Essence (the Trinity)

 Upon hearing that the first painting was of the Trinity, some nervousness, but excitement set in. “Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.” John 6:46, never mind the Holy Spirit, and even Moses was not allowed to see God’s face upon asking: “And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.” Exd 33:20.  So, how could one ever execute this???

 The moment portrayed was to be a conversation within the Trinity, where Jesus was to be sent for his Earthly mission, having a body of flesh prepared ultimately for; the cross.

 Hbr 10:5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: "Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me;  

 Hbr 10:9 Then he said, "Here I am, I have come to do your will." 

 One night, before sleeping, I prayed that I might get a small glimpse, even a vague image to help me envision the Trinity. Fully expecting to see something, I fell asleep, and dreamt the entire night that I was reading the bible, searching for clues as to how to piece this together. No vision was given. I found that mildly humorous. After all, I’m certainly no John on the Island of Patmos, or Ezekiel, but I did feel that perhaps I had divine permission to read their accounts and assemble pieces together: 

Rev 4:3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian. (crystal) A rainbow, resembling an emerald, encircled the throne.  

Rev 4:5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. 

Rev 4:6 Also before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. 

Eze 1:26 Above the expanse over their heads was what looked like a throne of sapphire, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man.
