“And Shall Receive The Reward Of Unrighteousness, As They That Count It Pleasure To Riot In The Day Time. Spots They Are And Art

I sat, long ago, on an Asian hill with a Shakya Mundi friend, and watched the autumn leaves fall down from high above, giants in the forest casting off their wakefulness, falling progressively into winter’s long, white sleep. “The important thing to know about trees” he said, “is that they are most beautiful in autumn; just before the winter snow. They live and grow through the entire year just for these brief moments of stunning beauty. We are like that.” He said, “but we have only one autumn, and a very long winter.”
“Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.” (Isaiah 41:22, KJV)

“And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.” (1 Samuel 21:9, KJV)
Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. (2 Thessalonians 3:12 KJVA)
An Asian Slice At the dark end of an alley on a moonless night, A youth squats low to the ground, turned toward the wall with his face in his lap. Someone might think he’s sleeping. He’s smoking heroin. Soon he’ll fall over and soil himself, and stay right there until dawn. Back at the neon-lit mouth of this dark alley, hookers walk back and forth, hurrying to get past the alley, either for fear or because is smells so bad. Eyelids, all painted golden, Asian whores always look like they’re made of candy. Candy it is; but a snarling cat awaits its prey.
Neon-Futurism Digital Art Style, "Tron" Legacy Aesthetic, Bioluminescent and Geometric. A sleek, futuristic scene set against the digital void of deep space. The Rider and Machine: A lone rider on a low-slung, futuristic light-sportbike speeds along. The bike has hubless wheels that glow with intense cyan light, leaving a solid ribbon trail of light behind it. The rider wears a full-coverage, armored future-suit with a sleek, integrated helmet, outlined in glowing orange and blue piping. The Path (The Ecliptic): They are riding on the Ecliptic, rendered as a translucent, multi-lane highway of flowing data streams and laser grids stretching infinitely into the cosmos. The Constellation (Honorable Virgo): Dominating the background is the immense, celestial avatar of Virgo. She is starry and is draped in voluminous, flowing robes woven from glowing violet and gold circuit patterns and data tapestries. She wears a stylized digital crown or halo representing wheat stalks. She is a dignified, colossal queen of light, looking down calmly at the rider passing her domain. Atmosphere: The background is a dark grid of space filled with geometric nebulae and distant, pixelated stars. The lighting is entirely sourced from the glowing neon elements.

Now, those captains must learn what the river will do when it makes that great turn out of sight. How it dashes them up on the rocks of the shore How it spins to the left and the right. It beats them and breaks them and crushes their pride Leaves them dizzy and sick and all jumbled inside ‘til they’ve all but forgotten that glorious ride lying flat on their deck in the sun. There they lie, drying out in the sun. As you round the point where the river was bent and survey the great wideness ahead, you can see all those captains alone on their decks, beat and broken and very near dead. Then the current takes hold and there’s naught you can do as it drags you down into its maw. Headed straight for those rocks, you make ready to crash but at last, you rise up, roll and yaw. Going back and away, then forward again, fearing each time, the rocks will prevail! You’re trapped in a cycling, circling tide, in an eddy withstanding a gale. But each time you circle that great whirling tide and you’ve not hit the rocks or been thrown to the side and you’re kept from the falls, cascading and wide, for the eddy’s small mercy give praise. Give the merciful currents your praise!
“If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.” (Deuteronomy 22:23-24, KJV)
But with the righteous He will make peace. And will protect the elect, And mercy shall be upon them. And they shall all belong to God, And they shall be prospered, And they shall ⌈all⌉ be blessed. And He will help them all, And light shall appear unto them, And He will make peace with them. 1 Enoch 1:8

Psychedelic Rotoscope Animation Style, Vibrant Neon Pop-Art, Kinetic 80s Synthwave Aesthetic. A high-energy, multi-colored cosmic chase scene rendered in frenetic, hand-drawn strokes. The Rider & Bike: The "Take On Me" hero is hunched over his motorcycle, but instead of graphite, he and the bike are composed of glowing electric-blue and hot-pink outlines. His leather jacket shimmers with iridescent "oil-slick" colors. As the bike tears forward, it leaves behind a shimmering rainbow exhaust trail that ribbons across the dark sky. The Ecliptic & Virgo: They are riding along the Ecliptic, which is depicted as a glowing, multi-colored crystalline highway cutting through space. In the background, the constellation Virgo is a colossal, majestic goddess made of swirling violet nebulae, emerald star-clusters, and golden stardust. Her hair flows like a galactic aurora, filling the frame with a kaleidoscope of saturated colors. The Atmosphere: The blackness of space is replaced with a deep indigo and magenta gradient, crowded with exploding supernovas, prismatic stars, and neon lens flares. Every line should look like a vibrating, colorful energy stroke, creating a scene that is "loud," bright, and intensely colorful.

