Thangka Project 2

A couple weeks ago I introduced the Hope Project as prepared for Tibetan peoples. Today we'll take a look at the second one in the series.  This thangka takes people through the stories of the Old Testament.  The stories depicted here build a foundation of the need for a savior and the concept of a spotless sacrifice being required to pay for sin.  Stories covered on this thangka are Noah, the Tower of Babel, Abraham, Joseph, and Moses.  We also see the temple as a place where sacrifices took place to pay for sins.  In the bottom corner we see our friendly nomad wondering when the promised deliverer will come.
