Blue Laws in North Dakota
I was texted this morning by a friend who was traveling through North Dakota. She was at Walmart Sunday A.M., March 30th. She saw this sign, took a picture, and sent it to me.
What time was Revelation 12:10?
Question:
I spoke with you last night regarding Rev. 12. You mentioned to me that this was before the crucifixion (clarification: I actually said that the first part of Revelation 12 and the verse in John 12 were before the cross), the Dragon/angels were casted out… I read John 12 which you said corresponded to Rev 12… I may have the wrong text, I don’t see the correlation. Can you clarify this?
Answer:
Good morning.
John 12:31 – “Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.”
Revelation 12:10 – “Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down.”
Does this help?

Revelation 4 thru 6 in Verse
Revelation 4 thru 6 in Verse:
Long ago on a bright blue stone,
sat the King of glory upon His throne.
Rainbow colors were about His face.
Darkness or evil? Not even a trace.
His servants did sing with joy, love, and fullness,
He astounded creation with all of His goodness.
He looked for One who could open the book—
His voice roared like thunder! The universe shook!
Not ONE? Nowhere? So who could it be?
I’ve looked above and below, but none could I see!
I broke, I fell, I cried and I wept,
when a Lion—a Lamb! Exceptional! Adept!
He stood up in lowliness, beauty and power,
with strength in His eyes, from whom evil did cower.
He reached with a hand, torn with a hole,
and took from the throne the most marvelous scroll,
Sealed with gems, jewels and glittering gold!
The Law of love He’s meant to uphold!
So Angels bore witness of His incredible journey,
through education in strife […]
