Читать книгу The 13th Apostle - Richard Heller - Страница 6

Among the most sacred of texts it is written:

In each generation there are born thirty-six

righteous souls who, by their very existence,

assure the continuation of the world.

According to Abraham’s Covenant, once each

millennium, God shall return to earth and count

among the many, those who remain righteous.

Were it not for these tzaddikim, the righteous ones,

who stand in God’s judgment, mankind’s fate would

be in grave and certain peril.

These tzaddikim have no knowledge of each other;

neither have they an understanding of their own

singular importance. As innocents, they remain

unaware of the critical consequences of their

thoughts, their faith, and their deeds.

Save for one.

To this tzaddik alone, is the granted knowledge

of his position, for to him is entrusted the

most sacred of tasks.
