The Fall of Jerusalem Recounted
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah.
And Zedekiah did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done. For because of the anger of the LORD, all this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until He finally banished them from His presence.
And Zedekiah also rebelled against the king of Babylon.
So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army. They encamped outside the city and built a siege wall all around it. And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so severe that the people of the land had no food. Then the city was breached; and though the Chaldeans had surrounded the city, all the men of war fled the city by night by way of the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden.
They headed toward the Arabah, but the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was separated from him.
The Chaldeans seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment on Zedekiah.
There at Riblah the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the officials of Judah. Then he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon, where he kept him in custody until his dying day.
On the tenth day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign over Babylon, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem. He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building. And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down all the walls around Jerusalem.
Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried into exile some of the poorest people and those who remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the craftsmen. But Nebuzaradan captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
Moreover, the Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars and stands and the bronze Sea in the house of the LORD, and they carried all the bronze to Babylon. They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes, and all the articles of bronze used in the temple service. The captain of the guard also took away the basins, censers, sprinkling bowls, pots, lampstands, pans, and drink offering bowls—anything made of pure gold or fine silver.
As for the two pillars, the Sea, the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the movable stands that King Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the weight of the bronze from all these articles was beyond measure. Each pillar was eighteen cubits tall and twelve cubits in circumference; each was hollow, four fingers thick. The bronze capital atop one pillar was five cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates all around. The second pillar, with its pomegranates, was similar. Each capital had ninety-six pomegranates on the sides, and a total of a hundred pomegranates were above the surrounding network.
The captain of the guard also took away Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest of second rank, and the three doorkeepers. Of those still in the city, he took a court official who had been appointed over the men of war, as well as seven trusted royal advisers. He also took the scribe of the captain of the army, who had enlisted the people of the land, and sixty men who were found in the city.
Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah. There at Riblah in the land of Hamath, the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death. So Judah was taken into exile, away from its own land.
These are the people Nebuchadnezzar carried away:
in the seventh year, 3,023 Jews;
in Nebuchadnezzar’s eighteenth year, 832 people from Jerusalem;
in Nebuchadnezzar’s twenty-third year, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried away 745 Jews.
So in all, 4,600 people were taken away.
On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the first year of the reign of Evil-merodach king of Babylon, he pardoned Jehoiachin king of Judah and released him from prison. And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and he dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his life. And the king of Babylon provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life, until the day of his death. — Jeremiah 52 | The Reader’s Bible (BRB) The Reader’s Bible © 2020 by Bible Hub and Berean.Bible.

Sheridan: Ivanova, I need you to go deal with Mr. Bester.
Ivanova: during pride month? you’re making me deal with him during *pride month*?
Sheridan: no, I need you to “deal” with him.
Ivanova: during pride month?
Sheridan: pride is a celebration, celebrations usually have parties— thus, the piñata.
Ivanova: best. piñata. ever.

Hey I watched eternal recently and fell in love with thenamesh! And I found your blog and fell in Iove too!!
If you still accept prompts I have an idea:
The Eternals are fighting against the deviants and in the middle of the fight one deviant sprays some kind of invincible non smelling gas towards Gil who is fighting another one. He inhales it, resulting that he loses his power for a few hours. A big surprise when he was punching the deviant and his powers are just gone, making him an easy target!
Let the drama begin! ❤️🫡
"Thena!"
Gil slid into the path of whatever attack the Deviant facing them had in store--in this case, some kind of gas pouring from its mouth. He held a hand in front of his face. "Okay, not really what I was expecting."
Thena pulled in the edge of her spear, swinging the blunt ended staff around her as she moved, clearing the heavy gas away from them. "What was that?"
"I don't know, I've never seen one do that before," Gil coughed faintly, waving his hand around his face. The Deviant snarled at him and he raised his fist. "Yeah, yeah, take it easy."
Thena's head snapped around like lightning at the sound of bones cracking. "Gil?"
The Strongest Eternal pulled his hand back, roaring as his fist - for the first time in his immortal life - failed him.
