The Great Universal Crusade (in Spanish, La Gran Cruzada Universal) is a fantasy novel written by Colombian author Felipe Chavarro Polanía in 2018. The first installment of the series bears the same name. The novel is characterised by its medieval Christian aesthetic, the depiction of numerous well-detailed biblical characters, the contrasting points of view of multiple characters, its plot with unexpected twists and turns, and a subtle and restrained use of the spiritual aspects so common in other allegorical Christian fantasy works.

Plot[edit]

The Great Universal Crusade follows three main plot lines at the same time.

The origin of the battle between the three kingdoms[edit]

"All the accumulated knowledge, all the scholarly theories and all the accumulation of popular tales, Judaic and Christian legends, are gathered here in a chronicle that begins with the Antediluvian Flood Age and continues through the Age of the Age of Giants, Nephilim, Titans, and the appearance of the first hybrid men, the coming of the Flood and the judgement, the punishment of the hybrid beings, establishment of the Kingdom of Israel, the Rebellion of Man and the repeated incursions of supernatural beings into the history of mankind". Furthermore, we can assert that "All these events are described as the main triggers of the decay of human nature, which was once created to rule over all creation".

The book clearly shows the reasons for the beginning of the great universal crusade, and the battle that raged in the Garden of Eden, when our first parents Adam and Eve were deceived by Satan. Often the author refers to different sources of literature, but only in order to exalt the author and consummator of the Christian Faith, and to further enliven the narrative. In the end, a conclusion jumps out. "All the events that envelop mankind are originated with only one end in view, the perdition of souls."

In summary the three kingdoms described by the author are:

1. The kingdom of God. Only attained through Christ. Yahshua.

2. The Kingdom of Man. The earth or Cosmos, subjugated under the might of the new ruler.

3. The Kingdom of Darkness. Whose principal representative is Lucifer.

The Christian's Pilgrimage[edit]

The fierce struggle of the believer against the three fundamental enemies: The world, sin and the Devil. The book clearly describes the different spiritual influences to which every believer is subjected, as well as the true origin of evil, always having the Holy Scriptures as the only source. Clearly the author seeks to give prominence to the scriptures through descriptions of daily life and the continuous struggles that the characters are confronted with.

Although the work develops in a very different way to Pilgrim's Progress written by John Bunyan, the early influence that this work had on the author of the SAGA is evident.

The importance of relationship with Christ for salvation[edit]

In its pages the author shows the importance of a continuous relationship with Christ in order to receive the necessary direction to reach the goal. In the book you can experience the importance of the sacred writings of the Word of God to obtain the victory through examples from the daily life of the characters. In addition, within the different scenarios that the characters of the saga face, the author's intention to exalt the Bible as the word of God revealed to human beings and which contains teachings and principles that must be followed in order to live according to God's will can be seen. On the other hand, one can also observe strong contrasts that seek to teach the readers that the Torah and other books of the Biblical compendium must be used in all cases as the only source of orientation and guidance.^[1]

Fictional setting[edit]

The novel takes place in a fantasy world reminiscent of Africa in the Middle Ages, where magic and mythical creatures seem to have been forgotten, but return to threaten the stability of the region. The first instalments are set on the African continent.

Fantastic Characters[edit]

The Rephaim

The Rephaim were a people or tribe of tall stature whose origin and meaning are uncertain. It is thought that their name may derive from Rafah, a man of whom they were descended. The Rephaim lived east of the Dead Sea and were displaced by the Moabites and Ammonites, who called them Emim and Zamzumim, respectively. The Rephaim also inhabited Bashan, east of the Jordan, and were defeated by the king of Elam, Kedorlaomer, and by the Israelites when they entered Canaan. It is possible that Og, the last king of Bashan, was the last king of the Rephaim or the last Rephaim of that region, but there are also mentions of Rephaim west of the Jordan at a later time.^[2] The Rephaim are mentioned in the Bible on several occasions, mainly in the Old Testament. In the book of Deuteronomy, the Rephaim are mentioned as a tribe of giants who lived in Bashan, east of the Jordan. The Moabites called them Emim and the Ammonites called them Zamzumim. The king of Elam, Kedorlaomer, is said to have defeated the Rephaim at Asteroth-qarnaim and the Israelites later defeated Og, the last king of Bashan and the last "remnant of the Rephaim". In the book of Joshua, the Rephaim are mentioned as dwelling in the mountains of Seir, east of the Jordan. The Edomites, a people descended from Jacob's brother Esau, were also known as the Rephaim. The Rephaim are also mentioned in the Book of Samuel, where it is said that there was a race of giants called Rephaim, possibly descended from Rafah.^[3]

