiosity grew, and they hungered for a deeper understanding of the intricate fabric of creation. With each step, Ein Sof revealed more profound truths, expanding their perception of the cosmos.

"Adonai," Ein Sof began, their voice resonating with profound wisdom, "exists outside the realm of Atzilut, which encompasses all timelines, dimensions, and spaces greater than Asiyah, Yetzirah, and Briah. Each of these realms contains infinite dimensions, infinite timelines, and infinite spaces. And at every level, the infinite multiplies exponentially, surpassing the baseline below."

Ariel's mind reeled, trying to comprehend the vastness of the realms beyond their current understanding. The idea that there were infinite dimensions, timelines, and spaces, all expanding beyond their grasp, was both exhilarating and humbling.

Ein Sof continued, their words like a celestial symphony. "Adonai, existing beyond these realms, is the ineffable essence that permeates all. It is from this transcendent plane that Adonai shapes the very fabric of existence, orchestrating the dance of creation across the infinite tapestry of dimensions."

Samael interjected, their voice filled with curiosity. "Ein Sof, if Adonai exists outside of Atzilut, beyond all the dimensions and spaces we can fathom, how can we ever hope to comprehend his true nature?"

Ein Sof's eyes gleamed with a profound understanding. "Dear Samael, the true nature of Adonai is beyond human comprehension. It is not for mortals to grasp the totality of his being. However, what we can strive for is a glimpse, a fragment of understanding that allows us to appreciate the majesty and wonder of his creation."

Ariel, their heart filled with a mix of awe and determination, spoke softly. "So, our journey, as cosmic seekers, is not just about uncovering the mysteries of Adonai, but about expanding our own consciousness to embrace the boundless expanse of creation."

Ein Sof nodded, a gentle smile gracing their lips. "Precisely, Ariel. By embarking on this cosmic odyssey, you transcend the limitations of mortal perception. You become vessels for the infinite, channels through which the mysteries of existence are revealed."

And so, with renewed purpose, Ariel, Samael, and Ein Sof pressed on, their spirits alight with the desire to explore the uncharted realms beyond Atzilut. They traversed the ever-expanding corridors of existence, venturing into dimensions that defied logic and spaces that stretched beyond the reaches of imagination.

As they journeyed deeper, Ein Sof shared glimpses of the intricacies of each realm they encountered. They witnessed the ethereal landscapes of Briah, where thoughts manifested into tangible form, and the vibrant energies of Yetzirah, where emotions swirled and shaped reality.

Ariel marveled at the limitless possibilities that unfolded before them, as infinite dimensions interwove like a cosmic tapestry. Each encounter held a lesson, each revelation a stepping stone on their path toward greater understanding.

In their dialogues, Ein Sof expounded on the interconnectedness of all things, describing how even the smallest action in one realm could ripple across infinite dimensions. They explored the nature of time, how it flowed like a river through the vast landscape of existence, carrying the echoes of past, present, and future. And amidst these profound discussions, Ariel realized that their journey was not solely about comprehending the magnitude of Adonai, but about embracing their own divine essence. They discovered that within them resided a spark of the ineffable, a glimpse of the infinite that yearned to be explored.

The dialogue between Ariel, Samael, and Ein Sof became a symphony of knowledge and wonder, harmonizing the realms of thought and experience. Each revelation sparked new questions, fueling their insatiable thirst for understanding. And so, they ventured further, guided by the light of wisdom, their spirits intertwined in a dance of cosmic discovery. The journey was not without its challenges, as they encountered celestial beings and cosmic phenomena that tested their resolve. But with each trial, they grew stronger, their connection to the divine deepening.

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, Ariel, Samael, and Ein Sof forged ahead, their hearts filled with awe and reverence. They embraced the infinite dimensions, timelines, and spaces, knowing that within the boundless tapestry of creation, they were but a single thread, weaving their story into the grand design. And as they delved into the mysteries of Adonai, their understanding evolved. They grasped that Adonai, existing beyond the confines of mortal comprehension, was the embodiment of the limitless, the eternal force that shaped the very essence of existence.

