2 Trees -----In the Garden! {This painting is no longer available.)


"2 Trees"

Cold Wax and Oil

40" x 40"

Inspired by the book:  "There were two trees in the Garden."

by Rick Joyner
Morning-star Ministries.
A profound book that gives great understanding of the two natures of mankind, 
our lineage for better or for worse.
  The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
  The Tree of Life.
  Of which one do we eat?
Death or Life?
Compelling!
When I completed this painting, I saw a Cross jutting out of the top of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The Cross holds earth together, Earth  represented by the Tree, as the Cross forged through the Tree becoming the trunk and Earth’s holding power. The Earth has been purchased by Christ on the Cross.

Then, if you have an imagination like I do, on the right side of the Tree of Knowledge there is an impression of the Head of Jesus in profile.

On the far right, the Tree of Life is brilliant in contrast and universal in scope. Holding out to us the hope of Glory, Christ in me! Christ in you!

I saw these images after I finished the painting.

It seems that the world has come into a Sabbath.
 In an old video of Bob Jones, filmed in the 1990's, he states that 2020 is the year we will come into our Rest. Forced upon us, yes. But God is calling us into keeping His Sabbath.

 These thoughts about Sabbath are mine.

  To the Saints He calls: Come into Rest!

Bob  stated, rather than being people in faith we will be God’s people “of” faith. 
We will walk in great power.
 He stated God’s Glory will cover the Earth. Again!
There will be a great Harvest!

In another video Bob states:  "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so."  Psalm 107

Rick Joyner’s book and the video greatly influenced this painting.
 I believe it is prophetic for this time.
