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
These hanging pots on an apartment balcony near Griggs Park, perceived differently, serve as a reminder that the eyes of the Creator are upon us.

Revelation celebrates the Lord’s sovereignty and God as Maker is reinforced by the new heaven and new earth and references to some Genesis imagery. Brookline, MA.
