I finished reading a magazine about Jesus a few days ago which I bought with a bunch of other magazines on a road-trip in 2016 in the little New South Wales country town named Manilla -
Manilla, NSW
The magazines I bought in Manilla on the day |
I might hold onto the Jesus magazine as reference material, but it did nothing but reinforce my belief that the Jesus story is just a mishmash of old myths.
But I thought it was rather synchy that I had only just read in that Jesus magazine about the German artist Matthias Grรผnewald and his artwork of the Isenheim Altarpiece where Christ is depicted as a supernova when resurrected.
And then seeing all the news stories about the star Betelgeuse going supernova soon, hitting the media.
Plus, seeing a new sync video at the 'Sync Netz' blog was just released about the star going supernova in the near future.
"The Isenheim Altarpiece is an altarpiece sculpted and painted by, respectively, the Germans Nikolaus of Haguenau and Matthias Grรผnewald in 1512–1516.
It is on display at the Unterlinden Museum at Colmar, Alsace, in France.
The museum celebrated the 500th anniversary of the work in 2012.
It is Grรผnewald's largest work, and is regarded as his masterpiece.
It was painted for the Monastery of St. Anthony in Isenheim near Colmar, which specialized in hospital work.
The Antonine monks of the monastery were noted for their care of plague sufferers as well as their treatment of skin diseases, such as ergotism.
The image of the crucified Christ is pitted with plague-type sores, showing patients that Jesus understood and shared their afflictions.
The veracity of the work's depictions of medical conditions was unusual in the history of European art."
I guess who knows what's up ahead when it comes to the stars and supernovas?
Probably God, right?-)
