Description
This art is about John the Baptist. In Hebrew, he is known as Yochanan ha-matbil. In Arabic he is called Yahya. He was from the same bloodline as Jesus Christ. John was the forerunner, or herald, of the Messiah. John echoed the words of the Prophet Elijah, written in the Book of Isaiah. He was fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. It was foretold that a messenger would prepare the way for the Messiah.

I drew it with pencil and did some gray-scale digital painting. I always prefer the simplicity of the black and white. So I doubt I will paint it in color. The words of the sequential art are taken from the Holy Gospels. My inspiration for the art is this: The sad state of the world shows me how we need a savior. We need a savior to cover our sins, heal us, and make us worthy to be with a holy God. The story of John the Baptist is not the beginning. The beginning is in Genesis, the time of our creation and our falling away from God. John the Baptist announced that it is time to receive God and God's plan to restore humanity.

I have a few more pages I am working on.
