This illustration deals with Samson the twelfth judge of Israel. Samson name means "little sun" and he was born in the city of Zorah which was located between Dan and Judah.

His father was Manoah and his mother is unnamed; but the Scriptures inform us that she was barren, and so therefore she couldn't bear kids on her own.

Samson's mother was visited by an angel, who told her that although she was barren, she would conceive and bear herself a son.

This pre-birth angelic promise would place Samson's mother an elite group of women who themselves, also had a pre-birth angelic promise.

This group would included Sarah the mother of the great patriarch Isaac, Elisabeth the mother of John the Baptist, and Mary the mother of our blessed Saviour Jesus Christ.

Samson's mother was instructed not to drink wine nor strong drink and not to eat anything unclean. When it came to Samson, she was instructed not to cut his hair and was informed, that he would be a Nazarite from birth.

The angel's emphasis on Samson being a Nazarite would let Samson's mother know, that he must keep the vow of the Nazarites from day one. This vow dealt with Samson not being able to touch wine nor strong drink. It dealt with him not being able to cut his hair and he was not permitted to go near a dead body.

Samson was appointed judge while Israel was being oppressed by the Philistines and this oppression would last for forty years before Samson's appointment. After Samson was appointed judge, Israel would enjoy a twenty year period of peace while they were under his leadership. His account begins with the thirteenth chapter and runs through the sixteenth chapter from within the Book of Judges.

This illustration deals with Elisha who studied under the Master Prophet Elijah before he had succeeded him, after the Lord had taken Elijah up in a whirlwind and a chariot of fire.

Notice how I added "Master" to the title of Elijah? I've done this, for we must understand that Elijah was indeed the Master Prophet that was over at least three Prophet Academy Schools; which were located in Gilgal, Bethel and Jericho.

All the students, which included Elisha referred to him as "Master." On another note? It's very possible that these Prophet Academy's were originally founded by the prophet Samuel?

Now when it comes to Elisha; he was the son of Shaphat and came from the rich meadow-lands that was located four miles south of Beth-shean which was called Abel-meholah. Now although Elisha trained under Elijah, their ministry would be very different from each other?

For Elijah's ministry had a strong judgment and punishment feel to it, and so therefore his miracles and actions would be a reflection of that. When it came to Elisha's ministry, he had more of a mercy and grace approach, and so therefore his miracles and actions was a reflection of the two.

With the exception of Jesus and perhaps Moses, there wasn't a person that God used so mightily when it came to performing miracles. Because of this, Elisha would earn the title and reputation of being known as "The Miracle Prophet." This illustration deals with Elisha spending some meditation time with God in the fields along with a friend. The account of Elisha's ministry starts at (2 Kings 2:14)

This illustration deals with David before he took over the throne of Israel.

David had always been heroic and courageous even before he had taken on the Philistines champion -- The Mighty Goliath.

While Goliath had stood before the army of Israel and taunted them for forty days, it was clear that no one was willing to go out and face the Giant of Gath when it came to a one on one matchup? And why would they?

For we must understand that Goliath was a massive man, being that he had huge girth and stood close to ten feet tall.

It wouldn't be until David, the son of Jesse and the youngest of eight boys was bringing his brothers some food, for they served in Israel's army under the Israel king Saul -- that Goliath would receive the challenge that he had been daring the Israelites to make for the past forty days.

David at this point in his life had already been anointed to be the next Israel king after Saul. But until then, he would serve under Saul, and at this moment in time, he was serving as Saul's armor bearer and a musician in his court.

But David was brave and was very confident in himself, for he had prior to this moment had slewed a lion and a bear while tending to his father's flocks. So David went out with just a sling and five smooth stones and slewed the Mighty Goliath; while becoming a hero in the process.

David would go on and have a very celebrated military career while he served under Saul; and would later on, become the greatest King that Israel had ever known. This illustration is a young David enjoying the moment of just being appreciated and celebrated some time later on after he had slewed the Mighty Goliath. This account can be found at the seventeenth chapter within the book of 1 Samuel.

This illustration deals with the account of Deborah and Barak. Their story can be found in the Book of Judges, which is also known as -- The Judges Stage, if you were to look at this from a studying perspective.

The Judges Stage begins at the Book of Judges; and runs through the Book of Ruth; and includes the first seven chapters, when it comes to the Book of 1 Samuel.

From within this stage, you'll find the accounts that deal with fourteen to fifteen judges? Now don't get confused, for you must understand that the Book of Judges list only twelve official Israel judges.

I'll also like to point out, that the other two official Israel judges -- Eli and Samuel -- have their accounts listed separately in -- The Book of 1 Samuel.

