Description Acts 2:20 The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes. Here lately there has been much discussion concerning the four total eclipses (Tetrad) appearing over the next two years (2014, 2015). To some it is an unbelievable attempt to try schedule the day of our Lord Jesus the Christ. With others it is an indication that He is soon to appear. The scripture appears to mention its occurrence in over 90 different scriptures (Red Moon) located in the Holy Bible.

Knowing His word coming from the prophet Joel and the Apostle Paul definitely heightens to urgency to fall on our knees in praise as an expression of great joy. Through the precious blood of the Lamb we will appear with him on that great and awesome day to celebrate His kingdom. As a member of the Lords body I welcome these great signs and look forward to his coming. There is evidence all around us that the earth is groaning his coming. AmenAfter this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our

Artist Statement The primary principle of my art is to paint from life the message of Jesus Christ. Our humanity provides the greatest inspiration for my work. It is through the Spirit of God and the Reborn human condition that my obsession for art is found in larger-than-life representations of the Holy Spirit on Canvas
I love using the contrasts of shapes ,colors , and textures finding them as we relate to the Spirit of God . How our spirit man can be rendered in such glory as we give praise to our creator and God.
With this I can make my case for the wonderful and marvelous creation given to us by God. Creating positive images and reflecting God's greatest attribute –LOVE--
May the presence and Spirit of God reach all who visit this site. Peace and Love Anthony Crudup
