Vengeance is not our's...it's God's
Alms… alms…alms. Spare me a piece of bread. Spare me your mercy. I am a child so young, so thin, and so ragged. Why are you staring at me? With my eyes I cannot see but I know that you are all staring at me. Why are you whispering to one another? Why? Do you know my mother? Do you know my father? Did you know me five years ago?
Yes, five years of bitterness have passed. I can still remember the vast happiness mother and I shared with each other. We were very happy indeed.
Suddenly, five loud knocks were heard on the door and a deep silence ensued. Did the cruel Nippon's discover our peaceful home? Mother ran to Father's side pleading. "Please, Luis, hide in the cellar, there in the cellar where they cannot find you," I pulled my father's arm but he did not move. It seemed as though his feet were glued to the floor.
The door went "bang" and before us five ugly beasts came barging in. "Are you Captain Luis Santos?" roared the ugliest of them all. "Yes," said my father. "You are under arrest," said one of the beasts. They pulled father roughly away from us. Father was not given a chance to bid us goodbye.
We followed them mile after mile. We were hungry and thirsty. We saw group of Japanese eating. Oh, how our mouths watered seeing the delicious fruits they were eating,
Then suddenly, we heard a voice call, "Consuelo. . . . Oscar. . . . Consuelo. . . . Oscar. . . .Consuelo. . . . Oscar. . . ." we ran towards the direction of the voice, but it was too late. We saw father hanging on a tree. . . . dead. Oh, it was terrible. He had been badly beaten before he died. . . . and I cried vengeance, vengeance, vengeance! Everything went black. The next thing I knew I was nursing my poor invalid mother.
One day, we heard the church bell ringing "ding-dong, ding-dong!" It was a sign for us to find a shelter in our hide-out, but I could not leave my invalid mother, I tried to show her the way to the hide-out.
Suddenly, bombs started falling; airplanes were roaring overhead, canyons were firing from everywhere. "Boom, boom, boom, boom!" Mother was hit. Her legs were shattered into pieces. I took her gently in my arms and cried, "I'll have vengeance, vengeance!" "No, Oscar. Vengeance, it's God's," said mother.
But I cried out vengeance. I was like a pent-up volcano. "Vengeance is mine not the Lord's". "No, Oscar. Vengeance is not ours, it's God's" these were the words from my mother before she died.
Mother was dead and I was blind. Vengeance is not ours? To forgive is divine but vengeance is sweeter. That was five years ago, five years. . . .
Alms, alms, alms. Spare me a piece of bread. Spare me your mercy. I am a child so young, so thin, and so ragged. Vengeance is not ours, it's God's. . . . It's. . . . God's. . It's…

Blood and Sand Gods of the Arena Vengeance
Geronimo Sicam
Basically, the gods would seek vengeance on their enemies before they would kill them.
Its a piece or pieces of wait for it...jewls and these particular jewels are made for gods/goddess's

Prophets are predestinated for a specific purpose. They are Gods mouth piece,
Erich von Däniken's book was entitled '' Chariots of the Gods ? '' , published in 1968.
To obey the ten commandments, but really, in my opinion, he doesn't exist, but you're entitled to your own. Plus it does depend on which God you're talking about.
greek gods look down on greece. the people believed that if you made the gods angry you would die. if you were a greek god you would be imortal. greek gods could shape shift in one piece of mythology the god zeus turned himself into a bull. in another piece he turned the sea nymph Io into a beautiful white cow. greek gods had temples and alters. at the alter something would be sacrificed to that god. gods also had many,many statues built in their honor.
The Virgin Mary is not entitled as Annunciation. The Annunciation was an event which occurred in her life. The Annunciation was when the angle Gabriel appeared to her and told her that God wanted her to be the mother of his only son Jesus. Mary accepted Gods Holy Will and had a son which she conceived through the Holy Spirit
Nemesis was the greek goddess of vengeance, and she was attended by Poena, the goddess of punishment, sometimes called Poine. She governed retribution, vengeance, recompense, punishment and penalies for crimes such as murder.Nemesis was goddess of retribution against or for good fortune. Tyche (luck/fortune) was a companion of hers.
As a good luck charm and for religious ceremonies. And to appease the anger of their gods.
