The products symbolize cleanliness, linked to purity, a concept in Revelation. The humor is the notion that a small supply of cleaning products [i.e., a small dose of purity] would be enough to remove demonic possession from the church, and it raises the question: why is a church infested? It's exorcism humor, and I'm not an exorcist. Brookline, MA. Sat. 2/17/24. 1/8s at f25 ISO3200 28mm
Certain spiritual moments stir fear nearing God. Instances: waking at Bethel from a dream with a stairway, or ladder, in it, "[Jacob] was afraid and said, ‘How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven’” (Gen. 28:17). In Rev. 1:17 John writes, “When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said, ‘Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.'" Brookline, MA. Sun. 1/28/24. 1/60s f5 ISO400 60mm
