The Lenten Sunday’s work from “The Art of Prophecy” for this week is the prophet Daniel, Sistine Chapel, 1511.
Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge. Daniel 12:3-4, c536 BC
Michelangelo's Daniel, 1511
Certainly the time we live in meets the description of Daniel’s “time of the end.” Just as a casual reflection on modern travel, communications, and exponential increase in information in this computer age meets the requirements Daniel gives. – quote from the book, The Art of Prophecy.

In the Sunday Series of works from “The Art of Prophecy” I am posting two Isaiahs. Both of these works are presented in the book. I prefer Raphael’s Isaiah to Michalangelo’s based on which one I suppose is the more likely portrayal. The book points out the similarities of Raphael’s Isaiah to Michelangelo’s Moses.
Raphael's - The Prophet Isaiah, 1511-1512
Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino) 1483-1520
Michelangelo's - Prophet Isaiah, 1509 Sistine Chapel
Michelangelo Buonarroti 1475 – 1564

It’s true, the truth will set you free. That and talking to a new artist friend helped me to see some things in a different light yesterday. Feeling some relief this morning, ahhhhhhh. What was I thinking? Plus she sent me a pretty present! Thank you Sharyn.

When there is absolutely not enough time to get everything done, then I need to take time, to sit down with a “good book.” The front porch is my favorite place, to slow things down and do exactly that.

Another of Michelangelo’s prophets is the second entry in my Lenten Sundays series from the book “The Art Of Prophecy.”
“Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.” – Zech. 13:7, C 487 BC
The Prophet Zeccariah, 1509 - Sistine Chapel
“This very night you will fall away on account of me, for it is written: ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ ” – Matt. 26:31 C AD33
