That’s called a ‘Jacob’s Ladder’, and it’s a rather large one......................

I’ll see you on the ladder.

One step at a time....

With all the symbolic merging of man and beast some might see those steps as rungs of DNA.

Herewith, a bit of sophomoric Latin doggerel I learned in the college dorm:

Thank you. I enjoy looking at religious art and seeing other people’s
concepts of what things would look like. Some I identify with, and
others not so much.

Something about variety being the spice of life....

I don’t censor artists or styles, because I never know which one the Holy Spirit wants to use to reach someone.

Yeah, good point.

I haven't come across any depictions of Jacob's Ladder as a musical scale or instrument (although 24 and 27 come close). Seems like it would help explain why angels are depicted playing on HÅRPs, because

A series of arpeggios in J. S. Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring

Translated over to musical instruments,

An arpeggio (Italian: [arˈpeddʒo]) is a type of broken chord in which the notes that compose a chord are individually sounded in a progressive rising or descending order.

>>>

In musical notation, a very rapid arpeggiated chord may be written with a wavy vertical line in front of the chord. Typically these are read as to be played from the lowest to highest note, though composers may specify a high to low sequence by adding an arrow pointing down.

>>>

The word arpeggio comes from the Italian word arpeggiare, which means to play on a harp.

Joy to the World can be played in one octave................

Blake’s spiral staircase is very cool.

What always got me about this story is where Jacob goes and gets a stone to use as a pillow.
