    Will you scan this?--by request! Request from researcher: Atlantis, I am not sure how to embed pictures in my posts so will you scan these two pages for me? How can blood save your life, page-7, and then scroll down and look for the same picture at this link: http://www.portlandbible.com/en/images/RansomAndRest.htm What I am trying to figure out is, who took the same picture from who? I couldn't find a date in the PABS brochure. *************************************************************** My comments: Sure, I will be happy to do that for you!

    The trials of the Church and of the world are different.

    Arena.jpg (3015 bytes)

    One difference between the experiences of the world under trial and the experiences of the Church during her trial will be that the obedient of the world will begin at once to receive the blessings of restitution by a gradual removal of their weaknesses--mental and physical; whereas the Gospel Church, consecrated to the Lord's service even unto death, goes down into death and gets her perfection instantaneously in the first resurrection.

    Another difference between the two trials is in the more favorable surroundings of the next age as compared with this, in that then society, government, etc., will be favorable to righteousness, rewarding faith and obedience, and punishing sin; whereas now, under the prince of this world, the Church's trial is under circumstances unfavorable to righteousness, faith, etc. But this, we have seen, is to be compensated for in the prize of the glory and honor of the divine nature offered to the Church, in addition to the gift of everlasting life.

    Does anyone else see an odd piece of jewelry in the bottom left corner?

    The lady with the turban is wearing a very odd looking thing hanging off her collar.

    There is something small at the tip. It appears to have a diamond shape.

    Atlantis, can you verify that this is indeed from Awake! and if it's possible to enlarge to see this?

    Thank you

    Thank you Atlantis!

    I do not know the date or the publication.

    I am not sure if it's from a mag or book.

    All I know is it's entitled "great crowd ascending"

    I am hoping maybe someone will recognize it and give us the information.

    It took me forever to find this, but I remembered that this picture had been discussed before.

    from above link:

    Alleymom,

    That is the picture from page 7 of the "How Can Blood Save Your Life" brochure - it was done in 1883 by an artist named Gerome... not a Watchtower Society artist. However, they did decide to use it in their brochure.... The subtitle beside the picture says "Whatever the consequences, the early Christians refused to violate God's law on blood".

    So the answer for who borrowed the picture from who? They both borrowed it.

    My comments:

    I agree with you kwintestal because at the bottom of that picture is the name of the "art gallery" it came from!

    Tula:

    I have searched those "key words" you listed and still nothing has surfaced. I will keep looking in my spare time though!

    The picture of the Christians facing the lions in the Roman Coliseum was one of the slides of the Photo Drama of Creation. It can be seen on page 76 of the printed version (1914). For those who don't have one, a scanned PDF of it can be downloaded from this site:

    http://www.filesend.net/download.php?f=eda31f32e661ae2c8d525dcc21242b23

    Later reproductions are available online at many sites. I don't know if the picture used in the Photo Drama was original to that production or copied from another source.
