Saturday we were able to see an exhibit of some of the Terra Cotta Warriors at the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana. It was very interesting to see the great detail that China's first emperor employed to furnish his burial chamber.
China's First Emperor, the boy king who united the country in 221 BC and began construction of the first Great wall, was not only obsessed with building but also a fanatic about death. After experimenting with potions to prolong his life, the megalomaniac king resigned himself to death on his own terms. He would build a standing army of 7,000 soldiers to enforce his rule over the afterlife. I thank Jesus that our afterlife is secure in Him.
