Norbert Kox came to visit me in February and we had no particular plan in mind to paint anything together. I had promised Norbert that I would paint with him some long before he came and I really forgot but he reminded me. We discussed what we should paint and I had this 7 x 9 1/2 feet canvas already painted with background of solid black. Each of us painted what we were best at and in my case it was the beast of Revelation that I paint so much of. Norbert is good at Antichrist so we began with the most common scene where Mother Mary is misused by the Catholic Church of picturing her ‘standing on the moon’, clothed in the sun with the stars in her crown that represent the 12 tribes of Israel. Soon we had a plan that began to develop and continued throughout two weeks. Most all the ills of the church are addressed in this painting including Protestant idolarty so awfully prevalent. My wife cut out the paper dolls for a pattern to stream through the skeleton hands of Mary the idol which addresses the awful disgrace of the abortion mills industry. I believe in the living Christ as Lord of life providing ever breath we breathe and all activity.
At last the painting was finished and we both signed it trusting God to use it as a strong revelation of the fallen church occupying the earth. At least 13 deadly sins are named on gravestones on Mary's blue robe of traditional color used by a Roman world, Catholicism.
Finally, the painting is forbidden in my own home because it is misunderstood in its real purpose. My prayer is that this will awaken the church to see its complacency. It is my opinion that the present church is not worth saving certainly that is true for Catholicism.
Today we have one universal church under the World Council of Churches, named the ecumenical movement and there is absolutely no wrong done in this Satanic movement.
There is no way that God would mix right and wrong altogether and that is why the scripture is written "Straight is the gate and narrow it the way, few there be that find it”.
My life is dedicated to obedience to paint my conscious as a ministry through visual Art.
It is not easy to come against tradition and denounce the doctrine of the Protestant church wherein I grew up. Since that day in July 1989 when I saw a vision to paint art with the coming Lord and the world on fire, I have obeyed my calling to find truth and define what I paint as the gospel truth. I have searched my soul laying before the Lord to find His will. I have prayed for understanding and God has given to me. While the real purpose in my life is to fulfill his purpose and be ready when he comes or calls. We are for sure living in the last days and the seventh day for the 1000 year millennium is upon us, the stage is set for Armageddon being world destruction using all the atomic force created to explode it.
The horses are riding all 200 million of them so vividly described in the Book Revelation.
The Antichrist is part of the Apocalypse, he has been in motion on earth for 1500 years.
I have painted the entire book of Revelation and I write a daily journal to explain it all the best I can. We are seeing the beginning of the end in world events such as the trade 911.
We have fallen from grace, the abortion issue alone we will face in duetime the judgment.
Much of my Revelation Apocalypse art is on my website www.thompson-art.com and art-church.com. Now I have a new site artoutsider.com which carries my journals for 2002 and 2003. My recent site is dedicated to Apocalyptic art only for the most part. I am inclined to paint and write about Biblical health also as a part of the great Commission.
I am an outsider untrained visionary artist with a message that is not always understood.
People want to see happy art and there is happy messages in Revelation art. I only pray that people will understand the message entirely and not prejudge it from first site only.