Eli -- "When he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell backward off his chair by the side of the gate. His neck was broken and he died, for he was an old man and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years." (1 Samuel 4:18)

Samuel -- "Samuel continued as judge over Israel all the days of his life. From year to year he went on a circuit from Bethel to Gilgal to Mizpah, judging Israel in all those places. But he always went back to Ramah, where his home was, and there he also judged Israel. And he built an altar there to the Lord." (1 Samuel 7:15-17)

The reason why I mention a possible fifteenth judge? Deals with the fact, that some Bible teachers and leaders teach that Barak was himself -- a judge? But this viewpoint would be incorrect, for the Scriptures clearly state, that he helped and assisted Deborah when it came to the business of warfare. For he was the commander of her army and not a judge. Barak had led Deborah's army to victory against Sisera and his 900 iron chariots of Canaan.

The reason why Deborah needed to use him in this type of capacity, is for the mere fact -- that armies weren't considered intimidating, respected or feared if a woman were to lead them into battle.

Now, when it comes to Deborah, there's not much known about this extraordinary woman. But, what we do know, is that she was sweet in nature but sharp and courageous when it came to facing her opposition. She was a strong God fearing woman in mind and spirit that was wise and fearless in spite of the challenges she faced. Deborah was the only Israel judge that was a woman and one out of two that held the office of both judge and prophet. The other one was the prophet Samuel.

It's possible that the Israelites went to her not only for government and civil type matters, but also for spiritual ones as well. She was totally dedicated to Israel, as she held the positions as both prophet and judge... faithfully and diligently during one of the most oppressed times in Israel's history. The account of Deborah and Barak, can be found in the fourth and fifth chapters within the Book of Judges.

This illustration is based off the story of David & Goliath.

Goliath was a giant Philistine warrior that stood around ten feet tall. It was during a time when Israel was at war with the Philistines in the Valley of Elah.

Goliath was the warrior that the Philistines had used to intimidate and taunt the Israel army.

Because of his size, Saul the Israel king and his men were very afraid of him. This taunting and intimidation would carry on for forty days, before David comes on the scene.

At this point in his life, David was a young shepherd boy who entered into king Saul's service as an armor-bearer. This is a very powerful story, being that it teaches us that we shouldn't shy away from the challenges that we are to be faced with as life goes on -- and it doesn't matter if those challenges could be as big as Goliath was when he came into David's life. This account can be found in (1 Samuel 17:1-58)

This illustration is based off the story of Moses.

The burning bush would come into play after he had spent the last forty years in hiding, as a shepherd in Midian.

During his stay in Midian, he would marry a woman named Zipporah the daughter of Jethro. Moses had entered into this stage, after he had spent the first forty years of his life living as a prince in the Egyptian palace.

But he would have to flee from this point in his life, since he had accidentally killed an Egyptian that was beating on a Hebrew slave. You can find this account in (Exodus 3:1-10)

This illustration is based off the story that deals with the most powerful angel that was created by the hand of God.

First let me point out, that this was very daring on my part to have this illustration drawn up on Lucifer.

For his existence is doubted not only by the world, but also by some church leaders and Bible teachers as well. This is very interesting being that his existence is echoed and declared throughout the scriptures. He's been mentioned some seven times in the Old Testament and some nineteen times in the New Testament.

I for one, can't see how a person who studies the Word of God seriously, could ever doubt the existence of Lucifer (Satan). To ignore his account, is to ignore one of the most powerful testaments to just how priceless the human being really is.

Understand, that he was the most powerful and beautiful angel that was ever created and yet - he was jealous of us. So much so, he tried to rise up against the eternal kingdom. His foolish attempt to try to overthrow God, because of the tremendous value He poured into us -- caused him to lose his highly esteemed position from within eternity and to be cast away into eternal darkness.

The value and privileges that the Lord has bestowed on us, is so great - that it causes creatures in the spiritual realm to grow envious. To get a good idea on the position that Lucifer held, I would suggest you read (Ezekiel 12-19)

This illustration is based off the trinity concept when it comes to the Godhead.

Now this is another daring illustration that I had drawn up being that there are so many different views when it comes to this subject.

For me... as I see it, there is only one God and the trinity concept shows us the three different functions that He chooses to operate in when it comes to us the human being - Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.

Now I won't use this section of the website to get into the different opinions on the subject. Or Perhaps, I won't use any part of this site to do so either. For I know this subject has caused more division, than it has unity.

