Ydwyr's Merseian influence on Djana's Catholic mind-set generates her prophetic vision of God rejecting mankind in favor of Merseia. But do gods break their covenants with human beings? The Gods of Ys break and end their covenant with the city of Ys in Poul and Karen Anderson's The King Of Ys. Although one interpretation of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem would be that God had thereby ended his Covenant with the people of Israel, Jeremiah 31:33 instead prophesied a new inner covenant. Such a covenant, immune to the fates of cities and their temples, can endure for all time, including the future history of Technic civilization.

Kaor, Paul!
And this part of A CIRCUS OF HELLS, with Djana wondering if God would cast out mankind from before His face reminded me of 4 Kings 25.20: "For the Lord was angry against Jerusalem and against Juda, till he cast them out from his face." And we see similar language being used in "The House of Sorrows."
And that line from the story: "Open now the book of the seven thunders," reminded me of Revelation 10.3-4. See as well Psalm 29.3-5.
Ad astra! Sean
