| The Odu For son of God whom was called Jewesun | |
This Odu is the incarnation of Jesus The son of God whom was called Jewesun in heaven and was told to make sacrifice, in order to survive the plot that was going to be hatched by human beings against him on earth. He was told to give to Esu, which he bluntly refused to do. He however agreed to make a small ebo. The Awos told him that if he did not make the sacrifice to Esu, it was the agents of the earth that would kill him and shorten his life and missionary works. But since he had made the small ebo, he would awaken after three days and his fame would outlive him, after his return to heaven. When
Jewesun got to earth and he was about to begin his work of preaching the
objectivity of truth and the way people lived in heaven, professing the
love of God for his creations, Esu appeared to him in a dream. He warned
him that God had given him, Esu, Alewelishe, Onisegun, the influence of
all that existed in the planetary system. Esu told Jewesun that if he
did not give him what he asked, Jewesun would have himself to blame because
he would cause his followers to destroy him. Jewesun once again refused
to recognize Esu. Jewesun was actually killed or went home 33 years after
he began his works on earth. |

| Let
us behave gently, that we may die peacefully that our children may stretch
out their hands upon us in burial. Death rejoiced at man's creation, he plundered humans at will to eat. Two rats were playing on land and two fishes were playing in water. The hen had laid its eggs and gone to roost, the goat had delivered many kids. |
The
strong three-year old ram and the fat male Cow endowed with beefy flesh,
were all created to appease death. This assemblage of livestock, gave death neither appeasement nor satisfaction. Death continued to focus his gaze on the human flesh. |
