A. This painting is about the coming of the Lord on the seventh day, or, also the third day. Jesus was raised from the dead on the third day, but since the time of Christ we are in the third day or the third millennium. Since the time of Adam we refer to it as the seventh day. So, both days are synonymous.

1. Hosea 6:1-3 says, "Come, and let us return to the LORD; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight. Let us know, let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, like the latter and former rain to the earth.”

2. Luke 13:31-33 states, "On that very day some Pharisees came, saying to Him, "Get out and depart from here, for Herod wants to kill You.” And He said to them, "Go, tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.’ Nevertheless I must journey today, tomorrow, and the day following; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.”

B. The rain speaks of the Holy Spirit that is about to come to the Church, the latter rain of God’s Spirit.

1. Joel 2:23, "Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God; for He has given you the former rain faithfully, and He will cause the rain to come down for you—the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.”

C. The scripture of Zechariah 10:1 on the blue awning of the painting says:

1. "Ask the LORD for rain in the time of the latter rain. The LORD will make flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain, grass in the field for everyone.”

2. We live in a time that God’s rain will be poured upon the earth.

3. The RAINBOW signifies that all God’s promises in His Word will be fulfilled.

4. The left half of the picture depicts Italy, but the right half Greece. This is part of a three part series of God’s glory coming to the Mediterranean region.
 

II. Some of the sayings are in Italian because part of the scene is Italy.

A. Giorno Terzo Gloria means Third Day Glory.

B. Giorno di Settimo means Seventh Day.

III. Two people I knew passed away this year and their names are on the lamppost. One of those individuals was named Glorian. She was a grandma, part of the older generation. She had been overseas more than 60 times preaching the gospel, and had seen remarkable miracles every place that she went. I personally traveled with her overseas in ministry three times. She died on 7/1/07 and was buried on 7/7/07.

IV. Gloria was an 11 year old girl who had been fighting a form of cancer for four years. Gloria passed away on the Day of Atonement. On that particular day we had 7,000 people, from about 120 nations, in Seattle at the International Women’s Aglow Conference. God Told Elijah that he had 7,000 who had not bowed down to Baal. A prophetic number.

A. 120 nations signify the end of all flesh and a new life in the spirit.

1. There where 120 in the upper room.

2. Moses was 120 years old when the children of Israel entered the Promised Land.

3. God told Noah that he would not always strive with men but that there would be 120 years before the flood would come.

4. There where 120 priests blowing trumpets to dedicate the Temple of Solomon. (2 Chronicles 5:12)

5. 120,000 repented when Jonah preached at Nineveh.

B. In my heart God told me as I was painting this past October of 2007 that the rain was on the way. I am believing for more.

V. SUPERNATURAL JEWELS: This painting has over 100 gem stones from heaven that have shown up in meetings.

A. The fountain has over 100 diamonds and a pink stone.

B. There are more stones on the awnings of the buildings.

C. God is doing supernatural things in these last years. For the last five years I’ve been asking God to share the art of heaven with me that I might bring it into the earth, as taken from the Lord’s Prayer. "Our Father who does ART in heaven, hollowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” I was contending for the substance of heaven to come unto the earth to use in the art. God said, "Here it is, use it.” So, I did.
 

VI. HIDDEN SYMBOLS

A. There is an eagle in the sky.

B. Two symbols also showed up that the Lord put in. One is the face of Jesus in the upper right hand corner and a lamb below His face. I added the neck line of Jesus and the gown, but the two faces where already there.

My Mission and the Mike DeLorenzo Art Gallery is to inspire and to share the revelational aspect of art in God's coming Kingdom.

I am inspired to paint this art which gives insight into the heart and mind of our Lord and Savior.
