Job's Sacrifice BC image |
Job's Sacrifice Plate 18 |
Notice the angels circling around the border (or are they are Job's
daughters?)
Notice the open Bible on the bottom left and the scroll on the bottom right. (We might see the Bible representing the Old Testament and the scroll the new one.)
Job's arms are spread like a pastor pronouncing the benediction.
The fire in the altar are reminiscent of the fire of God that came to
Elijah's altar in the contest with the prophets of Baal. It is a cleansing and healing fire.
