An Etching of Michelangelo's Moses

black and white etching of Michelangelo's
Moses. Go here and here.
Description of Illustration:  a black and white illustration of Moses holding The 10 Commandments, etching

The Moses (c. 1513–1515) is a sculpture by the Italian High Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, housed in the church of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome. Commissioned in 1505 by Pope Julius II for his tomb. Sometimes the appearance of "horns" on portraits/sculptures of Moses are actually not intended to be "horns" but jets of light. Moses was said to have "glowed" with light because of his consistent presence with the actual person of Christ. (This situation in scripture is called a Christophany) When a Christophany occurs in scripture, the light cast by Jesus is so brilliant that people are physically transformed. Such as was the case with Saul, who later became Paul, on the road to Damascus, when he was blinded by Jesus' light. Artists portray these phenomena by a variety of means and or symbolism. This understanding can be lost or misinterpreted by people over the passing of time.

       Unfortunately the intro is the same for each video, so just fast forward folks to avoid hearing it ten times. "In Jesus, God has fulfilled the law and set us free. Still, many of us prefer being enslaved to rebellion and sin. Like the children of Israel, we keep circling the desert, stuck. The truth is, we can’t begin to live free until we realize there’s only one God—and we’re not him. God is our Father, and he desires for us to experience the freedom that comes with living according to his loving will." Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10
