The Revelation will be “Graphically Intensive”

One night a week, the Reverend Jack Van Impe appears on your TV to reveal that the news headlines read by his wife, Rexella, prove the imminent arrival of Christ Jesus. Citing endless bible verses from memory that forecast current events, he shows - with an air of irrefutable certainty - that the Anti-Christ will ascend from out of the European Union, Russia will attack Israel, and then in 2012 He will arrive . . . or something like that. Unlike the meth-fueled hypocrisy of Pastor Ted Haggard or the grinning condescension of Pat Robertson, the sincerity of Van Impe is beyond doubt.

His website has a gallery of paintings that imagine the Revelation, and they seem to come not from either a high art tradition of depicting key biblical scenes or a Hallmark "shimmering angels of light" style, but from van art of the '70s, as if William Blake airbrushed an old Econo-line . . . . (And those of you who have yet to get your comics this week should look at the current issue of Ghost Rider for art that looks a lot like these paintings. )
