The Genesis Engine

A wild story is opened up here, not your normal take on this story.  Genesis four records Tubal Cain as the first craftsman in bronze and iron. Ancient Near Eastern records and Second Temple writings connect this technological leap directly to antediluvian traditions, the Book of Enoch, and early metallurgy. This investigation examines the Cainite lineage, pre flood technology, and the ancient texts surrounding the origins of early human civilization.

First off, guys, I wanted to apologize to you for taking so long since the last episode. It has been a minute. I'm in the process of doing a doing documentary style episodes and that are coming up in the future. And um and granted, it takes a lot more time to edit and put things together. So I was hitting a stride several weeks back where I was trying to do two to three episodes per week and uh or per week and a half, but I felt like I felt like it and it bugged me. I felt like I wanted more of more quality stuff than just a quantitative approach. So so here we are. And I mentioned I also mentioned this in the community section and in the telegram group that I am working on, and this and it's coming soon, the first documentary that I've done. So that will be on the way hopefully soon. But now we need we need to get started on our subject tonight, and I'm I'm pretty excited about this one. It I so I want you to picture something. Uh, when you stand in a place where you have no shelter, it's easy for us to imagine. Uh there's no perimeter, there's no wall, and there's no guarantee that you're gonna make it through the night. And your brain, I mean, your my brain would anyway, it stops thinking about big philosophical ideas and issues. And but there's a distinct kind of panic that sets in when you realize that you are completely exposed. Um, it narrows down to a single urgent impulse. Just build something, a protection. I need it now. Clear the brush, you stack the stone, you you you build a boundary and you create a space where you control who enters and who stays out. If you were cast out into a cold, indifferent wilderness today, you would do the exact same thing that I'm I'm preempting. I mean, you all of their all of their survival shows that are on television are like this. Shelter is usually the first one that that they build. And and this is which is why when when most people read the story of Cain in Genesis chapter four, um, they completely miss the crime scene that is hiding in plain sight. So Cain murders his brother Abel, he gets banished from the garden sanctuary, and he gets thrust into the wild. And almost immediately the text says he builds a walled, fortified city. Now, obviously, this takes time, but regardless, the building process started almost immediately. And for thousands of years, readers of this story have looked at that that single detail right there and thought, well, of course, of course he did. Well, what else was I mean? I don't know, what else was he supposed to do? He was in exile, he was kicked out, he was trying to survive. It seems like basic human nature. And most people probably never even given this a thought, they just keep on reading. But if you slow down and you look at how the ancient author put this text together, you're gonna see that Cain City was not a um, it was not a desperate attempt to stay alive, it was the first move in a decision, an attempt to build a world where humanity would never ever have to depend on God again. And I'm going to prove that. And and to prove it, look look at the author of um, well, in Genesis, it it does the author does something really weird. Uh, something that almost no one notices on their first read. The book of Genesis is is hugely famous for moving at a terrifying speed. Um, centuries vanish between two lines of text. There are entire generations of human beings, people who who lived, uh raised families, built communities, and then died. Um they passed on. And that gets compressed into five short words. He lived and he died. Now the author worked under strict, I mean, spatial limits on a on a leather scroll, granted, right? There there was zero room for fluff and filler, and if a detail did not fit directly into the bigger story, um it was left out, which makes what happens in the middle of Genesis, uh Genesis 4, actually a crazy liter literary uh um anomaly. So right in the middle of Cain's family line, the lightning fast pacing, it slams on the brakes. And um the author stops the narrative dead in its tracks, and and for three detailed verses, he gives a he gives us a precise, sort of like an inventory style breakdown of three brothers and their inventions. He names Jabal and he in and tells us he created nomadic livestock groups, and he names Jubal and tells us he created stringed instruments and flutes. And then there's Tubal Cain, invented bronze and iron metal working. And now, and for centuries, I mean, literally for centuries, and maybe who knows, even longer than that. But like Sunday school, I I don't think they had Sunday school lessons centuries ago, but these are there were lessons that treated these verses like they were ancient, ancient Bible trivia. It was like a historic little foot, historical footnote explaining where shepherds, musicians, and blacksmiths came from before the flood wiped everything out. Um, to me, that explanation makes absolutely zero sense. An ancient