[Serious] If I met Him...
#47
RE: If I met Him...
That's exactly how much of the ot was written, too.

God told me to tell you guys to stop fucking up or king so and so is going to bring you down. -says a prophet

He told you so - says the historian.

Proceeding through the story - there's a level of familiarity with the roll of kings assumed by the narrative of the audience, and the OT is a running list of grievances that one part of a state had with another part, that one part of a culture had with another part - in which each is constantly predicting the others demise at the hands of so and so as divine retribution against gods laws. Laws conceived of as the best laws. Against gods traditions. Traditions conceived of as the best traditions. The failure to uphold the terms of gods covenant are interchangeable with good governance and, to a post diaspora world, explained their current predicament by reference to an idealized past and the failures of their society in general and leaders in particular.

FWIW, we can absolutely believe that some social commentator saw armies on the horizon and knew that the other guy was fucked, and insomuch as the events that one side or another predicted ended up coming to pass that would lend credibility to their pov, including their notions of the cause of the events. Things to be avoided in future.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
