Tabernacle


Tabernacle - Christine Nichols, 2010
“Make the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim woven into them by a skilled worker." Exodus 26:1

This is another painting of the curtain tapestry in the Tabernacle. The layers of colors and the curved lines creates movement. The Tabernacle was moved across the wilderness. You can read about the exodus from Egypt, the Tabernacle, and 40 years in the wilderness in the Book of Exodus



All my paintings begin with prayer. I ask for the Holy Spirit's guidance from beginning to end - from choosing the canvas and paint colors to the last brush stroke. I pray that the Lord's message would go forth through the art and that Father God would be glorified. I believe all prophetic art has a message, but what the Holy Spirit speaks to me about a specific piece of art, may be different than what the Spirit says to you. Seek Him for a personal interpretation.

Temple Curtain


As I was painting this large 2'x4' canvas in 2009, the Holy Spirit told me to pause and take a photograph. The result is an artwork entitled, "Temple Curtain" taken from Exodus 26:1 where God is giving instructions for the Tabernacle.

“Make the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim woven into them by a skilled worker." 
  
Biblical color meanings:
Linen (white): Holy, pure, God
Blue: Holy Spirit, Heaven
Purple: Royalty, majesty, kingship
Scarlet (red): blood, sacrifice, sin, redemption
Gold: God's glory, His presence
