Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote "I shot an arrow into the air, it fell to earth I know not where. For so swiftly it flew, the sight. Could not follow in its flight..."
I saw the White Horse Breaking of the First Seal, the Salvation through Jesus. Revelations 6:1 Then I watched as the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say in a thunderous voice, “Come!” 2 So I looked and saw a white horse, and its rider had a bow. And he was given a crown, and he rode out to overcome and conquer. And this is Conquest.
The work of the first horseman will continue until the offer of salvation is terminated during the Great Tribulation. The rider on this horse dispatched from Heaven’s throne is responsible for the promotion of "the good news" throughout Earth which is declared in 2 Timothy 4:8 "Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the LORD, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day-and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing."
Oh but so many people. So may divisions. So many religions. It is truly Tower of Babel gone wild here and now!! But Jesus said in John 10:16 "And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd."
The turkey is a symbol of the Earth's wildness that man can never control.The feathers, viewed as abundance, pride and fertility, have now pierced their intended target, the heart of the earth.
Yet an arrow has little effect unless it is propelled from a bow.
This bow is adorned with eagle feathers, long told of being messengers of God, only earned through hardship, loyalty, and strength. The bear claw hangs from them representing the protector and evokes courage, physical strength and leadership.
The bow. The weapon of choice. Made up of 27 pieces of backbone. As many as there are books in the New Testament. I kept hearing "the backbone of America". The truckers? The farmers? The founding fathers? Labor? The Constitution? Could be. But that'd be from us here Babel dwellers points of view. From the Father's point of view it is those who wish to protect theirs and forge a new identity. In Him? Instead of Him? Hmmm...Time will surely tell.
Or is it made up of the backbone of the Bible's five key covenants God made with us? After all, the Bible is our weapon of choice and is empowered by God.
And then I was pondering "now why would the Holy Spirit ask me to paint in an open Native American Medicine Wheel into this painting?" He answered me with "there are more than four dimensions in this world where we live. In addition to the three dimensions of space and the one of time, there is the openness to Him which transcends the others allowing us a peak at heaven. Luke 21:25 "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.
And did you know, one of the names for the Holy Spirit is The Wind? Here He adorns the crown in diamond shaped turquoise and reflects John 3:8 "The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.
"My children, my children,
The wind makes the head-feathers sing.
The wind makes the head-feathers sing."
So...this first seal... allows the Antichrist to come into the world. And the white feather, the symbol of purity, faith and protection, is down... on the target.
Your options during the Great Tribulation will be quite simple: Obey the laws of God and suffer the wrath of man, or obey the laws of man and suffer the wrath of God. Make no mistake! Wrath of some type will happen. God is about to declare war on sin. What to do? What to do? Unfortunately, many people will not repent and will instead curse God for His judgment of the world. But God is still good. He has still given us one more chance with His Holy Spirits urging on the surge of so many artists prophetic paintings and writings like this will assist those in finding the way to God. It will be their roadmap home.
Those five covenants are built upon each other and create the strength in our own backbone to stand on the Word for our redemption. As God preserved the world through Noah, (Noahic in Genesis), initiated a redemption through Abraham, (Abrahamic in Genesis), formed a special people through Israel, (Mosaic in Exodus) promised a shepherd-king through David, (Davidic Psalms) and then fulfilled all of his covenantal promises through Jesus. To finally, God promised our salvation through our Lord Jesus, (the entire New Testament) from Genesis to Revelations, to have a good ending you need a good start. TICK - TOCK!
On earth as it is in heaven. See ya on the other side.
