In Old Testament times a group of 12 - 15 Hebrew men and women on pilgrimage ascend a steep road toward Jerusalem and the Temple, headed for the feast of the Passover.  They each carry their own bag, sachel or bedroll.  Anticipation fills the air as the set out on their journey.
"A dramatic, full-body portrait of Arnold Schwarzenegger as a Steampunk Terminator, standing powerfully in a richly detailed Victorian-era workshop. Arnold's iconic Terminator face is visible, with a glowing red eye, partially obscured by an intricate, metallic eyepatch and visible cybernetic components around his neck and face. He wears a heavy, dark brown leather duster coat over a tailored waistcoat and trousers, all adorned with brass buckles, gears, and leather straps. His left arm is a formidable steampunk prosthetic, crafted from polished brass, copper, and exposed gears, ending in a massive, Gatling-gun-like weapon integrated into the forearm. His right hand wears a finely detailed leather glove with metallic accents. The background of the workshop is filled with vintage machinery, pressure gauges, steam pipes, exposed brick walls, and the soft glow of gas lamps. Smoke or steam gently drifts through the air, adding to the atmospheric industrial setting. The overall aesthetic is gritty, sophisticated, and perfectly blends the sci-fi elements of the Terminator with the intricate mechanical beauty of steampunk

“The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him: But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)” (Genesis 49:23-24, KJV)
Without using words create “Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground? When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place? For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him. For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod. Bread corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his horsemen. This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.” (Isaiah 28:24-29, KJV)

When you pass through the waters,
    I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
    they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
    you will not be burned;
    the flames will not set you ablaze.

The feeling of dawn
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. 
(Hebrews 2:14-18 KJV)

An interior scene.  An old Bible with dog-eared pages, a black leather cover, and words of Christ in red sits open on a table.  The camera sees the Bible at a 45 degree angle.  The table and chair are old and worn, sitting on a worn carpet on a wood plank floor.  There are some pens and highlighters, along with a  red ribbon bookmark, a half-empty drink and some paper clips.  The room is in low-light, and a small window is in the background.  Someone has been studying and just stepped away for a moment.  Some lines in the Bible are highlighted yellow.
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.”
