The Birth of the Messiah
After Yeshua was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him." When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. When he had called together all the people's chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Christ was to be born. "In Bethlehem in Judea," they replied, "for this is what the prophet has written: "`But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.' "Matthew 2:1-6, adapted NIV |

The Door of Heaven
After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this."Revelation 4:1 |

Noah's Ark
God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded. Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky. The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down, and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. Genesis 8:1-4 |

BC: Self Portrait
This is a self portrait of my life before Messiah, hence the title (B.C.). This was created with oil on canvas, and actually painted before I became a believer. Ironically, on my wrist, I'm wearing a "WWJD" bracelet. The dark mood of the painting will be readily observed, and is characteristic of my life before Yeshua. I have painted a counterpart to this painting, titled A.D., it has yet to be photographed and scanned. |
