God and the ancient Chinese Essay

I have read the whole book and understand the whole concept. According to the Book of Isaiah, the Chinese people were mentioned in the Prophecy. They were known as Sinim. When the Chinese Empire was outgrowth established it was first form under immortals law. divinity fudge was with each of the 4 dynasties. God chose each world-beater for each dynasty if one King has failed to keep Gods Commandment. He would raise up a new King to thrash over the old King. China was established by two legendary rulers. Their names were Yao and Shun. They worship the God of Noah and through the Chinese Classics.It was believed that Yao and Shun witness the bulky flood. During the time of Babel God confused the people language. Yao and Shun formed a similar language group and traveled from Mesopotamia to Sinim according to Gods will. In the Chinese classic there were some similar accounts to the Bible story. For example Boat, Eight, People. We could Understand that the Chinese classics was referr ing to the story of Noahs Ark. During the Qin Dynasty, King Qin Shi Huangdi prepared a feast for the Chinese Scholars. The feast was to bring all the scholars in one place so the King could punish them.The King was repeal that the Scholars were not instruction the Chinese children present teaching instead they taught the past teaching. He asked advices from his Prime Minister. Li Si, the Prime Minister was against the teaching of Shangdi (God). Therefore, he rede the King to burn all the Chinese classics writing. Most of the writing were gather in one place and pile up and burnt. Fortunately, there were some Scholars who had hid away(predicate) the book of Confucius so it could be read by younger generation. Some of these writing still exist to these days. There are Chinese sages that were compared to the Biblical characters.I will illustrate four Sages. Mencius was one of the Sages. He had an amazing prophecy about the King. This King is no ordinary earthly King. He is the Heav enly King. He prophesied that 500 or more years will another King rule according to Gods will. Like worth, Daniels prophecy was similarly Mencius. Tang was a minister during a dynasty. He was compared to Joseph. Tang was appointed to gather grains and foods for the kingdom to supplies foods for the people to survive during the seven years drought. Pen Gen was chosen by Shangdi (God) to lead the people from the Shang Dynasty to the land that was chosen for them by God.He was compared to Moses, who led the Israelites across the Red Sea from Egypt. Lao Zi was a promising Chinese Sage. No one knows for sure who he was or what rearwardsground he came from. He was compared to John the Baptist because he went to make way for the Great Dao God. All the consequence had happened simultaneously after one another and synchronous to the Biblical events. Both the Chinese Classics and the Bible contain the Seventh-Day as the day of rest. The early King had unploughed this commandment. On the seventh-day, the whole kingdom was to rest. The merchants and workers were to close their stall.The kingdom main gate was to be close on the seventh-day so no businesses would continue working. God had pose the law for the Chinese to live by and it was the Chineses duty to follow it. The Chinese Classics also talks about the sacrifice to Shangdi. After the first deception, men were to offer lamp to Shangdi. There is a pictograph showing a man and a woman offering their sacrifice. The sacrifice is call, Border Sacrifice which was done in the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. God might have chosen the Chinese Sages to tell the people to come to God. Confucius was a messenger of Dao (God).He dog-tired most of his life teaching about the Dao. In the book of Yi Jing which was written by Confucius contained the redemption Plans of God. During the year, Chinese Sages disjointed track of Gods teaching and new faiths began to come into the country. Therefore, the Chinese begin to worship ido ls and believing in sinful rituals. The true Dao God was lost and when the Dao come again he will assess them fairly according to their sins. I have studied Church History about Christianity in China and I was really impressed how far back Christianity begins in China. My first impression on china before studying about the history was just broad.I thought their very first religion was Tao or Buddhist but Tao Dao God was the teaching of God but as times passes by the true teaching of God have been lost with it. Buddhism later influences the false teaching. I would have never thought after the Tower of Babel, the Chinese Dynasty would rise up as well. I am defeated with this book because it was focusing too much on the Chinese Classics and the prophecy. Some of the Classics are riddle which is hard to understand. When I was studying Church History, the teacher would show us some statues and sculptors that have similar account to the Bible Story.From my perspective, I would love to s ee more statues or pictures rather than riddle which I foott even understand. This is the third book I have read that is related to china and by far the most details related to Christianity in China. I have continuously been interested in the history of china and this last book really shed some light for me about Gods love. Most of the events happen almost simultaneously with each other. One last history facts that really shock me is the belief of Confucius. I have always known him as one of the great Chinese Sage but he was more of the messenger of God prophet in China and he was a Christian.
