Angel Angels Asleep Biblical Dream Dreaming Earth Genesis Heaven Jacob Patriarch Sleep Sleeping Staircase Stairs Testament Vision
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century engraving depicts the biblical account of Jacob's Dream, as described in the Book of Genesis. In this powerful image, Jacob, the patriarch of the Israelites, is shown lying on the ground, deep in slumber. Above him, a magnificent staircase reaches up to the heavens, where angels ascend and descend. Jacob's Dream is a pivotal moment in the Old Testament, marking the beginning of a series of revelations that would forever change the course of Jacob's life. As he slept, the Lord appeared to him in a vision, promising him a land, a family, and a future filled with blessings. The dream is a vivid representation of the connection between the earthly and the divine, with the staircase acting as a bridge between the two realms. The angels, with their outstretched wings and radiant halos, symbolize the divine presence and the promise of God's protection and guidance. This engraving, with its intricate details and rich symbolism, offers a glimpse into the religious and artistic sensibilities of the 19th century. It invites us to reflect on the power of dreams and the profound impact they can have on our lives, as well as the enduring belief in the presence of the divine in our world.
