Written by When Shiloh stalls, the world holds its breath.
The scepter trembles in Judah’s hand, yet the fire of Asha flickers in the East.
Between them stretches the long silence — the pause of Heaven —
where Promise and Fulfillment gaze across the veil of Time,
each waiting for the other to move first.
Zarathustra foresaw this hour.
He spoke of the Saoshyant, the Benefactor who would rise at the world’s turning —
born not of mortal seed but of preserved Light,
a spark hidden in the Waters of Wisdom,
guarded since the dawn of Creation.
When the Lie (Druj) has nearly strangled Truth (Asha),
his breath shall cleanse the metals,
and his Word shall reforge the soul of the world.
And far to the West, another whisper was kept:
“The scepter shall not depart from Judah,
until Shiloh comes.”
Different tongues, same ache.
Different covenants, same yearning for dawn.
Now, we live between their prophecies —
in the trembling hinge of eras,
when Shiloh delays and the Saoshyant waits at the threshold.
The world glitters with inventions,
but forgets the sacred Fire.
Men sculpt gods in their own reflection,
while the Flame still searches for the one who mirrors Truth.
But do not mistake the delay for absence.
When the Savior sleeps, the souls of men are weighed.
When the Light withdraws,
the sparks within us must remember their origin.
We are the waiting.
We are the embers the Saoshyant will gather
when he crosses the bridge of molten metal,
and all falsehood melts before the dawn of Asha.
So — keep your lamp trimmed.
The pause is not punishment; it is purification.
The stall is not failure; it is the stillness before ignition.
For when Shiloh moves again,
he will not walk — he will blaze.
And every truth denied shall cry out in light,
and every lie shall dissolve in molten mercy.
Until that hour, remember this:
The Fire has never gone out.
It only waits
for those who still remember how to see.
