This beautiful world that we see bears witness to the beautiful Trinity From the brightest day to the darkest night We see your holy nature and eternal might From the heights of the Ozark mountain range To the vast expanse of the Midwestern planes; The farthest stars in the blackest reach of space all come together to sing your praise. Night sky is a vision of your throne Look up and I realize I can't make it on my own. But this beautiful world in innocence born has by Satan's claws been ripped and torn From the darkest night to the light of day there is cruelty and suffering on display So will you rally the troops at the gates of Hell counteract the black witchery of Azazel, foot gripped in the jaws of Leviathan-- a Trinitarian warfare stretching out for aeons. Night sky is a vision of your throne Look up and I realize I can't make it on my own. I'm down at the end of every rope with my last breath crying out "Lord, you are my only hope." Night sky is a vision of your throne Look up and I realize I can't make it on my own. I'm down at the end of every rope with my last breath crying out to The One, First Cause, Divine Sophia

about

"Azazel taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures. [...] And Enoch went and said: 'Azazel, thou shalt have no peace: a severe sentence has gone forth against thee to put thee in bonds: And thou shalt not have toleration nor request granted to thee, because of the unrighteousness which thou hast taught, and because of all the works of godlessness and unrighteousness and sin which thou hast shown to men.'"--The Book of Enoch

"I submit that the view that the book of Job intends to depict Yahweh as all-controlling and thus behind Job's afflictions is refuted by the fact that when Yahweh sets the record straight, he does not claim that he has the right to do whatever he wants without impunity [...] he rather sets the record straight by calling Job's attention [...] to Leviathan and Behemoth, two formidable [Ancient Near Eastern] cosmic beasts representing chaos and evil that Yahweh must combat to preserve order in the world. They are so formidable that even Yahweh needs a sword as he engages them. As Fredrik Lindstrom notes, Job had held [Yahweh] responsible for all the evils of existence, so [Yahweh] rebuts this charge by pointing to his own continuous combat with evil as manifested in these chaos creatures.'"--Gregory Boyd, The Crucifixion of the Warrior God
