The Torn Prophecy

Product
Image ID

Description
A hooded, bearded man grips an aged parchment in both hands and tears it apart with a satisfied, secretive expression. The broken document becomes the central symbol: a sacred message rejected, a warning despised, and a prophetic word treated with contempt. The subject strongly evokes Jeremiah 36, where the written words of the prophet were cut apart and destroyed instead of received with repentance. In that account, human defiance attempts to silence divine truth, yet the word of the Lord is preserved and spoken again. This artwork serves sermon, Bible study, and teaching themes on rejected prophecy, hardened hearts, spiritual rebellion, and the futility of trying to destroy God’s message.

Jeremiah 36

20 So they went into the court to the king, having put the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the secretary, and they reported all the words to the king. 21 Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the secretary. And Jehudi read it to the king and all the officials who stood beside the king. 22 It was the ninth month, and the king was sitting in the winter house, and there was a fire burning in the fire pot before him. 23 As Jehudi read three or four columns, the king would cut them off with a knife and throw them into the fire in the fire pot, until the entire scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the fire pot. 24 Yet neither the king nor any of his servants who heard all these words was afraid, nor did they tear their garments.

Jeremiah 36

27 Now after the king had burned the scroll with the words that Baruch wrote at Jeremiah's dictation, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: 28 “Take another scroll and write on it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned.
