Logos- the Word of God Erebos- darkness, gloom

i don't remember where i heard this analogy, but it really stuck with me. you can't stay on the fence of belief/ unbelief forever, because the devil owns the fence. he owns all the religions of the world, except for the only faith that can save you: faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. the Son of God came down, lived a sinless life, took our sins upon Himself in death, and resurrected so we might have life too. because He LOVES us.

the truth is, you don't know when the end of your life will be. when you come to stand before the Just and Righteous Judge, will you be covered by Jesus' perfect blood, shielding you from punishment? or will you still have all your sins covering you because you rejected Him?

i don't write this to condemn, but because i love you and want you to have an eternity of joy and peace. so i warn you with love: Jesus is returning soon, to take His people away before God's Wrath and judgement begins (Revelation 3:10, 1 Thessalonians 5:9).

signs in the sun, moon, and stars. wars and rumors of wars, people's love for each other turning to hate. the increased intensity of natural disasters and strange behavior of animals. every other week some expert talks of world distinction events in our future (AI, or famine, or disease, or WWIII). God has sent dreams and visions to all people about the times about to happen. you can feel there's something weird about the world right now. God is speaking loudly.

now is the time to repent, accept the sacrifice for your sins and put your faith in Him. now is the time to step into the Kingdom of Life that will never pass away 💙✝ "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life (...) There is no judgment against anyone who believes in Him. But anyone who does not believe in Him has been judged already, for not believing in God's one and only Son." (John 3:16, 18)

transcript:

Helel: What did they say that gripped your attention so much?

Girl: Prince Helel. She was just telling me about life in the Logos Kingdom compared to the Erebos Kingdom. I haven't really decided where I want to live yet.

Helel: Pffeh, I can assure you, she greatly exaggerate. I've been to the Logos Kingdom. Those people are practically in chains and they don't even realize.

Girl: ..But you rule the Erebos Kingdom. Doesn't that make you a little bias? Either way, I'd still like to decide for myself.

Helel: Of course, of course! Take all the time you want. We'd love to have you!

(years pass)

Girl: Helel, what's happening?!

Helel: That, my dear, is a curtain call.

Girl: I don't understand-

Helel: It's time you came with me.

Girl: Wait-! But I never picked a kingdom! I'm still on the fence-

Helel: Oh, I'm terribly sorry for the confusion! You see, I OWN the fence!

Girl: No! Get off me! I thought I had more time! Stop-!

Girl: King Yeshua!!

Helel: No, sshe'sss mine! Sshe waited too long-

Yeshua: (Release her. Serpent.)

Helel: (Fine. But they won't all want sssaving~)

Girl: Thankyou, thankyou, he almost had me! If You didn't... I'm so sorry. Please don't send me back to him-

Yeshua: I came to you when you called, didn't I? You made your decision. And I'm so Glad! Allow Me to welcome you home, Dear One.

Just genuinely curious, do you still believe the end times are soon? I see Christians always thinking the eclipse or something is going to start it and I'm curious why??

Also I love your GO art <3

Much love!

hey, thanks for enjoying my art! ^-^ yeah, i definitely believe we’re in the end times right now. i didn’t think the eclipse was gonna be the “Kick Off” moment, but i was watching it for a number of reasons.

in Genesis 1:14, God says He created the sun, moon, and stars to be “signs and seasons”, so that’s why Christians watch what’s going on in the sky (astronomy, not astrology).

in 2017, the US had a solar eclipse that drew a line across the country. it went through a bunch of cities named Salem (after “Jerusalem” meaning peace/blessing). then 7 years later, we had this recent eclipse that drew another line that crossed over the first, creating an X. that line went through a bunch cities named Nineveh (like the story of Jonah, symbolically meaning judgement). the period of God’s Final Judgment in the end times is 7 years.. so IF that were to kick off this year, it would be like God was saying “7 years of blessing, 7 years of judgment.” He did the same thing in the story of Joseph. Pharaoh had two dreams of the future of his country: 7 years of blessing and 7 years of famine.

there were other things about it, but over all, it was a pretty interesting sign! the reason we Christians are watching is because we’re waiting on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to come get us before that judgment happens. God will judge the whole earth for its sins, but our sins have already been paid by the blood of Jesus. so we’re looking to our Blesses Hope; getting to go home to be with the Lord. and we’ve been warning people because we see the danger coming and we want everyone to be saved and rescued too 😊💙✝️

"For God has not appointed us (for His) wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we're alive or dead, we (shall) live together with Him." (1 Thessalonians 5:9-10)

Happy Resurrection Day! 🕊 "Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and He raised from the dead on the third day." (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)

"He was despised and rejected- a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief (..) Yet it was our weaknesses He carried; it was our sorrows that weighed Him down.

