Raptured Heart
Have you heard of the Rapture? This painting is a visualization of God’s Heart calling us Heavenward; those who have passed and even those who are still waiting to see the fulfillment of His promise to have a home for each of us. The key is love. Does this appeal to you? Do you want to be with Jesus?
The souls in route are depicted in red representing the Lord’s atonement, the white, representing the new natures we are given. People are going to Heaven every day, but according to the scripture there will be a global event called the Harpazo, or Rapture where great numbers will be taken. (I’ve included scripture references.)
This painting is inspired by biblical events which are soon to take place. The white heart represents Heaven. The atmosphere around Heaven has cloud formations that represent the angelic realm that are positioned to war against each other and saints as they are arriving in Heaven. The saints are depicted with red and white, representing the blood atonement and white linen robes that are required.
The following are scripture references that correlate to the forecasted prophetic events.
1 Thessalonians 4: 16, 17
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1 Corinthians 51-52
51 Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
2 Corinthians 12:2
I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. ... Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows.
Revelations 4:1
The Throne in 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. Throne in 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.
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels.
Revelations 12:17
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus ...
Harpazo
Like a siren there shall be such a sound!
Even the rocks shall cry out!
The wait is over – the wait is over!
All eyes to that cloud where the Savior beacons.
The hollowed earth remembers the promise that cannot be broken.
The dust of precious souls is once again breathed into by its Creator.
Cries of joy mixed with cries of horror; how can this be?
Incorruptible people soaring Heavenward.
Shooting stars lifting not from darkest Space, but from the womb of the Earth.
And in the twinkling of an eye, we who long to be for evermore shall follow.
Fallow the shooting stars to the Light of Lights, Yeshua, the morning star.
The battle of Heaven makes way for us to find our homes.
The clashes of loyalty versus usurpers rages as the rebellious plummet as rogue fireballs crashing toward lakes of fire forevermore.
The Heavens are being made ready – be watchful!
