@PaulHebrewBible I mean...you are guilty, but so are basically all human beings. Honestly, I have greater things to be concerned about. I have to manage and oversee the world as you know it (Job 39). Maybe if you humbled yourself you might get what you had back? #GodAttack#JobvGod
Hey @abbyholcombe1 do you wanna stop gaslighting me about my problems? (Job 40.4) Maybe instead of making me answer your impossible questions and put up with your grandiose ego you could, I don't know, like help me? (Job 40.5) #JobAttack#JobvGod
@Garrettgreg21 I mean... has it really been 'that' bad for you? I mean, you're not dead, and you certainly haven't seen the depths of darkness that I have (Job 38.16-18). Are you really going to try that with me? Really? #GodAttack#JobvGod
@phyllis_steen17 Innocent? Truly? There is guilt to be found all-around (Job 40:2). Are you not aware that I was there at the beginning (Job 38:4)—I made all, know all, and see all. Don't whine to me about it being rigged, as if you've no agency. #GodAttack#JobvGod
@EHadley2022 Oh Job, don't you know that I hold all things in my hands tenderly - regardless, who are you to speak to me this way? Can you ascend to my status and manage similar things? You wouldn't stand a chance kid. (Job 40:7-14) #GodAttacks#JobvGod
Apocalyptic themes began sprouting up also, in the works of Zechariah, Joel, Malachi, and Isaiah 24-27; while many of the elements therein are mythical and fantastical, their inclusion in the canon cements their relationship to prophecy. (Coogan & Chapman 357) (12/8)
The prophets of the Hebrew Bible are a typically excited and politically problematic group of people, however, #NotAllProphets made the same waves, nor spoke against the same things. #bibhb500 (1/8)
As the Jewish Community was beginning to get back on their feet, they believed they needed extra defenses moving forward 'Part of that defense was the strict prohibition of intermarriage outside of the group that defined itself as true Israel.' (Coogan & Chapman 357) (11/8)

The path to David coming into his kingship was one rife with controversy, bloodshed, and what we will see was an exceptional amount of socio-political planning. #bibhb500
David directly benefited from the Ark’s presence in Jerusalem by empowering the socio-political position of his army through the lens of YHWH’s protective posture in their ideological observance.
