Without words create a picture of mercy and faithfulness in the heavens based on this verse: “For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.” (Psalms 89:2, KJV)
Standing with draped fabric
A surrealist, double-exposure art piece. In the foreground, there are translucent, architect’s blueprint lines and ghostly outlines of the ancient Temple altars, lampstands, and the Holy of Holies (representing the "figures of the true"). Overlapping and far superior to them, Jesus Christ stands before an blinding, warm, golden divine presence (representing the "presence of God"). He is actively gesturing forward, presenting a scroll or his own wounds on behalf of unseen people ("for us"). Transcendent, ethereal, glowing edges, minimal color palette of gold, white, and midnight blue.

“That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.” (Colossians 2:2-5, KJV)

The San Gorgonio Pass, Mt. San Gorgonio) rises in the North, all hoary-frost and granite.  Snake-like clouds adorning her peak, I gaze past the big white house toward her uplifted boulders.
And at the South, Mt. San Jacinto has lost his head in cloud.  Burned bones against a blue sky backdrop.  Between the two, another sunrise gleams and beams of brilliant, white-hot day flash forth:  They accentuate the Sonora desert’s west extreme, and last night’s moon forgot to go away.
