Welcome to Strictly Fiction, a little side room off the main weave of Thought Tapestries. The heart of this blog lives in Scripture-based stories—taking deep, sometimes tangled biblical thoughts and spinning them into clear, relatable narratives that invite reflection and connection. Occasionally, though, a purely fictional idea takes hold: fun, imaginative stories with soft echoes of faith, but no direct anchor in any verse. These pieces aren’t meant to teach doctrine or unpack Scripture—they’re just creative detours, written for enjoyment and a bit of wonder. Feel free to wander in, read, and smile. When you’re ready, the main tapestry is always waiting.
Vacuum Nomad Colonies
In the vast emptiness between stars, the Vacuum Nomad Colonies drifted like ancient caravans, their ring-shaped habitats linked by tenuous tethers of alloy and light. Generations had passed since the Great Exodus, leaving behind the clamor of planetary atmospheres for the purity of void, where communication flowed through phonon waves in hulls and photon streams in neural webs—“the heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” Captain Lira Voss commanded the central ring, her augmented senses attuned to the subtle vibrations that rippled across the fleet’s structure.
One cycle, as the fleet skirted a rogue asteroid field, a distant impact registered on the sensors: a meteor glancing off an outer module, sending silent shockwaves through the vacuum gaps. Lira felt it first—a faint conduction through her chair, like a whisper without breath. “Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.” The AI oracle, a crystalline node embedded in the command deck, hummed with data, projecting holographic waveforms that danced in the airless chamber.
Crew members gathered, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of light implants. Engineer Kai traced the phonon cascade on his tablet, murmuring, “There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard.” Yet the disturbance propagated, electron-like bumps chaining through the habitat’s lattice, exciting quantum fields that no ear could perceive. In the isolated modules, nomads floating in zero-g felt nothing—unobserved, the event hovered in superposition, possibilities branching like wistful shadows.
Lira activated the fleet-wide link, her thoughts beaming as photons from node to node, unimpeded by the void. “The declarations are here,” she transmitted, and the AI responded with a vision: the asteroid’s trail etching a path across the stars, its silent testimony reaching the fleet’s edge. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. The nomads pondered this in their meditative bays, where vacuum gaps amplified the mystical hum of creation—vibrations without medium, light without end.
As the fleet corrected course, another ripple echoed from the impact site, conduction waves merging with incoming starlight. Kai leaned closer to Lira. “It’s as if the void itself is preaching—collisions in fields we barely grasp, declaring order amid chaos.” “They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard.” The colonies pressed onward, their inhabitants renewed by the wordless sermon of the cosmos, a space opera scripted in silent declarations that needed no audience to resound eternally.
Affect of the Unheard Tree
In the shimmering halls of the Nexus Academy, orbiting the gas giant Epsilon Eridani in the year 2847, a cadre of scholars gathered around a holographic projection of an ancient Earth forest. The air hummed with the soft whir of neural implants syncing thoughts, as they debated the timeless riddles of existence amid stars that had long outlived their progenitors. “Reality is affected—shaped, determined, realized—through perception,” intoned the lead philosopher, her voice echoing like a quantum echo in the void, drawing from forgotten texts that had survived the Great Digitization. Her colleague, a grizzled quantum historian with eyes augmented by probability lenses, leaned forward, countering with a wry smile: “But consider the distinction: the Observer Affect ties to that old idealist, where there’s no event without the perceiver to cause it, no tree falling without a mind to constitute its crash.” The group murmured, their minds linking in a shared simulation where a virtual tree teetered on the brink of collapse, its branches fractal patterns of unresolved wave functions.
As the debate intensified, a young acolyte projected a shimmering diagram of superimposed states, her enthusiasm cutting through the scholarly fog. “In quantum fields, it’s the Observer Effect—measurement collapses the superposition, an interaction that effects a change, not consciousness weaving reality from nothing,” she argued, gesturing at the hologram where particles danced in probabilistic haze until a detector’s gaze pinned them down. The elder scholar nodded, his implant flickering with archived wisdom: “Yet people don’t like the word ‘affect,’ preferring ‘effect’ for its concreteness, losing the nuance that English once held—a living language where distinctions fade like echoes in an empty cosmos.” Laughter rippled through the assembly, but the lead philosopher raised a hand, her tone grave: “That’s the test that proves the rule; not being common sharpens the insight. Without the observer, there’s no sensible event, no cause or effect in the material sense—reality isn’t out there waiting, it’s affected into being.”
