Behold the Almighty

Painting number 1.

"Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen. "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."

Revelation 1:7-8

There's a lot to the prologue of Revelation, but these two verses caught me the most, seeming to be the embodiment of the whole of Revelation. Behold, he is coming... The Almighty, the Alpha and the Omega.

I know it's not perfect, and I don't pretend that anything is set in stone, but God seems to be fond of making something beautiful out of something imperfect - like each of us. Maybe the point of these paintings is not that they're perfect, but rather simply true.