writer who who routinely skips 300 years in a single breath does not pause his text to give you like a tri trivia about ancient Bible hobbies. When a scroll that starves you for detail suddenly slows down to document tense, harps, iron hammers, that those items are not background noise to the story. I think they're a key to the entire mystery of this passage. So, so Jabal, Jubal, and Tubal Cain were not three brothers working on weekend projects in a garage. They were building something. They were building um the three interlocking gears of a single massive human machine. I'll explain. They were taking Cain's crude stone wall and turning it into a civilization that could feed itself, entertain itself, and defend itself without ever having to look back toward the God who banished them to begin with, who who initially who actually put them there. Now, once you see how that machine was put together, the rest of the ancient world, including the dark spiritual um eruption, we'll call it in Genesis 6, it it falls into place, specific places, and it's kind of terrifying. So let me explain. Um to to understand how the three brothers eventually built an entire industrial machine, you have to look at the I mean, it is, it's a blueprint that was laid down by their forefather Cain. And when Cain had axed Abel, the conversation that followed between Cain and God reveals everything about the human um mind or the human psyche under pressure. So you know the story, God pronounces judgment, he he he drives Cain away from the fertile ground and he casts him into exile. And Cain's response isn't repentance like it should be, like he should have repented, but he didn't. It's instead his response is sheer panic. He looks at God and and essentially he says, like he says, My punishment is greater than I can bear. He says, he says to God, he says, You have driven me away today from the face of the ground, and from your face, uh I will be I shall be hidden. I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever, um, whoever finds me will off me. Um Cain is terrified of exposure, and he realizes that the outside sanctuary of Eden, without the protective presence of Yahweh, he is prey. He is he's he's subject to for something to happen to him. And look at how God answers that that fear. He says, God doesn't he doesn't hand Cain a set of like blueprints for armor, God doesn't give him weapons, instead, God makes a sovereign, which a blanket declaration. He, if if anyone kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And then the the text says Yahweh put a mark on Cain. Now, what that mark represented was more important than what it looked like. We tend to focus on what the mark actually was, but that's irrelevant. It was it was a divine covenant warranty, if you will. It was a cosmic promise from the creator that Cain's life was guarded by a decree. And Cain stepped into the wild carrying the single most powerful security guarantee in known existence, in human existence, and the spoken protection of God Himself. That's what it was. He could have walked into the wilderness with nothing but that, but that mark or that word and lived. Nothing would have ever happened to him. The text makes that completely clear. The protection was already in place and it was spoken to spoken to him, and this was before a single stone was ever even stacked. So for generations, people have been completely obsessed over what was the mark of Cain. Well, I don't know, like, was it a brand brand? Was it a tattoo, a visible sign? But the real issue is is what Cain did with the promise that it carried. Genesis 4, it tells us that Cain went away from the presence of Yah of Yahweh and settled in the land of Nod. This was east of Eden. Now in Hebrew, the word Nod literally mean it literally means wandering or like uh uh restless restlessness. It isn't just a point on a map, it it's it is a state of existential instability. Um Cain was sentenced to be a uh Navenad, I think it was what it's like a fugitive and a wanderer. Um the the very next verse drops the revelation that the moment Cain arrives in the land of wandering, he I mean he builds a um a fortified settlement and and and names it after his son Enoch. And Cain responds by building a perimeter, okay, and Cain, so Cain walks into the wilderness and he's holding a covenant mark from God that guarantee literally guarantees his his absolute physical safety. He took one look at that divine mark, he decided it wasn't tangible enough, and he built, this is crazy to me, he built a stone wall to protect himself instead. It doesn't get any crazier than that. So he substituted faith in God's word with faith in human architecture. And that decision right there was not merely a practical thing, it was it was a theological thing. Cain was declaring in stone and mortar that the spoken protection of God was insufficient for him or insufficient at all. So from that moment, so from that moment forward, security would like would no longer be, it would no longer be it would no longer be received or in it or be engineered, and that it would be engineered. And the stone wall in the land of Nod was the foundation of stone of something far larger than just a settlement. But a stone wall can only keep danger out. And to make life without God sustainable, you need more than just walls, you need a system. I'll say Lamech. That's where his family comes