AND THEN THERE WAS SILENCE.

And then there was silence.

Zeus and all the Olympians were all about words whilst YHWH was all about silence. The world emerged from silence. In silence the world will come to an end. And in silence YHWH will dwell.

God punished the wicked with silence and with it He rewarded the faithful. Yet only a sinister was rewarded with a stone cold glare.

In silence God rested and in silence He rejoiced. He would fill his goblet with wine-coloured thoughts and down them with morning like calm. He would sleep open mouthed and wake wide-eyed yet sealed lip. He praised with words but he loved in silence.

God fought with silent rage and judged with a lift of an eyebrow. He demonstrated forgiveness by hugging and expressed compassion with a handshake.

But He laughed like a thunder and all the silence in the world would bow to him.