It is difficult to be certain who the Rephaim were and where they came from. Some scholars believe they may have been a tribe of giants, while others argue that they may have been a tribe of warriors or priests. Some also suggest that the term 'Rephaim' may be a Hebrew word meaning 'giants'. In any case, the Rephaim are mentioned in the Bible as a powerful and feared people, but little else is known about them.^[4]

THE Nephilim

The Nephilim were violent giants with superhuman strength. According to the Bible, they were the children of evil angels who married human women at the time of Noah. The Nephilim were hybrid creatures and intimidated others with their violence. They are described as "the mighty ones of old, the men of fame" and left a legacy of violence and fear. The Nephilim are mentioned in the Bible in the book of Genesis, chapter 6. According to this account, the "sons of the true God" became interested in the daughters of men and intermarried with them, giving rise to hybrid creatures called Nephilim. These nephilim were giants with superhuman strength who filled the earth with violence.^[5]

The word "nephilim" comes from Hebrew and means "giants". Some scholars interpret this word as "the fallen ones", since the Nephilim were descendants of spirit beings who rebelled against God and abandoned their dwelling place in heaven.

In the book of Numbers, chapter 13, it is mentioned that the Israelites sent a group of spies to Canaan to explore the Promised Land. The spies reported that there were giants in the land, whom they called nephilim. These nephilim intimidated the spies and made them feel like "locusts" compared to them.

Although the nephilim are mentioned in the Bible, not much else is known about them. Some scholars believe they may be a tribe of giants or warriors, while others argue that they may be a legend or an exaggeration of reality. In any case, the Bible describes the Nephilim as feared and violent creatures.

The Anaquitas

The Anakim were inhabitants of Hebron and its environs at the time of the conquest of Canaan by the Israelites. They are described as giants and are mentioned in the Bible as sons of Anak. The Moabites called them Emites. The Bible mentions that Judah fought against the Canaanites at Hebron, defeating Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai, who were sons of Anak. The name Anakim could be an appellative meaning "people of the necklaces".^[6]

The Anakim are mentioned several times in the Bible, mainly in the book of Deuteronomy and the book of Judges. In the book of Deuteronomy, it is mentioned that the Anakim were giants who lived in and around Hebron. The Moabites called them Emites.

In the book of Judges, it is related that Judah fought against the Canaanites in Hebron and defeated Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai, who were the sons of Anak. Hebron is said to have been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt, suggesting that the Anakim were an ancient and powerful tribe.

The name Anakim comes from the Hebrew and may be an appellative meaning 'people of the necklaces'. Some scholars believe that the Anakim may be a tribe of giants or warriors, while others argue that they may be a legend or an exaggeration of reality. In either case, the Bible describes the Anakim as a feared and powerful tribe.

The Giborim

The Giborim are mentioned in the Bible in the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 2. According to this account, the Giborim were a tribe of giants who inhabited the territory of Bashan, east of the Jordan. The Moabites called them Emites and the Ammonites called them Zamzumim.

Not much else is known about the Giborim. Some scholars believe they may be a tribe of giants or warriors, while others argue that they may be a legend or an exaggeration of reality. In either case, the Bible describes the Giborim as a feared and powerful tribe. It is possible that the Giborim are synonymous with the Rephaim, mentioned elsewhere in the Bible.^[7]

The Zuzim

The Zuzim are mentioned in the Bible in the book of Genesis, chapter 14. According to this account, the Zuzim were a tribe of giants who inhabited the region of Ham, east of the Jordan. They were defeated by the king of Elam, Kedorlaomer, and his allies when they went west to fight five rebellious kings near the Dead Sea.

Not much else is known about the Zuzim. Some scholars believe they may be a tribe of giants or warriors, while others argue that they may be a legend or an exaggeration of reality. In either case, the Bible describes the Zuzim as a feared and powerful tribe. It is possible that the Zuzim are synonymous with the Rephaim, mentioned elsewhere in the Bible.

The Emin

The Emin are mentioned in the Bible in the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 2. According to this account, the Emin were a tribe of giants who inhabited the territory of Bashan, east of the Jordan. They were called Emites by the Moabites and Zamzumim by the Ammonites.

Not much else is known about the Emin. Some scholars believe they may be a tribe of giants or warriors, while others argue that they may be a legend or an exaggeration of reality. In any case, the Bible describes the Emin as a feared and powerful tribe. It is possible that the Emin are synonymous with the Rephaim, mentioned elsewhere in the Bible. It is possible that the Rephaim, Anakim, Zuzim and Emin are synonyms or variants of the same people or tribe. Some scholars believe that they may be different names or translations of the same term, while others argue that they may be different peoples or tribes with similar characteristics.

Werewolves

Werewolves are a figure from folklore and popular mythology that has been used throughout history to represent supernatural beings who have the ability to transform into wolves. In some legends, these werewolves transform voluntarily, while in others they are victims of a curse or a disease that forces them to turn into wolves during the night or in times of stress or danger.

