Revelation
As visitors enter the Noggle
Christian Ministry Center for the first time, they all react
the same way. They fix their eyes on the wall 10 feet above
the lobby to gaze at the 22-foot wide x 8-foot tall painting
overhead.
This provocative painting entitled Revelation by artist-in-residence
Rod Crossman took three years to complete, 1982-1984. Mr. Crossman
stretched, hung and painted the canvas from the location where
it currently hangs.
Mr. Crossman says about the painting, “We are both a physical
and spiritual being, but often our spiritual eyes are shut,
making it impossible to see the invisible yet eternal things
around us.” He hopes the painting will be an inspiration
for everyone to open their spiritual eyes to the battles taking
place in the heavenly realms.
The mural is dedicated to his mother Victoria Crossman who was
a constant inspiration and example of a Christian Warrior to
Rod and all who knew her.
(Bit of trivia: If visitors look closely they might see “Lord”
written in the sky and a prayer etched across the horizon.)
