CHAPTER 6
1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple.

2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another:
“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”. .

5 “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”

8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”

And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

9 He said, “Go and tell this people:
“‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding;
be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’
10 Make the heart of this people calloused;
make their ears dull
and close their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”11 Then I said, “For how long, Lord?”
And he answered:
“Until the cities lie ruined
and without inhabitant,
until the houses are left deserted
and the fields ruined and ravaged,
12 until the LORD has sent everyone far away
and the land is utterly forsaken.
13 And though a tenth remains in the land,
it will again be laid waste.
But as the terebinth and oak
leave stumps when they are cut down,
so the holy seed will be the stump in the land.”. .

NOTES ON MY SELECTION CRITERIA The Bible and its Author are my focus, not the art: this is The Bible in Paintings, not "Great Paintings" nor even "Good Paintings." Indeed, occasionally photographs illustrate the text. 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.
A r t
Q u a l i t yOften, 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.
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!
T e x t
S e q u e n c i n gThe 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).
P a c i n g 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

I appreciate this post this morning. It is helpful to add meaning to the passage by seeing it illustrated. Thank you for ir.
God bless!

Here we have the divinely-inspired text with artists' conceptions of it, but I wonder whether we might have more. During the Millennium, or when we're in heaven, might God provide us with the ability to actually watch Biblical events as they occurred? That would add some meaning!
Yep! Yep! Yep! and Yep!
Wouldn’t it though?
I’ve no idea why, but the very first Biblical scene that I wanted to see was—well, actually, I wanted to do more than merely seeing—I wanted to walk around in the fiery furnace with Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego and Jesus.
Meaningful lesson. I love the stained glass windows and then I like the silent, absorbed contemplation in Gustave Dore’s picture. Thank you!
Bless you, Alba! I love Doré’s, too, so I needed to set it apart. I expect God gave ol’ Isaiah plenty to contemplate. Can we even imagine having such a vision?!
Wonderful as always! Thank you.😊
Good Afternoon, Dan!
Blizzard in Progress...but I got home safe from church, and without blisters! My fingers have finally toughened up.
Gotta keep the customers satisfied!
Mary-Lou, it is a theological process: your fingers are being sanctified.
Sam Snead, the all-time winningest golfer with 82 official victories (Tiger Woods is tied with him) told a story about callouses. Two fellows approached him and challenged him to a substantial bet, where Slammin' Sammy would give them several strokes' handicap. They had taken great care to present themselves as out-of-practice: no suntans and no callouses. Sam, famous for still having his first dollar, took the bet and soon found out how he'd been taken. He said, "To avoid losing that bet, I had to shoot 65 that day."
Sounds like the Gibeonites and the scam they pulled on Joshua.
Nice catch! There’s one born every minute.
Indeed.
I’ve often thought that would be possible. My logic is: 1. God perfectly remembers all events, all is now to Him. 2. God has promised to give us all things.
Anyway, now I'm far more interested in seeing biblical events than Joan of Arc and Et tu, Brutus? That's why I am so very excited about the current series The Chosen. But it only covers four of the sixty-six books....
