Description
By no means am I attempting to go against the Bible. This is merely a sign of Terence's spirituality, and mine. I was inspired by the scene with the burning bush in The Prince of Egypt. That scene never fails to give me goosebumps, and the music is spectacular. I actually listened to that piece while I was working on this; it helped set the right mood. The bush didn't turn out quite the way I'd have liked it, but the fire brushes make up for it. As for Terence going barefoot in this, well, the Lord did tell Moses to take his shoes off, "for the place on which you stand is holy ground".No critiques, if you please. And no flames, either. (No pun intended.)

•Exodus 3:2-15
And the angel of YHWH appeared unto him in a flame of fire
out of the midst of a bush:
and he looked, and, behold,
the bush burned with fire,
and the bush was not consumed.
And Moses said,
I will now turn aside,
and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
And when YHWH saw that he turned aside to see,
Elohim called unto him out of the midst of the bush,
and said, Moses, Moses.
And he said, Here am I.
And he said,
Draw not nigh hither:
put off thy shoes from off thy feet,
for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
Moreover he said,
I am the Elohim of thy father,
the Elohim of Abraham,
the Elohim of Isaac,
and the Elohim of Jacob.
And Moses hid his face;
for he was afraid to look upon Elohim.
And YHWH said,
I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt,
and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters;
for I know their sorrows;
And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians,
and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large,
unto a land flowing with milk and honey;
unto the place of the Canaanites,
and the Hittites,
and the Amorites and the Perizzites,
and the Hivites,
and the Jebusites.
Now therefore, behold,
the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me:
and I have also seen the oppression
wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
Come now therefore,
and I will send thee unto Pharaoh,
that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
And Moses said unto Elohim,
Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh,
and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
And he said, Certainly I will be with thee;
and this shall be a token unto thee,
that I have sent thee:
When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt,
ye shall serve Elohim upon this mountain.
And Moses said unto Elohim,
Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel,
and shall say unto them,
The Elohim of your fathers hath sent me unto you;
and they shall say to me,
What is his name?
what shall I say unto them?
And Elohim said unto Moses,
I AM THAT I AM: and he said,
Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel,
I AM hath sent me unto you.
And Elohim said moreover unto Moses,
Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel,
YHWH Elohim of your fathers,
the Elohim of Abraham,
the Elohim of Isaac,
and the Elohim of Jacob,
hath sent me unto you:
this is my name for ever,
and this is my memorial unto all generations.

I loved the Prince of Egypt so much and I know it was from Dreamworks too right now i'm drawing an picture involing the song and sceane from the movie.

That movie's had a tremendous impact on me.

I know even for me my favorite songs from the film have to be "Let my people go" and "When you belive".
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That song is called "The Plagues". And I love "When You Believe"; it's the crown jewel of all the songs.

Oh thats the real title to that but yeah "The Prince of Egypt" was my top fav.

We need more movies like that.

Yeah maybe in the future you and I might make our own along with others.

I would love to see the life of Jesus animated in that style. I mean, if they took that much care for the story of Moses...

Yeah that is a good question why didn't they?

This kind of interesting, because the Nostalgia Critic did a video about Prince of Egypt this week, in which he compared it to the Charlton Heston Ten Commandments movie. It's probably one of the most serious videos Doug Walker made as the character, and he also called it one of the top eleven underrated nostalgic classics.
Check the video out. [link]

I wish he'd tone down his language a bit (especially since he's talking about Biblical movies), but that's very interesting.

Well, he's a web comedian, so he's entitled to speak however he wants, but if that was the only barrier you had to really enjoying the video, that's a good sign. Of course, that could be an obstacle to enjoying most of the site, since a lot of the videos by most of the talents there are practicing the freedom of speech only possible on the internet. I'm pretty sure the only reviewer on the site who actively avoids using coarse language is Linkara, the comic book reviewer.

Yeah, but I just don't like swearing, period. There's no need for words like that, is there?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, different people have different tolerance levels for these sorts of things. There are times, in media at least, when swears are acceptable: if it's for historical accuracy, like with Band of Brothers; sometimes the level of language can determine whether a character is good or bad; I don't mind if cursing comes up when extreme rage about something is being expressed. I do think there are some things that don't need adult language, but that's usually only reserved for people just being profane for profanity's sake. To paraphrase Supreme Court Justice Robert Holmes, I can't define unnecessary profanity, but I know it when I see or hear it.

Still, I personally feel there are better words to use. You wouldn't say that stuff if God Himself was in the room, would you?

If a supremely omnipotent deity was in the same room as me, I'd probably be too busy gibbering in fear to think about my language.

My motto is: watch what comes out of your mouth, as much as what goes into it.

Of course, I have a habit of eating the unpopped kernels in a bag of popcorn, so I have a bit of a sailor's mouth. I usually reserve it for people who legitimize the Greater Internet F***wad Theory.

Even so, I'd appreciate it if everybody would tone down their vocabulary, at least around me.

Awesome! I've watched the prince of Egypt. But I also watched another movie. Isn't the fire supposed to be blue? XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In the movie, it was, but then it switched to orange and gold. They didn't say what color the fire was in the Bible; they just said it was a fire that didn't consume the bush.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh XD good point.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Whatever color it was, it was definitely heavenly fire.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah! Only god can do such things for us <3

Only God could have a bush burning without smoldering into ashes.

I love drawing this kind of stuff.

Very nice job, and the shading is fantastic, as is the fire!
(But to be honest, I've never seen the Prince of Egypt. Guess I'm missing out?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You should give it a watch; it's super-awesome!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cool. I definitely will!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And for the most part, it's faithful to the Bible story. Sure, they altered some parts here and there, but it's not too bad.
