Epitaph of Twilight Poem

// Okay so I am like a HUGELY MAJOR dothack fan. I mean this is my secret favorite I don’t talk about but love more than anything else. And since it’s a bit tiresome to look up the Epitaph poem segments from the series, I will be posting them here under a read more. //

Epitaph of The Twilight

From the introduction of .hack//INFECTION and posted by W. B. Yeats

Also partly heard at Δ Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground and read by Aina in the G.U. Games.

Yet to return, the shadowed one. Who quests for the Twilight Dragon. Rumbles the Dark Hearth, And Helba, Queen of the Dark, has raised finally her army. Apeiron, King of Light beckons. At the base of the rainbow do they meet. Against the abominable Wave, together they fight. Alba's lake boils. Light's great tree doth fall. Power- now all to droplets turned; in the temple of Arche Koeln. Returns to nothing, this world of shadowless ones. Never to return, the shadowed one. Who quests for the Twilight Dragon.

The Phases in the Epitaph

Found in an E-mail by Wiseman

Unknown where the Cursed Wave was born… After the stars doth cross the heavens, The sky in the East doth darken and air doth fill with mourning. From the chosen land beyond the forest, a sign of the wave comes. Riding the wake is Skeith, the Shadow of Death, to drown all that stands. Mirage of Deceit, Innis, Betray all with the flawed image, and did aid the Wave. And by the Power of Magus, a drop from the Wave doth reach the heavens, and creates a new Wave. With the Wave, Fidchell, the power to tell the dark future, hope darkens, sadness and despair rule. Gorre schemes when swallowed by the Cursed Wave. Macha seduces with the sweet trap. Wave reaches the Pinnacle, and escape none can. Tarvos still remains with more cruelty to punish and destroy. And with the turbulent destruction after the Wave. Only a void remains. From deep within the void arrives Corbenik. Perhaps then the Wave is just a beginning as well.

Notes

This is the only part of the Epitaph to appear verbatim in .hack//Epitaph of Twilight. It is found in an ancient text in Apeiron's archives.

Epitaph 00

Found at Θ Cursed Despaired Paradise

Shunning the field broken by Wave. The shadowed girl whispers, "Surely, I will return. "Alas, the truth unbeknownst. Awaiting her at journey's end; Eternal mourning for her land.

Epitaph 01

Found at Λ Dying Madness Haunted Land

When one points their finger to the moon, Oh ye fool, Shall gaze upon the fingertip.

Epitaph 02

Found at Σ Chatting Snaring Twins

The whole cannot be changed. We have already lost that chance. Because the time left to us was short, We were mistaken in our path. But now do we realize, We should change not the whole, But the parts.

The probability of this verse referring to "recovering after a fatal mistake and changing some for the better" is sound.

Epitaph 03

Found at Σ Resonating False Grasslands

Wave soars and shrouds the eyes. No means to fight an omnipresent force, The shadowless ones just grieve. Why must it be a Wave? Divide, if it would just...Then retaliate, we may.

Epitaph 04

Found at Σ Screaming Wind Sand's Fate Castle

Over the Keel Mountains, Meets an ape with human speech. The ape asks,"What clings to you? Bear it—you cannot. Accept it—you cannot. But hidden—it is from you. Recite its name."

Answer: Your own name—the name of your shadow, your dark side.

Fidchell's Prophecy

Recited by the Phase Fidchell the Prophet

Like a frenzied horse that is driven. An unseen wind of plague shrieks across the border. Pandemonium, wailing, and stench of carnage fills the air. There is no place to run. No hope of escape. Those who are mourned will never return. The hands of time cannot be turned back.

Notes from .hack//analysis

Listed as part of the Epitaph, but shown to also be relevant to the events of the .hack Games.

"Wind of plague" refers to the virus corruption.

"Border" refers to the servers, security zones, and the real world.

"Those who are mourned" refers to the belief that computers are infallible and dependable.

"Epigraph"

From .hack//Another Birth Vol.2

The Keel Mountains traversed at last,

we met a dragon that spoke thus:

"Sheraton am I, who interprets the signs.

