content: This colored print is an outdoor scene of a group of well-dressed people who look, hide their faces, or run from a vision that appears in the sky. The vision includes Hebrew letters followed by the inscription "God, All-knowing, all-good, all-wise. He judges." The inspiration for this is taken from the writings of the prophet Habakkuk 2:2 – Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it.” In other words, let the teachings of Christ be so clearly described, that they may be easily understood at once.
