The Birth of a Serpent Slayer
“She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn. There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.” (Luke 2:7-8 WEB)
This was the backdrop of Jesus’ birth. The King of glory, God’s precious gift to us, was born on a dark, silent night, and there was no room for Him.
He did not come with great fanfare or a welcoming procession like the kings of the world would have received.
Instead, He came humbly like one of no repute.
But Heaven was not willing to let the Son of God be treated like a nobody.
“Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. The angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people. For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.” Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God, and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.”” (Luke 2:9-14 WEB)
An angel and the heavenly hosts appeared to shepherds, shining with awesome glory, to announce the good news of the King who was born.
At that point in time, Israel was under Roman rule, and had been ruled by the Gentile kingdoms for many years. The devil had subjugated God’s chosen nation and pressed them hard under his thumb.
However, God’s answer was not loud or dramatic. He sent a baby to be born.
Just as He delivered the children of Israel from Pharaoh using a baby (Moses), He would deliver Israel once more from Satan using another baby (Jesus).
This time, the baby would not be a Lawgiver, but a Law-fulfiller. Jesus fulfilled the demands of the Law through His suffering and death at the cross, and established the New Covenant of Grace for us.
“I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”” (Genesis 3:15 WEB)
No matter what its true origins are, today we celebrate Christmas because God made a promise in the Garden of Eden thousands of years ago, that the seed of the woman would crush the head of the serpent. He kept that promise, becoming the prophesied serpent slayer Himself. Christmas is about a promise kept!
Notice that in the prophecy, the one whose head is bruised is the serpent (Satan), but there is another person who is the “offspring” of the serpent. In the original Hebrew, the word “zaraka” is a noun in the singular, masculine tense, meaning one male child.
This wicked male child was destined to have hostility against the offspring (also singular and masculine tense) of the woman, who is our Lord Jesus Christ.
Who is the offspring of the serpent? If you are curious to find out his name as revealed in the Bible, and also the details about his eventual destruction and Jesus’ victory, you can read all the exciting details in “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever”: https://www.ko-fi.com/s/7b9e3783ae

【預言家】
-水彩、廣告顏料、電腦繪圖
『在數千數萬難以估算的未來裡...只有找到那一個唯一能帶給大家幸福的方法、才是我生存的意義。』
做為預言家的她、引領著一族前進,垂下的藍色雨滴,宛如於未來等待著她們的各種挑戰與困境。唯有當她在無數的未來之中尋找到那閃爍的唯一明星時,才有機會讓大家獲得生存的可能性。
這張繪畫作品是我之前在臉書粉絲團,基於大家票選出來的草稿加以繪製而成,也是充滿玩興與各種嘗試的一幅作品。中途一度把她畫得太嚴肅、很像男孩子,最後才努力把她修改回來、回到和草稿比較相似的氣氛之中。圖中的白銀色飾品,都是以銀色廣告顏料繪製而成,原圖上可以看到銀色的光芒經過反射而閃閃發光。但我發現與金色顏料不同,銀色有點格格不入、比較難融入其他顏色之中,我之後會再對銀色顏料做更多的嘗試!
這張作品也是我的Patreon十一月份獎勵,其中包含著作畫過程與解說!
【Prophet 】
-watercolors, poster colosr, digital.
“To find the way for us to live in love and prosperity, from the thousands futures, is my only wish and duty.”
For the meaning of the work, the blue drops mean obstacles and uncertainties in the future, and she as a prophet, for directing a road for people, her duty is to find shining stars among the darkness of numerous futures, to know where is the right way to go. I have a lot of fun doing this work and I learned many things from it, I will took the experiences from this work and create a better painting next time!
This work is also one of my Patreon rewards in November, which included its drawing processes and descriptions!

Lyrics:
Fly Away
To the sky
Shining bright
Like a sunshine
Dreaming high
Like the stars
Dancing through
With the cloud
And everyday
We search a meaning
Every cloud has silver lining
As long as you are still, breathing
Don’t waste your time
Keep fighting
Even if you drift and fall
Look the mountain, still stand tall
Believe yourself and keep on running
Don’t look back
Stay Dreaming

