I wish I could give the author of this digital photo-manipulation art credit for his/her work. The author was not named on the site where I found it. [July 15, 2012 - I found the author and original post.]
Fiery Lion
Does this evoke any biblical imagery in your imagination? I can’t think of any fiery lions in the Bible, but these images do come to mind:
- The Seraphim – fiery, angelic beings described in Isaiah 6:2ff.
- The Fourth Man – whom Nebuchadnezzar saw in the blazing furnace in Daniel 3:24ff.
- The Glorified Christ – whose eyes appeared to blaze like fire, and whose face shone like the sun in Matthew 17:1ff and Revelation 1:14ff.
- The Lion of the Tribe of Judah – who alone was worthy to open the seven-sealed scroll of God’s decrees in Revelation 5:5ff.
What biblical images does this call to your imagination?
The flaming lion image is awesome!