The hologram shifted, now depicting a solitary tree in a digital wilderness, its fall suspended in eternal potential. “If a tree falls in this simulated forest and no mind perceives it, does it make a sound?” posed the quantum historian, invoking the age-old puzzle that had bridged eras. The acolyte responded swiftly: “In the Affect of the Unheard Tree, sound is the perceived idea, not mere vibrations—without perception, no realization, no shape to the crash.” The group fell silent, their neural links pulsing with shared epiphany, as the virtual tree finally tumbled in slow motion, its unheard roar a metaphor for the debates that would echo through future academies. In that moment, amid the stars, they glimpsed how ancient questions persisted, reframed by technology yet unchanged at their core: perception as the architect of all that was, is, or could be.
Stellar Drift
Chapter 1: The Landing at Elysium Prime
The Weaver ship Stellar Drift hummed softly as it emerged from the network’s fold, materializing in the hazy dawn skies of Elysium Prime. The planet was a jewel in the Orion Arm—lush forests veiling ancient ruins, oceans that whispered secrets to the wind. For the Weaver Clan aboard, this was just another layover, a brief tether to solid ground before the call of the stars pulled them onward. But for the Planeteers below, the arrival of these nomadic surfers of spacetime was always a mix of awe and unease.
Captain Lira Voss, a seasoned Weaver with neural implants glowing faintly under her skin, guided the ship to the landing pad at the colony’s edge. Her clan—two dozen strong, clad in sleek, adaptive suits that shimmered like liquid starlight—disembarked into the crisp air. Waiting for them were the Planeteers: sturdy folk rooted to their world, led by Mayor Harlan Reyes, a broad-shouldered man with soil-stained hands and a wary smile.
“Welcome back to Elysium, Weavers,” Harlan said, his voice booming over the hum of idling engines. He extended a hand, but his eyes flicked to their implants, the subtle hum of zero-momentum fields that made the air around them feel… off. “We’ve prepared the resupply as requested. Fusion cells, hydroponics yields, and those rare earths you fancy for your node-tuners.”
Lira clasped his hand firmly, ignoring the faint static of discomfort in the air. “Much appreciated, Mayor. The network’s been fickle lately—storms from a black hole merger in the Perseus Cluster. We won’t linger long.”
The groups mingled awkwardly in the colony square. Planeteers like young engineer Kira Sol, with her toolkit slung over one shoulder, eyed the Weavers’ ethereal grace. “They move like ghosts,” she muttered to Harlan. “Never fully here, always half in some cosmic dream.”
One Weaver, a lanky youth named Jax Renn, overheard and chuckled. “Ghosts? Nah, we’re just tuned to the hum of the universe. You Planeteers are the anchors—solid, unyielding. Envy that sometimes.”
Harlan forced a laugh, but tension simmered. Supplies were exchanged, but whispers spread: Why do they never stay? Do they look down on us dirt-bound folk?
Chapter 2: Bridging the Void
As evening fell, the groups gathered around a communal fire pit in the square, flames dancing under a canopy of alien stars. The discomfort peaked when a Planeteer elder grumbled about a recent network glitch that delayed shipments, stranding a medical convoy.
“It’s your surfing that stirs up those storms,” the elder accused, pointing a gnarled finger at Lira. “We pay the price down here, waiting on whims of the void.”
Lira’s eyes narrowed, but she held her temper. “The network isn’t ours to command—it’s the cosmos’s backbone. We’ve learned that the hard way.” She glanced at her clan, nodding subtly. “Perhaps it’s time to share the old tale. The one that nearly ended it all.”
Jax leaned forward, his voice dropping to a storyteller’s cadence. “It was back in the 2040s, on Luna’s far side. Our forebears—raw scientists, not yet Weavers—tried to tickle a Zero Node with an entangled photon. Thought it’d prove the web’s entanglement, nothing more.”