in. So six generations after Cain laid those first stone foundations in Nod, his lineage hit a bottleneck. A walled city, it it can offer protection, but the butt like walls don't produce food. If you lock a population inside stone ramparts without a supply chain, your sanctuary becomes a tomb in a matter of weeks or sooner. And the project needed an economic engine here. Okay, so enter the firstborn son of Lamech, Jabal. In Genesis 4, I believe it's verse 20. Check me on that. It gives us a single line about him. It says, Ada bore Jabal, and he was the father of those who live in tents and have like animal or livestock. If you read that with modern eyes, it sounds like Jabal was uh just an ancient shepherd taking his sheep out to graze, which is kind of it's kind of a peaceful, rustic image. Um, but compare Jabal's description with his distant relative Abel back in chapter four. Uh uh, I'm gonna go on a limb saver's verse too. Abel is called a keeper of sheep, raising, raising um flock in direct covenant and relationship with God. And Jabal is called the father of those who dwell in tents and possess um, I think it's called Mikhnah. And the word micnah is is the the sort of like a pivot point in the entire verse. In biblical Hebrew, Mykhnah does it it does not mean a humble flock of sheep kept for family sustenance, it means to purchase, it means to acquire or to hold as property. Mykna it refers to um accumulated wealth, if you will, um, commercial herds, livestock as capital, mobile economic power. And that's that's what the dollar was in those days, essentially. Jabal didn't invent simple animal husbandry, he engineered large-scale, I want to say, cartel-like control. Think about what living in tents with massive mobile herds allowed him to do. By moving huge commercial herds across the wilderness outside the city, Jabal took control of the surrounding territory. I mean, he did. He secured the grazing rights, he monopolized the the water holes, the wells. Okay. Um, he controls the he controlled the meat, he controlled the leather, the wool, the milk, and the trade routes connecting early human settlements around in this huge area. He turned he turned basic human necessity into leverage. If you lived inside Kane City or in the outlying settlements around it, you were you were no longer stepping out into the wild to forage or hunt. You you relied on Jabal's blessing. You relied on Jabal's network for your daily survival. Survival itself, let me get this. Survival itself had been centralized. This is the first true pillar: systemic control over basic survival. And you did not need to look to Yahweh, you did not need to look to God for your daily bread when Jabal's herds were waiting at the city gates for a price. And Cain built the perimeter here. Jabal built the marketplace that made the perimeter sustainable, and yet even a even a fed population gets restless behind stone walls. To keep a city under control, you need more than meat and leather. Okay. You need to control their minds. And that was the job of Jabal's younger brother. Jabal solved the crisis of the stomach, okay? He made sure the city was fed, trade was moving, and survival was centralized. No one really had any any reason to worry about that, about that part. So, but once you feed a population and and lock them safely behind stone walls, you run into a far more dangerous problem, the quiet time. When the sun goes down over a walled city and the and the physical uh the physical labor stops, all the noise comes to a halt, right? Human beings are left alone with their thoughts in the silence and the existential gravity of exile, it creeps back in. You start remembering, right? People start looking up at the night sky and remembering that they were made for something higher. Um, I mean, you think about it, you're feeling that a like uh you're dislocated from something, you're being cut off from the presence of the one who made you. Unocied minds in an ungodly city eventually start asking hard questions. And hard questions can eventually lead to repentance. That is where the second brother comes in, Jubal. In Genesis, what we're hovering in Genesis 4, it records his contribution in a single sentence. It says, uh, his brother's name was Jubal, and he was the father of all those who play the lyre and the pipe. And now we tend to read that through a once again, a presuppositional modern lens, and and picture a gifted musician strumming an acoustic instrument by a campfire, hanging out, you know, whatever, and and uh it's a harmless creative hobby. Now, in the ancient world, music was not that, it was never just mere entertainment. Music was technology, it was liturgical control, um, it was a public atmosphere, and as we as we eventually know, as we eventually know in our day, uh, emotional engineering, the two instruments that are credited to Jubal, um, which was a plucked stringed lyre and and the the wind instrument of a pipe. It represents the complete acoustic spectrum of the ancient world. These were the two instruments. The lyre was the the instrument of royal court ceremonies and formal ritual, and then that you had the pipe, which was the instrument of like a like festival and emotion and even trance. Um, and Jubal engineered the soundscape of a life without God here. Now think about what happens when a ruling class controls the music, it controls the arts, and and the