An elastic oblong rears abroad for Tank to look into. It, Tank, accepts the invitation, and seizes the spiralling stairs, with fun telescopic peerings between the rails and sides.
Isolated cameras flash as the ascent/descent progresses. Smoke and dubious futures await the pages ahead.

Shattered bars trickled through rustling veins leading to and from the lairs of other futures. Tank plucked a cluster like grapes, emptying the bristled packs to the linoleum.

In Deuteronomy 23, certain people are excluded from the "congregation of YHWH", but the meaning is uncertain. Does it refer to the Temple, government, voting, etc.? I don't think it means being excluded from the nation completely. That doesn't align with God's character or the prophets. If that's what it meant, it would probably say "cut off from the people" or something like that. Rather than total exclusion from #israel, being excluded from the congregation of YHWH means being excluded from certain formal aspects of community life.

For example, inheritance of the covenant and land are central to Israelite identity. A eunuch (v1) has no heirs and so can never fully participate in that aspect of the community. He's a fruitless tree, a "dry twig". "Bastard" in v2 isn't about unwed parents. It's about the child of a forbidden union. He inherits neither covenant nor land. If he is faithful to Adonai, he is grafted into the nation like a former gentile.

“For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, without ephod or teraphim.

Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the Lord (Yahuwah) their God and David their king. They shall fear the Lord and His goodness in the latter days.”
‭‭Hosea‬ ‭3‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The latter days are about the restoration of Israel not its destruction. That doesn't mean bad things won't happen, but God is working towards the goal of their ultimate deliverance.

A man shall not take his father's wife, so that he does not uncover his father's *kanaf*.
#deuteronomy 22:30

The ESV translates kanaf as "nakedness", but I think that's way off. The word refers to the hem of his garment. It is a sexual euphemism, but it's much more than that. It's also an allusion to the authority and responsibility (aka "covering") of a man over his wife and children. His wife isn't his covering; he is hers.

It's not an accident that rules about a father's responsibility for his daughter's behavior follow the command to tie tzitziyot to the hem of his garment.

Life can be overwhelming sometimes, and it's okay to feel emotionally or spiritually drained. We all experience moments of doubt, exhaustion, or even despair, wondering if it's worth pushing forward. Some may face depression or feel like they’re on the verge of a breakdown, just like Elijah in 1 Kings 19:4, when he felt so low he wanted to give up.

But here’s the truth: feeling this way doesn’t make us weak, it makes us human. What matters most is how we respond. The story of Elijah reminds us that God sees us in our struggles. He gave Elijah what he needed for rest, recovery, and strength for the next part of his journey—and He can do the same for us. Whether it’s a safe space, a supportive friend, or peace for our hearts, God provides what we need to move forward. You're not alone in this.

Zechariah 14 is a big reason why I think the impression that the end times is about the judgement of Israel is backwards. It's true that half of Jerusalem is allowed to be taken, but God steps in and goes to war with the nations that did it.

Remember in Romans we are told that this current time was one or favor towards the gentiles SO THAT Israel could in turn receive their fullness as well.

“For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭11‬:‭25‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬

The end times are a steady drum beat towards the Day of Yahuwah. Which is a final battle with the enemies of God who also hate Israel.
