Adventures of Men and Angels # 1 Premiere Page 12
The halo or aura colors of our characters are hints to there particular expertise and personality. Perhaps we’ll be able to delve into that in a future story line. Primarily, as we said yesterday, it’s just an artistic indication of a supernatural character in the story which cannot be seen by human eyes when the halo or aura is present. This is not inconsistent of the use of halos in classic art dating back centuries we just have a different take on it. There is no mention of halos in the Bible.
That’s a good lead into the next point being: this art, like the art of the masters in antiquity through our modern age are works of the human imagination. Like parables often employed by Biblical writers and used heavily in Jesus teachings are meant to give the listener or reader an idea of eternal beings and concepts. That doesn’t mean everything in scripture is symbolic. Some things are literal and some figurative. The attempt to classify all things literal or all things figurative is in error as Jesus once said of such, “Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God.” ( Matthew 22:29) The characters in this book are fictional with heavy reference to the Biblical descriptions. But since it is a work of fiction artistic license does apply just as with fictional characters and tales of angels and demons used in books, art and media down through the ages.
