REVELATION
«Chapter 12»

And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

Beautiful imagery and iconography. Such art and craft/technique puts much of today’s art to shame.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Today’s artists seem to have different standards.

[InkStone]

Good Morning Dan, and a productive weekend to each of you.

All frightening depictions of real events... such talent.

Thank You Dan!

[etabeta]

Beautiful art, especially the sculptures. Thank you, Dab.

"frightening"

Slow, deep breaths, Leon. It's going to be OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK.

[Hebrews 11:6]

You’re very welcome, Abba.

I want them to have light sabres for ultimate coolness. Apologies for my star wars nerdness coming out. :)

[Hebrews 11:6]

You would, xp.

Don't apologize for being yourself. We've learned to tolerate you just as you are!

[Maudeen]

He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

There's no denying that happened. Just look at our country.

[Hebrews 11:6]

As I considered your apt statement, the stark divide seemed clear between good and bad angels, and between Spirit-led and self-directed people.
