Text: Except for the phrase, "GOD IS GOD IS . . .", all of the texts are verses taken from the King James Version of the Holy Bible. From the center outward, they are: "I AM Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." Rev. 22:13 "Fear not, I am the first and the last - I am he that liveth and was dead: and behold I am alive for evermore, amen." Rev. 1:27-28 "Be still and know that I AM God: I will be exalted among the heathen: I will be exalted in the earth." Psalm 46:10 The seven points of the inner 'star' contain the seven names of Jehovah, cited in the following verses: JEHOVAH NISSI, The LORD our Banner: Exodus 25:10-15 JEHOVAH JIREH, The LORD will provide: Genesis 22:9-14 JEHOVAH RAPHA, The LORD that healeth: Exodus 15:25-26 JEHOVAH RA-AH, The Lord my shepherd: Psalm 23 JEHOVAH HAMM-AH, The LORD is present: Ezekiel 47-48 JEHOVAH TSIDKENU, The LORD our righteousness: Jeremiah 23:2-5 JEHOVAH SHALOM, The LORD our peace: Judges 6:14-24 The small star points contain the seven names of Jehovah in Hebrew, 23k gold leaf on gesso base. The outer seven points contain the seven days of creation, from Genesis 1-11, interspersed with illustrations of each of the days.
