The Bible In Paintings, #36: MT. SINAI #4 – 10 COMMANDMENTS!

Bing Images | c. 2000 BC -- c. 90 AD | Father, Son & Holy Spirit

[Hebrews 11:6]

At the Holy Spirit's prompting, I am surveying "Bible art" to give God glory, as many of these artists have done, and for my own amusement and learning; and I thought others might enjoy it and be blessed by it, too. My plan is to proceed methodically from left-to right, Genesis to Revelation, as the Lord wills. Back soon with another.

The Bible encourages us to meditate on it (Ps. 1:1-3, 119:11-16, etc.); these artists have done so, and their works can assist us and enrich our own thoughts about biblical characters, incidents and concepts, and increase our faith in He who is behind it all. As you encounter and consider these images and the related Scriptures and the Spirit enlightens your understanding, please share it with us!

But it is not only oil-on-canvas that can so help us; I refer to the astonishing video series The Chosen, which strolls through the four Gospels at the most leisurely pace. The eight episodes of Season 1 are finished, and the second of a planned seven seasons is coming soon. I say "leisurely" because after an entire year’s viewing Jesus still has only seven of the apostles (although He's preparing to call up Thomas from the minor leagues--but Thomas is skeptical, of course). Anticipating a canvas of fifty-plus hours instead of a movie's paltry two hours, The Chosen turns the characters (especially including Jesus!) into three-dimensional humans and brings the Gospels alive--you have never seen anything even remotely like it! Here is the Official Trailer.

Here is a link for free viewing of The Chosen: “Works with your phone, tablet, and you can cast to your Roku or Chromecast.” Last fall I paid $34.98 for DVDs and ongoing internet access—best 35 bucks I’ve ever spent (I don’t recall how much our marriage license cost, but then it was 42 years ago).

The first set was, the second set God made Moses write himself.............

Exo 34:1
“ “Cut two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke...”

[Hebrews 11:6]

I was tempted....

Mel Brooks is a genius!.................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks for adding that—wish I had. Ol’ CB had a good imagination!

[Hebrews 11:6]

He is--Blazing Saddles is full proof.

[Red Badger]

he pushes the envelope of societal norms and that’s what makes him so funny!.................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Surprise is the trigger of humor, and Mel understands and uses that. By definition, we expect societal norms to be respected, and when they are disrespected cleverly....

Yep...cuz Moses smashed the first set.

He broke all the commandments at the same time!

He did indeed! :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

You’re getting ahead of the narrative, LOL. The golden calf is still three installments ahead—they’re still collecting “the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing.”

LOL...I’ve read the Book.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Just now I was in 1 Chronicles 22 where the ageing David tells young Solomon he has set aside for constructing the Temple “one hundred thousand talents of gold,” or 3,750 tons. That’s a bunch of earrings. Oh, and a million talents of silver.

David was very talented.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Go to your room.