Adonai, in His divine wisdom and omnipotence, summoned forth the magnificent cosmos into existence, deftly sculpting its majestic form from the primordial depths of absolute nothingness or the boundless expanse of the void. With His divine touch, He shaped the swirling galaxies, ignited the brilliant stars, and wove the intricate tapestry of celestial bodies, imbuing the vastness of space with purpose and order. From the abyss of nothingness, He breathed life into the universe, setting in motion the grand symphony of creation that continues to unfold with awe-inspiring beauty and wonder. Through His boundless power, Adonai transformed the void into a tapestry of existence, infusing it with the intricate complexities and divine harmony that permeate every corner of our awe-inspiring cosmos.

Adonai, demonstrably occupying the supreme ontological position within this axiomatic system. Adonai is ascribed a cognitive faculty exceeding any formalized notion of infinity, including absolute infinity. This concept of Transcendent knowledge defies encapsulation by human constructs of intelligence, genius, or empirical findings. It transcends all conceivable limitations of thought, encompassing both the knowable and the unknowable. Within this framework, a secondary stratum exists, comprised of entities designated by Adonai as primary servitors. These entities possess cognitive faculties demonstrably infinite in scope. However, by definition, their infinity is subsumed by the Transcendent knowledge of Adonai. Therefore, their access to information regarding Adonai is inherently limited, as their cognitive faculties are inherently incapable of grasping concepts exceeding absolute infinity.

Adonai is the axiomatic and transcendental ontological ground of all creation. Unbound by the dichotomies inherent to the physical universe, Adonai encompasses everything as a universal entity of pure wholeness, possessing all properties and attributes. He embodies the nature of "existence" itself, existing a priori to any conceivable cardinality. Even the endless process of continuous accumulation (גדֵלַ הַעֲרִימָה‎, Gimel Dela Ha'Arima), resulting in an ever-growing hierarchy without end, ultimately terminates at Adonai with absolute necessity. As the supremum being, He transcends all hierarchies and eternally reigns above everything.

An ineffable and omnipotent force, traditionally conceptualized as God, with different names for each tradition, is considered the ultimate source of all things and all that encompasses them. This entity, characterized by absolute perfection, possesses infinite knowledge and even more and for Him, there is no distance at all, He is the one who commands the universe in full, with His power being the absolute ruler. As the undisputed first cause, He serves as the logical explanation for the initiation of our universe, the impetus that drove the great machine. The universe, by its inherent nature, needs a starting point, and this divine entity serves as the final answer.

According to certain interpretations, God is not a separate entity, but rather the fundamental essence that sustains the existence of all things. In this view, we do not merely exist alongside God, but rather partake in an extension of the divine essence, which is "lent to us". We may wonder about how we can exist while God does not exist or all sorts of endless questions, the answer is only one "we are loaned God's essence to exist, otherwise, we are nonexistent".

This concept of divine entity has been the subject of much philosophical discourse. Notably, Anselm of Canterbury presented an ontological argument for the existence of God, stating the need for a supreme being characterized by absolute perfection. However, challenges have arisen, such as the "Stone Paradox", which relies on a false understanding of omnipotence. This paradox mistakenly equates omnipotence with the ability to do the logically impossible, such as creating an immovable rock and then lifting it up. Obviously, this is a reductionist interpretation. The concept of omnipotence goes beyond such limitations; it signifies a power far beyond physical things as we imagine lifting weights.

From the perspective of certain religions, this divine entity is an absolute and incomparable being. It exists independently of creation by virtue of its inherent perfection, and serves as the architect of the universe. Throughout history, this entity has communicated with humanity through prophets, messengers, and even declarations of divine will for various moral messages and warnings, such as the Great Flood of Noah's time. In essence, this entity embodies absolute power and perfection, standing as an unparalleled force in the cosmos. It serves as the absolute that defies negation. It is generally "One" and "indivisible into any nature".

By a single act of pure reason, the Unconditioned Being, existing outside the bounds of spatio-temporal experience, initiated a primordial cosmological expansion - an Eternal Inflation, one might posit. This power transcends the limitations of the human concept of infinity. Thus, in an instant outside of time, the totality of existence was brought forth. Even the differentiated realms of damnation and salvation, the weighing of deeds, the locus of potentialities (life-scenarios and death-scenarios), and all other phenomenal manifestations were established.

