The LORD Almighty

But the one who will rescue them is strong—his name is the LORD Almighty. He himself will take up their cause and will bring peace to the earth, but trouble to the people of Babylonia. — Jeremiah 50:34 | Good News Translation (GNT) Good News Translation® (Today’s English Version, Second Edition) © 1992 American Bible Society.

Tonight’s random mass effect thoughts!

- Hannah Shepard acts too much like my mother to not be Jewish. I think Shepard would also have a wonderful time making frequent use of the many ways Yiddish has to express exasperation with some idiot’s tomfoolery. No alien could be prepared for the power of a well-placed “ay gevalt”.

- It’s criminal that there are no curly/natural hair options in the character creator (at least for the OG trilogy femshep- can’t speak to Andromeda or MShep. I’m also on Xbox so I can’t use any mods)

- Traynor is so criminally underappreciated by this fandom. Give this woman some respect. Also, I want to see her play Civ XXVII or some shit, since she canonically likes grand strategy games. Stellaris might work better though. And while I’m here- is Traynor Desi with a white last name/non-Desi dad? Black with straight hair? (my hair could never be that straight for months in space with no straightener or anything). If she is Desi, or Black West Indian, her being allergic to curry powder just seems cruel. Half the Caribbean would starve without it. If she’s West Indian though, and Shepard’s Jewish, their children would be the only representation of me I have ever seen, anywhere.

- I recently learned the citadel was inspired by Babylon 5, fuck yeah

- why the fuck was BioWare so insistent on making every woman in this trilogy the physical embodiment of the Male Gaze

- the protheans have a lot of pyramids lying around on random worlds in ME1. I would pay so much money to see what 2183 History Channel does with this information.

Bester: I know you’re not supposed to kill me.

Lyta: I don’t think you understand how unpopular you are. I could deliver you in a hundred pieces. They’d give me a separate medal for each one.

The Judgment on Babylon (Part 2)

33 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:

Daughter Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time of treading; Yet a little while, and the harvest time will come for her. 34 “He consumed me, defeated me, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon; he left me like an empty vessel, Swallowed me like a sea monster, filled his belly with my delicacies and cast me out. 35 Let my torn flesh be visited upon Babylon,” says enthroned Zion; “My blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,” says Jerusalem. 36 But now, thus says the Lord: I will certainly defend your cause, I will certainly avenge you; I will dry up her sea, and drain her fountain. 37 Babylon shall become a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals; A place of horror and hissing, without inhabitants. 38 They roar like lions, growl like lion cubs. 39 When they are parched, I will set drink before them to make them drunk, that they may be overcome with everlasting sleep, never to awaken— oracle of the Lord. 40 I will bring them down like lambs to slaughter, like rams and goats. 41 How she has been seized, taken captive, the glory of the whole world! What a horror Babylon has become among the nations: 42 against Babylon the sea rises, she is overwhelmed by roaring waves! 43 Her cities have become wasteland, a parched and arid land Where no one lives, no one passes through. 44 I will punish Bel in Babylon, and make him vomit up what he swallowed; nations shall no longer stream to him. Even the wall of Babylon falls! 45 Leave her, my people; each of you save your own life from the burning wrath of the Lord.

46 Do not be discouraged when rumors spread through the land; this year one rumor comes, next year another: “Violence in the land!” or “Ruler against ruler!” 47 Realize that the days are coming when I will punish the idols of Babylon; the whole land shall be put to shame, all her slain shall fall in her midst. 48 Then heaven and earth and everything in them shall shout over Babylon with joy, when the destroyers come against her from the north—oracle of the Lord. 49 Babylon, too, must fall, you slain of Israel, because by the hand of Babylon the slain of all the earth have fallen.

50 You who have escaped the sword, go, do not stand idle; Remember the Lord from far away, let Jerusalem come to mind. 51 We are ashamed because we have heard taunts, disgrace covers our faces; strangers have entered sanctuaries in the Lord’s house. 52 Therefore see, the days are coming—oracle of the Lord— when I will punish her idols, and throughout the land the wounded will groan. 53 Though Babylon scale the heavens, and make her strong heights inaccessible, my destroyers shall reach her—oracle of the Lord. 54 A sound of crying from Babylon, great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans; 55 For the Lord lays Babylon waste, silences her loud cry, Waves roaring like mighty waters, a clamor resounding. 56 For the destroyer comes upon her, upon Babylon; warriors are captured, their bows broken; The Lord is a God of recompense, he will surely repay.

57 I will make her princes and sages drunk, with her governors, officers, and warriors, so that they sleep an everlasting sleep, never to awaken—oracle of the King, whose name is Lord of hosts.

58 Thus says the Lord of hosts: The walls of spacious Babylon shall be leveled to the ground, its lofty gates destroyed by fire. The toil of the peoples is for nothing; the nations weary themselves for what the flames consume.

The Prophecy Sent to Babylon. 59 The mission Jeremiah the prophet gave to Seraiah, son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, when he went to Babylon with King Zedekiah, king of Judah, in the fourth year of his reign; Seraiah was chief quartermaster. 60 Jeremiah wrote down on one scroll the disaster that would befall Babylon; all these words were written against Babylon. 61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah: “When you reach Babylon, see that you read all these words aloud, 62 and then say: Lord, you yourself spoke against this place in order to cut it down so that nothing, human being or beast, could live in it, because it is to remain a wasteland forever. 63 When you have finished reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and throw it into the Euphrates, 64 and say: Thus Babylon shall sink. It will never rise, because of the disaster I am bringing upon it.” Thus far the words of Jeremiah. — Jeremiah 51:33-64 | New American Bible Revised Edition (NABRE) New American Bible, revised edition © 2010, 1991, 1986, 1970 Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, Inc.
