#14 is awesome. 15 is kinda cool too. The 4 horsemen series paintings are all quite nice mostly, but 14 stands out to me.
Not just any old ‘donkey’..........
Zechariah 9:9
The Coming of Zion’s King
Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
Matthew 21:5
“Say to Daughter Zion, ‘See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’
Be sure to step aside and let them roar past you....
OK ....
57) A donkey. Somebody else’s ... (although technically, as King of All Creation, He own’s everybody’s donkey.) In any case “the Master has need of it”
58) “Pale”, black, red, and ???
59) He’s the Lamb of God, and the Lion of Judah. “Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.”
60) Animal? I thought it was clouds ...
Seeing Scripture fulfilled is always thrilling....................
These artists knew how to paint a lion....
Great Durer at #14
Striking #19
#33
#44
Thank you for the stained glass windows!
#15 looks like a bad “acid” trip ... #19 should be a metal album cover.
Yup exzctly - that’s what I like about it lol
Not gonna be here for the show
Beautiful, exquisite and inspiring, just like our Lord and Savior.
There is a prophecy within the prophecy:
Matthew 21:2
saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me.
Matthew 21:5
“Say to Daughter Zion, ‘See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”
Matthew 21:7
They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on.

... Untie THEM and bring them to me.
... riding on a donkey, AND on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
... placed their cloaks on THEM for Jesus to sit on.

Only one of the artists whose works you show got it close, showing both animals, but even that wasn’t totally correct.
Jesus was riding both animals, like a bridge, spanning the OLD and the NEW.
The old Judaic religion was being supplanted by the new Christian religion, and Jesus was presiding over both of them........................
Fans of the TV show “Babylon 5” may remember Londo Mollari and his three wives as “War” married to “Famine”, “Pestilence”, and “Death”.
It’s a special horse that runs amid clouds.
I don’t like that israel wilhave to go through the tribu,ation, but, what a day it will be when the nation, and all those who have turned to christ during the trib see Christ riding into battle leading an army of his soldiers, and defeating the enemies of God. It will be such a time of miraculous acts like the world has never seen before. All the hostile nations will be defeated and subdued, and peace will reign for 1000 years- all will bow to Christ and be subject to him.
For the horses I got white, red and black. But could not remember Pale. Which is surprising given the many times I have watched the Eastwood movie “Pale Rider”.
I never saw that show - sounds like it mights had xome religious overtones to it?
I’ve now added a twelfth fenster day for Christmas!
So glad....
