“And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.” (Luke 1:63, KJV)
First century Jerusalem at the "gate beautiful" to the temple grounds.  Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple. Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms. And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.” And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.

BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND GIVE BIRTH TO A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL - which when translated, means GOD WITH US. Matthew 1:23 Please include the verse in the illustration
Siu Zi is a 10 year old Chinese girl in Guangzhou. Late one humid evening, Siu Zi's father meets with a discreet man known simply as Mr. Chen.  In a quiet corner of a small teahouse near the back alleys of Guangzhou, Mr. Chen explains, in careful whispers, how he can help the family obtain the documents they needed to leave the country safely. Other patrons are in the teahouse, and a waiter stands nearby, but nobody can hear what Mr. Chen is saying.  It's safe to talk here.

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.
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.
A simple cartoon-style propaganda poster drawn with bold, thick marker lines. Use a limited color palette of bright red, dark navy blue, white, and small black outlines. At the top, include a cool, bold propaganda-style font that looks hand-drawn with marker, saying: “FOUR LEGS GOOD, TWO LEGS BETTER!” Make the word “BETTER” much larger and more dramatic. In the center, show a group of white sheep with simple cartoon faces, wide excited eyes, and big happy smiles, cheering together. The sheep should look identical and drawn with simple marker outlines. They are looking at a pig who is walking upright on two legs in a bright spotlight. The pig should be glowing or surrounded by simple marker-drawn light rays to show fake admiration. Add confetti, simple celebration lines, and maybe one sheep holding a small sign. The background should use strong blocks of red and navy blue, like a simple propaganda poster. Include very simple outlines of a barn or farmhouse in the background. Overall style: cute cartoon, clean, bold marker strokes, easy shapes, limited colors, and a brainwashed, energetic vibe.

The monster (Mt. San Gorgonio) rises in the North, 	all hoary-frost above behemoth shoulders.  Snake-like clouds adorning her, I crane my neck, Gaze fixed past the big white house toward uplifted boulders.
And at the South, like his namesake martyr, Hyacinth (Mt. San Jacinto) has lost his head in cloud.  Burned bones against a blue backdrop
	he wears that legacy proud.  Between the two, another sunrise gleams and beams of brilliant, white-hot day flash forth:  Accentuate Sonora’s west extremes, and last night’s moon forgot to go away.

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!

Out where the river runs wild and free
and only the brave dare row;
where the rapids are deep, and the challenge is fresh
and it takes them where it means to go.
With breakneck speed, grinning into the wind,
standing straight on the bow of their craft,
just a glimpse now and then of those captains you’ll catch
flying by, near capsizing your raft.

They’ve no time for advice to those standing on shore
or to aid the ones just wading out,
for their task is to pilot this current, they think,
and it’s all they can do to stay out of the drink,
and their lives could be gone in the space of a wink
should they lose but a moment to doubt.
Standing tall, they never must doubt!

"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

Foreground: Lady Liberty the lower center of the composition. She appears gaunt, exhausted, and emotionally hollowed out, with sunken cheeks and staring directly at the viewer. Theupper spikes of her crown have broken off, leaving jagged, broken bases. Tiny figures are falling from the rectangular viewing windows in the crown.

Midground: Trump looms larger (30%), behind Lady Liberty. He grips the remaining outer crown spikes with both hands and pulls downward with all his might, trying to break the crown apart. His expression is cold, focused, and domineering. His hair is thinning, and his scalp is showing. He stares directly at the viewer while slightly tilting his head downward and his gaze upward, creating a looming, predator-like perspective.

Background: Xi Jinping towers even larger behind Trump (30%). He is broader, calmer, and more physically solid than Trump, with a full face and thick dark hair. His hands grip Trump’s shoulders, and his fingers dig into them like claws, piercing the flesh. Xi’s posture is controlled ownership. He also stares directly at the viewer, leaning slightly forward with his gaze angled upward to intensify the towering perspective.

Use exaggerated perspective so each figure stacks and enlarges upward.

The atmosphere should feel oppressive, authoritarian, and on the verge of collapse.
