Shalom, y'all, the Bible tells us specifically when and why the second Temple was going to come down. While it was about the Messiah, it was not about anybody rejecting Him.

Praise Yah! My surgery went well. The dr didnt take all the unhealing wounds, just the worst one that Ive had since feb or so. The two small ones he said he can take care of in the office since they were small, but also looked liked they started healing in the last week. I have stitches to get out, but am a lot more comfortable now. I finally got paperwork going for the grocery store yesterday! Not everything is looking up, but most things are. I just have to trust Yah on yhe rest because it is quite literally out of my control. Its been a beatiful late oct rainy day, full of bright leaves and contrasted clouds. I know there is a lot of pain and suffering in the world, but we must enjoy the little gifts of Creation He gives us when we can. My prayers continue to go out to all of you who cant enjoy fall this year, for the various struggles in your countries. It may get worse before it gets better, but o how grand the better will be! Shalom!

The conversation between the Angel and Hagar in Genesis 16:8-14 mirrors that between God and Adam and Eve in the Garden.
- Hagar's response to God echoes Adam's: "I am uncovered."
- God's response echoes his response to Adam: "Cover yourself."
- Sorrow in childbirth for the woman, Hagar.
- Struggle in survival for the man, Ishmael.
- The angel stood between Kadesh (a "holy" place) and Bered ("hail", perhaps indicating trouble ahead).

But Abram said to Sarai, “Behold, your servant is in your power; do to her as you please.” Then Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her.
Genesis 16:6
In God's economy, the slave-master relationship takes precedence over wife-husband. (Why? I don't know, exactly, but see Exodus 21:1-6.) This is why a handmaid's children belonged to her mistress as much as they belonged to her, and why Hagar would still be under Sarai's authority despite also being Abram's concubine.

In most agrarian cultures, including the ANE, barrenness was considered shameful. People thought it must be the woman's fault. (They weren't always wrong.) When Sarai's handmaid became pregnant, she believed herself to be morally superior and more divinely favored. This was a predictable and expected outcome.
Genesis 16:4
And Sarai said to Abram, "Behold now, YHWH has prevented me from bearing children..."
Genesis 16:2
Sometimes God puts us in difficult and seemingly hopeless situations because he has a higher perspective and knows the eventual outcome.
