1780s 1787 Angel Angels Bankes Bethel Biblical Dream Genesis Heavenly Jacob Ladder Testament Vision
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Thomas Bankes' Bible, published in 1787, and depicts Jacob's heavenly vision at Bethel as described in the Book of Genesis (28:12). In this Old Testament narrative, Jacob, on the run from his brother Esau, stops for the night at a place he names Bethel, where he experiences a profound and transformative dream. In his dream, Jacob sees a ladder or stairway reaching from the earth up to heaven, with angels of God ascending and descending upon it. This vision signifies the presence and promise of God, and Jacob awakens with a sense of awe and renewed faith. The 18th-century illustration by an unknown artist masterfully captures the otherworldly quality of the scene, with its ethereal angels, golden rays of light, and intricately patterned ladder. The serene expression on Jacob's face conveys the depth of his spiritual experience, making this print a beautiful and inspiring reminder of the divine connection that can be found even in the most unexpected places.
