GOD-Scene II (Part I)
Scene II GOD
According to the “dream” my mother had where she saw God, she stated that he was so bright that she knew if she had not been meant to be there that she knew she would have went blind. She was unable to see the detail of his face because of the light but she knew he was a man. This is where the brilliant, white light originated for Scene II of the painting. Initially I contacted NASA for a light so bright that it would insult the eyes but not cause permanent damage. I wanted the pupils to jerk in constriction. NASA never responded.
Knowing early on that another form of brilliant, white light would have to be substituted, I was stumped. Considering everything from flat panels to full spectrum lighting, I became frustrated and put that part of the painting on hold for quite a long time. I thought that maybe I would have a chance with NASA engineers if there was more to show them. I considered all the money America has contributed to NASA’s dreams and I believed (still naive) that they would make a light for The Revelation Painting.
Ezekiel 1:1-14 (New International Version)
Ezekiel 1
The Living Creatures and the Glory of the Lord
1 In the [a] thirtieth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day, while I was among the exiles by the Kebar River, the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.
4 I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north—an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal, 5 and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was that of a man, 6 but each of them had four faces and four wings. 7 Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze. 8 Under their wings on their four sides they had the hands of a man. All four of them had faces and wings, 9 and their wings touched one another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved.
10 Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a man, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle. 11 Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out upward; each had two wings, one touching the wing of another creature on either side, and two wings covering its body. 12 Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went. 13 The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it. 14 The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning…
I began to measure and sketch exactly what it would take and the size of it to magnify the importance of this scene.