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
重ねた言葉は何を守るため?
強くなれるだけでいい 答えはもういらない
例えば心は傷を負うだけで
それだけのものだとしたら 悲しいね
それでも空を見上げてる
行き場をなくした月の影 勢いを増した向かい風
知らないどこかで手にした何かは
音を立て すぐに消えた
そう 世界の片隅で
祈りとか誓いすら意味をなさない
居場所すら忘れ 歩き続けてく
かざした刃は誰を守るため?
強くなれるだけでいい 答えはもういらない
例えば心は傷を負うだけで
それだけのものだとしても かまわない
それでも空を見上げてる
うつむいたままの景色まで 目に映るものは痛みだけ
知らない誰かに望んだ全ては 今はもう風に消えた
そう 世界はまわるだけ
残された期待なら意味をなさない
求めたものは捨て 歩き続けてく
重ねた言葉は何を守るため?
弱さと向き合うなら 涙はもういらない
「さよなら」「さよなら」くりかえすだけで
それだけの日々だとしたら 悲しいね
それでも空を見上げてる
いまでも星を探してる
夜明けを求めた旅人は
真夜中輝く 青い太陽
傷ついたこと 傷つけたこと
すべて体温(ねつ)にかえるまで ずっと歩いてく
重ねた言葉は何を守るため?
強くなれるだけでいい 答えはもういらない
かざした刃は誰を守るため?
弱さと向き合うなら 涙はもういらない
心は 心は 傷を負うだけで
それだけのものだとしても かまわない
それでも空を見上げてる
中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
那些持續說服自我的話語,是為了堅持什麼?
只要能變得更堅強就好,我們不需要知道那會有什麼結果
假如說,擁有心靈只會背負更多的傷痛
如果心靈真的僅是這樣的東西,那真是令人哀傷
但即使哀傷,我們仍只能仰望著這片天空
失去藏身之所的月影,昏暗的是漸漸加劇的逆風
在不知名的地方,落入手中的那些未知之物
也僅是留下聲音的殘影,轉瞬飛散了
是的,無論是祈禱甚至是誓言
在這角落的世界裡都沒有任何作用
而我們只能一面忘卻自己的棲身之所,一面持續向前
武裝了自己的信念,是為了守護什麼人?
只需變得堅強,答案什麼的就通通捨棄吧
假如說,擁有心靈也只會讓我們背負更多的傷痛
而就算心靈真的僅是這樣的東西,那也無所謂了
我們也僅是追尋著這片天空
從遠處一直到低頭、映入眼簾的都只有痛苦的風景
對著不知名的某人所渴求的那些願望,現在,也全消散在風中了
沒錯,這個世界僅是前進著
若是那些被遺留於身後的期望,那都已經失去意義
捨棄那些曾經追求過的東西,我們,僅須向前
持續鼓舞自己的話語,是為了堅持什麼?
若是要面對自己的懦弱,就捨棄我們的眼淚吧
僅是重複著「再見」與「再見」
若走過的日子僅有這些離別的話,那真是讓人感傷
但即使如此,我們仍追求著這片天空
如今,我們也仍在尋找著星斗
那些追尋黎明的旅人
是於午夜中燃燒青焰的烈日
無論是受了傷的過去,還是傷害了他人的過往
直至將這一切全化作自己的體內的炙熱,他們將一直、一直走下去
累積下來的千言萬語,究竟是為了堅持什麼?
只要能變得更堅強就好,堅強的結果是什麼我們並不需要知道
而武裝了自己的信念,到底是為了與什麼人抗衡?
若是要對抗自己的脆弱,眼淚什麼的我們也已經不再需要
就算,心靈的傷痕只會不斷、不停的增加
縱使心靈就是如此的東西,那都無足畏懼
因為無論如何,我們,都只會持續追尋著這片天空
英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
Just what are the words I’ve piled up meant to protect?
I’d be satisfied with them merely making me stronger; I don’t need an answer anymore.
But if it were really nothing more,
Than something to cause me pain, it would be so sad;
Nonetheless, I’m still looking up to the sky.
Like the moon’s shadow when it has nowhere left to run, or a headwind increasing in strength,
An unknown thing obtained, in an unknown place, made an audible noise before vanishing.
That’s right: in the corners of the world, prayers and oaths exercise no meaning,
Forgetting where they belong only to walk on endlessly.
Just who is the blade we hold aloft meant to protect?
I’d be satisfied with it merely making me stronger; I don’t need an answer anymore.
But even if it was really nothing more,
Than something to cause me pain, I wouldn’t mind;
I’m still looking up to the sky.
Everything that reflects in my eyes is full of pain, even the scenery I see lying face down,
As the entirety of some unknown person’s desires gets carried away by the wind.
That’s right: just by the world spinning ’round, any hopes still left will exercise no meaning,
Leaving all who sought them to walk on endlessly.
Just what are the words I’ve piled up meant to protect?
If I can face my weaknesses, I’ll no longer have need for tears.
But if these days are to consist of nothing more,
Than repeating, “Farewell!”, “Farewell!”, it would be so sad;
Nonetheless, I’m still looking up to the sky.
Even now, I’m still searching for the stars.
The travelers who sought after the dawn,
Are a pale sun shining at midnight,
Walking on and on,
Until all the pain exchanged to and fro converts to heat.
Just what are the words I’ve piled up meant to protect?
I’d be satisfied with them merely making me stronger; I don’t need an answer anymore.
Just who is the blade we hold aloft meant to protect?
If I can face my weaknesses, I’ll no longer have need for tears.
Even if the only real purpose for this heart,
Is to be wounded, I wouldn’t mind;
I’m still looking up to the sky.

しおblog:http://theoshio.blog63.fc2.com/ I named her "Thea", which has three meanings.
1) Thea is an alternative spelling of Theia, which was the Titan goddess of sight (thea) and shining light of the clear blue sky (aithre) from the ancient Greek myth. θεά, the Greek word for goddess, the feminine of theos
2) Theia (planet), a Mars-sized protoplanet that may have been involved in the creation of the Moon.
3) Thea is a name for girls meaning "gift from God".
