Stand Therefore
Death holds up the hourglass. The rider does not look at it.
“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
Ephesians 6:11 · King James Version, quoted verbatim
The Scene
Dürer's knight has been read for five centuries as the Christian soldier on the road. Death rides up beside him with an hourglass; the devil trails at his back; the way down the ravine is narrow and the castle on the ridge is a long way off.
He does not fight either of them. He does not argue. He rides past. Paul's word to the Ephesians is not charge — it is stand. Put the armour on and hold the ground you were given. Everything in the frame is built to move him, and he is not moving.
