Kapitel 83:  RESOLUTION

MONDAY, 20TH OCTOBER 1192 AD - Jerusalem, 

Yosef knelt on the floor of his room in the Templar accommodation. His hands were clasped before him as he winded down his lengthy prayer session. His knees on the carpet were now numb from all the kneeling. But, he didn't pay it much attention. He believed that there was no gain without suffering if his knees did not ache from kneeling. Then he was not praying seriously as he should.

His mind was clouded by the images and scenes he saw in the vision while in Jesus' tomb. In the course of the night. Sleep deserted him as he thought about what he had heard at the end of the vision.

The words that were echoed by the elements in his vision, left him worried and yet somehow relieved. All the words he remembered vividly as they echoed in the depth of his soul. 

"The world and its fullness,

Belongs to God and his goodness,

To men he shows his mercy,

From men, he asks for obedience
