The Scriptures were never told this way. They were never known this way. Literally poetic in every form. Literally spoken in the language of the people. That's why it spread like wild fire. The people knew the language. They knew the stories would surround something. They had an idea. They had an hint of the ideologies. This was the Scriptures. Yes the people heard about great gods and goddresses but who would have thought of one god. These radical ideas were delivered by simple poetry. They were delivered by eloquent words. They were delivered by fire burning preachers. They were delivered by ordinary men and women with a mission to change the world. This was not just a fad. This was not just a moment. This was not just a time of sympathy. It was great enlightenment. It was great exploration. It was revolutionary. People weren't fighting as much. People weren't interested in war that much. People weren't infaturated with violence. They were ready to learn. They were ready to hear. They were ready to listen. It was the age of knowledgement. It was the age of advancement. People had many motives. People had desired to know what others have known. They were interested in culture. They were interested in rituals. They were interested in the world. And the Scriptures made known these influences debating Greeks' theologies and ruffing Roman governance. It terrified the rulers that knowledge was being spread and people especially those in boundage were advancing and changing the world. And they proclaimed no right to the knowledge, they only stated that they known the truth. So they could not contained them with their prisons. They could not contained with execution. How could they proclaim peace among their many provinces with violence? This paradox blow the Roman Empire apart. The very Scriptures weakened its grip on the world. The very Scriptures created a new kingdom that did not rely on dictatorship and tyranny. It was said that Messaic kingdom, where there is a unity where everyone matters where freedom will be respected. This has morph the world's governance and the world's views. The Scriptures time and time again have evolved the world's thinking with powerful men and women in power who lean toward their moral and religious belief to appease their people and the standard which was given. The Scriptures have shaped this world. The Scriptures have change history. It is only now we are beginning to uproot the very influence the Scriptures have on our commodities, our way of living and our known traditions.There is no better time than now than to understand the unforeseen. There is no better time than now to rationalize the untold. It is our duty to continue analyze the impact of the Scriptures, historically. They are moving and uplifting and lifechanging. Constantly as the number one book in the world for hundreds of years. We must strive to understand its influence and its driving force on our daily lives. We must learn to deal with its messages throughout our lives. We must learn to apply careful understanding and exact perception of its meaning. We must know the connotations that it leaves on the world we now know. We must try to fight for true paradim. True paradim comes from seeing and perceiving the inevitable and being prepared for the notions.It takes constant studying and constant open mindness. A daily habit of learning by sensing physically and spiritually and morally. We must learn to not be offended and understand the historical context. We must break through the modern norms and take a journey into the unrealized past then we can see the major and profound influences and recognized the truth.
