JESUS EVICTING A DEMON
JESUS EVICTING A DEMON. Arthur Robins. Oils on Canvas. Jesus evicted demons from people effortlessly and without their permission. He commanded His followers to do so as well. Few of His followers today are willing to do so.

This is an Incredible painting. If we only had faith as small as a mustard seed ..... "Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Matt 17:20
Arthur, do you read Hebrew ? I have always wanted to read a 1st century Hebrew or Aramaic version of Matthew. I am sure that Jesus (Yeshua) used many Hebrew words that have added symbolism and power that gets lost in the Greek and English Translations.
I was ''taught'' Hebrew as a child---I had to go to HEBREW school for 6 years, but I never fully ''learned'' it , just learned it somewhat....not enough to read it and understand it--I truly had more important things to study.
I decided to learn Hebrew after I learned that Jesus name יֵשׁוּעַ
(Salvation) can be read many times in the Old Testament .....
"Here is the God of my Salvation, I shall trust and not fear; for the strength and praise of the Eternal the Lord was my Salvation."
בהִנֵּ֨ה אֵ֧ל יְשֽׁוּעָתִ֛י אֶבְטַ֖ח וְלֹ֣א אֶפְחָ֑ד כִּ֣י עָזִּ֚י וְזִמְרָת֙ יָ֣הּ יְהֹוָ֔ה וַֽיְהִי־לִ֖י לִישׁוּעָֽה:
And you shall draw water with joy from the fountains of the Salvation. (Isaiah 12:3)
Hebrew is a sacred and Holy language---but when you are a kid, and you are being FORCED to learn it-it kinda looses its appeal--especially when I was already fully
immersed in painting drawing sculpture, entomology, zoology, and other sciences.....
That is very True.