An answer to my question, give.

If you can, complete my role will be,

and I will leave this land.

Though equally it exists before everyone's eyes,

grasp it not one person can.

Tell me—what is it?"

Answer: "The moment."

Mia's Words

From .hack//Another Birth Vol.3

Plaird of the Seven Sisters, falling in love with a human, Became a Shadowed One and was exiled from the Dark. Hence, her name came to be called Plaird the Fallen. At her wanderings end, she settled in seclusion in Arche Haokar. However, those days may not last. A reunion may come, or may not. Plaird's form vanishes at the coming of the sign of the Wave.

Note: In .hack//Epitaph of Twilight, Plaird was exiled from the Light, not the Dark.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil.It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones. Proverbs 3:5-8

All of us who believe in Jesus will go through hard and challenging times. We live in a fallen world. We suffer ourselves at times. At times we suffer because our children or grandchildren are suffering or not walking with the Lord. I recently talked with a couple whose daughter is living with her boyfriend, not following Jesus and seems to want little to do with her parents. Another parent I know grieves on a regular basis because her son has chosen to live a homosexual lifestyle. I know another believer whose business is struggling. And I know several believers who are going through serious health problems. In all these kinds of struggles we can be tempted to fear or wonder if the Lord will help us.

The big question in every one of these painful and challenging situations is this: Who am I going to trust?

Am I going to trust God and his Word or my own heart and assessment of the situation. Am I going to trust God’s promises or my own understanding?

God tells us we have 2 options: To trust in the Lord with all our heart and to acknowledge him in all our ways or to lean on our own understanding and be wise in our own eyes.

First of all, we should trust in the Lord with all our heart.

This means we should trust God’s word wholeheartedly. Without doubt. Not partially. We must not think, “Well, maybe God’s word doesn’t apply to this situation. Maybe it applies to most situations, but not this one.”

We must believe that if God has made a promise he will fulfill it somehow. Some way. In his timing. I think this is especially hard with his promises for our children. He has made numerous promises to save them and to answer our prayers for them. I know many parents who did all they could to teach their kids about the Lord and bring them up in the knowledge of him. They took their children to church every week. Sent them to youth camps, etc. And now their children are not following the Lord. It is grieving to the parents. It is so hard to understand. After all God’s word promises that he will “establish” our children (Psalm 102:28), fill them with his Word and Spirit (Isaiah 59:21), and personally teach all our children (Isaiah 54:19). Yet they aren’t following as adults. So hard to understand.

So who will we trust? God and his promises or our feeble, limited understanding?

We need to trust the Lord and not lean on our own understanding in all kinds of other situations. When we are tempted to lust. Tempted to get involved in sexual sin. Satan will lie to us, just like he lied to Eve in the garden. “You will not surely die. Nothing is going to happen to you. No one will ever know.”

We need to trust God with our finances. “I tithe, I give to the poor, yet why am I so tight? I thought God promised to bless me. Yet here we are. Financially tight. Why should I keep giving to the Lord?”

God tells us: Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. He also tells us: Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil.

That’s the big question: who will we trust? The Lord or ourselves? The Lord, who is all-powerful, all-wise, all-knowing, and completely good and loving, or our own understanding? Our own “eyes” or our own limited view of things, our own limited assessment of things.

We must cling to God’s promises and trust his word, even when we don’t see the answers. When we trust his word, we are really trusting his character.

When we trust a friend, or any human, we are trusting their character. Trust is always necessary when someone makes a promise. And trust is always necessary when we are waiting for something. If it’s in our hands we don’t need to trust that someone will give it to us.

We trust God as we wait for him to fulfill his promises. Psalm 27 tells us:

I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living! Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD! Psalm 27:13-14

In this Psalm David is trusting the Lord for things in the future – in the land of the living. He “believes” or trusts, that he shall look upon the goodness of the LORD. But he hasn’t gotten it yet. He tells us we need to “Wait for the LORD; be strong and let your heart take courage. Wait for the LORD.”

