Theme: Insights: Imagery "The adage 'a picture is worth a thousand words' refers to the idea that complex stories can be described with just a single image".1 The last book of the Bible, Revelation, is a series of powerful images summing up the entire story of salvation. In the opening chapters a door is opened in Heaven and there before the Throne is a lamb looking as slain. (Revelation 5:6) He alone is able to take the scroll and break the seals.2 He is identified as the Lion of Judah, the Root of David. Toward the end of the Book, Heaven is opened once more and this time the image is of a white horse and its rider who comes to judge and make war in pure righteousness. (Revelation19:11) All of these images - lamb, lion and rider on a white horse - are images of Jesus Christ, the living one who was dead, and behold is alive forever more. (Revelation 1:18) The early church put these images - sacrificial lamb, risen king and rider on a white horse - into simple statements of faith, ones that could be remembered through dark and perilous times. Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ will come again.

So Lyn, this is for you, and thank you again for your donation. As I’ve already explored, all the evidence points to Robin Hood being a 14th century fictional character rather than a real historical figure. Most Robin Hood films situate the story in the 1190s, at a point when King Richard the Lionhearted is away on crusade. His brother Prince John is making trouble by governing England unjustly and demanding harsh taxation, which forces Robin Hood and his band out of outlaws into resistance against him. Usually, Richard arrives home and puts a stop to John’s hijinks right at the end of the film. But Ridley Scott’s film follows a very different story. It opens right at the end of Richard’s reign, in 1199. As the film’s prologue text tells us “King Richard the Lion Heart, bankrupt of wealth and glory, is plundering his way back to England after ten years on his crusade.
