I've been gradually replacing my Jehovah's Witness library. I use the books for research, as I'm writing religious horror based on JW beliefs. I lent my books to a prof over twenty years ago and he never returned them.

Here are some of my favourite illustrations from "Revelation Its Grand Climax at Hand!"

I don't know why Trump's getting zinged for posting an image of himself as Jesus on his social media app, do U?
But in the meantime some rascal has already done a parody version:

Das Innere der Alexander-Newski-Kathedrale in Sofia fasziniert durch seine üppige neobyzantinische Ausstattung, die über fünf Kirchenschiffe verteilt ist. Wände und Kuppeln sind mit Fresken und Ikonen bedeckt. Die prächtige Ikonostase aus aufwendig geschnitztem Holz mit Blattgold trennt das Heiligtum vom Hauptschiff und bildet das visuelle Herz des Raums.

In den Arkaden des Rila-Klosters erzählen die Fresken ganze Weltbilder aus Farbe und Bewegung. Szenen aus Himmel, Hölle und Alltag liegen dicht nebeneinander, gemalt mit unglaublicher Detailfreude. Die kräftigen Pigmente stammen aus dem 19. Jhd und leuchten trotz der Jahre überraschend frisch. Mein Blick schweift, bleibt hängen, versucht das Übermaß an Leben zu fassen.

It is no coincidence that the mandorla — the almond-shaped halo around Christ or the Virgin Mary — mirrors the vulva’s form. Named after the Italian for “almond,” it symbolises the threshold between worlds, the sacred gateway through which divine light and incarnation enter the human realm.
