Holy Trinity Episcopal
Fayetteville, North Carolina
Immediately below the Cosmos is the Prophet who calls God's People to reform, renewal and regeneration. The figure is an iconic image personifying the spirit of all prophecy rather than an individual prophet. The Hebrew passages are from Isaiah. "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me . . . " (first two lines) recalls the Divine inspiration which moves the Prophet. "Make straight the way of the Lord" connects with the last Prophet, John the Baptist who "makes straight" the way of Christ who he announces. This leads directly to the incarnation of the prophecied Messiah at the Annunciation, which panel is immediately below the Prophet (photo not yet available).
