This is part of a bigger picture which itself is part of a tryptych polyptych by van Eyck



This dates from 1432 and is in Ghent. The mystical nature of the Eucharist as being a way in we IN time, participate in an event which is in the past in our timeline and yet ETERNAL for God is one that dates back

So now a painting, conceived and executed by a medieval painter is explaining “out of time”? A painting which is rather like a collage of ideas?

“This dates from 1432 and is in Ghent. The mystical nature of the Eucharist as being a way in we IN time, participate in an event which is in the past in our timeline and yet ETERNAL for God is one that dates back”

What sort of ‘mumbo jumbo’ is this? Christ says, “It is finished”, God says, “Not so fast! Stay right there eternally and suffer for man’s sin”?

What “mystical nature”? What’s the mystery and where do the Scriptures call it such?