public atmosphere of a city. You st you are you seeing the picture this is building? You control the mood of the population. You dictate what they celebrate, what they mourn, what they revere. I mean, you you really could induce excitement, you could dull people's anxiety, you could create a sense of awe, a sense of awe without God. And Jubal provided the antidote to the terrifying silence of exile. So whenever the citizens of Cain City begin to feel the hollow ache of being separated from their creator from God, um, Jubal's instruments filled the air. He created an artificial sanctuary, essentially, a which was a, I don't know, I guess it was a culture of rhythm, performance, um, uh a simulation that gave people a substitute for the divine presence. And that the quiet is dangerous because the quiet is where the soul starts to remember what it was made for. Jubal's genius here, whether it's good or bad, his it is bad, but it was to make sure that the quiet never lasted long enough for that memory to take root. This is the second pillar, okay? So you had Jabal controlled what went into their bodies, and Jubal controlled what filled their minds. And the physical the physical system had its economy, and the cultural system had its liturgy. And all that was missing here was the third and final piece, the brute force required that to protect it all and enforce its will. Jabal fed the body, Jabal mesmerized the mind, and together the two brothers created a society that was well fed and thoroughly distracted and entertained. But any empire, that's that that's not going to cut it. Any empire built on commercial wealth and cultural distraction eventually runs into a cold, brutal reality. Someone outside your walls is going to want what you have, and someone inside your walls is eventually going to step out of line. You have an economy and that creates wealth, you have a culture that creates loyalty, but to protect that wealth and to enforce that loyalty, you need one final element: a total monopoly on violence. And that brings us to the third brother born to Lamex, second wife, Zillah, and his name is Tubal Cain. In same chapter, same book, Genesis 4, records his birth and his trade, his is what we do, what he does with his hands in one single heavy sentence. Zilla also bore Tubal Cain. He was the forger of all instruments of bronze, bronze, and iron. Now pay close attention to what changed at Tubal Cain's forge. When Cain fit when he killed Abel back in the beginning of the chapter, that that offing was primitive. It was raw, it was emotional, it was manual, it was it was committed with whatever was laying on the ground at the time, whatever he could pick up. It could have been a heavy stone, a wooden club, bare hands. Um, violence in the early world was limited by human muscle, physical endurance, and um, I mean, essentially it would be immediate reach. And two volcanoes. Changed the physics of human conflict forever. And the Hebrew text calls him a lot. It meant like a sharpener, a hammerer, or a fabricator of bronze and iron. Tubul Cain looked into the earth, extracted raw, buried like mineral ores, and built furnaces that were capable of like really intense heat and bent metal to his will. And the text uses language tied to cutting instruments and weaponry. Tubul Cain, excuse me, Tubul Cain industrialized lethal force. He took violence out of the realm of raw human muscle and turned it into a like a mass-producible standardized commodity. With, I mean, if with bronze armor, think about it. Like a man could withstand blows that would have would have gotten rid of his father. With an iron, now with an iron edge, a single soldier could slice through bone with a fraction of the effort or leather shields, whatever the case may be. But something deeper shifted at that forge. Like when violence becomes like efficient, right? It becomes an industrial machine, the moral cost of using it drops. And what once required rage, proximity, and personal risk could now actually be done at a distance with less effort and with greater certainty of result. And the so like the threshold of for bloodshed lowered. Tubal cane gave the the project its teeth. And this is the third and final pillar here. You had industrialized military superiority. Now step back and look at the complete machine. You had Lamex household assembled under one roof. Jabal, he controlled the resources and trade, which just would secure the economy. Jubal controlled the music and atmosphere, capturing the mind. Tubal Cain controlled the forge and the blade, which monopolized force. It was a closed system. They had built a civilization that could feed its people, keep them emotionally pacified, and crush any external I mean, yeah, crush any external threat or internal descent with iron weapons. They had constructed a world where Yahweh was not just ignored, but functionally unnecessary. And once Lamech saw that his sons had completed this machine, he did um, he did something that set the final trajectory of the antediluvian world. He walked up to Tubul Cain's forge, picked up a newly minted blade, and sang a song that turned human deterrence into an act of self-deification. The dude lost his mind. With Tubal Cain's forge burning in the background, the line of Cain reached its logical, terrifying peak. The entire apparatus was operational. It was go-time. It was functioning. All that was missing