The rapture

According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. I´m not one of the chosen ones.

The rapture I
80x100 cms. Acrylic on canvas.

““I am fully happy, I mark my sacred laws, I skirt paths to reach my goal. There is fire, but I don't burn. There are floods, but I don't drown. There are rules, but I don't abide by them… I don't know what could go wrong."

The rapture II
80x100 cms. Acrylic on canvas.

"And that glow in the distance? Where does it come from? That glow obscures everything. But if that's what I think, another false alarm; another imaginary scenario in my head, it will take care of itself… But… what if not? I do not know what to expect."

The rapture III
80x100 cms. Acrylic on canvas.

"The sun grows bigger, the light burns me, the sound drowns me, the ground shakes angrily, the unlived scares me, it always has. What do I do? Where do I run when there is no refuge? I don't know what to think".

The rapture IV
80x100 cms. Acrylic on canvas.

"Everything is destroyed, it is scary to be aware of reality. Everything I worked for, everyone I felt for, everything screams, everything hurts, it hurts a lot, everything hurts. I don't know what to do".

The rapture V
80x100 cms. Acrylic on canvas.

"The sky burns, and I with it. And all with him. Dust and smoke gets into my mouth, into my eyes. It tastes like bad decisions and coherence. I realize that I am the one who detaches it. I don't know what to feel".

The rapture VI
80x100 cms. Acrylic on canvas.

"I only hear cries asking for help, asking to disappear, asking to put an end to this that we don't build , that I don't know if we built it… I realize that I am the one who screams. That I am the one who begs now. I do not know what to ask for".

The rapture VII

(NOT AVAILABLE)

"The void. I am aware that nothing is coming. Not making decisions calms me down, always has. At last I am free. Although deep down he knew that sooner or later, all this would end like this. I know I was never one of the just. I know now. Deep down, we all know it".