But He was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be made whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.

He had done no wrong (..) Yet when His life is made an offering for sin, He will have many descendants. He will enjoy a long life (and) when He sees all that was accomplished by His anguish, He will be satisfied (..) 'My righteous Servant will make it possible for many to be counted righteous, for He will bear all their sins.' " (Isaiah 53, various)

Luke 15:7, "There is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who were righteous and haven't strayed away!"

i was thinking about this verse recently and wondering.. how different it would be if people could see just how important they are to God. so important in fact that the Creator of the universe, an everlasting Being, came down Himself to experience death to set us free from Death. if you were the only human needing redemption, He would have gone through it all just for you.

it's up to you to accept or reject this payment on your behalf. there's no way to pay it yourself, you can never be "good enough" to make it to Heaven. He took on your punishment for you and only His sacrifice absolves you from it. if you reject Him, He will honor that decision, and you'll spend eternity separated from Him and all joy, light, and happiness. not because He's cruel, but because all good things stem from the Lord. there is no life without Jesus Christ.

the experience of the man in this comic is actually based on many testimonies i've listened to. people cried out to Jesus, and either saw or felt His love and were changed. don't wait! you have the entirety of Heaven cheering you on, longing for you to join our family. the hole in your heart can only be filled by the Holy Spirit's Presence. don't reject your opportunity to experience God's wonders forever, in a reality far greater than Earth could ever hope to be.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

Have you ever lost someone before? How did you deal with that?

Faith is.. rocky. I'm rediscovering it after a loss but it's a trust fall I just can't complete fully. How do I know there's an afterlife when I have no signs? How do you just trust?

i’ve dealt with lost, though not to the extent that some people have. but i know how crushing it is. Jesus is the only one that i can turn to for support with loss, and i say this with all seriousness. deep mourning is something that can’t be touched by the physical, and only He can bring comfort spiritually where there’s no comfort.

it’s not blind faith though. why do i believe in Heaven? because i believe what Jesus said and did.

He preached He was the Son of God and the only way to Heaven, He performed miracles, and He raised the dead. ancient historians confirmed He made these claims and miracles. He died on the cross for our sins, and the Romans confirmed His literal death. He was buried and on the third day His grave was empty, confirmed by his enemies the Pharisees. and He rose to life again and appeared to over 500 witnesses, including His apostles, who were brutally murdered for their accounts of this. you don’t die for a lie if you know it’s a lie, especially if you have nothing to gain.

He fulfilled over 300 prophecies of the Old Testament, that were written thousands of years before He was born (which is statistically should be impossible.) billions of people have testified to being radically and completely changed by faith in Him over the last 2000 years. and that’s barely scratching the surface of all the evidence God has left for us.

so when Jesus said, “There are many rooms in My Father’s house. If it were not so, would I have told you I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so you will always be with me where I am” (John 14:2-3), i believe Him. the only way to combat mourning is hope, and the Blessed Hope of eternal life with the Lord is a solid foundation to rest on.

“The Lord is close to the broken hearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.” (Psalm 34:18). “God blesses those who mourn for they will be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4) ✝️💙

SO i storyboarded this comic and drew the first page back in 2015, and then totally and completely forgot about it 😂 i remember around that time i was struggling to accept that chronic illness was my life and couldn't be ignored.

it was really cathartic to come back to finish this, both with improved skills, and improved mental health. i feel like God allowed me to forget about it, just so that He could gift it back to me now, as a reminder of our growth together.

"(The Lord) lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along." (Psalm 40:2)

having heightened empathy with sensitivity to others' emotions and pains can honestly feel like having the world on your shoulders. my ADHD makes it difficult to regulate my own emotions, and the weight of everyone else's struggles on top of my worn often feels impossible to deal with.

the only solution in these times, one that actually works, is turning to Jesus for help. He doesn't bring a distraction or a flimsy temporary lie. in fact, He usually doesn't change that circumstances at all. but i've lost track of how many times He's laid His peace on me when i called. i'm talking supernatural peace, "i have anxiety, why do i feel ok?" peace; where there's no reason to suddenly feel calmed and assured. like you can breathe again.

