Great art. Abstract enough to allow multiple readings, even with the biblical reference revealed.
Revelations, as well as some passages from Isaiah, provides some of the spookiest images of the vengeful/warrior god.
Your art represents it as static, but also as emerging from soem sort of crypt or tomb. The sword is possitioned so that it can also be read like an upside down cross on a coffin.
The transition from darkness to light apprears to be promissing, also the idea of a just iron ruler who will leave the evil doers spread all over for birds to "gorge on their flesh".
I can't help but reading in your art the ambivalence of such an ideal and the possibility that, like the character of your art, that just god is nothing but an empty cloak on a void wooden ride
