CHAPTER 16

⁷ That day David first appointed Asaph and his associates to give praise to the Lord in this manner:

⁸ Give praise to the Lord,

.

proclaim his name;

.

make known among the nations what he has done.

.

⁹ Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.

.

¹⁰ Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.

.

¹¹ Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.

.

¹² Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,

.

¹³ you his servants, the descendants of Israel, his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.

.

¹⁴ He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

.

¹⁵ He remembers his covenant forever, the promise he made, for a thousand generations,

¹⁶ the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.

¹⁷ He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

.

¹⁸ “To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion you will inherit.”

.

¹⁹ When they were but few in number, few indeed, and strangers in it,

²⁰ they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.

.

²¹ He allowed no one to oppress them; for their sake he rebuked kings:

²² “Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.”

.

²³ Sing to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day.

²⁴ Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

.

²⁵ For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods.

²⁶ For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.

.

²⁷ Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his dwelling place.

.

²⁸ Ascribe to the Lord, all you families of nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

.

²⁹ Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him. Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.

.

³⁰ Tremble before him, all the earth! The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.

³¹ Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!”

.

³² Let the sea resound, and all that is in it; let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them!

³³ Let the trees of the forest sing, let them sing for joy before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth.

.

³⁴ Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.

.

³⁵ Cry out, “Save us, God our Savior; gather us and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name, and glory in your praise.”

.

³⁶ Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Then all the people said “Amen” and “Praise the Lord.”

NOTES ON MY SELECTION CRITERIA

A r t Q u a l i t y

The Bible and its Author are my focus, not the art: this is The Bible in Paintings, not "Great Paintings" nor even "Good Paintings." So, works need not be masterpieces to qualify for inclusion here—they don't need to be housed at the Louvre nor auctioned by Sotheby's. They only need to illustrate successfully some aspect of the Biblical text or, frankly, just tickle my fancy, which I'm always asking the Holy Spirit to guide.

Often, artists misrepresent the Scripture, but unless the error is material, licentious or heretical I usually include the artwork, trusting that the Spirit is perfectly capable of defending Himself. So, with such forgiving filters, it means that you're seeing practically everything I'm finding.

T e x t S e q u e n c i n g

The Protestant Canon does not (for several reasons) follow a strictly chronological sequence. There are many examples where, for God's good purposes, stories are told out-of-order. Nevertheless, for the sake of simplicity, clarity, and my sanity, I have chosen to proceed linearly and methodically from Genesis onward, illustrating each Bible passage as we come to it. Where two passages cover the same incident I omit the second telling, excepting the four Gospels which I will treat synoptically. Now, onward!

P a c i n g

The pace here may seem appallingly snail-like to those eager to see their favorite events illustrated. My commission is to search for art on each Bible passage in sequence: if I find enough, then it becomes the next installment, even if undramatic (but where there is little or no art, that Bible passage goes untold here).

Then, there is the human element: this is not actually a daily series, because I can only research, compose, edit and post five or six of these installments weekly. And because I only get to do this series once, I'm taking my time, chiefly by posting everything; if I find lots of art, I don't cherry-pick some and discard the rest. Rather, I line up all of them and then sort them into manageable bunches, often resulting in multiple days' episodes of the same story. Obviously, I like being thorough. Were you in a big hurry?

The Bible is a thick book, as you know; but we'll get there eventually, Lord willing—this is His project, after all. And always remember:
love, joy, peace, patience kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness & self-control is a fruit of the Spirit!

. .

Art is merely the Toy Department of Bible study,
so I'm just having fun here—I hope you are, too!
Thank you for your understanding.

[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 being filmed right now. 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 43 years ago).

Isaiah 40:26 Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Yes indeedy.

Thank you for posting this, Dan.

‘Pod

[Red Badger]

That picture, BTW, is a Hubble image of a ‘nearby’ galaxy seen on edge and slightly from ‘underneath’.............

[Hebrews 11:6]

You’ve certainly joined in the Spirit of this Praise thread!

[Hebrews 11:6]

This, Dave, is the thread for which I requested prayer from all the Pingees a week ago, because it presented the new challenge of illustrating not what happened but rather what we are to do. I had more fun preparing this than any other as the Spirit carried me from verse to verse.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Obviously not Andromeda. Any ID?

[Red Badger]

NGC 3432..............

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks. I checked several sites for its distance in light-years but struck out.

[Hebrews 11:6]

There’s no “light-years” data, and I don’t know how to convert redshifts and mega parsecs, so I remain ignorant. Thanks anyway.

[Red Badger]

Second link:

Visible in the constellation of Leo Minor, NGC 3432 is located some 45 million light-years away from Earth...............

[Hebrews 11:6]

45M is “nearby.”

[Red Badger]

Well, yeah, the dinosaurs had been dead for 20 million years when that light left there!..............

ly = pc * 3.2616

Roughly, then, 3 pc to the ly. Memorable. Now, when will I have need or opportunity to apply this new knowledge?