was a like a manifesto, if you will, which is a a formal declaration of what this new world actually stood for. And Lamech stepped forward to deliver this um this manifesto. In Genesis 4, I believe it's verses 23-24, he gathers his two wives, Ada and Zillah, and recites what stands as the very first poem recorded in human history. He says something like, Ada, Zillah, hear my voice, why you're my wife, you're my wives, and listen to what I say. I have killed a man for wounding me and a young man for striking me. If if Cain had, if his revenge was seven times, then Lamex is 70 times, 77 times. And think about the sheer weight of that moment. Humanity's first uh venture into poetry, right? And song was not a psalm of praise to the Creator. It wasn't, was not a love poem. Here's what it was: it was a cold, calculated boast about retribution. And Lamech spoke, he spoke it into his own home and to his wives. He was established, he was establishing the law of his household and the ethos of the city. He was showing them what held their beautiful world together, which was violence. Like, look carefully at the comparison that he makes here. He says, So, like that you have you have six generations earlier, God granted Cain and Mark that carried sevenfold guarantee of divine vengeance, right? The power rested in Yahweh's word. Lamech looks at that story, he looks down at the he looks down at the fresh iron blade that his son just pulled from the from this forge and multiplies the the number. He says, like, so if Cain's revenge is sevenfold, then Lamech's is 77fold. He takes God's math of protection and turns it into an exponential thread of human error. The message is unmistakable. He's, I don't need a mark from Yahweh, I don't need a divine covenant to keep me safe. I hold the steel here. If anyone so much as scratches me, I will answer with 77 times the force. This is the birth of self-defication. It is the first recorded moment in scripture where a human being claims the right to like to divine justice, claims the right to divine justice independently of God, and backs that claim with industrial power here. Lamech announces a new source of authority. He is essentially the judge, he's essentially the jury, and he's essentially the executioner now. And that's lived under one roof, and and that roof is no longer answered, that roof no longer answered to heaven. And so by the time you get to the end of Genesis 4, the line of Cain had removed God from every layer of human existence that they could reach. This was not an accident, it was on purpose. They it looks like security, provision, meaning, and justice, all of that. That was botched. And that brings us to the ultimate question that changes everything we thought we knew about the pre-flood, the anti anti-antideluvian world. Um, when an entire civilization builds an appetite for absolute power, um, complete total autonomy, and industrialized violence, what happens when something dark from the unseen realm steps in to offer them an upgrade? Now, up to this point, every single cog or every single gear in this machine has been entirely human for the most part. Cain built the the perimeter out of human fear. Jabal he built the resources, the resource system out of human greed. And Jabal built the culture out of um human distraction. Tubal Cain forged the iron out of human ambition. And Lamech wrote that manifesto out of human pride. And so by the end of Genesis 4, humanity had completely proven that it didn't need a dark spirit whispering in its ear to build a life without God. We managed to engineer a closed, autonomous, godless civilization all on our own, right? So which this brings us directly to the threshold of Genesis chapter six. And one of the most in the most misunderstood moments in ancient history. First Enoch records that when the entity Azazel descended, he taught men how to make swords, he taught them how to make knives, shields, breastplates, and he showed women how to extract antimony and use cosmetics to manipulate perception. I mean, look at those items again. Who was already forging metal edges? Tubalcaine. Who was already using aesthetics and instruments to manipulate public mood? Jubal. Who was already boasting about military force? You guessed it, Lamech. The Watchers did not, he they did not invade a peaceful paradise and then force unwanted knowledge onto unwilling victims. The Watchers stepped into a like fertile ground here. They stepped into an established market. Lamech's house had already spent generations building a culture that lusted after power, that lusted after dominance, and lusted after absolute autonomy from God. The appetite, well, it was already there. Like the the industrial infrastructure infrastructure was humming, like it was running at a crazy speed. That the human heart was already screaming for better weapons to enforce its will, to be more efficient at getting rid of people, like better tools to control the environment and better ways to secure its own kingdom. So the watchers didn't start to fire. Humanity brought the market demand for self-dification, and then rebellious spiritual entities provided the technological um upgrade to accelerate it. They took Tubal King's crude bronze swords and then upgraded them to supernatural warfare. They took Jubal's cultural um soundscapes and then upgraded those to spiritual source, um, spiritual sorcery and