On the last picture(Stain glass window) Who is the fellow in the bottom left wearing a crown? Is it the King at that period of time and place where the cathedral was built.
Great selection of one of my favorite chapters and scenes in the Bible. I’m glad to see Pat Marvenko Smith’s artwork here.
Great question about how close these depictions come to reality. My thoughts: 1) Far vaster than we can imagine. Picture the Grand Canyon filled with angels and plated with gold and adorned with jewels. 2) Far greater power emanating from God’s throne than we can imagine. The angels around God are the most powerful God created. They cower and quake before God. Lightning comes from the throne. My electrical engineer son pointed out, “Of course there’s lightning. Electricity goes from a greater source to a lesser source. So it comes from God to anywhere else.
