$6,500.00 USD
The painting is a neo-expressionistic interpretation
of Jewish and Christian literature pertaining to
apocalyptic eschatology. The Return – AD 70
portrays the biblical reference, “The sun will be
turned to darkness, the moon to blood, the stars
will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will
be shaken.” (Matthew 24:29; Isaiah 13:10; 34:4,
Joel 2:31)
One author has written: “The sun is the religion of
the Jewish church; the moon is the government of
the Jewish state; and the stars are the judges and
doctrines of both.” (John Lightfoot 1602-1675, A
Commentary on the New Testament from the
Talmud and Hebraica: Matthew – 1 Corinthians.)
This Old and New Testament solar, lunar, and
stellar language are descriptions of great political
and social upheavels that have taken place in
ancient history and climaxed with the sack of
Jerusalem in AD 70.
