Tribulations Ch3
Chapter Three, (Number) Of Beasts, of Tribulations is up.
To me, it seemed natural that the moment it became clear that Rabbi Jewy Jew McJewson was not Jewish, a real rabbi, and did not know Hebrew or Yiddish, anyone who knew such languages would start insulting him in it, just as MSTs of fics involving bad Japanese will often end up insulting the author in Japanese. My knowledge of Hebrew insults is sadly lacking, so they're probably using much harsher language than is appropriate. Maybe they're a bit testy from the whole "superpowered terrorists who say Jesus is messiah have taken over the Western Wall and lit people on fire thing".
Next chapter: Mood whiplash!

I'd never known that Mary wasn't called a virgin in the original Hebrew. Does she really say, at the enunciation, something to the effect of, "But how can that be, for Joseph and I are not yet married?" Come to think of it, that might have just been my old children's Bible being particularly egregious, for all I know.

The bit about beholding the young woman/virgin is a completely unrelated and much, much older prophesy that just expresses the typical bit about how things are bad now, and then someone will be born, and he'll make it better. The sentence could be "a child will be born" and it'd express the same sentiment.