That’s not easy. It’s not easy to be strong. It’s not easy to let our heart take courage. But God will help us. Cling to this promise. Memorize it. I have, and I remind myself often that God has promised that I will see his goodness. In this life! In the land of the living. But especially in heaven. I know I will see how he has answered all my prayers.

When I was a young Christian, an older believer would say, “God said it, I believe it, that settles it.” I have never forgotten that. I remind myself of that as I fight to believe God’s word and not my own assessment of things.

God said it. And God is not a liar. God always tells the truth. We can trust his character. Another verse I use to fight my doubts is Numbers 23:19:

God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it? Numbers 23:19

God never lies nor changes his mind. He will fulfill his every promise. Keep believing his Word. Keep trusting him.

I have written a few simple Scripture memory songs and made YouTube videos of them to help me memorize his promises. Here are a few if you’d like to check them out.

‘Ah, Lord GOD! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you. Jeremiah 32.17 http://bit.ly/2HDy2WU

All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children. Isaiah 54:13 bit.ly/323FwMm

I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living! Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord! Psalm 27:13-14 http://bit.ly/37ETt4K

(739)ACTS 15- Some brothers from Judea came down to Antioch and taught the believers that they had to be circumcised and keep the law in order to be saved. These are the Pharisees out of Jerusalem who became believers. They tried to put the gentile believers under the yoke of the law. Paul and Barnabas disagree strongly with this teaching. They decide to bring the question before the Apostles and Elders at Jerusalem. This is the first ‘church council’ in history. The ‘Jerusalem council’. At the meeting the dispute arises. Peter speaks up and recounts his experience at Cornelius house. How God showed Peter that he would justify people by faith, without having to become converts to Judaism. James chimes in and quotes a famous verse [famous now!] from the prophet Amos ‘in those days I will rebuild David’s tabernacle and all the gentiles upon whom my name is called will see me’. I want to stop here for a minute. On this blog I wrote a chapter on David’s tabernacle. It is in the booklet ‘The great building of God’ you might want to read it if you are not familiar with David’s tabernacle. I want to note that scholars disagree on what James means here. Some see ‘David’s tabernacle’ as the house or dynasty of David. Like Paul saying ‘house of God’ when speaking of ‘the family of God’. Others say this verse teaches the rebuilding of the Temple. The main reason James is quoting this verse is really not for the ‘rebuilding of David’s tabernacle’ section. It is for ‘all the gentiles who call upon my name’ part! James is agreeing with Peter and taking the side of grace when he says ‘look, even Amos said gentiles would call on Gods name’. Paul does this in Romans, he quotes the Old Testament prophets in context of the gentiles being accepted. So I wanted to just put some context to why James is bringing up this verse. But I also give credence to seeing ‘David’s tabernacle’ as speaking of the New Testament house of God [the Body of Christ] and Gods intent to ‘tabernacle in his people’. Acts does teach that Jesus has ascended and is seated on a throne that includes Israel as well as the whole universe! So in this context Christ can be seen as ‘building the tabernacle of David’ [spiritual temple of believers] that includes all ethnic groups. Yes, gentiles too can call upon his name! The Apostles and Elders and brothers all reach agreement and write a short letter and send Judas and Silas along with Paul’s group back to Antioch to read the final decree. They told the gentile believers they were not under the law and did not have to convert to Judaism to be saved. They did give four simple restrictions. Don’t eat meat with the blood in it, don’t eat food offered to idols or strangled animals. Don’t commit fornication. Basic requirements that later on will lose their emphasis as the church grows in grace [accept for fornication! God does require believers to walk in holiness]. Now this chapter is vital for every believer. The 16th century reformation restored the truth of people being saved freely by grace. Many Christians were lost in the legalistic requirements of religion. Many believers thought they could buy their way out of purgatory with money! Others thought they would be saved by keeping church law. This early church council gave freedom to the church in seeing herself accepted by grace. The church grew in her understanding of Gods grace. As God’s revelation of himself progressed thru out the early church, they saw him as being ‘inclusive’ not exclusive! The more they learned about God, the more they understood him justifying people freely. It is easy to lose the reality of God justifying man freely thru grace. No excuses for living in sin, but true acceptance and forgiveness because of Christ. This is truly the heart of the gospel. The first church council laid the foundation of Gods free grace. The gentiles at Antioch and the other towns were ecstatic over this decision. Truly the gentile churches are experiencing more freedom than the church at Jerusalem, after all they had the ‘Pharisees who believed’ at Jerusalem, and they weren’t willing to give up on their belief of the importance of the law and circumcision. They will haunt Paul thru out his life. After the letter is read, Paul and Barnabas continue to teach at Antioch and the 2 brothers who were out of Jerusalem are free to leave. Judas goes back, but Silas likes the freedom at Antioch and decides to stay. Paul says ‘lets go visit all the brothers in the cities where we preached’ Barnabas says ‘great, lets take John Mark!’ Paul doesn’t want him because he abandoned them on an earlier missionary journey. Paul takes Silas and John goes with Barnabas. The ‘visiting of all the brothers’ is also described as ‘visiting the churches’. Once again, the brothers [and sisters] in the cites are defined as ‘the churches’. They were called out groups of believers who were recognized not because they ‘attended church on Sunday’ but because they were followers of ‘the way’.

