Apocalyptic Visions Just Prophet Reliving Each Time He Didn’t Grasp Girls Were Flirting With Him

He channels those crushing moments into tirades about the devastation that awaits people who deceive, oppress, or rob.

Jerusalem, January 16 – A seer known for his fiery descriptions of divine retribution for injustice and immoral behavior achieves the gritty, visceral detail necessary to convey the depths of wrongdoers’ eventual suffering by wallowing in his own feelings of shame and foolishness as he recalls the incidents during which attractive females attempted to strike up conversations, with an eye toward intimacy, but he remained unaware at the time and brushed them off, only to realize several minutes, hours, days, or even months later what opportunities he had squandered in his obtuseness, the man disclosed today.

“Armageddon will pale in comparison to the fate that awaits those who exploit the poor,” intoned Jedidiah, son of Mikhyahu, of Shiloh. “The burning humiliation will adhere to you till the end of days, and even the last of your decomposing flesh in the Belly of Sheol will yet feel the daggers of indignity violating you.” The prophet’s terminology came directly from his recollection of the time Abigael, the comely eldest daughter of one of Jaffa’s leading citizens, kept trying to find excuses to be alone with him, while he took her at her word and treated her only as a petitioner who just wanted to know where to find a lost necklace, which he could not do, because it did not exist, until eventually she despaired and went back home.

Only upon departing the town several days later did the realization hit Jedidiah, and he fell to his knees. He now puts the full emotional force of that memory into his prophecies of doom.

A similar dynamic pervades the visionary’s continual reliving of the episode in which, while he was training to become a prophet, a group of shepherdesses brought their flock to the wilderness hillside where he had sought some solitude and quiet to engage in some required mental exercises. Two pretty girls brought their animals much closer than necessary, and asked him questions about his activities while giggling and complimenting his bravery for spending so much time alone in such a dangerous place, and then they steered the conversation toward knowing talk of breeding and husbandry, but because he knew little of the profession, could not offer any input.

Three weeks later, after completing one of the solitude exercises in the same spot, he comprehended the magnitude of his previous obliviousness. He then channeled that crushing moment into tirades about the devastation that awaits people who deceive, oppress, or rob, with special venom reserved for the judicially and politically corrupt.