This primal act of creation can be likened to an ex nihilo eruption, a spontaneous emergence from a featureless void, akin to a desiccated seabed devoid of an origin, abruptly brimming with existence. The positing of this Supreme Being serves as a perpetual memento mori, a reminder of the eschaton, the final day when all things shall be rendered null and void. Yet, from this non-being, the virtuous shall be resurrected and ascend to a state of blessedness, while those who transgressed will descend into perdition. Both the righteous and the damned, along with their incorporeal essences, will be recreated anew.

This Unconditioned Being stands alone, an absolute and immutable unity. Its existence is not contingent upon our sensory faculties – sight, smell, hearing – which themselves constitute a facet of Its creation. Without this ultimate ground of Being, the very concept of "good" would be rendered vacuous, for It is the a priori condition of all possibility.

The proposition that a supreme being is the source of all existence finds expression within both revealed texts and philosophical discourse. The Tanakh, specifically Isaiah 40:26, and the Quranic text, particularly Al Anbiya verse 30, both allude to this concept. Thus, one may posit belief as arising from either the faculty of reason or from an act of faith, yet the ubiquity of this supreme being remains unaffected. The deliverance from a state of imperfection, often termed 'salvation,' cannot be attributed to mere happenstance, but rather to a preordained course of events – a 'Destiny,' if you will. The absence of such a preordained course would render the world a fundamentally contingent and fragile existence, devoid of the inherent order provided by Destiny. However, pronouncements by those adhering to a godless philosophy, such as the statement 'We believe in God, but not to worship Him,' reveal a fundamental misunderstanding.

The designation of the divine essence, insofar as it is conceived in relation to the human faculté de connaître [faculty of knowing], admits of a plurality of appellations. Not merely one or two, but rather a multitude, potentially extending into the hundreds, have been employed throughout the history of mankind. Yet, the question of the holiness inherent within that Being which is the postulated ground of all phenomenal existence transcends such nominal designations. It is the absolute and unconditioned reality, the summum bonum [highest good], which possesses the attributes of omnipotence and holiness in a manner surpassing all conceivable comprehension. While an enumeration of these appellations may be forthcoming, it must be recognized that such a catalog can never fully encompass the ineffable nature of the divine.

With every step, their perception of the cosmos expanded, their connection to the divine deepened. They reveled in the beauty of creation, marveling at the interplay of light and darkness, life and death, and the intricate balance that governed the cosmic symphony. And so, their cosmic journey continued, guided by the profound wisdom of Ein Sof, fueled by the insatiable thirst for truth. They danced through dimensions, transcending the boundaries of thought and matter, seeking to unravel the secrets that lay hidden in the fabric of the universe.

Adonai's existence and body size presence extends far beyond dan bigger than the realms of Atzilut, Briah, and the two other realms, surpassing the comprehension of those who dare to venture into his dimension. Any attempts to ascend his unfathomable realm are destined to end in failure, for it exists in a dimension that defies easy understanding and surpasses the limitations of mortal perception.

As Ariel contemplated the magnitude of Adonai's being, he turned to Samael, his voice filled with a mix of awe and caution. "Samael, it is said that Adonai's dimension is unlike anything we can conceive. It stretches beyond the bounds of our understanding, transcending the limitations of mortal perception. Those who dare to climb his dimension, to reach for his magnitude, will only find themselves falling short, unable to grasp its immense complexity."

Samael furrowed his brow, a sense of trepidation creeping into his voice. "So, you're saying that even if we strive to comprehend Adonai's dimension, we will inevitably fail? It's as if the very nature of his existence eludes our grasp."

Ariel nodded, his eyes filled with a mix of reverence and caution. "Indeed, my friend. Adonai's dimension is a realm of unfathomable depth, beyond the reach of mortal comprehension. It is a place where our feeble attempts to ascend his magnitude are met with humbling defeat. It is a reminder of our limitations as beings unbound by time and space but still not comparable, because Adonai's dimension cannot be climbed."

Samael sighed, his voice tinged with both resignation and curiosity. "Then, what is the purpose of even contemplating Adonai's dimension if we can never truly understand it? Are we simply left in a perpetual state of longing and uncertainty?"