VERSES- 1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spiritswhether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. In Context | Full Chapter | Other Translations Acts 15:1 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved. Acts 15:2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. Acts 15:3 And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren. Acts 15:4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them. Acts 15:5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. Acts 15:6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. Acts 15:7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. Acts 15:8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; Acts 15:9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. Acts 15:10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? Acts 15:11 But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. Acts 15:12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them. Acts 15:13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me: Acts 15:14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. Acts 15:15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, Acts 15:16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: Acts 15:17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. Acts 15:18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. Acts 15:19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: Acts 15:20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day. Acts 15:22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas and Silas, chief men among the brethren: Acts 15:23 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia. Acts 15:24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment: Acts 15:25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, align=top> Acts 15:26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 15:27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. Acts 15:28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; Acts 15:29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well. Acts 15:30 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle: Acts 15:31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation. Acts 15:32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them. Acts 15:33 And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles. Acts 15:34 Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still. Acts 15:35 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also. Acts 15:36 And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the LORD, and see how they do. Acts 15:37 And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark. Acts 15:38 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work. Acts 15:39 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus; Acts 15:40 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.

Leviticus 25:47-27:13 ~ Mark 10:32-52 ~ Psalm 45:1-17 ~ Proverbs 10:22

Today is the 2nd day of March. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I'm Brian. It is my pleasure and it's a joy that we can come together like this for the next step forward. That's what we’ll do by first going back out into the wilderness among the children of Israel as their laws and customs are being initiated. We’re reading from the Names of God Bible this week, Leviticus chapter 25, verse 47 through 27, verse 13 today.

Commentary

In the book of Leviticus for the last several days we’ve been hearing as the laws and the customs and the rituals and the festivals are being instituted by God through Moses to the people. Where his tabernacle will be in the camp, what it is supposed to look like, very detailed, all of the things that are required to make this people who are just slaves from Egypt, they don’t really know how to govern themselves. They’ve only been slaves for four centuries. There is this massive horde of over a million people out on the desert floor, out in the middle of nowhere and they are being utterly transformed. Every little detail about what their culture is going to look like, they need to know these things. They don’t know how to be anything but a slave. A lot of people think this patch of scripture is sort of tedious and yet, man, when you dig into it, you realize there is just a lot there. There is a lot to apply to our own lives. There is a lot to understand just historically where this story is going, why this is happening. When we understand why this is happening, it all makes sense.

