These paintings are just so exquisite and mind blowing.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I agree entirely.

25) The Rock from which Moses got water was a “type” of Christ.

26) James Bond and Felix Leiter.

27) If you looked at the bronze serpent, you got better.

28) Joshua, son of Nun. (ain’t goin’ there ...)

[NorthMountain]

Interesting that most of the artists depict the bronze serpent hung on a cross.

[Hebrews 11:6]

20-20 hindsight

[etabeta]

All great paintings to illustrate these events. I love the stained glass windows. Thank you, Dan!

[Hebrews 11:6]

If we had a close personal relationship, then my Christmas present to you would be a.......




stained-glass window!

A He Qi I don’t think you’ve posted before now!

The Douglas Ramsey still appeals for the drama he puts into the composition.

And those grapes look like the package I got at Costco last week. Enough for an army…

[etabeta]

Sweet of you! Thank you, my brother in Christ.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Actually, I lazily took all of these from prior posts.

Ramsey is the king of drama, isn’t he? If he can’t make it dramatic, he doesn’t bother with it.

Those grapes must really have been amazing to haul them as an exhibit.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Hard to wrap, though. Would have to put a bow on it and lean it against the outside of the house, cover your eyes and then lead you to it. Leave your son to install it....

#10 is a lot of water
a flash flood
so much Living Water to go around

Christ is in every chapter of the Old Testament

[Hebrews 11:6]

That will probably be my next series: “Christ in the Old Testament”,

[Scott from the Left Coast]

I must have missed that post then…I haven’t seen this one before.

bless you
thank you

[Scott from the Left Coast]

I did not see that thread…the photos of the rock in Saudi Arabia is fascinating as it looks similar to some of the artistic representations.

[Hebrews 11:6]

By the way, have you seen yet that Peter Seidler, the Padres' owner, died today at 63? Apparently, it was not a surprise--he'd been battling cancer.