"Gilgamesh!" Thene screamed, it being pulled from somewhere deep down. She moved in front of him, catching the beast's teeth on her staff and sharpening its end again. She swiped the blades of her trident against its mouth, making the monster recoil. She turned her back to it, only to examine Gil's injury. "What did that thing do to you?"
He hissed, cradling his hand that had broken against the rigid bones and fibrous muscles of the enemy. It was swollen, his bones were moved oddly, the skin was broken and bleeding. It looked like a human hand, with a very human injury. "I-I don't know!"
Thena turned, sensing as soon as her enemy was in proximity again. She rammed two of her blades into its open maw and then sliced her way out. It recoiled again, snarling in pain.
Under any other circumstance, she would be on top of that thing, tearing it apart as it lived and breathed. But she had more important things to worry about. She had the single most important thing in the world to her to worry about.
Thena held the eyes of the monstrosity, now prowling back and forth, monitoring her for a weakness. She held her blades aloft and at the ready, watching its every move in return. "Try it--I defy you."
"Thena," Gil managed through gritted teeth. He was feeling pain like a human would, too. "Don't let that thing do this to you. Just run, get the others."
"Absolutely not." She didn't have to think twice about it. And he was right; tactically speaking, if she also suffered the same loss of Cosmic Energy as he had, then they would both be easy prey.
But even then, she would fight that thing with her bare hands if she had to. It would not be given another opportunity to hurt Gilgamesh.
"Thena, it's okay," he tried to persuade her as she backed him up behind her. Thena on any other day would never back down from a fight. But Thena with something to protect was less of a predator.
"It hasn't tried it again," she said to him more quietly, still keeping the Deviant in check. Every time it so much as prepared to lunge at them she would shift her weapons in her hands, the glow and sparks of them spooking the miserable creature. "Perhaps it can't afford such frequency."
The Deviant swiped in their direction with its claws. It was nowhere near actually reaching them, but it was a display of ferocity.
"Stay away from him!" Thena had her own display of ferocity, calling up any form of weapon she had at her disposal, flipping through them like pages in a book. She swung them and twirled them in front of her, over her head.
The beast jumped back as she cracked a whip onto the ground between them. It bared its massive teeth at her, but she snapped the whip again.
"Thena!" The Soaring Eternal called from above, his eyes shooting the monster in the back as he flew over them.
"Ikaris!" Thena called out to him of her own volition. He was just as surprised as Gil was at it. "Gilgamesh is hurt!--you handle this one!"
For all he and Thena were at odds, they were still comrades with a mission in common. He shot down to the Deviant, wrestling it away with his strength and a stubbornness he shared with the Warrior Eternal.
Thena immediately let her weapons dissolve and ushered Gil into the gates of the city. "Ikaris will handle that thing."
"I'm surprised you trust him to," Gil laughed, although his pain was far from numbed. He held his hand close to his chest as they hurried to safety. He sighed, looking down at the useless - for him, at least - appendage. "How did this happen?"
"I don't know," Thena admitted in a tiny, fragile voice. He had never heard her sound like that before. She was also looking at his hand as she lead him back to the temple. "I...I don't know."
Gil walked with Thena at his side, her hands on his back and his arm as she both guided and supported him. It was only his hand that was injured, but the pain coursing through him was like nothing he had endured before. It made his whole body stiff and crumpled in posture. Were humans really so fragile? No wonder they needed protection all hours of the day.
"Ajak!" Thena called out before they were even inside, once again startling her partner at her side. "Please!"
Ajak, as well as the rest of the Thinkers, rushed out to meet them. "What happened?"
"A new defense they've developed," Thena barely muttered out as Gilgamesh extended his hand as much as he could bear. Thena eyed Ajak as she reached out for the hand, ready to protect him from even the healing hands of their Prime if that was what was required.
"That shouldn't be possible," Phastos shook his head, although he took a step behind Sprite after receiving a murderous glare from the Warrior Eternal.
"It's shattered," Ajak muttered as she took in the extent of Gil's injury. She looked at him, "this will hurt."
He nodded, prepared for the worst.
Thena slipped her hand into his good one, letting him squeeze as much as he liked. He could crush even her bones if that was what he needed.
Gilgamesh let out a ghastly sound as Ajak pulled his bones back together under his skin. Bones were no easy matter, requiring more than just regrowing some blood and skin cells.