We get today to a place where God is kind of recapping. Alright, here are the things that I’ve told you and here are the blessings that you can expect by obeying these things. And, conversely, here are the curses and punishments that you can expect by not. Which brings us to consider the laws of the Lord, the things that we are to do and the things that we are not to do, the things that will bring upon us blessing and the things that will bring us dire circumstances. We wonder how do we do all this? And we wonder why God is controlling everything in these people's lives and why do we feel that way from time to time? But is that really what is going on here? Do we think that God wants to control us? Because that would pretty much fly in the face of everything else he has ever done, beginning in the Garden of Eden. Did God control Adam and Eve as they lifted their hand and plucked the forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? And then did he force that hand to bring the fruit into their mouths and did he contract their jaws so that they bit in rebellion? He did not. He does not. So what we find often in the laws and rules is something very fascinating, because embedded with them is blessing and life. So yes, they are commands, but also invitations.

God isn’t up in heaven just trying to dream up new rules for the people of earth. He is saying, look, Eden has fallen and we have what we have, but let me show you the narrow path that leads to life. Let me show you the way back to yourself. Let me show you the narrow path that will lead you back to who you were created to be. If you will stay within these parameters and not look at them as a cage but look at them as a path then you’ll understand what I'm doing. I'm setting you apart. You are different. You are mine. You are holy.

That intertwining of God's Holy Spirit, divinity within our humanity can change the world. It is supposed to change the world. We are not here accidentally on some aimless, unfathomable journey that does not make any sense whatsoever and then we die. We are here to participate in the restoration of all things back to God as they were intended from the very beginning. If we will listen to him, if we will listen to his word and walk with him in spirit, he will only lead us to life. He is the source of life. He is love. These are the paths that he will lead us upon because he delights in us. He loves us.

So yeah, we’ll find plenty of opportunity to encounter the idea of cursings in the Bible, judgments in the Bible, and it's very easy to move through some of this territory and go like, ‘Man, that's a vengeful God there,’ but these are reactions. God is simply saying, ‘Look, because you chose otherwise, this is what is going to happen. You don’t have to choose that way. You don’t have to walk into your own judgment. It is just out there. The choice is yours. There is a path that leads to life and then there is a much larger path that doesn’t. What road are you on? What road are you going to choose? I'm doing everything I can possibly do to show you the path that will lead to life.” So often what we do is try to find our own shortcuts to lead to life. It's just that when we get there, what we were looking for and what we were looking at is not going to give us life and we find out we’ve slid off the narrow path.

So when we encounter these passages of scripture, may we keep this in mind because it applies today. It's not that esoteric. It applies today. What is the narrow path that leads to life for you today? Well, that would begin with intimacy with God, fellowship with God today and then choosing to walk in his will and in his ways. In other words, to obey him in the things that he has given us as signposts, as mile markers on our faith journey.

Prayer

Father, thank you for showing us these parameters. Thank you for illuminating the narrow path that leads to life. We apologize for the times that we have chosen a different path. We humble ourselves and repent for the times that we have rejected your invitation into life, choosing otherwise, choosing flashy, blinking, cardboard imitations. Forgive us for that. You have offered us the real thing and we have gone in search of some sort of easier substitute. But there is no substitute for the real thing and we want the real thing. We want to be as we were created to be and this is what the gospel offers us. So come, Holy Spirit, indwell us. Rise up within us. Help us to choose life this day. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Community Prayer Requests and Praise Reports

Hi, it's Alicia in Kansas calling for Max M. I just let you know that, brother, I heard your prayer request today. It's February 26th and I am praying for you. And I heard your cry, the Lord is there with you. Depression blinds us. It isolates us and I believe that if you can hook up with a Christian therapist, somebody you can talk to, get outside, get air, get around people, make sure you’re getting some human touch. Coming off those medications can make it even worse than it is, but God is there. Just keep saying Jesus. Just keep calling out his name. He is there. Those are lies. The chemical reactions in our brain can take us to different places. I'm praying for you and I know there are hundreds if not thousands of others that are praying for you, brother. Please just keep calling out for him. I love you. I'm praying for you. You are on my list and I will not stop. I ask that you do the same. Blessings, sweet brother. Bye-bye.