The San Gorgonio Pass, Mt. San Gorgonio) rises in the North, all hoary-frost and granite. Snake-like clouds adorning her peak, I gaze past the big white house toward her uplifted boulders. And at the South, Mt. San Jacinto has lost his head in cloud. Burned bones against a blue sky backdrop. Between the two, another sunrise gleams and beams of brilliant, white-hot day flash forth: They accentuate the Sonora desert’s west extreme, and last night’s moon, high up on the left, forgot to go away.
Inside a home in Petaling Jaya, Wing-Sun, a 10 year old Chinese boy sits cross-legged on the cool tile floor, watching the delicate tendrils of smoke rise from the joss sticks his father has just placed in the family altar’s bronze urn. The flickering candlelight casts shifting shadows over the framed portraits of the ancestors, their solemn faces gazing out from another time. Wing-Sun's father, dressed in crisp slacks and a neatly pressed white shirt, murmurs a quiet prayer, his voice low and rhythmic. Beside him, Wing-Sun’s mother clasps her hands together in a quiet moment of respect before adjusting the jade bangle on her wrist. Their morning ritual is a quiet, practiced thing; one they perform, and Wing-Sun observes, every day.

Conversation with Gemini You said Please help me write a prompt for ArtStyles about 1 Chronicles 7:2 (KJV) 2 And the sons of Tola; Uzzi, and Rephaiah, and Jeriel, and Jahmai, and Jibsam, and Shemuel, heads of their father's house, to wit, of Tola: they were valiant men of might in their generations; whose number was in the days of David two and twenty thousand and six hundred . I would like each man have some aspect of the meaning of his Hebrew name present and I want Uzzi to actually have an Uzi. Gemini said That is a wild and creative request—I love the literal interpretation of "Uzzi" having an Uzi! It adds a fun, "anachronistic-action-movie" vibe to a classic biblical genealogy. Since you’re using ArtStyles, we’ll want to lean into high-contrast lighting, epic scale, and specific visual metaphors for those Hebrew names. The ArtStyles Prompt Prompt: A cinematic, hyper-realistic wide shot of six valiant biblical warriors, the sons of Tola, standing as "heads of their father’s house" in an ancient Levantine desert landscape. In the center, Uzzi is a massive, muscular commander clad in bronze armor, incongruously wielding a modern tactical Uzi submachine gun with gold engravings. Surrounding him are his brothers: Rephaiah holding a staff entwined with healing herbs; Jeriel standing atop a massive foundation stone looking toward heaven; Jahmai enveloped in a warm, protective golden aura; Jibsam wearing a garland of fragrant desert lilies; and Shemuel in a posture of listening, hand to his ear as if hearing a divine whisper. In the background, a vast army of 22,600 soldiers stretches to the horizon under the golden sun of King David’s era.

A band of five anthropomorphic cats, depicted as the "Bay City Rollers," performing on a brightly lit stage. They are dressed in matching tartan suits, reminiscent of the band's iconic style. Each cat has expressive facial features, conveying a sense of rock-and-roll energy. The central cat is the lead singer, holding a vintage microphone and wearing a striking tartan suit. To his left, another cat plays a bass guitar. To his right, another cat stands with drumsticks, ready to play. Two other cats complete the band, striking poses with their fists raised in the air, embodying the energetic performance style of the Bay City Rollers. In the background, a large, enthusiastic crowd of blurred, indistinct figures is cheering, illuminated by stage lights. Above the stage, spotlights shine down. The stage itself is dark, allowing the cats and their instruments to stand out. At the bottom of the image, in large, bold, sparkly letters, is the text "CATURDAY NIGHT!" The overall style is vibrant, fun, and captures the retro pop essence of the 1970s.

A giant grouper fish, over a coral reef in the ocean, professional photography, extreme detail ( Psalms 124:1-6 KJVA A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; (2) If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: (3) Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: (4) Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: (5) Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. (6) Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
“And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods. And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink. And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted. And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle. And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods. But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's. And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.” (Genesis 30:37-43, KJV)