"I'm sorry," Thena whispered to him as he endured Ajak's 'healing'. She pressed her forehead to his bicep, letting his hand squeeze hers as if his life depended on it. "I'm sorry, Gil."
"Just a little more," Ajak winced, as did the other Eternals behind her. It wasn't everyday one of their own sustained an injury to this degree. And it was always painful to witness when the healing of one took place.
Gil gasped for air as Ajak finished, nearly falling to his knees when she was done. He blinked, looking completely dazed and barely conscious.
Thena let him lean against her, whispering soft, loving things that no one - not even he - could decipher. She held his far cheek with her free hand.
"What did that thing do?" Ajak asked, not that she expected an answer to that right now. Between Gilgamesh all but foaming at the mouth and Thena's rabid protectiveness over him, she doubted she would be getting any answers until he was rested. "Take him to the Domo."
Thena required no permission, let alone order. She pulled Gilgamesh along as slowly as possible, guiding his stumbling steps.
"Isn't he better?" Sprite asked the Prime, watching the Fighters hobble away together.
"I healed his hand, but it's like his Cosmic Energy is just...gone," Ajak grimaced, poofing out her fingers in illustration of it. "I didn't know they could do such a thing."
"I'll see if I can find any answers," Phastos volunteered.
"Might wanna wait a bit before runnin' any of yer tests," Druig spoke up from the back of the group. He nodded his head towards where Thena was finally disappearing with Gilgamesh beside her. "Unless a'course you wanna try gettin' anywhere near 'im while she's up and fightin'."
Phastos immediately shrivelled at the idea. "You might have a point."
"Leave them be," Sersi spoke up on behalf of her sister. "I'm sure Thena will know as soon as Gil is well again. We can ask our questions and run our tests then."
Ajak nodded in agreement with the Elemental Eternal. "Sersi is right. Until then, just...give them their space. Gil may not be able to fight, but I think Thena will be ready to kill any of us if we ask anything more of Gilgamesh right now."
#Thenamesh AU#Is it an au if it's just...the movie we should have gotten?#the movie we deserved???#the movie would have been perfect about them in Babylon and I will not be convinced otherwise#anyway I loved this prompt!#Gil wouldn't be in need of protection too often#and he's so protective by nature#but by the all the stars in the galaxy if you come after him#Thena is going to destroy anything in her path#and I kind of love the idea of her being protective of him even with Ajak#just kind of an instinct she has that she can't explain#Gil is like honey it's okay#meanwhile Thena is literally standing guard while he rests#he's like at least come lie down with me and he gives her the puppy dog eyes#and she's like okay fine#and she holds him while he sleeps off the lingering pain#but she so much as hears footsteps outside the room and she's ready to throw hands#Thenamesh Human AU

"Yeah you're right." And it was never easy for Sonic to admit Jet was right about anything. But he had actually respected his skills too. "I took the title because i beat you i don't deny that is what happened and yes i'm not a Babylon. I don't know about you or anything about being a Babylon. But it doesn't mean i wanted to be the reason you are angry and can't show up back home." Again Sonic couldn't help but try being kinder - to see it from the other's point of view. "I don't go easy in any race next time or you'll kill me for sure." Turning away now to avoid Jet own reactions or words. "Thought you hated me anyway.." A mutter awkwardly. he would not admit he saw Jet as the only fastest Babylon he did rule the skies and it wasnt fair Sonic took that away from hin. Any anger he had originally felt towards Jet was gone.
The Babylon didn't respond as he turned away from Sonic mostly because he didn't want to make amends. He liked having a reason to be angry, and let his rage push him to new heights. In a way Sonic beating him made him go beyond what he was capable of. Pushed him to be better far better then he ever was. But the shame of losing followed him like a dark shadow--- his Father would never let him live it down.
" Sonic, you don't get it--- Before you came along i ... was the King of the Skies! no one could touch me... no one could hope to match me! race after race i was King... hell i never even tried..."
He clenched his fists tightly as he locked eyes with sonic.
