The madness of crowds - one minute they want to idolize you, the next - they'll stone you. Just can't trust 'em!

I liked #18 & 19 - they are mirror images! "Handedness", or chirality, is/was the most difficult aspect of organic chemistry for me. I just couldn't "see" it - while for others, it came naturally. It is also known (in literature) as "chiastic" structure, where the 1st chapter is echoed in the last, then 2nd chapter mirrored in 2nd-to-last, etc.

I was at a seminar (many years ago), where the speaker presented a case for Revelation being written with chiastic structure.

Also interesting in these works is the common 'tearing-of-garments'.

Perhaps you saw my note below #19: “Reversed from Raphael’s, above”.

Hugh Ross has pointed out that homochirality is essential to the building blocks of life, which is one of the factors that makes spontaneous natural assembly of life—as opposed to supernatural—all but impossible.

HA! No I didn't see that!

...and I've often thought that chirality itself is God's fingerprint on life-creation. On matter-creation, I see His fingerprint as the Orion nebula :)

Also, see #31 - there are many symbols...the sacrificial ram & bull/ox. The horn-blowing (that's some horn isn't it?), and the 'Roman-seeming' coliseum architecture...

What is the symbol of the guy sitting on a bird above it all mean? Any clue? Paging eta...please answer the white courtesy phone.

Hugh Ross also points out a fascinating fulfilled prophecy that God made about Orion in Job, c.4,000 years ago:

“Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades? Can you loosen Orion’s belt?"

It is a claim that both the Pleiades cluster and the three stars which comprise the belt of Orion the Hunter are, in fact, as they appear to be: gravitationally bound to one another. It is a truth-claim that could not be tested until 20th Century telescopes proved its veracity.

The figure on the high pedestal represents Zeus (Jupiter) with the lightning rod and the eagle as his symbols.
