" 9-11  THE CALL"

The Sun of Righteousness will Rise with Healing in His Wings

 

Shortly after September 11, 2001 I was inspired to paint this painting entitled 9-11 The Call. I hope those who view the painting will be encouraged to hold onto their God given faith to bring them through every trial.

The Message

THE REVERSED FLAG:

This vision was painted from a bird’s eye view looking downward from the heavens.  From this paradigm the eagle is flying with the flag opposite from how it is normally portrayed with it’s stars on the left and stripes on the right. However, the people watching the eagle from any of the sites in the painting would be viewing the flag as it is traditionally seen with its stars on the left and stripes on the right.

BELOW THE FLAG:

Below the scenes are the words. “UNITED WE STAND, IN GOD WE TRUST. THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL RISE WITH HEALING IN HIS WINGS."   I believe it is God’s heart to bring healing to those who lost loved ones on 9-11-01.

ABOVE THE FLAG:

Emerging from the sunburst the image of a dove can be seen. This symbol of God’s Holy Spirit represents the presence of God in the midst of trial. Many of the stories told by survivors of the attack on 9-11 have testified of God's divine guidance on that day.

THE EAGLE:

In this painting the eagle has taken flight with the flag in his talons. He is determined to take it across the nation as a call to return back to the foundation of our founding fathers. 

THE THREE SITES

From right to left, New York City, the field in Pennsylvania and Pentagon on the far left.

THE BADGES:

Painted in honor of the New York Fire Department and the New York Police Department and in respect for those who gave their lives to saving others.  Thank you.

 

"Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted”. Jesus Christ
