The Bible In Paintings: The LORD Fights for Israel — THE SUN STANDS STILL!

[Red Badger]

Artistic license.

I think the artists took the ‘rod’ a bit too literally, and fashioned it to be like the ‘rod’ (baton) used in a relay race from Greek and Roman Olympiads. Notice the dress of Joshua is Romanesque...................

[Big Red Badger]

“The Magi,”
I’m Reading the
‘The Gospel in the Stars’
buy Seiss also Dr. James
Kennedy wrote a piece.
.
Fascinating.

[Hebrews 11:6]

No doubt that's how Red Buttons would resolve it.

Ever notice you and he share the same initials?

[Red Badger]

No, Thanks for pointing that out!..................

[Red Badger]

I noticed that the two pics are the same artist, just spelled differently, and they are the same picture, one being a painting and the other is an engraving, but is a mirror image of the other....................

[Hebrews 11:6]

I believe I may have read that or something similar. Let us know how it turns out....

[Hebrews 11:6]

That’s why I placed them consecutively.

[Red Badger]

[Hebrews 11:6]

I considered doing that but didn't want to sacrifice viewing size.

Besides, I would have had to decide whether to position them as you did or face-to-face instead. Too many decisions......................

Nice depictions.
Paintings have that built in ability to show a moment in time, even the stopping of time..

[Hebrews 11:6]

Nice observation. Thanks.

[Big Red Badger]

One thing is the Magi had
More information obtained
from the Heavens than just
a Bright Star to guide them.
Bullinger wrote about this also but I’ve yet to get
His book.

[Hebrews 11:6]

The Bible is silent, I believe, on whether other astronomical information was used by the Magi.

[Big Red Badger]

True that.
But it does say the Heavens
are given for SIGNS.

[Hebrews 11:6]

And, of course, just for fun, we have Balaam's metaphorical prophecy:

I SEE HIM, BUT NOT NOW;
I BEHOLD HIM, BUT NOT NEAR.
A STAR WILL COME OUT OF JACOB;
A SCEPTER WILL RISE OUT OF ISRAEL.
Numbers 24:17

[Big Red Badger]

I think You would enjoy
a study of the subject.
Are you familiar with
Dr.D. James Kennedy pastor
of Coral Ridge Ministries?
He’s got a more concise
Book on the Subject.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I do know him. Thanks for the referral.

Back when I had tv, I watched Dr. Kennedy every Sunday.
He was a very wise man.

[Big Red Badger]

Yup,he is.
I haven’t had TV 15 yrs and
I don’t miss it,
But I got his Book on
the zodiac, great to read
It Again.
