[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).

I just noticed this pun so I wanted to add it to this artwork collection, the "mosaic" law of the little pieces arranged together:

THE LAW permutes to WEALTH.

The Law is associated closely with "ten" because there they are. Ten.. ten Commandments thanks to Mel Brooks.

In Hebrew, the word ten is eser [עֶשֶׂר], the same spelling as the word osher [עֹשֶׁר] meaning wealth.

THE LAW = WEALTH; ten = wealth

These three letters also permute to rasha [רָשָׁע] a wicked person, ra'ash [רַעַשׁ] noise, eres [עֶרֶשׂ] cradle.

Good people don't wig out and pull out their se'ar [שֵׂעָר] hair -- they choose wisely and keep on the sunny side, which leads them to the correct sha'ar [שַׁעַר] gate.

I think I'm in for a life sentence without the possibility of parole for that one. These puns, they get loose and self sow like Johnny Jumps.

Well no wonder, as they are a type of punsy. Cute little faces, gotta love 'em! I think I'll name the places they jump up "Puniel", because I have faced off with God pun-to-pun, and my soul is preserved.