Kira, the engineer, sat up straighter. “I’ve heard fragments. A solar flare cover-up?”
“Flare? Ha,” Jax scoffed. “The node bit back. Amplified the link into a vortex—spacetime twisted like a pretzel. The outpost nearly imploded, satellites flung like toys. Worse, temporal echoes flooded in: Ghosts of futures where the network shattered, galaxies unraveling in accelerated expansion.”
Harlan’s face paled. “And Earth?”
“Tsunamis from a glitched tidal lock,” Lira interjected gravely. “Cities flooded, minds scarred by unlived nightmares. One engineer severed the link with an EMP pulse—saved us by a heartbeat. That’s why we Weave with care now. Respect the stillness, or it swallows you.”
The fire crackled in silence, the story bridging the gap. Kira nodded slowly. “So that’s why you nomads train like monks. We thought it arrogance.”
“Not arrogance,” Jax said softly, meeting her eyes. “Survival.”
Chapter 3: Sparks in the Stillness
As the night deepened, the groups thawed. Planeteers shared stories of taming Elysium’s wilds—battling megastorms, coaxing crops from alien soil. Weavers recounted node-jumps: Surfing folds where stars blurred into rainbows, emerging light-years away with hearts pounding.
Jax found himself drawn to Kira. While others bartered tech, they wandered the colony’s edge, overlooking bioluminescent forests. “You build worlds,” he said, admiring her sketches of a new habitat dome. “We just pass through them. What’s it like, putting down roots?”
Kira smiled, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. “Grounding. Predictable. But sometimes… stifling. I envy your freedom—the stars at your fingertips.”
Their hands brushed as she showed him a holographic blueprint, a spark igniting. Jax felt a pull stronger than any node resonance. “Kira, I… this feels real. Not just a layover chat.”
She met his gaze, warmth in her eyes. “Me too. But Jax, you’re a Weaver. Born to the drift. I’m tied here—family, the colony. We’d tear each other apart.”
He sighed, the truth stinging. “Yeah. The network calls us back. Always does. Roots and wings… they don’t mix.”
They parted with a lingering glance, the impossibility hanging like unspoken gravity.
Chapter 4: Departures and Debates
Dawn broke as the Stellar Drift powered up, Weavers boarding with fresh supplies and heavier hearts. Lira piloted the ascent, the planet shrinking to a blue-green marble below.
In the common hold, the clan decompressed. “Solid folk, those Planeteers,” one Weaver mused. “But so… static.”
Jax stared out a viewport, Elysium fading. “Static? They’re alive in ways we’re not. Building legacies that last generations. We chase horizons, but what do we leave behind?”
Lira nodded thoughtfully. “The divide’s real. Weavers thrive on the hum—the zero-momentum trance keeps us sharp, extends our years. But it isolates us. Planeteers ground the empire, feed it, innovate from stability. Without them, we’re just ghosts in the machine.”
Another clan member chimed in. “And without us? They’re stranded islands in a sea of stars. The catastrophe taught us balance—Weave lightly, respect the anchors.”
Jax smiled faintly. “Maybe one day, bridges stronger than nodes. Hybrids who root and fly.”
The ship slipped into the fold, stars streaking as they jumped to the next node.
Epilogue: Echoes of the Everyday
Back on Elysium Prime, Kira returned to her workshop, tweaking dome designs under the morning sun. Harlan clapped her shoulder. “Good trade with the Weavers?”
“Yeah,” she said, a distant look in her eyes. “Opened my mind a bit.”
Across the galaxy, on a bustling hub world, a Planeteer farmer harvested node-tuned crops, pulsing with cosmic energy. In the void, Weavers like Jax attuned to a new jump, the network’s hum a constant companion.
Life flowed on—roots digging deep, wings soaring high—each thread in the grand web, weaving the universe’s quiet symphony.