glamour. And they took Lamex boast of 77 fold, well, however many folds it was, the turrents, and then gave him the cosmic firepower to actually execute it. And this is why the pre-flooded world spiraled into complete unredeemed, unredeemable chaos so frigging fast that the text says the earth was filled with shamas. It means um like a uh struct like structural violence at the foundations, like the the flood had nothing to do with God wiping out an innocent population that got tricked by angels. What the flood was was the creator stepping in to shut down an unholy alliance between human ambition and dark spiritual power that was fueling it, and then this was before humanity completely erased itself from the earth. Lamech built the engine, the watchers hit the accelerator, okay, and the whole entire world drove off the cliff willingly. The flood swept away the bronze swords, it swept away the stone uh ramparts, the the livestock cartels, and the ancient giants, and the the even the genetics that were manipulated. The waters of the flood erased the f the physical civilization of Nod. It did not erase the blueprint, though. The blueprint was never buried in two Bulcanes Forge, it and it was not lost at the bottom of the sea, it was carried across the waters in the quiet recesses of the human heart. And the moment that post-flood humanity stepped out onto dry land, the same ancient impulse began to stir once again. And so we look at our um we look at our modern world. You I mean, and you see it, the glowing screens, the orbital satellites, automated jewel I mean, automated supply chains, artificial intelligence, and and we tell a we tell ourselves a story about progress, and we convince ourselves that we are in an unprecedented, um, highly evolved global society standing at the at the pinnacle of human history, right? Strip away the silicon, strip away the glass, the electricity, and you realize that we haven't invented anything new. We have simply scaled Lamex house to a global frequency. If you look click now, look closely at the infrastructure of the 21st century, Jabal's livestock systems have evolved into algorithmic global supply chains and centralized bank and financial networks. We no longer step out on out like out into the soil for daily bread. We tap a glass screen, we rely on global logistics, we and we trust that the economic system will feed us tomorrow just because it did today. Like survival remains thoroughly centralized. Now look at this. Jubal's lyres and his flutes have transformed into an infinite nonstop stream of digital media, short form video, and like and literally algorithmic attention traps. Like that the primary function of modern noise is literally identical to Jubal's soundscape. To make sure that modern human beings never have to sit alone in a silent room, face existential vulnerability, or even feel the ache of living living cut off from the divine sanctuary. The quiet is still dangerous, and that is why it is still being filled. Okay. Tubal Cane's iron forge has scaled into autonomous drone swarms, cyber warfare, and nuclear deterrence. And Lamech's sword song, I mean, I get that's what it is, is spoken every single day in the halls of modern geopolitics and um technological philosophy. Like we look at our technological capabilities and make the exact same declaration that Lamech made over his son's sword. We don't need to, we don't, it's saying we don't need divine covenant to keep us safe. And this is the ultimate trap. It builds a world that works so well on the surface that God begins to look completely unnecessary. It absolutely offers a synthetic version of every blessing found in the Edenic sanctuary, synthetic, right? It it offers synthetic security through walls and weapons, it offers synthetic abundance through markets and systems, it offers synthetic peace through endless distraction and noise here, and it it offer it promises synthetic immortality through technological advancement. The great tragedy of the land of wandering is that the higher we stack our stone walls, our stone ramparts, the deeper our imprisonment becomes. Every time humanity attempts to engineer its way around its exile rather than address the broken covenant that caused it, we end up building a more sophisticated cage. And that's what it is. There's no two ways about it. Think about it. Like Cain built a city because he was terrified of being vulnerable. Um, Lamech, he boasted of violence because he was terrified of being helpless. And we build our digital fortresses essentially for the same exact reason. We are terrified of stepping out into the wild, naked, unarmored, and admitting that we cannot save ourselves. The the story of Genesis 4, excuse me. The story of Genesis 4 asks us a single piercing question. When the systems you built to replace God, when they finally fail, when the supply chain breaks, when the when the noise fades, and when the weapons offer no peace whatsoever, like will you keep stacking stones on the wall of Nod, or will you finally step outside the city gates and then look back toward the voice that's calling you home? And that's our calling to come home, to come home to him every single day. So I love you guys, and may the Lord bless you, may the Lord keep you, may the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you, and may the Lord lift up his countenance to you and grant you peace. Good night.