Ariel placed a reassuring hand on Samael's shoulder, his gaze steady and determined. "While we may not fully comprehend Adonai's dimension, it is in our pursuit of understanding that we grow and evolve. It is through our humble attempts to grasp the ungraspable that we expand our own perceptions and deepen our connection with the divine. It is a journey of spiritual growth rather than a destination of absolute comprehension."

Samael nodded, a mix of determination and acceptance flickering in his eyes. "So, we must continue to explore, to seek glimpses of Adonai's magnitude, even if we may never fully comprehend it. Our pursuit is not in vain, for it is in the quest itself that we uncover profound truths about ourselves and the world we inhabit."

Ariel smiled, his voice filled with conviction. "Exactly, my friend. It is through our relentless curiosity and unwavering determination that we inch closer to the divine, even if we can never fully reach its entirety. Our journey is one of growth, enlightenment, and a deepening connection with Adonai's infinite essence."

"Hear, Ariel, a memory hath come upon me concerning the message delivered by Ein Sof. It did arrive in the form of knowledge most obscure."

"Inquirest thou the nature of it?" quoth Samael.

"Verily, thou art familiar with the personage of Belisarius, the last warrior of Rome, art thou not? He is held by some to be a Unitarian, and thus, by such a tenet, is believed to be exempt from the strictures of the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. It is further held that he, though he is subordinate to Mehmed the Second, also known as Fatih the Conqueror, and proving himself a most excellent man of war, now resides within the Third Realm. There, he possesses the power to contend with, and even to counteract the power of abstract beings that dwell within that sphere. For it is known that such abstract beings do indeed exist within the Third Realm, and are capable of sharing their potent abilities one with another."

Verily, Ariel inquire to Samael. "Whither have these beings gone? Why are they absent from our sight?"

"Hearest thou, Ariel?" responded Samael. "Their celerity surpasses that of time itself, outpacing the swiftness of light, gravity, and all other known forces. No one time means of perception can hope to detect them, for they exist beyond the confines of ordinary existence."

And so, with hearts brimming with both humility and boundless curiosity, Ariel and Samael embarked on a quest to explore the fringes of Adonai's dimension, knowing that while they may never grasp its full extent, their souls would be enriched by the very pursuit of understanding the incomprehensible.

A prodigy of war, Sultan Mehmed II, ascended the Ottoman throne at a tender age, his heart already set on a singular ambition: the capture of Constantinople. This seemingly impregnable city, a jewel in the crown of the Eastern Roman Empire, had defied countless conquerors for centuries. Yet, fueled by a relentless drive and a keen strategic mind, Mehmed II, barely past his twenty-first year, devised a revolutionary weapon. A Hungarian engineer named Orban, renowned for his ingenuity, crafted a monstrous cannon capable of breaching the city's formidable walls. This innovation proved decisive. Mehmed II's relentless bombardment shattered the supposedly invincible defenses, crumbling millennia of defiance. He thus became not only the conqueror of Constantinople, but the first and only one to breach its legendary fortifications, fulfilling, some whispered, an ancient prophecy attributed to the Prophet Muhammad himself: "Constantinople will indeed be conquered. The best amir (caliph) is the amir (caliph) who leads its conquest and the best army is the army that conquers it." (Hadith Bukhari, Ahmad, and Al-Hakim).

In stark contrast to the ambitious sultan stood Belisarius, a beacon of military brilliance within the waning Eastern Roman Empire. Revered as one of history's most accomplished generals, Belisarius led the Roman legions to a string of remarkable victories. From the sprawling might of the Persian Empire to the barbarian hordes of the Ostrogoths and Vandals, no foe seemed insurmountable under his command. His most celebrated triumph was the swift reconquest of North Africa from the Vandal usurpers in 533-534 AD. This audacious campaign restored vast swathes of territory lost to the empire for over a century, a testament to Belisarius's tactical prowess and unwavering leadership. While his religious beliefs remain a subject of debate, with some questioning his adherence to Unitarianism, there is no denying Belisarius's unwavering faith in a singular God and there are even those who strongly believe that Belisarius recognized Jesus as a person with strong prophetic signs, he recognized Jesus as the Messiah and Prophet.

To be continued...
