Enslaved by a Barbarian by McLeod Anitra Lynn. âGo away, Nemro.â Axoev wondered why his relaxed and peaceful companion had turned so scared so fast. All he had to see was the side of Nemroâs face to recognize him. âThe scent is gone. The fire is dying down.â âI am here to put out the fire as my duty calls.â Axoev couldnât remember a time when Nemro was eager to douse the fire. He was only keen to do so now because he didnât want Axoev and Darin to have any more enjoyment than theyâd already had. âWhy didnât you join us?â Axoev wasnât certain if Nemro had ever attended a passion fire since this was Axoevâs first. âI donât need to find myself a woman to share my blanket.â Axoev thought it was more likely that Nemro couldnât find one rather than he didnât want to, but Axoev was in too peaceful of a mood to antagonize the most difficult member of the clan. From talking with other clan leaders, Axoev had become aware that every clan had at least one person who was difficult. It was simply a part of life. No matter how good Nemro had it, he always saw himself with less than someone else. As if to prove Axoevâs point, Nemro snarled, âI will not fight for one woman when there are those greedy men who take two.â âSieg doesnât take them. They willingly seek him out.â Axoev looked at Darin, who seemed to be clinging a little tighter to him than he had before. Clearly, he didnât like Nemro. âSieg is popular.â Darin grinned. âI noticed.â âDo you know why heâs well liked?â Axoev asked Nemro while keeping his attention on Darin. He looked so beautiful that Axoev wanted to hold him in his mind in this moment for always. âHe gives them things.â Nemro fairly spat the words. âHe might, but he gives without expectation.â âWomen are fools.â When Darin tightened up, Axoev realized Nemro was looking at him, making him uncomfortable. âI think I will capture myself a faunsha.â âYou will have to be quick.â Axoev spared Nemro a glance while tightening his hold on Darin possessively. âAnd you will have to hunt elsewhere.â There was a moment where Axoev thought Nemro would challenge him for Darin. A spark of longing and need pulsed in his gaze, but then it was gone, eaten up by a clear feeling of doubt. Between them, Axoev was the smaller man, but he was stronger. And they both knew it. Time after time, Axoev had had to prove himself in the clan. When it became clear he simply wouldnât give up, he gained respect. When he also showed compassion by not killing Nemro when he had the right to do so, he gained gratitude. Unfortunately, the only member of the clan who didnât appreciate Axoevâs leadership role was the very man he could have killed. It seemed rather than value his life, Nemro hated Axoev for making him look weak. The truth was that Nemro was ungrateful of all things. Nemro spun on his heel. He grasped a large stick and proceeded to stir the fire, separating the embers. City of the Weak Concert Setlists & Tour Dates. City of the Weak at Wired Pub & Grill, Omaha, NE, USA.

City Of The Weak – Pulling Teeth (Album Review) When the word “pop” is mentioned in any conversation these days, the forty-year-old me still thinks of some great artists of the genre that dominated the charts in the 80’s: Prince , The Police , Simple Minds , Tears for Fears etc. Sadly though, what is regarded as pop currently is something drastically different: ultra-processed vocals, beats that were purchased in a USB drive, and a sound that seems to have been concocted at a lab rather than a studio. However, if you keep your mind and ears open wide, every now and then a band or two will come up and challenge that notion, delivering a heavier version of (actual) pop music while avoiding cookie-cutter lyrics and betting on a little more sophistication than the usual. City of the Weak is one of those. Combining female vocals, an organic sound and clever lyrics, City of the Weak was formed in 2012, and since then, have released several EPs. Their first full length, “Pulling Teeth” , was released last June 22, and in ten tracks they combine catchy pop melodies with aggressive guitar riffs and moving bass lines to create a recipe of their own. “Like I Do” kicks off the proceedings with pulsating chords, a catchy chorus and singer Stef w/ an F stating right off the bat “I don’t give a damn if you don’t like it” . It may sound like juvenile rebellion to some, but their mission statement of “we do what we like, take it or leave it” is surely not in disguise here. And as if to prove this point, “Trust Nobody” comes next with a heavier approach, more dynamic guitars and odd time signatures, without losing the pop touch and expanding on the “us-against-them” attitude. “Not This Time” starts with a dramatic piano and keyboard sample, and using a standard chord progression expands into a beautiful chorus and again, lyrics that show absolute confidence in what they do. The short duration of all tracks favors the whole album immensely – all ten songs clock in around the three minute mark, which gives the record a vibrant and diverse feel. “Censor This” proves that point to a large extent, with a syncopated riff and electronic beat with soon evolves into familiar territory, but with a prominent bass line – check out the video for this song at the end of this article. With so many mood swings in a short period of time in most of the tracks, one doesn’t seem to notice how quickly the album moves. “Pulling Teeth” Album Artwork. “Drag Us Under” is one of the stand out tracks in this release, mixing an 80’s sounding keyboard melody, cinematic and atmospheric moments and heavy riffs. “Suffer Like Me” revolves around an alt rock clean guitar and grows into a ballad about the struggles of life and love and commitment to your beliefs, and with a little more punch in the vocals, it could be a radio hit. The title track ends the proceedings in an evocative, jam-styled instrumental composition