SLAUGHTERS THE INNOCENTS |
must be so sad spending hours portraying such a terrible scene
All great paintings but the best for me is Leon Cognet at #31. Unlike other artists who turned this episode into a revolting spectacle of death and horror, Cognet puts his attention on the terrified expression of the mother who is trying to protect her child. No blood, no theatrical gestures, no corpses, just the haunting and affecting terror of the cornered mother.
But there is one story I resolutely refuse to do: Jephthah and his daughter. If there is art to illustrate it, I'll never know.
Thank you abundantly for your sensitive and perceptive comment, Alba. I agree completely. Cognet's is my favorite, too.
Good Morning Dan, and greetings to each of you.
This one is painful. Can we even comprehend the agony over that entire region?
Dan, we look at the MILLIONS murdered by American ‘legal’ abortion; maybe killing more than the Nazis did. This is one reason our nation is under judgement- and far worse will come upon us...
Satan’s diabolical plan did not succeed. Hallelujah!
GOD gives the victory!
(Slaughter of the innocents continues with abortion.)
#31 ,,,agreed.
.
Jephthah————
Never heard it,
Should I keep it that Way?
History repeats itself.
First infant slaughter - Moses survived.
Second infant slaughter - Jesus survived and won the Victory over sin and death.
God hates all sin, but sins against babies provoke Him most severely.
It was true in Noah's time, and it has continued ever since--and will, until we have a new heaven and new earth. Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
God wants us to read His entire Bible. There are important lessons in Jephthah’s story—but that doesn’t mean it’s up to me to illustrate them.
Satan is perfectly willing to kill as many babies as it takes to escape his doom.
While I recognize the importance of the lessons Jephthah's dastardly foolishness teaches, and why God included it in the Bible*, as the father of two daughters I excuse myself from involvement with it.
Ultimately, my commission is to encourage viewers to interact with God's Word, as the masthead proclaims, and there are plenty of stories available without the three you mentioned.
* Although why Jephthah got included in Hebrews 11's Hall of Faith completely stumps me.
Aaaaa

#31 my favorite also