"I'm leaving you with a gift- peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid." (john 14:27)

only Jesus is capable of giving that. mental disorders and brain chemistry are nothing in the Face of the Creator God of the universe. especially the One that is eager and ready to take our burdens and put our minds at rest.

"Then Jesus said, 'Come to Me, all you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.' " (Matthew 11:28)

some more snippets of this universe as i plan a longer piece 🤔

i did NOT want to draw Rinzler's black suit anymore, so i figured Tron was due for another upgrade. i liked the idea that the color palette in the scene in Legacy would be his actual colors. that as he upgrades he continues to look more human (more on that later) 👍 (also, i've never watched Tron: Uprising, so any lore or backstory from the show won't be included here).

for those of you unfamiliar with Tron, "AlanOne" is the username of his creator.

transcript:

(Set after Connor meets Tron)

Markus: How'd it go? Did you find any helpful information?

Simon: Run into any bugs?

Connor: ..I.. found someone.

Markus: Found someone..

Simon: “Someone”?

Josh: We were just looking for files! Who's in there?

North: What'd I miss? Who are we fighting?!

(Set after the Bonus Page)

Hank: So how's that “program” friend of yours- what's his name again?

Connor: He goes by AlanOne.

Hank: Yeah, him.

Connor: He's.. he interests me. His code was written so long ago, and yet he seems both more and less deviant than we are.

Hanks: Thanks, that answers everything.

Connor: Nothing about him implies he's acting outside of his coding. But in some ways he's more organic than I was expecting. Was he created that way? Or did he break free before androids and deviancy were even concepts..? I'd like to ask him.

Hank: That sure sounds right up Kamski's alley. Not a suggestion by the way. That freak can rot his whole like for all I care, new CEO or not.

Sumo: BORF

Hank: You tell'm, Sumo.

Connor needs more friends and Tron lost/ destroyed all his friends, so i think they should be buddies 😤👌 they have a lot in common, they can bond over their shared trauma hahah

(the crossover came to me in November and then i shot myself in the foot by deciding to do traditional instead of digital 😂 ...and it hasn't left me alone, so there may be more still)

DBH/ Tron AU

transcript:

Connor: -nothing so far. It appears to be a library archive of ENCOM's back up files. Copies of layouts and simulations. But no location of the GRID server or current status.

Markus: Alright Connor, keep me posted. And be careful.

Connor: I will, Markus.

Connor: (A corrupted security file..? Why-)

Connor: --W A K E U P--

Connor: I'm sorry. Your updated matrix was corrupt, so I had to access your base code.

Tron: Are you a User?

Connor: My name is Connor, I'm th- I'm an android.. a detective with New Jericho.

Tron: My name is Tron. To what do I owe a super computer for the rescue?

Connor: New Jericho received an anonymous tip about the existence of ISOs in ENCOM's dormant system, and I recovered your security program during my search. Perhaps you'd be able to help me?

Tron: I cannot condone any program, or AI for that matter, actively working to harm the Users or ISOs.

Connor: That's not our intent, I promise you.

Tron: ...Very well. On one condition.

Connor: Yes?

Tron: ..I'm an old program, Connor. Would you tell me.. how the User world has changed?

Connor: (smiles)

(BONUS)

Tron: Connor! It's good to see you.

Connor: Hello, Tron.

Tron: How are you?

Connor: I'm well. I was telling my friend Hank about you and the date of your origin. And he said, “For pete's sake, kid, what'cha doin with all us old guys? Ya gotta get out more, get some sun.”

Tron: He sounds like he would have enjoyed one of MY User friends.

Connor: Maybe if he knew who you were, Hank would feel differently-

Tron: NO... no, I'd rather keep my anonymity. It's better that way..

"Can anything separate us from Christ's love? Does it mean He no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (-) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loves us.

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our fears about tomorrow- not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below- indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord." -Romans 8:35,37-39

i've been thinking about starting a series of little snapshots from movies, of scenes or quotes that remind me of scriptures.

Star Wars definitely has touches of mysticism and religions of that nature (i.e. a balance between light and darkness), but even as a kid watching the OG trilogy, i felt like the Biblical comparisons were important too. the Force is like the Holy Spirit, who (when accepted into our being) is an invisible guide, protector, and comforter. the Jedi's situation in the Prequels reminds me of the Pharisees from Jesus' day. they let their rules and traditions blind them into essentially working for the Sith. And most importantly, Luke's message that anyone is capable of returning to the light is incredibly Biblical. just as Anakin is redeemed after so many years of darkness, anyone can be redeemed by believing on Jesus as their redeemer, no matter what they've done.
