Fall from Grace Was Almost Suicidal for Mankind

To understand the drama of Knights Templar, you must understand the drama of the Ark of the Covenant. To understand the drama of the Ark of the Covenant, you have to understand the drama of Jewish people – and of the whole human history.

Starting, of course, with the drama (grandiose drama, as it turned out) of Fall from Grace. The fall that became (almost) suicidal for human race.

Fall from Grace (Fall of Man, Fall of Adam, or simply The Fall) refers to a genuinely catastrophic (and almost instant) transition – “negative quantum leap” – of the whole human race (God simultaneously created many thousands of human beings) from the State of Grace to (almost) complete lack of thereof.

At first (right after their creation by God), Adam and Eve – in reality many thousands of human beings lived in what the Bible calls Garden of Eden in the fullness of Divine Grace (spiritual energy vital for very survival of a human being).

Apparently, they succumbed to some temptation (portrayed in Genesis as a proverbial serpent) and were expelled from the Garden of Eden… and thus from Divine Grace.

In practical terms, it meant that with each consecutive generation, the “energy channel” of Divine Grace that connected humans to God gradually became weaker and weaker and weaker (which in Genesis is reflected by every next life being shorter than the previous).

Until this (original) energy channel got so weak that the amount of Divine Grace received by every human on Earth got critically low. Which brought the whole humankind dangerously close to extinction. Self-inflicted extinction, to be honest.

God was committed to prevent it from happening (i.e., to save humankind – it would not be the last time) … so He had to create the “replacement energy channel” of Divine Grace.

Apparently, at the time it was possible only by making a certain nation (tribe, actually) His Chosen People – and use them as the conduit of Divine Grace. For reasons still unknown, he chose the tribe led by chieftain by the name of Abram.

Who subsequently became Abraham – patriarch of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam and the founding father of the special relationship between God and the Jews. 

God’s Chosen People.