Unspoken Promise
In the hallowed halls of the Ecumenical Institute for Biblical Studies, nestled amid the misty peaks of a secluded Swiss retreat, the Grand Council of Theologians convened under the dim glow of antique chandeliers. The year was 2047, a time when quantum theology and AI-assisted exegesis were commonplace, yet the ancient debates still burned with fervor. Seated around a massive oak table etched with timelines of sacred history were seven scholars, each a titan in their field: Dr. Elias Hawthorne, PhD in Old Testament Studies from Oxford; Professor Miriam Alvarez, Master’s in Comparative Religion from Harvard and a doctorate in Second Temple Judaism from Yale; Reverend Dr. Theo Langford, holder of dual PhDs in Patristics and Hermeneutics from Cambridge; Sister Helena Voss, PhD in Canon Law from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome; Dr. Raj Patel, Master’s in Intertestamental Literature from Princeton and a PhD in Apocryphal Texts from the University of Chicago; Professor Lydia Chen, PhD in New Testament Archaeology from Jerusalem University; and Chair Emeritus Dr. Victor Stein, with a litany of degrees including a DPhil in Historical Theology from Heidelberg.
The agenda was singular: the so-called “400-Year Silence” between the prophet Malachi’s final oracle (circa 430 BC) and the angelic announcements heralding the New Testament era. Dr. Hawthorne, a staunch Protestant evangelical with a neatly trimmed beard and a voice like rolling thunder, opened the proceedings.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” he intoned, adjusting his wire-rimmed glasses, “the silence is not merely historical—it’s providential. From Malachi’s warning of a coming Elijah to the hush that enveloped Judea under Persian, Greek, and Roman yokes, God orchestrated a divine pause. No prophets arose, no new scriptures were penned, allowing the world to ripen for the Messiah. Amos 8:11 speaks of a famine for the word of the Lord, and history bears this out: Alexander’s Hellenization spread the Greek tongue for the Gospel, Roman roads paved the way for apostles, yet heaven remained mute. This gap underscores the canon—our 39 Old Testament books end precisely there, building eschatological tension resolved in Matthew.”
Professor Alvarez leaned forward, her silver earrings catching the light, a subtle smile playing on her lips. With her background in Second Temple Judaism, she was no stranger to challenging Protestant paradigms. “Dr. Hawthorne, your ‘silence’ is a Reformation-era construct, born from Luther’s disdain for the Septuagint’s fuller canon. What of the deuterocanonicals? 1 and 2 Maccabees chronicle the heroic revolt against Antiochus Epiphanes around 167 BC—miracles, martyrdoms, and divine interventions abound. Tobit and Judith offer tales of faithfulness amid exile, Wisdom of Solomon echoes Proverbs with Hellenistic flair. These weren’t whispers; they were shouts from God through His people during your alleged quietude. The early Church Fathers, from Augustine to Jerome, wrestled with them, but the Councils of Hippo and Carthage affirmed their inspiration. To call it silence is to mute the voices of our Catholic and Orthodox forebears.”
Reverend Dr. Langford, ever the patristic peacemaker, steepled his fingers, his Cambridge accent lending gravitas. “Indeed, Miriam, but let’s not overlook the pseudepigrapha. My dual doctorates compel me to note the Book of Enoch, quoted verbatim in Jude, or Jubilees from the Qumran scrolls—these texts pulsed with apocalyptic energy, shaping the messianic expectations that John the Baptist fulfilled. Was God silent, or were we simply not listening to the echoes? Eusebius classified some as ‘disputed,’ yet they bridge the testaments seamlessly. The silence thesis romanticizes history but ignores the vibrant Judaism of the era, from Essenes to Pharisees.”
Sister Helena Voss, her habit a stark contrast to the room’s opulence, nodded vigorously, drawing on her Vatican-honed expertise. “Precisely, Theo. In Orthodox tradition, the silence is a myth perpetuated by a truncated canon. Baruch, appended to Jeremiah, prophesies from the Babylonian exile’s aftermath, extending into intertestamental woes. And Sirach? A treasure trove of ethical wisdom, cited by the Desert Fathers. If we accept only the Masoretic Text’s boundaries, we excise God’s ongoing dialogue. The Septuagint, used by Christ Himself, includes these—why impose a 400-year void when the Spirit was active in synagogues and scrolls?”
