The Impasse
The Revelation of the Bible is an impasse amongst Providence, humanity, and other divinities.
Within this narrative the impasse is between Sarai and Hagar, between Providence and Abraham.
Even though Abraham believed the Word of God, he still decided to take matters into his own hands; this decision will have universal but temporary consequences still experienced today.
