Japan - Sun Rise, Son Rise (日出东瀛)

The Lord inspired me to do a prophetic painting for Japan, and He asked me what came to my mind when I thought of Japan? I immediately thought of sashimi, meaning raw fish.. The Lord inspired me to paint some fish swimming towards the sun in a sea with roaring waves. In the article about China, we learned that the Lord is the sun and the shield. In the gospel, Jesus said to his disciples that He would make them fisherman of men. This means his disciples will draw lost people (fish) to the Lord. Tamilla says that the 311 tsunami in Fukushima and the 2008 financial tsunami can actually cause the fish to turn to God. So they are no longer tossed back and forth by the waves. People do not usually turn to the Lord when the sun is shining in a blue sky. They only turn to the Lord in a crisis. May more fish turn to God and cry out to Him during our current economic crisis.

Ephesians 4:14-16

¹⁴ Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. ¹⁵ Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. ¹⁶ From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

日出东瀛

主给我对日本有感动，我便画了一幅先知性的画。衪问我想到日本时有什么联想。我立即想到鱼生。主给我灵感画一些鱼在怒海游向太阳。在另外一幅画「中国展翅朝阳」中，我们学到神是日头，盾牌。耶稣对们徒说他们会得人如得鱼。主的意思是门徒会带领很多人信主。谭美说也许很多日本人会因为311福岛海啸和2008金融海啸而信主。人们是不会在风平浪静是归向主的。他们只会在苦难中向主哀救。愿多些人在世界经济大萧条中寻求主。

以 弗 所 書 4:14-16

¹⁴ 使 我 们 不 再 作 小 孩 子 ， 中 了 人 的 诡 计 和 欺 骗 的 法 术 ， 被 一 切 异 教 之 风 摇 动 ， 飘 来 飘 去， 就 随 从 各 样 的 异 端 ；

 ¹⁵ 惟 用 爱 心 说 诚实 话 ， 凡 事 长 进 ， 连 於 元 首 基 督 ，

 ¹⁶ 全 身 都 靠 他 联络 得 合 式 ， 百 节 各 按 各 职 ， 照 着 各 体 的 功 用 彼 此 相 助 ， 便 叫 身 体 渐 渐 增 长 ， 在 爱 中 建 立 自 己。
