Are these the hands of God or the hands of man, made in His image? Are they hands of creation or destruction? The hands of creation can also be the hands of destruction. But whose hands are depicted in this painting, God’s or man’s? We think of God as the grand creator. But man, made in His image, has been given the power to create beauty or wreak havoc with his marvelous hands. So who has the authority (wisdom power) to destroy? Humankind has created an endless variety of methods and scenarios to bring about its own destruction. Will God one day destroy the earth or will man do it all on his own?
