Description

“For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God” (Romans 8:19-21).

“Indeed, the Lord will comfort Zion; He will comfort all her waste places. And her wilderness He will make like Eden, And her desert like the garden of the Lord; Joy and gladness will be found in her, Thanksgiving and sound of a melody” (Isaiah 51:3).

ARTIST NOTE: This is an illustration of a resurrected Believer in their glorified body (a child of light), assisting in the restoration of nature on the desolate and broken world after the Great Tribulation. At this point, Scripture teaches that Jesus is ruling the entire world in perfect justice from His throne in Jerusalem and the Saints are ruling with Him and assisting in the restoration of all things for the Kingdom of God - this goes on for ten centuries (1,000 years), which is often referred to as the "Millennium" or the "Millennial Reign of Christ." We see in Isaiah that during this period, some notable things happen, including the healing and restoration of nature itself - with the deserts returning to life and animals reverting back to their non-violent designs. I wanted to show a sort of Tolkien "elvish" quality here - that wherever the Believer goes, the light and healing and life of God follow in nature - the Kingdom of God that Jesus said involved the healing of illnesses, disease, and destruction has come upon the earth. Here, we see a winter mountain, asleep beneath the snow, waking up to lush life in the presence of the glorified Believer and the light of life that is in the children of light - the adopted children of God. The figure is crowned with the cross of light - an allusion to the perfect global government of Christ - Jesus as King.