Werewolves have been depicted in different ways in different cultures and times. In some stories, they are dangerous, bloodthirsty beings who attack people; in others, they are lonely, sad beings who struggle to control their transformations. Some legends also include werewolves or hybrid beings that have both human and wolf characteristics.

Although werewolves are a popular figure in folklore and mythology, it is important to note that there is no scientific proof of their existence and they are considered a creation of the popular imagination. The idea of werewolves has been used in numerous films, books and television series over the years, and remains a popular figure in popular culture.

The Vampires

Vampires are a figure from folklore and popular mythology that have been used throughout history to represent supernatural beings that feed on the blood of humans. In some legends, vampires are dead beings who have been resurrected by a curse or dark magic and must drink blood to stay alive. In other legends, vampires are living beings who have been cursed or have acquired supernatural powers and have chosen to feed on the blood of others.

Vampires have been depicted in different ways in different cultures and times. In some stories, they are dangerous, bloodthirsty beings who attack people; in others, they are lonely, sad beings who struggle to control their instincts. Some legends also include vampires who are human-like and can move among humans undetected.

Although vampires are a popular figure in folklore and mythology, it is important to note that there is no scientific proof of their existence and they are considered a creation of the popular imagination. The idea of vampires has been used in numerous films, books and television series over the years, and continues to be a popular figure in popular culture.

Although vampires are a fictional figure, it is important to remember that violence and aggression are not acceptable behaviour in real life and should be condemned and prevented. Furthermore, it is important to keep in mind that violence and abuse of any kind are serious problems that need to be addressed in a serious and responsible manner.

Sorcerers

In the Bible, sorcerers are people who are engaged in the practice of magic and divination, and who use supernatural means to try to predict the future, influence the course of events or obtain hidden information. In the Bible, sorcerers are mentioned in various contexts and are often considered negative characters.^[8]

Here are some examples of sorcerers mentioned in the Bible:

In the Old Testament, Egyptian sorcerers are mentioned as trying to compete with Moses and Aaron during the plague of Egypt (Exodus 7:11). There is also mention of sorcerers following Jeroboam, Israel's first king, and attempting to influence his rule (2 Kings 17:17).

In the New Testament, there is mention of a woman who was engaged in divination being driven out of the city of Philippi by the apostle Paul (Acts 16:16-18). There is also mention of a man who was considered a magician and who converted to Christianity after meeting the apostle Peter (Acts 8:9-25).

In general, the Bible condemns the practice of magic and divination, and regards sorcerers as people who turn away from God and His teachings.

THE Sheidim

Sheidim are supernatural beings mentioned in Jewish literature and in some Jewish mystical traditions. In general, sheidim are described as evil spirits or demons who try to deceive people and lead them to evil. Sheidim are mentioned in some Jewish sources such as the Torah, the Talmud and the Zohar.^[9]

In some Jewish traditions, sheidim are considered to be beings that dwell in the shadow world and have the ability to take human or animal form. Some believe that sheidim are responsible for mystical dreams and visions, and that they can be invoked for information or to perform miracles. However, it is also said that sheidim are dangerous and can drive people to evil or insanity.

In Jewish tradition, it is believed that sheidim can be conjured by means of certain mystical practices, such as the invocation of certain names or magical formulas. However, these practices are forbidden by many Jewish schools of thought, as they are considered dangerous and contrary to the tenets of the Jewish faith.

Sheidim are not explicitly mentioned in the Christian Bible, as they are a belief and term found mainly in Jewish literature and in some Jewish mystical traditions. However, there are some references in the Bible that could be related to sheidim or similar supernatural beings.

For example, the Bible mentions demons or evil spirits that inhabit the spirit world and can possess or influence people. In the New Testament, Jesus and his disciples perform many miracles involving the casting out of demons from people (e.g., Mark 1:23-27). In some Jewish traditions, demons are considered to be sheidim.

In addition, the Bible also mentions fallen angels, which are supernatural beings who rebelled against God and were cast out of heaven. These fallen angels are mentioned in the book of Genesis (Genesis 6:1-4) and in the book of Job (Job 1:6-7). Some Jewish traditions consider the fallen angels to be sheidim.

In summary, although sheidim are not explicitly mentioned in the Christian Bible, there are some references that could be related to them or similar supernatural beings.

References to Apocryphal Books[edit]

Within the work we can find several references to Apocryphal books that seek to give it a more allegorical and fantastic tone.

Book of Enoch

The Book of Enoch is a Jewish literary work that is mentioned in some Jewish and Christian traditions. It is generally considered an apocryphal work, that is, a work that is neither part of the Jewish biblical canon nor of the Christian biblical canon. However, the Book of Enoch has been regarded as a sacred work or as an important source of information by some Jewish and Christian schools of thought throughout history.^{[citation needed]}

The book of Enoch tells the story of the biblical patriarch Enoch, who according to the Bible was translated to heaven without dying (Genesis 5:24). The book of Enoch expands on this story and describes how Enoch received revelations and visions of heaven and hell, and how he was then translated to heaven. It also includes accounts of fallen angels, demons.

