#menahem

haven’t posted art here in a hot sec, here’s Epsilon (black cat), a juvenile reaper and Menahem (doberman) a lower deity of redemption and peaceful death. Menahem has quite the temper, but is always trying to help this! He’s rather soft-hearted despite this and likes to bake as a main stress reliever. He sees Epsilon as if they were his lil sibling and likes to give them baking lessons

EDIT: realized i used お instead of を.. i am a fool

This was the meme I was thinking about-

[nighttime-radio]

Do you think Death could lose it's patience?

What'd happen if it just-

snapped?

Well, dear caller, I don’t believe in absolute percentages; so while I don’t deny that it is possible for Menahem to lose his patience, I do believe it would scarcely be possible. Patience has been woven into Menahem’s being ever since his creation at the Beginning of Everything… what kind of inexcusable, unforgivable carnage could one possibly create to cause such a thing? I can hardly imagine it… for all who wrong him in life will be held in his inescapable grasp in death one day… every second they breathe, Menahem has that much longer to sharpen his blade…and await Rashida’s verdict… for he would never defy his beloved wife’s decision… after all, she is the Goddess of all things Righteous and Fair… so who is *he* to decide the criminals fate?…

But… what if Rashida wasn’t there to distribute justice?… or, more likely… what if Justice’s guilty verdict called for an early death sentence?…

whatever the case is for this hypothetical situation… I pity anyone who is foolish enough to warrant Menahem’s knocking, as he leads them into an early grave… and if the criminal attempts to evade and hide?… then i fear for us all… for in his patience, there is nothing to swade Menahem’s search… even if it takes an eternity… Menahem will rake through the infinite cosmos, bringing plague and pestilence to smoke them out… the animals will turn rabid… plants will wilt and die… the people will become deranged as they join the hunt… nothing will stop him until the criminal dies by his blade, and is dragged into the labyrinth of Hourglass caverns… damned to roam with whatever lurks in its twisting paths for as long as it takes to serve their sentence… let us hope that the day will never come to pass… thank you for your question caller, it is good to know that someone out there is listening… thanks for tuning in…

the last grain of sand in the hourglass…

I’ve mentioned Menahem before in passing with a few of my tales, and I’ve decided that I should explain who he is… Menahem is the god of Death and Reincarnation… when your time is up, it is he and his reapers who come to carry you from this life to the next… despite human misconceptions, he is not a thief who seeks to hasten your demise, it is rather the opposite; Menahem is kind, patient, and above all, inevitable. He needs not fight against you, and will often fight for you, because why not? He will gather you home eventually, so why not enjoy you first?

Menahem treasures those who fight him most ardently: healers, defenders, survivalists, necromancers, mad scientists, immortality seekers. He lets you pour everything you are into fighting him, denying him, adoring every last scrap of strength, will, and raw determination poured out against him; and when your strength is done and your brilliance run out, he catches you in his bony claws, gathers you close, and whispers “well done dear child, you were magnificent…”

Menahem will not seek to hasten an inevitable end, and will chastise those who seek to hasten Death for others in his stead. slowly and patiently plot, sow, and siphon away from the greatest monsters of the world; Because who are they to hasten Deaths domain?! Who are they to deny Death it’s time and patience?! Who are they to cut short these vital glories that illuminate them so?! Who are they to presume upon his will, that is so much larger and longer than theirs?!

Who are they to call, and presume that Death, of all beings, should obey?

Death is not a hunter, but a gatherer; who is always and eternal, who loves you, and can afford to wait. Who will fight for you and defend you, who will place his hand upon those who would speed you into his embrace, who has no need to rush you, only to great you when you call. Death is kind,

patient,

and, before and above all,

inevitable. His bottom half resembles that of a scorpion; who’s four thin legs can scarcely be heard scuttling across the floor, as he gathers souls across the universe… who’s mighty claws are nigh impossible to escape from, for those who can no longer struggle, will never be let go until it is their time…who’s stinger is commonly misinterpreted as a scythe, with its long, curving blade raised high above his head… ready for the moment to reap what has been sown… who’s exoskeleton is made of carved bone that conceals the dark, wispy visage that can be seen flowing through the cracks… his top half is concealed by a veil tied around his crown-like horns… no one knows when he will come knocking at your door… be it morning or night… rain or shine… 80 years down the line or 9 seconds from now… but until then…

Thanks for tuning in…

The Reign of Menahem in Israel

The Reign of Menahem in Israel

2 Kings 15:17-22 17 In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem the son of Gadi became king over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria. 18 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord; he did not depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin. 19 Pul king of Assyria came against the land; and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver,…

No one likes war, but war is a reality that has existed in human society from the dawn of civilization. With no exception, one characteristic of wars is the extreme violence that goes on in the battlefield. Wars cause much anguish, disruption, destruction, and an untold number of lost lives.

In warfare, nations use different techniques to achieve their…
