The man in the shirt is a man who used to be a low-life. People who the Pharisees would have had an issue with Jesus eating with (Matt 9:11). He is as the harlots and tax collectors who came to Christ (Matt 21:31). He has the Hebrew word for “Soldier” on his hat, depicting his current occupation in the Lord and the admonition that comes with it (2 Tim 2:3-5). Although a soldier he is not bloodthirsty or vengeful, but peaceful. His shirt is therefore that of the uniformed. He wears his Faith on his sleeve, and bears his cross (Matt 16:24).. Even though he came from sin, he no longer lives in it (Rom 6:2), and those he encounters know he is different (1 Pet 3:15). The word of God is ever before him (Psa 16:8), its quick (Heb 4:12), and it’s a word spoken in love (Eph 4:15), from a God of love (1 Jn 4:7). The top left shows gears, depicting the inner workings of Faith (Heb 4:2). And the top right shows the “watchers”. It depicts the angelic order, and those who have seen everything that God has done, is doing, and will do. There is more going on behind the scenes than we know (Heb 12:22). John saw visions like this when he saw the four living creatures with six wings “FULL OF EYES.”(Rev 4:8). The Hebrew phrase in the top left means “Time to believe.” Now is the time of the good fight of Faith (Rom 13:11-13, 1 Tim 6:12), a time that is shortly drawing to a close, as the clock on the bottom right is in the last minute of the last hour (1 Jn 2:18). Knowing that a crown of righteousness is laid up for us (2 Tim 4:8), a crown that is only obtained by perfecting holiness in the fear of God (2 Cor 7:1), yet, even now are we Kings and Priests, as we serve the Lord. We are a “royal priesthood” (1 Peter 2:9).
This is all is meant to encourage the soldier of the lord to fight a good fight , and lay hold onto eternal life. (1 Tim 6:12).
