Graphic Bible · Scene 20 of 23

Myriads before the fire. New14:22. Wide oblique view of an immense distant gathering suggested by many small ivory-veiled silhouettes receding into innumerable soft points of light, well BACK from a great blaze and central occluded white radiance. The gathering interprets myriads upon myriads, not a counted census. Nobody crosses the fire boundary; no God, body, face, physical counselor, standing Enoch, throne occupant, diagrams or numbering. Deep amber with pale ivory scale cues, broad negative space.
Artwork is an interpretation. Scripture is quoted from the People's Open Bible.

22Burning fire was around him, and a great fire stood before him. None of those around him could approach him; myriads upon myriads were before him, yet he himself desired no counsel.
