Reading the prophets again this month—such richly textured communicators! Artist priest are my favorites! The prophetic imagination fascinates me!
People often get lost in the image rich language of the prophets, but they are speaking between realms, so symbols are the most adequate way of naming the coming together of heaven and earthly realms. You see image, dream, vision over and over—as they are the best containers for the messages of God. And so many angels swoop in and out! They help us see beyond the literal.

Art is a container for Divine communications. This is modeled in the prophets, which is another reason they are so cool. Love studying the prophets again this season! If you think the book is boring, read Zechariah—it will blow your mind again, or for the first time- it’s like Chagal paintings amplified!

What do you see? What do you see? The angels keep asking the prophet. Spiritual sight is a pre-requisite for the prophetic imagination! Love it. Fun swirling around with the prophets between all the angels today! Plus, Zechariah is all about the theme of restoration in his times and in the future times for all mankind—large scoped vision this guy had! Restoration is a good meditation for our times!

Challenges us to go wide angled in our spiritual sight! Good stuff. And I do love that so many of the messages come to him through dreams, visions and in the in between.

The prophets were at home in the liminal spaces! Jeremiah hung out at the gates, and like Wisdom on ridges rivers and rims! Love studying them again this month. Not boring!
