My characters are having a discussion and a god walks in - this is obviously just a paragraph
“We see the same symbolism over and over again,” Horatio replied emboldened by the direction of the conversation, “The Hebraic mysticism of the Merkabah vision of Ezekiel, for instance is the same as the Christian apocalyptic vision of St. John." He walked over to join us, "Both of these visions are images of the Shekinah or Glory of the Divine Immanence riding in an incandescent chariot of flames." He looked up, challenging us, to understand, "They are both drawn with the same four Angelic Beasts, the Man, the Lion, the Ox and the Eagle, the emblems of the Patriarchal Blessing," No one said anything so he continued, "They were later borne on the standards of the four leading tribes who ruled in the South, East, West and North, during the Exodus” Horatio knew his stuff and left his words as an open ended question.
“‘So what is your point?” Balam asked. “It is not often you get a chance to talk with a god,” he was very amiable, “so while you have my interest better make the most of it.”
“The progress of Creation, has reached a boundary of purpose, and the Free Will accorded by the Creator to His human creature, now begins the steep and arduous return journey, back into the Fount of Life and Knowledge,” Horatio paused for effect, he really had his game on, I was impressed,he showed no fear in discussing issues with Balam. “from whence it sprang originally.” He finished as a coup de grace. “So I think my point, is that we are seeing everything repeated, and the qestion is why?”
