The Second Exodus Prophecy
The long-prophesied Second Exodus is drawing near—a powerful promise from Yahweh that echoes the miraculous deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt. This time, however, it will be on a global scale, not confined to Egypt, but encompassing the entire world. Just as Yahweh awakened the dry bones in the vision given to Ezekiel (Ezekiel 37:1-14), He is about to awaken the "dry bones" of His people in America and throughout the nations. This will be a literal and physical supernatural event, gathering His people from every corner of the earth back to Him.
It is crucial to recognize that many so-called black people in America and other parts of the world are, in fact, the lost descendants of Israel—the scattered tribes of Yahweh’s chosen people. The Bible prophesies the scattering of Israel due to disobedience, but it also promises their eventual return. Deuteronomy 28:64 foretells, “The Lord will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other.” This scattering led to

Fan Art Fridays: Fall Photography
"Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go."
THE CHANGE IN SEASON
Autumn in the wilderness unfurls like a grand symphony, each leaf a delicate note in nature's orchestral embrace. The forests, once brimming with summer's vibrancy, now glow with the burnished hues of gold, amber, and crimson, as if kissed by the setting sun.
The air, crisp and invigorating, carries the sweet scent of pine and earth, mingling with the whisper of wind through the changing foliage of trees and brush alike. Every step upon the soft, mossy ground is a pilgrimage, a journey through nature's temple, where the stillness of the season invites contemplation and wonder.
In the quietude of autumn, the mountains stand sentinel, their peaks dusted with the first snow of winter's approach, while the valleys below are blanketed in the soft, golden light of shortening days. The rivers, once roaring with the snow-melt of spring, now flow gently, mirroring the vibrant tapestry of the canopy above. Here

Feature: Writing tutorials + undiscovered art by BeckyKidus, journal
Feature: Writing tutorials + undiscovered art
It is time to feature more tutorials and undiscovered art! :dummy:
As usual, the feature will be divided into two parts. The first part includes tutorials on how to design characters and creatures, and the second part is a selection of artwork I’ve discovered recently with fewer than 50 favourites.
Previous features are linked at the bottom of the journal, and I post a new feature each month on my profile, usually around the 15th :la:
This month, we'll focus on an art form which can be a bit hidden on DA, namely writing. There are a lot of good stories, fan fiction and poetry out there, though - as well as some excellent tutorials on writing!
First, we'll start with... well, story writing. @illuminara and @OokamiKasumi start us off by giving some tips on how to start writing in general, as well as giving some beginner tips. illuminara also has an enlightening guide on how to write your first draft, and then @MomoPoms gives some great advice on how to write good fanfiction

Ballad of a Broken Heart
Ballad of a Broken Heart
Written By: Izzy S.
I wanna bare my soul
In a way no one can
In the hope that someday you
Might understand how it feels
To be so alone.
I carry on as best I can
Not shining as brightly
As before.
I feel more lost than ever;
It's been so dark
Since she’s been gone.
I’m lost in these memories,
And I’m on my knees, without shame
Begging to believe
But I feel so far from heaven.
My parents yell and scream
They always say
“It gets easier that this
I swear.”
Well, I can’t see it
From here
They eventually gave up on me too.
At this point
I hope they hear these words:
“Don’t cry to me;
If you loved me, you would
Be here with me.
You'd be here for me.
I’ll burn it all to the ground
Before I let you in.
Please forgive me,
I can’t forgive you now.
Do you remember when Mary
Died, and you said you wished it was me?
Well, I am dead:
Dead to you as can be.”
I met a guy
Who eventually hurt me
Nobody knows me
But he took something
I couldn't save.
Maybe a
