The
pulpit fall illustrates, in the main image, the Pentecostal fire
and wind and the flames branching out to each disciple. The Holy
Spirit descends as a dove. The images in the lower section refer
to "speaking with tongues" and are references to the subject
of the gift made in secret languages or "tongues". The
four "M's" refer to the initials of the dedicatee and
to the Millennium year during which the work was created.
The
lectern fall continues the theme of the Pentecost and illustrates
the passage concerning (from the left) young men seeing visions
(the eye at the left) and old men dreaming dreams (second subject)
the sun turning black and the moon turning red as blood (right).
These images are interspersed with blood, fire and smoke.