Hi, this is Charlotte calling from the UK for Max M. I heard your call and was really moved by just the emotion in your voice. But this is from God, I believe. There is an old song called Cast Your Burdens on Jesus, For He Cares For You. It's an old song and I think it is based on one of the Psalms, Psalm 55 which is cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you. He will never let the righteous be shaken. I just really encourage you against the depression. Just meditate on him because he is very close. He's super close, in fact, and he loves and if you just rest in him, feel the burdens just lift off of you. Rest in his love and knowledge that he will take these burdens from you if you just keep pushing in and resting in him. And also for Justin in Sacramento, thank you for your encouragement, message. One of my friends was needing to hear that so deeply, so it did get through and it did benefit them. Thanks. Bye.

Hello Daily Audio Bible listeners. I am Cornelia here in Sydney. Thank you, Brian, for your very interesting readings from the Old Testament which I find, you know, the ones that are painted quite hard to read and you make it very interesting with the way you express the Old Testament generally. I'm just putting out a point forward for Max whose prayer request I heard on the 25th of February. Max, I understand you wanted more help for solving an issue you have with depression and that you feel really, really at a low point about it. I just want to say that answered prayer comes in many different ways. Just would like to suggest something. I'm a health practitioner and deal with people with depression and Jesus speaks to us by giving us answers in many different ways, but I thought I would give you my email address and just give you a couple of ideas that you could follow with your church community for yourself. My email is [email protected]. Okay, that's it. I heard a lot of other people really asking for prayer and I'm in prayer with them. For the gentleman with the brain tumor and also that had a kidney tumor, and I hope you can take some good supplements or things to strengthen your body during this period of time. God bless everyone and I love…

Hi, this is Victorious Soldier and I'm calling tonight to pray for some of the Dabbers. I want to pray for Nancy from Rockford, IL. Her husband's health has declined and he has had the kidney tumor. I just want to pray for you, Nancy. It is such a blessing that the two of you are together and able to do this. I'm praying for you, Nancy, that God will continue to open up doors and bless that you all can enjoy each other. Lord, I want to pray for Pamela. She was talking about the drought there in California. I have a son that is down there too in Oroville with that flood and I'm praying for you all, that the water won't overflow for you, that you will get the rain that you need. I want to pray for Anthony with depression. Lord, I pray for my brother Anthony. Lord, the depression is bringing him down. I pray for him and I pray for Byron and also his wife, Lord. O Lord, in the name of Jesus, Lord, you lift them up. Father, you touch them in the mighty name of Jesus. Lord, they need you. You are their present help in trouble. Lord, let your word give them the joy. The joy of the Lord is their strength. O Lord, have your way with Byron and Anthony and his wife, Lord. O Lord, in the name of Jesus. Lord, you touch Nancy's husband, Lord. O Father, in the name of Jesus, you are a doctor that never lost a case. Father, you are Jehovah Rapha. Lord, you heal, Lord, in the name of Jesus, that they can have their lives together, Lord. In the mighty name of Jesus. Lord, you bless your people, Father. In the mighty name of Jesus, you touch them and you continue to bless, you continue to…

Good morning DAB family. This is Jackie in New Jersey and I'm calling with the most wonderful praise report ever. Our daughter has reconciled with me. I am so happy. Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord! Thank you for your prayers. Today is the 27th of February and this is a Monday and Saturday I took my grandson. Thank God for him. He is doing excellent in school. My granddaughter's birthday was on Saturday and I had taken her a card, so I took my grandson over there. He wanted to be with his sister. And my granddaughter came out to get her card and this was the first time I hugged my granddaughter and her and I hugged in the car and it was just such a wonderful feeling. I started crying and she said, “Grandma, this is a new year. Stop crying. This is a new year.” That's what she kept reciting to me, so I looked over her shoulder and my daughter was standing out of the car and my granddaughter got out of the car. She said she loved me and my daughter got in the car and oh, it was such a wonderful feeling. She hugged me and told me to stop crying and stop crying and she said, “Mom, I love you.” And we just hugged and I told her I loved her back. She got out of the car and I left, but I smiled all the way home. I was so excited. Thank you for your prayers. I appreciate everything. I love my family. I love my DAB family. Amen.