" But then you came along... and i pushed myself to my limits! and beyond! but there you were, born with a natural talent far beyond my own! and no amount of training could ever hope to close the gap between us! ... and it was made painfully clear the day you crushed m in that race... "
" Do you know what that's like--- to realize to your shock and horror that no matter how hard you try you CAN never catch up! The Prince of the Babylon's! forever in the god damn shadow! of some clown pretending to be hero! you got no idea what that is like for me!?! what it meant to me! to be on top, and be knocked off by some blue boyscout! My pride was all i had left! and all i could think about was BEATING YOU! "
He sighed glancing off to one side as if letting his momentary rage go.
" ... But then the War happened... Infinite came along--- it became less about me and... shit just snowballed after. Here i was running secret missions for Knuckles... gaining intel where i could... ya know watching the world burn sure changes your perspective... "
He placed a hand on his hip
" Then the Zombots... fuck that was just messed the fuck up... like what the hell was i suppose to do? Never felt so damn helpless... So when amy called--- fuck i couldn't just say yes. Had to make it hard for her but maybe i shouldn't have... what ever--- "
" What ever anger i had for you died a long time ago... you still took something from me though. One day i want that back--- but i have to do it my way... No tricks, no games... no under handed bullshit, just me and you and the sky is the limit... so no i dun hate you... "
#Prince of the Babylons#Jet#Fastest Thing Alive#Sonic#I don't hate you...#not anymore...#But there was a dark time...#and it nearly consumed me...#and nearly destroyed me...

2 Kings 24: Jehoiakim Becomes Nebuchadnezzar's Vassal After Being Invaded By Babylon
1 During Jehoiakim’s reign, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon invaded the land, and Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years. But then he turned against Nebuchadnezzar and rebelled.
2 The Lord sent Babylonian, Aramean, Moabite and Ammonite raiders against him to destroy Judah, in accordance with the word of the Lord proclaimed by his servants the prophets.
3 Surely these things happened to Judah according to the Lord’s command, in order to remove them from his presence because of the sins of Manasseh and all he had done,
4 including the shedding of innocent blood. For he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord was not willing to forgive.
5 As for the other events of Jehoiakim’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?
6 Jehoiakim rested with his ancestors. And Jehoiachin his son succeeded him as king.
7 The king of Egypt did not march out from his own country again, because the king of Babylon had taken all his territory, from the Wadi of Egypt to the Euphrates River.
Jehoiachin King of Judah
8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan; she was from Jerusalem.
9 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father had done.
10 At that time the officers of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon advanced on Jerusalem and laid siege to it,
11 and Nebuchadnezzar himself came up to the city while his officers were besieging it.
12 Jehoiachin king of Judah, his mother, his attendants, his nobles and his officials all surrendered to him.
In the eighth year of the reign of the king of Babylon, he took Jehoiachin prisoner.
13 As the Lord had declared, Nebuchadnezzar removed the treasures from the temple of the Lord and from the royal palace, and cut up the gold articles that Solomon king of Israel had made for the temple of the Lord.
14 He carried all Jerusalem into exile: all the officers and fighting men, and all the skilled workers and artisans—a total of ten thousand. Only the poorest people of the land were left.
15 Nebuchadnezzar took Jehoiachin captive to Babylon. He also took from Jerusalem to Babylon the king’s mother, his wives, his officials and the prominent people of the land.
16 The king of Babylon also deported to Babylon the entire force of seven thousand fighting men, strong and fit for war, and a thousand skilled workers and artisans.
17 He made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, king in his place and changed his name to Zedekiah.
Zedekiah King of Judah
18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah.
19 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, just as Jehoiakim had done.
20 It was because of the Lord’s anger that all this happened to Jerusalem and Judah, and in the end he thrust them from his presence.
The Fall of Jerusalem
Now Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

Babylon is Destroyed
Revelation 19:1-21 Jesus judges the Harlot 19 After these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God! 2 For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.”…

Restoration for Israel
1 But the Lord will take pity on Jacob and again choose Israel, and will settle them on their own land; foreigners will join them and attach themselves to the house of Jacob. 2 The nations will take them and bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will possess them as male and female slaves on the Lord’s land; they will take captive their captors and rule over their oppressors.