Dr. Patel interjected with a wry chuckle, his Chicago PhD sharpening his analytical edge. “But let’s ground this in historiography, shall we? My studies in apocryphal texts reveal no absolute quiet—Philo and Josephus document theological ferment. Daniel’s prophecies unfold in real-time during this period: the ‘abomination of desolation’ in Maccabees mirrors Antiochus’s temple defilement. Silence? Hardly. It was a symphony of resistance and revelation, even if not all notes made the final score. The debate isn’t about absence but authority: who decides the canon’s edges?”
Professor Chen, the archaeologist, tapped her tablet, projecting holographic fragments from Dead Sea digs. “From my excavations, the silence crumbles under evidence. Scrolls from 200 BC show communities awaiting the Teacher of Righteousness—a clear prelude to Jesus. If we view it as silence, it’s poetic license, not fact. My Jerusalem doctorate taught me: history whispers through artifacts, even when texts fall quiet.”
Chair Emeritus Dr. Stein, the elder statesman with his Heidelberg gravitas, cleared his throat to mediate. “Colleagues, this council mirrors Jamnia or Nicaea—debate refines truth. The 400 years may symbolize anticipation, but as scholars, we must weigh tradition against text. Is it silence, or a sacred interlude? Let us deliberate further…”
As the arguments ebbed and flowed, alliances shifted like sands in the Judean desert, each scholar’s credentials lending weight to their words. Outside, snow fell softly, blanketing the world in a hush that mirrored the very epoch they dissected—profound, yet pregnant with unspoken promise.
The Divided Crown
A Historical Narrative
Chapter 1: The Fortified Heart
Captain Amariah stood on the wall of one of the new border fortresses Jehoshaphat had raised, gazing north toward Israel where smoke still drifted from altars to Baal. The king had come to the throne with fire in his heart. He removed the high places and the groves, strengthened the fortified cities of Judah against the northern kingdom, and in the third year of his reign sent princes—Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Michaiah—together with Levites and priests to carry the Book of the Law of the Lord through all the cities of Judah and teach the people. Amariah had ridden with those bands once, watching farmers and shepherds gather in village squares to hear the words of Moses read aloud while the king moved among them as one who sought the God of his father and did not turn aside to the Baals.
That evening he came home to the small stone house below Jerusalem. Miriam was kneading dough by the hearth, flour dusting her dark hair. As he set his belt aside he told her, “The envoys are going north again. Talk of peace.” Miriam paused and answered, “Peace is good.” With Ahab? With Jezebel’s house? Amariah sat down heavily and asked, “Can we save Israel by clasping hands with idolaters when the Law is clear—do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers?” She came near, wiped her hands, and said, “The king once sent teachers to every village so the people would know the Law. Perhaps he believes the Law can heal the north as well.” Amariah stared into the fire and admitted, “Perhaps. But I fear the north will swallow Judah before it is healed.”
Chapter 2: The Day of Singing
Scouts rode in at dawn with dust on their cloaks and fear in their voices—Moab, Ammon, and a great multitude from beyond the sea had already reached En Gedi. Amariah rallied the companies and marched south. The enemy appeared as a dark sea filling the valley. Jehoshaphat arrived with the army and the Levite singers. In the open place before the people the king stood and prayed aloud, “O Lord God of our fathers, are You not God in heaven? … We have no power against this great multitude that comes against us … nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.”
Then Jahaziel the Levite spoke among the assembly, “Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. … Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you.” The next morning the king appointed singers to go before the men of war. Amariah marched in the front ranks, sword still in its sheath, hearing the choir lift their voices into the dry air, “Give thanks to the Lord, for His mercy endures forever.”
Halfway down the ascent they came upon the enemy camp—Moabites and Ammonites lying dead across the valley floor, having turned their swords on one another in the night. For three days Judah gathered spoil: armor, weapons, garments, jewels. When Amariah reached home Miriam met him at the door while the dust of the road still clung to him. His voice was rough as he told her, “We sang, and the Lord fought.” She touched his face and said, “This is what a king who trusts looks like.” He nodded, but something in him hesitated and he murmured, “May it last.”