Well good afternoon Daily Audio Bible family. My name is Dionne, the Radical Midwife, and I have been a Dabber for the last three years. This, however, is my absolute first time calling. Brian, I just want to tell you thank you for your act of obedience, first and foremost, for your lovingkindness, and for sharing your precious wife with us, Miss Jill. I'm sorry for the loss of your mother. I know it has been a couple of months. I have a prayer request, if I can. I have a 14-year-old son who was diagnosed with brain and spine cancer on August 19, 2016. We have been constantly battling, but I am yet encouraged in the Lord. I am trusting and believing that God is going to use his life to get the glory. I am believing without wavering. It has been a long arduous road, but I know that God is able. To all of you that call in, Miss Warrior Princess, Honey, you bless me all the time. I thank God for you. And I believe it's Blind Man, the Poet, thank you for sharing and encouraging and checking in on people. And lastly, there was a young lady that called and is suffering from depression and anxiety. __________ to the abuse of her father. I just wanted to encourage you, young lady. Life is full of challenges, but the word declares that we are more than overcomers. The word says guard your heart with all of your diligence for out of it are the issues of life. I just want you to believe that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him and he's more than able to heal you. Be encouraged. God bless you Daily Audio Bible.

Notes: - it’s not quite a Bad End but it’s not exactly the best outcome either - I originally got ideas from the initial previews for Bokura no Mirai - obviously none of those happened - if it’s not obvious enough, Koushiro is basically writing a quick program to warp and Rewrite the Digital Worlds’ coding. He moves so fast/swiftly because he’s already been through numerous timelines by this point, and is either a) subconsciously aware or b) not subconsciously, but hyper-aware {depending on which ‘verse/spinoff scenarios this scene Repeats within} - thus yeah these are psuedo-deaths [non permanent]; they don’t literally die {at least Koushiro himself definitely doesn’t in this scene} - look I’m sorry but if Koushiro fell from such a height, at such a speed, into the kind of place like Taichi fell into {it’s uh kind of replaced with maybe a certain Dark Cave here except 02-style; see: Chapter 11, City}, he’d be banged up too - Koushiro may be skilled by this point but he can’t stop everything - Koushiros’ true aim is to solve the {alternative/timeline splits?} mystery that they’ve possibly got thrown into, so he has a ways to go still; along the way, he’s coming to terms mentally with his own situation while bearing the weight of it all - this bit attempts to explain the canonical timeline gap between Spring 2003 [02 drama CD] ~ April 2005 [Tri start; Saikai] - I really miss my old website / 02 fic and really just want to write Daisuke {02 fav} helping Koushiro during a high stakes moment and them both acknowledging each other[s’/strengths] in turn - I meant to post this a long time ago but {well} Yup

- for the Good End “closest to the latter” see Chapter 22; Adopted - for the best outcome of the AUs verses & most others; Chapter 33: Summertime - for the Good End post-02 AUs, Chapter 24: Scars

- In the end this bit is more of a series of AU ideas that weren’t really supposed to happen in the main timeline of the fic, but I do like to think at least some version of Koushiro came across Daisuke at some point; {especially if we’re counting in my old ficverse} [Koushiro was a major player in a similar timeloops-esque / past lives situation there too, if slightly different back then]

- this fic is not meant to “reverse” or “rewrite” tri actually, thanks. {nor is it meant to ‘rewrite’ or ‘scrap’ Tri!Koushiro or 02!Daisuke} [nor is it meant to ‘improve on their situations’ or retcon the tri ending] (it’s fine to read my stuff if you just didn’t care for tri but if you actively hate Tri!Koushiro you probably won’t like my stuff involving Tri!Koushiro. sorry)

- regardless it’s my own AUs of AUs so yeah they’re just AU spinoffs
