ICONOGRAPHY

Mysteries of the Millennial Kingdom

HAVE you ever stared into a painting and felt, oh, I don’t know, moved with inspiration? Be careful. The mood may prompt you to pray. Big mistake. The Protestant Police will show up to call you an idolater and convert you to KJV-onlyism. Because when they wander that wing of the gallery they feel nothing. Nothing at all. They do it stoically. In bed as well. Haven’t I ever told you that visiting an art museum was a dangerous endeavor? Now you have been warned. Continuing with my Mysteries of the Millennial Kingdom investigation, I’m finally jumping into the deep end of the pool. Don’t worry, I have a swimming partner. It’s called a hypothesis. I have repeatedly stated that the Middle Ages was the physical embodiment of YASHA’UA Messiah’s Millennial Kingdom, and as part of the Scientific Process, I have put Medieval Religiosity to the burner.

Labyrinths, The Pilgrim’s Path, The Natsarim, War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness, The Green Man, Gargoyles & Grotesques, The Maypole Mysteries, Camelot, The Black Plague, Friday XIII, King Henry VIII, Prester John, 500 Years of the Phoenix, and Vesica Piscis consists of just some of my doggy paddling through the shallow end of the pool. So far I have managed without a leg cramp but you never really know. We should prepare for every possibility.

Admit it, up to this point many of us have only been getting our toes wet, because what I’m about to tackle will test your theological limits. Particularly if you have been given a Protestant upbringing. And why do I keep using a pool analogy? Probably because it’s the heat of summer and one can dream. Well, high diving into the most controversial topic of all, Iconography. I’m going in. Don’t try to stop me.