Downfall of the King of Babylon
3 On the day when the Lord gives you rest from your sorrow and turmoil, from the hard service with which you served, 4 you will take up this taunt-song against the king of Babylon:
How the oppressor has come to an end! how the turmoil has ended! 5 The Lord has broken the rod of the wicked, the staff of the tyrants 6 That struck the peoples in wrath with relentless blows; That ruled the nations in anger, with boundless persecution. 7 The whole earth rests peacefully, song breaks forth; 8 The very cypresses rejoice over you, the cedars of Lebanon: “Now that you are laid to rest, no one comes to cut us down.” 9 Below, Sheol is all astir preparing for your coming; Awakening the shades to greet you, all the leaders of the earth; Making all the kings of the nations rise from their thrones. 10 All of them speak out and say to you, “You too have become weak like us, you are just like us! 11 Down to Sheol your pomp is brought, the sound of your harps. Maggots are the couch beneath you, worms your blanket.” 12 How you have fallen from the heavens, O Morning Star, son of the dawn! How you have been cut down to the earth, you who conquered nations! 13 In your heart you said: “I will scale the heavens; Above the stars of God I will set up my throne; I will take my seat on the Mount of Assembly, on the heights of Zaphon. 14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will be like the Most High!” 15 No! Down to Sheol you will be brought to the depths of the pit! 16 When they see you they will stare, pondering over you: “Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms? 17 Who made the world a wilderness, razed its cities, and gave captives no release?” 18 All the kings of the nations lie in glory, each in his own tomb; 19 But you are cast forth without burial, like loathsome carrion, Covered with the slain, with those struck by the sword, a trampled corpse, Going down to the very stones of the pit. 20 You will never be together with them in the grave, For you have ruined your land, you have slain your people! Let him never be named, that offshoot of evil! 21 Make ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their fathers; Lest they rise and possess the earth, and fill the breadth of the world with cities.
22 I will rise up against them, says the Lord of hosts, and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, progeny and offspring, says the Lord. 23 I will make it a haunt of hoot owls and a marshland; I will sweep it with the broom of destruction, oracle of the Lord of hosts.
God’s Plan for Assyria
24 The Lord of hosts has sworn: As I have resolved, so shall it be; As I have planned, so shall it stand: 25 To break the Assyrian in my land and trample him on my mountains; Then his yoke shall be removed from them, and his burden from their shoulder. 26 This is the plan proposed for the whole earth, and this the hand outstretched over all the nations. 27 The Lord of hosts has planned; who can thwart him? His hand is stretched out; who can turn it back?
Philistia
28 In the year that King Ahaz died, there came this oracle:
29 Do not rejoice, Philistia, not one of you, that the rod which struck you is broken; For out of the serpent’s root shall come an adder, its offspring shall be a flying saraph. 30 In my pastures the poor shall graze, and the needy lie down in safety; But I will kill your root with famine that shall slay even your remnant. 31 Howl, O gate; cry out, O city! Philistia, all of you melts away!

I probably should've expected it, but I guess it was inevitable that I'd come across a Symphogear x Worm crossover fic
Jury's out if it's gonna be too edgy for its own good tho
#qq posts#ah well Taylor with Jingu Bang let's go#funny how the OG Symphogears destroying the Vault of Babylon in G is supposedly a multiversal extinction event tho lmaoooooo#also hasnt been updated since 2021 but it has 39 chapters so thats okay for now

The Haitian Blood Libel that is coming from the republicans and conservatives is so disgusting.
Caribbean folk are one of the most hardest working and educated immigrants this babylon country has ever known. Haiti gave birth to the concept of Freedom to the new World.
The country was severely punished and stifled for having the audacity to end slavery. We would not be where we are right now if Haiti had not changed the course of history.
Even in the present day, self determination of Haiti is stifled by the west. Farmland destroyed, environment destroyed, food sources wiped out, any attempt of liberal change stamped out, election interference, military invasion, the exploitation of people. They got rid of the country’s infrastructure so the people are forced to be dependent on foreign aid, and then they let foreign aid providers like the UN commit crimes from rape to theft to fraud.
If you are an American, you owe the Haitians. You owe them for what this government has done to them. You owe them for starting the wave of independence throughout the new world.
