It is easy to get caught-up with analyzing the book of Revelation, or to get sidetracked by the issue of “time.” Jack told us that his goal in painting “His Eyes Are Like a Fiery Flame” (2024) from Revelation 19 was first to create an experience for himself, and then to create an experience for his viewers, as they encounter it.