Chapter 3: The First Thread
Within months word returned from Samaria that Ahab sought alliance. Jehoshaphat rode north with Amariah in his escort. In the palace the two kings made peace, and the marriage was arranged—Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat would wed Athaliah the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel.
Riding home under a quiet sky Amariah told Miriam by lamplight, “The king has tied Judah’s future to Jezebel’s daughter. Baal will have a chamber in Jerusalem before long.” Miriam folded her hands and said, “He believes he can save Israel by drawing them near.” He answered, “He believes he can save them, but I fear he will lose himself.”
Chapter 4: Ramoth-Gilead
Next came the call to war—Ramoth-Gilead held by Aram. Ahab summoned Jehoshaphat to join him. Amariah marched at the king’s side. In Ahab’s court four hundred prophets promised victory, yet Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there not still a prophet of the Lord here, that we may inquire of him?”
Micaiah was summoned. Reluctant, he said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd.” Ahab went into battle disguised; Jehoshaphat rode in royal robes. Arrows flew. One found Ahab between the joints of his armor. He died at sunset. Jehoshaphat escaped in the night, his chariot pierced.
In Jerusalem the prophet Jehu met him at the gate and asked, “Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the Lord?” The king bowed his head. For a season he turned again to the Law, appointing judges and charging them, “Take heed to what you are doing, for you do not judge for man but for the Lord, who is with you in the judgment.”
Amariah watched and hoped, “Perhaps the rebuke has turned him.” Miriam only said, “A rebuke is not a heart changed.”
Chapter 5: The Wells Run Dry
Moab rebelled against Jehoram son of Ahab. Jehoram called Jehoshaphat to the alliance. Amariah led Judah’s contingent through the wilderness of Edom. After seven days the water failed; men and beasts staggered.
Jehoram cried, “Alas! The Lord has called these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab.” Jehoshaphat answered, “Is there no prophet of the Lord here, through whom we may inquire of the Lord?” A servant of Jehoram said, “Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.”
They went to the prophet. Elisha looked at Jehoram with contempt and said, “As the Lord of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you nor see you. But now bring me a musician.” As the musician played the hand of the Lord came upon Elisha. He said, “Make this valley full of ditches. … You shall see neither wind nor rain, yet the valley shall be filled with water so that you, your livestock, and your animals may drink.”
Water came by night, filling the ditches. At dawn Moab saw the valley red and thought it blood. They rushed in; Israel struck them down. Cities fell, fields were laid waste. Yet when the king of Moab offered his firstborn son on the wall as a burnt offering, great indignation came upon Israel, and they withdrew.
Amariah stood among the returning men. At home he told Miriam, “We once stood still and saw the Lord fight. This time we fought beside idolaters, and when the moment came, we fled.”
Chapter 6: The Broken Ships
Later the ships were built at Ezion-Geber. Jehoshaphat and Ahaziah son of Ahab would trade together to Ophir. Amariah oversaw the guard.
The fleet rose beautiful—cedar and pine, sails like wings. Then Eliezer the prophet came with the word of the Lord, “Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the Lord has destroyed your works.” A storm rose. The ships broke apart before they ever left harbor.
Amariah walked the wreckage beside Miriam. He said, “After the day of singing, after the rebuke, after the wells and the sacrifice—he allied again. And again. This is no longer a king who seeks first. This is a king who hopes the next alliance will succeed where the last one failed.” Miriam laid her hand on his and said, “Salvation does not come from kings or ships or armies. It comes from the Lord.”
Chapter 7: The Silent Watchman
Jehoshaphat grew old. The crown passed to Jehoram, and with it Athaliah’s shadow lengthened. Amariah stood at the king’s burial in the city of David.
That night by the hearth he told Miriam, “I thought perhaps we could save Israel—bring them back by friendship, by marriage, by shared battles. But the king who once taught the Law to every village ended by building ships with idolaters.” Miriam looked at him steadily and said, “You saw the high point. You saw the slide. Now you see what remains.” He nodded and said, “What remains is to guard what is true. Here. In this house. With our children. The Lord fights when we seek Him first. I will teach them that.”
Outside, the wind moved over Jerusalem. Somewhere north, altars still smoked. But in Judah a small light burned steady.
And Amariah kept watch.
