St. Anthony
St. Anthony was a saint who lived in a small village. St. Anthony was able to preach Christianity to the village that he lived in and allowed for individuals to convert to Christianity. We learn that St. Anthony went through persecution from the snake for leading others to King Jesus Christ.
The story of St. Anthony described that because he led others to accepting King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior, the snake persecuted St. Anthony. He described that when he was tempted with lust, he fought against it and did not practice lust. Whenever he had a lustful thought that was not his, he fought against it.
St. Anthony described that he was threatened by the snake on different occassions, yet persevered trusting in GOD Almighty. On one occassion the snake threatened St. Anthony with harm to which he replied, “If you could do that, you would have already done it.” We learn that St. Anthony did not fear trusting in GOD Almighty instead of the temporary lies of the snake.
We learn that the zeal of St. Anthony caused the village that he lived in to believe in King Jesus Christ. We learn that the snake hates when individuals are righteous and improve in the worship of GOD Almighty. St. Anthony describes that despite opposition, envy, or persecution, we can persevere trusting in GOD Almighty. We can persevere despite persecution described in the Parable of the Sower.

Figures of History and Individualism is written so that individuals can understand that there are righteous individuals who do not compromise their values and ethics for temporary momentary gain. While false doctrines and temporary lies try to tempt individuals towards the practice of sin and idolatry, we are reminded that righteous individuals exist and do not practice sin, envy, self-worship, idol worship, hate, covet, deceit, nor vices. We can persevere trusting in GOD Almighty and avoid false prophets and adultresses.
