Blindness

Elisha stands at the doorway of a village home as an armed enemy company advances with spears, shields, and swords. Between the prophet and the soldiers, a radiant winged angel raises a hand of divine command, stopping the army in its path and casting blindness upon the attackers. A woman and children watch from the house, while the prophet remains steady with his staff, trusting the unseen power of God rather than the force of weapons.

The scene draws from 2 Kings 6, when the king of Syria sent troops to seize Elisha. At the prophet’s prayer, the Lord struck the hostile army with blindness, showing that God’s protection is greater than human strength. The image emphasizes spiritual authority, angelic defense, and the Lord’s deliverance of His servant in the face of danger.
