"A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho" - Republicans Accompanied by Democrats after the Great Flood

Republicans Accompanied by Democrats after the Great Flood

According to a Jewish story, when Noah built a big ship to save animals from a big flood and invited many and various kinds to the ship, there came a spirit of goodness.

But Noah stopped the spirit, saying, "You need a partner."  Then the spirit of goodness left Noah and again returned to Noah with a spirit of evil.  Noah accepted the pair finally.  Since then, goodness has been always accompanied by evil in the world after the great flood.

Rather, accordingly, we may imagine that when the God built a big ship to save living things from a big flood and invited many and various kinds, there came two men.  One named Adam had a wife named Eve, but another man had no wife.  So, the God stopped the lonely man and told to come with his partner.  The man left the God and again returned to the God with a virus, saying that Eve might give birth to children for Adam, but my virus could help them evolve by working on their DNA.  So, the God let the man and the virus into the ship.  Since then, the mankind has to be accompanied by viruses.   

In other words, human goodness has been refined and exalted through its fight against evil.  A good man can be further better and enrich content of his goodness by more understanding and fighting evil.

In addition, it is thought viruses have affected human genes through millions of years.

"About 8 percent of human DNA comes from viruses inserted into our genomes in the distant past, in many cases into the genomes of our pre-human ancestors millions of years ago.

Most of these viral genes come from retroviruses, RNA viruses that insert DNA copies of their own genes into our genomes when they infect cells." (https://newsroom.uw.edu/news/genes-%E2%80%98fossil%E2%80%99-virus-human-dna-found-be-active#:~:text=About%208%20percent%20of%20human,genomes%20when%20they%20infect%20cells.)

In this context, it cannot be Satan that has caused this corona-pandemic but rather the Angel of Death who follows the order of the God to punish the mankind who have built this rotten and corrupt material civilization.

What's more horrible, there is a possibility that new viruses might appear with the ability to change our genes without causing our suspicion.  One day, we may find that people around us have different genes and accordingly change their physical properties for good or bad.  And, in the worst case, the mankind go extinct due to the new genes implanted into DNA by viruses.

However, there is no assurance that the mankind can still go on in the world without viruses.

Probably, the ancient Jewish people must have thought that to let goodness and virtue live and develop, we have to always watch, observe, and learn from evil.

Nonetheless, when Christ Jesus was betrayed and executed, the role of evil should have been manifested, since the incident resulted in establishment of Christianity.

So, accordingly, we may imagine that when Noah built a big ship to save animals from a big flood and invited many and various kinds to the ship, there came a man to be the ancestor of American Republicans.  But Noah stopped the man, saying, "You need a partner."  Then the man left Noah and again returned to Noah with a woman to be the ancestor of American Democrats.  Since then, Republicans have been always accompanied by Democrats after the great flood in America to date.

Luke 10    King James Version
30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