In addition to these accounts, the book of Enoch also includes a section with a series of prophecies and revelations about the end of the world and the final judgment. These prophecies are very similar to those found in the New Testament and in some Christian apocryphal books, and have often been used as a source of inspiration for many mystical and eschatological currents throughout history.^[10]

The Book of Enoch has been regarded as a sacred work by some Jewish and Christian streams throughout history, and has been cited as a source of information by some biblical and mystical authors. However, it has also been the subject of controversy and has been rejected by other Jewish and Christian schools of thought as an apocryphal work or heresy.

Although the book of Enoch is an interesting work and has been important to some Jewish and Christian schools of thought, it is important to note that it is not part of the Jewish biblical canon or the Christian biblical canon, and therefore is not considered a source of authority or absolute truth by all Jewish and Christian schools of thought. It is advisable to check further and verify the veracity of the information contained in the book of Enoch before taking it as true.

In the New Testament, the book of Jude mentions the book of Enoch as a source of information and as a work that had been written by a biblical character (Jude 14-15). In the book of Wisdom, which is an Old Testament book that is not part of the Jewish biblical canon but is part of the Catholic biblical canon, the book of Enoch is mentioned as a source of information about heaven and hell (Wisdom 4:1-5:5).

Book of Jasher

The Book of Jasher is a Jewish literary work that is mentioned in some Jewish and Christian traditions. It is generally considered an apocryphal work, that is, a work that is neither part of the Jewish biblical canon nor of the Christian biblical canon. Nevertheless, the Book of Hasher has been considered a sacred work or an important source of information by some Jewish and Christian schools of thought throughout history.^[11]

The Book of Khasher tells the story of the biblical patriarch Jacob, also known as Israel, and his sons and grandsons. It includes accounts of the lives of these biblical characters and of how the twelve tribes of Israel came to be. It also includes some prophecies and revelations about the end of the world and the final judgement.

The Book of Hasher has been considered a sacred work by some Jewish and Christian scholars throughout history, and has been cited as a source of information by some biblical authors and mystics. However, it has also been the subject of controversy and has been rejected by other Jewish and Christian schools of thought as an apocryphal work or heresy.

This ancient book is said to be the same book mentioned in (Joshua 10:13) "And the sun stood still, and the moon stood still, until the people took vengeance on their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? And the sun stood still in the sky, and did not hasten to go down for almost a whole day." (2 Samuel 1:18) "And he said that the children of Judah should be taught. Here it is written in the book of Jasher." And in the LXX in (1 Kings 8:53) "for you have set them apart for yourself as your inheritance among all the peoples of the earth, as you said through Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord Jehovah." It was a collection of poetry, probably odes and psalms extolling the exploits of Israel's heroes.

The book you refer to is known as the "Book of Jasher" or "Book of Jasher" in some translations. It is mentioned several times in the Bible, but no known manuscript of the book has been found. Some scholars believe the book may have been a collection of epic poems or hymns celebrating the exploits of Israel's heroes, while others suggest it may have been a history or chronicle of Israel's history.

References in Kings

A possible third reference appears in 1 Kings 8. In the Septuagint (though not in the Hebrew text or in most translations), verse 8:53 says that the preceding prayer of Solomon is written "in the book of song" (ἐν βιβλίῳ τῆς ᾠδῆς). The Hebrew version of "book of song" could be ספר השיר (sefer ha-shir), which is the same as "Sefer HaYashar" with two letters transposed. According to Alexander Rofeh, this suggests that the name of "Sefer HaYashar" could be related to its function as a book of song, and the second word of "Sefer HaYashar" might have originally been שיר (shir, "song") or ישיר (yashir, "he will sing").^[12]

The Book of Melchizedek

The Book of Melchizedek is a 2nd century Christian apocryphal book which is presented as a history of the life and ministry of Melchizedek, a character mentioned in the Bible in the book of Genesis and the book of Hebrews. According to the Bible, Melchizedek was a king and priest of Salem (probably Jerusalem) who blessed Abraham and collected a tithe from him. The Book of Melchizedek presents a more detailed and legendary view of Melchizedek's life and his relationship to Abraham and other biblical characters.^[13]

The Book of Melchizedek is not included in the Christian Bible nor is it considered canonical scripture by any Christian church. It is considered an apocryphal book, that is, a book that has not been accepted into the biblical canon. Although some Christians have found the book interesting and edifying, it is not considered an authoritative source of information on the life of Melchizedek or any other biblical subject.