NOTE: Although the word 'Trinity' is not in the Bible, the fact that the scriptures at times - refers to God as if He was a plurality of persons - can't be denied. (Psalms 110:1 - is one good example - out of many)

Regardless of what our finite minds are capable of understanding when it comes to the infinite Almighty One. Bottom line is this -- God will still be God when we're all done with the useless arguing and debating sessions.

In the picture you have:

This illustration is based off the story of - Elijah the Fire Prophet

This would be the second page that I've had done up about this prophet.

The second illustration can be found further down this page.

This page deals with the scene in which Elijah is taken up into the heavens with the aid of a fire horse chariot and a whirlwind (wasn't enough room for the whirlwind - sorry).

This account can be found at - (2 Kings 2: 1-11)

This illustration is based off the story of - The Prophet Daniel

Daniel was a young (early teens perhaps) nobleman of Judah that was taken in the first deportation group during the 'captivity stage' of Jerusalem.

He has been noted and recognized as the author of the book of Daniel.

Although every book in the Bible is very important, the book of Daniel is extremely important when it comes to the book of Revelation.

Most would say that it would be hard to a have some sense of understanding when it comes to the book of Revelation, without first having a general understanding of the book of Daniel.

I had this picture done up as a light-hearted scene that's in reference to perhaps Daniel's most famous account - Daniel & the Lion Den - this record can be found in - (the sixth chapter of Daniel)

This illustration is based off the story of - Samson.

Samson would become Israel's twelfth and final Judge in which he served for twenty peaceful years.

He was a Nazirite who was born at the town called 'Zorah.'

Samson was perhaps the most famous of the fourteen Judges?

I would give him the nod over Gideon (Israel's fifth Judge) and the prophet Samuel (Israel's fourteenth Judge)

Although Samson had many accomplishments, he was known to have a weakness for beautiful women. The most famous account would be his downfall, that came by the hands of a woman named -- Delilah. (Judges 16:4-31)

This page deals with a light-hearted scene in which a young Samson is showing off in front of two pretty girls and is embarrassed when his mother catches him.

This illustration is based off the story 'Noah's Ark'

The raven was the first of two birds that Noah used to go out and see if the waters from the 'Great Flood' had completely receded. (Genesis 8: 6)

Within this illustration you will see that the Raven was sitting outside the Ark when all of a sudden he gets hit with a really big raindrop.

Needless to say, the raven did not like it. Just a fun perspective from the 'Noah's Ark Story', so the kids could have something nice to color.

This illustration is based off the person, our Saviour -- Jesus Christ

His story can be found within the four gospels (Matthew - Mark - Luke - John)

This illustration is mainly about a young lion cub and a kid (young goat). These two were having a headbutting contest, and the lion came up on the losing end.

A lesson learned for the lion, and of course Jesus is there to point it out. Just a fun creative idea, for the kids to color.

This illustration is based off the story 'Jacob & Esau'

Their story can be found and begins at (Genesis 25: 24)

This illustration is in reference to the birth of the two boys. They were twins and Esau was born first. Jacob was holding unto the heel of his foot when he was born right behind his brother.

This scene is just a light hearted look at them being a little bit older, and of course -- Jacob is still up to his old tricks. A fun creative idea for the kids to color.

This illustration is based off the story of 'The Prophet Elijah'

This story scene can be found at (2 Kings 2: 11-12)

This illustration is in reference to Elijah being taken up in a whirlwind along with fire horses and a fire horse chariot.

This illustration is an idea that I got from that scene, in which Elijah is hanging out in a field with a fire horse. Another fun creative idea for the kids to color.

This illustration is based off the story of 'Abraham'

This story scene can be found at (Genesis 22: 13)

This illustration is in reference to God giving Abraham another faith test. God had instructed his faithful servant to offer up his son Isaac.

Abraham was just about to do it, when God stopped him and provided a ram that was caught in a bush nearby as an offering instead. This illustration shows that ram, and he has a bad feeling. Another fun creative idea for the kids to color.

This illustration is based off the story 'Elisha & The Attacking She Bears' - which can be found at (2 Kings 2: 23-25)

Obviously these are playful cubs and not fierce attacking she bears in this coloring illustration.

A light hearted perspective on what happen that day, in which I thought would be a fun idea for the kids to color.

This illustration is based off the story that deals with a young Moses and his relationship with the Egyptian royal family.

Moses would spend the first forty years of his life in the Egyptian palace in which he was provided with the best education and rose to considerable power.

You would have to go to outside sources to find out more when it came to Moses early life.

(Josephus a renown Jewish Historian would be a great place to start)

As for the Bible - The story of Moses begins in (The Second Chapter - In the Book of Exodus)