that alludes to closure but also leaves the listener wanting for more and curious about the next steps the band will take. A noticeable feat of the album is that all instruments are loud and clear, and the production is very slick and clean – sometimes a tad too much. There are great lyrics throughout and the lack of compression highlights the nuances and the ever present shifts in direction, but the vocal delivery could have used a bit more grit here and there. And that’s not a jab at Stef ’s vocal abilities – she clearly has the pipes, but my guess is that this was a producer’s choice to have her voice slightly subdued in this release. As soon as the last song finishes you’re left wondering what’s the next step for them: will they explore the heavier side and include more distortion in the future, or will they take a more commercial approach and aim at the charts? Either way, their blend of “pop rock with brains” is a welcome surprise, and City of the Weak is a band to watch out for in the upcoming years. Released By: Self Released Release Date: June 22nd, 2018 Genre: Alternative Rock. David Guzik :: Study Guide for Isaiah 26. 1. (Isa 26:1-2) The strength of God's city. In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: "We have a strong city; God will appoint salvation for walls and bulwarks. Open the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in." a. In that day : The context from Isaiah 24 and 25 points to the day of the Messiah's ultimate triumph, the day when the Messiah reigns over Israel, and over all the world. In that day , there will be a lot of joyful singing, such as this song that will be sung in the land of Judah . b. We have a strong city : Since cities came into being after the Fall, man has never known a truly godly city, the City of God on earth. In that day , all will know the strength and glory of the city of God. i. In the fifth century, Rome was conquered by less civilized tribes from the north in Europe. The mighty Roman Empire was no more, and many blamed the fall of Rome on the new religion she had officially embraced in the last 100 years: Christianity. In this time of confusion, the greatest Christian theologian of the time wrote a book titled The City of God . In it, he tried to explain how the fall of the Roman Empire related to the kingdom of God, and he made the contrast between the city of man (ultimately represented by Rome and the mighty Roman Empire) and the City of God (the kingdom of God). Augustine pointed out that though the fall of Rome was tragic for the city of man , it really only hastened the coming of the City of God . Speaking in Augustine's terms, Isaiah writes about the City of God when he says we have a strong city . The strong city is the Kingdom of God, the city of man is the world system. ii. This is an important and often neglected idea. We often disapprove of the idea of the city, and romanticize the idea of man in isolation, in a rural or primitive setting. But in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ on this earth, there will be cities - but redeemed cities, glorious communities organized under the strength and salvation and righteousness and truth of the LORD. God's supreme ideal is no escape from all community and a private communion with nature; the Kingdom of God will be realized in a strong city . c. God will appoint salvation for walls and bulwarks : The city of God, from beginning to end, is all about salvation . Even the walls and the bulwarks of the city are saved! d. Open the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter it : The city of God, with all its strength and salvation, is only for the righteous , and those who keep the truth . In the same principle, the New Jerusalem is a city filled with glory, which excludes the unrighteous (Revelation 21:22-27). i. We should make a distinction between the Kingdom of the Messiah, the millennial reign of Jesus (described here in Isaiah 26), and the coming of the New Jerusalem (which comes when this earth passes away, Revelation 21:1-2). The cities are similar, because they are both from the LORD, but they come at different times in God's plan of the ages. 2. (Isa 26:3-4) The LORD is our source of strength. You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the LORD forever, for in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength. a. You will keep him in perfect peace : What a promise! Perfect peace ! God promises that we can have perfect peace , and even be kept in a place of perfect peace . i. In Hebrew, the term perfect peace is actually shalom shalom . This shows how in Hebrew, repetition communicates intensity. It isn't just shalom ; it is shalom shalom , perfect peace . ii. "Understand, dear soul, that it is thy privilege to live inside the double doors of God's loving care. He says to thee, 'Peace, peace.' If one assurance is not enough, He will follow it with a second and a third." (Meyer) iii. Some can have this perfect peace , but it is fleeting and they are never kept there. Others can be kept in peace , but it is not a perfect peace , it is the peace of the wicked, the peace of spiritual sleep and ultimate destruction. But there is a perfect peace that the LORD will keep is in. b. Whose mind is stayed on You : This is the place of perfect peace , and the source of it. When we keep our minds stayed - settled upon, established upon - the LORD Himself, then we can be kept in this perfect peace . i. To be kept in this perfect peace , it is a matter of our mind . This isn't so much a matter of our spirit or of our soul or of our heart . It is a matter of our mind . We are to love the LORD our God with all of our mind (Matthew 22:37). We are transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2). We can have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16, Philippians 2:5). We are not to set our mind on earthly things (Philippians 