This is one of my earliest works & was created as an illustration for a Bible course. It has, of course, sold. The message is still relevant to us today. The Lion is a representative of the Lion of Judah known as the future Messiah. The temple is His Holy court. The brilliant rays are the light of the Shekinah (or the visible manifest presence of The Holy One...God). 

As Believers we recognize Jesus as our "Covenant" between the Old and the New Testaments. Hebrews 8:6 says that "He is the mediator of a better covenant that was established on better promises." In verse 10, it says, "This is the covenant that I will make with Israel after those days....I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts..." The 10 laws written on stone (actually 613) are now softened with Grace and Love. It is with this thought in mind that I present "The Covenant King."
