Revelation 12
"VOICE INSIDE ME"
Beck West
Vocalist & Videographer
The seven candles representing the seven churches
in Revelation, "Voice Inside Me" is a reflection (through use of the "shadow") of the insidious
forms of lust within the church, including lust of power, gossip, slander- robbing the voice and innocence of the innocent within the church.

"SECOND COMING:
JACOB'S WELL"
A descent into the concept of the seductive power of the "Whore of Babylon"- the symbol for the corruption within the church- spiritual idolatry, alignment with political power, sexualization of the human form, and forsaking the new covenant of Christ and his mandate.
On "JACOB'S WELL" being the sacred meeting place of Jesus and the "SAMARITAN"- the acknowledgment of ancient semitic history.
The echo of the story of Adam and Eve, who became aware of their nakedness and hid from God- through the female body, illuminating the wound of this root of division and shame.