3:19), but to set our mind on things above (Colossians 3:2). The Christian life is not an unthinking life of just doing , or experiencing , but it is also about thinking , and where we set our mind is essential in our walk before the LORD. ii. To be kept in this perfect peace , our mind must be stayed . The Hebrew word sawmak comes from the root "to prop," and has the idea "to lean upon or take hold of … bear up, establish, uphold, lay, lean, lie hard, put, rest self, set self, stand fast, stay (self), sustain." (Strong's Dictionary) In other places the same word is translated sustained (Genesis 27:37, Psalm 3:5), or when the priest would put their hands on the head of a sacrificial animal (Exodus 29:10, 15, 19), or of the laying on of hands in other circumstances (Numbers 27:18), of being upheld (Psalm 71:6), to stand fast upon (Psalm 111:8), of being established (Psalm 112:8), of leaning upon (Isaiah 36:6, 48:2). So, what sustains your mind? What do you lay your mind upon? What upholds your mind? What does your mind stand fast upon? What is your mind established upon? What does your mind lean upon? To have this perfect peace , your mind cannot occasionally come to the LORD; it has to be stayed on Him. iii. To be kept in this perfect peace , our mind must be stayed on the LORD . If our mind is stayed on ourselves, or our problems, or the problem people in our lives, or on anything else, we can't have this perfect peace . This is the heart that says with the Apostle Paul, that I may know Him (Philippians 3:10). Satan loves to get our minds on anything except the LORD! c. Because He trusts in You : This is another way of expressing the idea of keeping our minds stayed on Him. Almost always, you keep your mind stayed on whatever you are trusting. When we trust the LORD, we keep our mind stayed on Him. i. Proverbs 3:5 expresses this same idea: Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding . The word for lean in Proverbs 3:5 comes from the same root as the word stayed in Isaiah 26:3. When we trust in the LORD , we do not lean on our own understanding . To lean on the LORD is to trust Him. To be sustained by the LORD is to trust Him. To be established by the LORD is to trust Him. To upheld by the LORD is to trust Him. ii. The battle for trust in our lives begins in our minds. If we trust the LORD, it will show in our actions , but it will begin in our mind. d. Trust in the LORD forever : Because of the promise of Isaiah 26:3, we are exhorted to trust in the LORD forever - and therefore to receive the blessing of the promise, perfect peace ! e. For in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength : If the LORD calls us to rely on Him completely with our mind, He appeals to our mind with a rational reason why we should trust the LORD - because He is everlasting strength . It isn't that the LORD has everlasting strength , He is everlasting strength . i. Clarke's comment on Isaiah 12:2 applies here also: "The word Yah read here is probably a mistake; and arose originally from the custom of the Jewish scribes, who, when they found a line too short for the word, wrote as many letters as filled it, and then began the next line with the whole word." 3. (Isa 26:5-6) The destiny of the city of man. For He brings down those who dwell on high, the lofty city; He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He brings it down to the dust. The foot shall tread it down; the feet of the poor and the steps of the needy. a. He brings down those who dwell on high, the lofty city : The city of man is lofty , and its exalted ones dwell on high . But the LORD will bring them down nonetheless. The city of man, the world system, is nothing to the LORD; He lays it low . b. The city of man, the world system, is all about power and prestige, built on the backs of the weak and the poor. But when God brings the city of man down to the dust , He will turn all that around, and the feet of the poor shall tread it down . i. Jesus expressed the same principle in Matthew 5:5: Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Jesus told us to oppose the power and prestige thinking of this world and to live with the thinking of His Kingdom right now (Matthew 20:25-28). 4. (Isa 26:7-9) The way of the upright. The way of the just is uprightness; O Most Upright, You weigh the path of the just. Yes, in the way of Your judgments, O LORD, we have waited for You; the desire of our soul is for Your name and for the remembrance of You. With my soul I have desired You in the night, yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early; for when Your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. a. The way of the just is uprightness : In the Kingdom of God, His just people walk in a way - the way of uprightness . Isaiah accurately gives the sense of order in this; the LORD makes His people just by a relationship of faith and trust in Him, then they walk in the way of … uprightness . i. Why do they walk in uprightness? Because they serve the LORD God, who is Most Upright Himself. As they trust the LORD, are declared just by the LORD, they walk in His own way. ii. You weigh the path of the just : The LORD looks at His righteous ones ( the just ) and He evaluates their path. The LORD cares about the walk of His just ones! b. The desire of our soul is for Your name : In the Kingdom of God, His just people love Him and desire Him. i. The desire is displayed in waiting : O LORD, we have waited for You . When you desire something, or someone, you will wait for them, and do it gladly because of your desire . ii. The desire is displayed in seeking : With my soul I have desired You in the night, yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early . When you desire something, or someone, you seek them all the time, both early and at night . c. The way of the upright will be vindicated; one day, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness . 