Whitney Houston whose nick name is Nippy died a Hollywood star. It bothered some people that they had seen an Egyptian statue after her death at the private family viewing online. Don't let that bother you because that is not what Nippy was about. Nippy belonged to The New Hope Baptist Church in Newark New Jersey. She sung in the choir there and Whitney's mother Cissy Houston is also a lifelong active member of the congregation, and serves on the Deaconess Board. Whitney Houston (Nippy) never stopped visiting churches when she was alive and would sing. I've seen a rare footage of Whitney singing at Bishop Dr. Fred Jerkin's Evangelical Fellowship Church in Pleasantville, NJ in 1998. I'm sure Hollywood has it's own ideas away from church.
The Symbolism
Nippy has been known to help some people in Hollywood. She sounded like someone who would protect you and help you if she could. In the art above, I made Nippy a warrior with a weapon because I knew she was battling in spiritual warfare.
Ephesians 6:11 - Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
If Nippy had not been a Christian, we might not would have ever noticed her spiritual warfare. She was in a real battle. If you have been reading your Bible, you know the story of Job and Satan. You know how Peter denied Jesus (Luke 22:31-32). You know about Paul and how a thorn was given to him in the flesh (2 Corinthians 12:7). I believe the Shepard boy known as King David was in the battle too.
The Mummy on the shoulder of Nippy means nothing but death. Sometimes men think they have murdered and buried the dead, but some men are not dead in Christ. They will have new bodies anyway. So why preserved the body like the Egyptians do? In the art, you see Nippy alive, and she wears the mummy to open the minds of men to make them think about what death and life really are.
Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
Matt. 10:28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
In the first bottom fold of Nippy's headband and helmet is written her nick name Nippy. The helmet represents rank. If Nippy (Whitney Houston) gets to heaven, she'll have a new name.
Rev. 2:17 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit said to the churches; To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knows saving he that receives it.