5. (Isa 26:10-11) The way of the wicked. Let grace be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD. LORD, when Your hand is lifted up, they will not see. But they will see and be ashamed for their envy of people; yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them. a. The wicked are ungrateful for God's goodness: Let grace be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness . b. The wicked end in disaster: And will not behold the majesty of the LORD … they will see and be ashamed … the fire of Your enemies shall devour them . B. Promises made to a humble heart. 1. (Isa 26:12-18) The prayer of a humble heart. LORD, You will establish peace for us, for You have also done all our works in us. O LORD our God, masters besides You have had dominion over us; but by You only we make mention of Your name. They are dead, they will not live; they are deceased, they will not rise. Therefore You have punished and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. You have increased the nation, O LORD, You have increased the nation; You are glorified; You have expanded all the borders of the land. LORD, in trouble they have visited You, they poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them. As a woman with child is in pain and cries out in her pangs, when she draws near the time of her delivery, so have we been in Your sight, O LORD. We have been with child, we have been in pain; we have, as it were, brought forth wind; we have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth, nor have the inhabitants of the world fallen. a. You have also done all our works in us : Isaiah must have been reading Ephesians 2:8-10: For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Even our good works are works that He has done … in us . b. Masters besides You have had dominion over us; but by You only we make mention of Your name : The humble heart repents of past idolatry, and rejoices in the present freedom in the LORD. i. The humble heart sees the folly of their past idolatry: They are dead, they will not live . The humble heart sees the victory of the LORD over all idols: You have punished and destroyed them . "Obviously this verse does not suggest that the 'other lords' had real existence as deities but simply that they were believed to have and that their rule was sinfully acknowledged by the people in past times." (Grogan) ii. The Hebrew word for dominion is baal , which can mean master or husband . Of course, Baal was also the chief god of the native Canaanites, and a seductive idol for Israel. In this prayer, Judah essentially says, O LORD our God, masters besides you have "Baal-ed" us . c. We have been with child, we have been in pain; we have, as it were, brought forth wind : The humble heart knows the futility of working apart from the direction and blessing of God. i. "We have had the torment of a woman in child-bearing, but not the comfort of a living child … for we have brought forth nothing but the wind; all our labours and hopes were vain and unnuccessful." (Poole) d. You have increased the nation : The humble heart knows the LORD is responsible for increase and blessing. e. LORD, in trouble they have visited You : The humble heart relies on the LORD in times of distress and futility. 2. (Isa 26:19) The promise of resurrection. Your dead shall live; together with my dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. a. Your dead shall live : The Old Testament had a shadowy understanding of the life to come, because the secrets of the life to come have now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10). But here is a confident expectation of resurrection and glory for the LORD's righteous ones. 3. (Isa 26:20-21) The promise of refuge in the time of great indignation. Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, until the indignation is past. For behold, the LORD comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth will also disclose her blood, and will no more cover her slain. a. Come, my people, enter your chambers : Isaiah, speaking for the LORD, prophesies a time when God's people are invited to come and find refuge until the indignation is past . i. The refuge is secure. God's people are secure in chambers , with the doors shut behind them. They are hidden securely ( Hide yourself ). b. The indignation God's people are hidden from is from the LORD Himself: the LORD comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity . This is not persecution from the wicked, but judgment from the LORD. This is not a local judgment, but something the LORD brings upon the inhabitants of the earth in general. i. The devastation of the indignation of the LORD is seen all over the earth: The earth will also disclose her blood, and will no more cover her slain . c. When is this time when God's people are carried away, securely hidden, from a time of great indignation the LORD brings upon the earth? It can refer to the deliverance of the Jewish people from the fury of the Antichrist described in Revelation 12:6 and 12:13-16. But it is more likely that it speaks of the refuge, the safety, the security of God's people when they are caught up together with the Lord in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) and escape the horrific indignation of the Lord that He pours out upon the world in the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21-22, Revelation 9:15-21), which will immediately precede the second coming of Jesus Christ (Matthew 24:29-30). i. Seen this way, this is a powerful passage supporting the teaching of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture, which says that Jesus Christ will remove His people from this earth before the time of Great Tribulation coming upon the earth immediately before His ultimate return. © 2001 David Guzik - No distribution beyond personal use without permission.
