Thanks- your visual learner friend, Renee. Angels & Demons Chapel 1/29/2026 The defeat of Satan described at Revelation 12 happened when the Son of God died on the cross for the sins of the world, and was resurrected 3 days later. The event described in Heaven, the war with Michael and God's angels defeating Satan/the dragon. This war in Heaven was the cosmic battle and victory that Jesus accomplished on earth, at the cross. Michael together with God’s angels join Christ in the fight against evil - here it explains the heavenly counterpart to Christ’s victory. Satan is no longer allowed in the courtroom of God to accuse - the resurrection is the turning point of all human history. The moment of Jesus' victory on earth overcame the power of the enemy - crushed and thrown to earth (Luke 10.18-20, Rom8.33-38). See Dan7.21-22 War won by Ancient of Days - saints possess the Kingdom (already and not yet complete) The event of the Devil being cast out of heaven is a significant moment in biblical theology, symbolizing the ultimate defeat of evil and the triumph of God's sovereignty. This event is primarily referenced in the book of Revelation, with additional insights from other scriptural passages that provide context and understanding of the Devil's fall. Revelation 12:7-9 : The most direct account of the Devil's expulsion from heaven is found in Revelation 12:7-9: "Then a war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But the dragon was not strong enough, and no longer was any place found in heaven for him and his angels. And the great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him." This passage describes a cosmic battle between the forces of good, led by the archangel Michael, and the forces of evil, led by the Devil, also known as Satan. The imagery of the dragon represents Satan's power and influence, which is ultimately overcome by the might of God's heavenly host. The casting out of Satan signifies his defeat and the cleansing of heaven from his corrupting presence. Isaiah 14:12-15 : While Revelation provides a vivid depiction of the Devil's expulsion, the book of Isaiah offers a prophetic and poetic account that has traditionally been associated with Satan's fall. Isaiah 14:12-15 states: "How you have fallen from heaven, O day star, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the ground, O destroyer of nations. You said in your heart, 'I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit on the mount of assembly, in the far reaches of the north. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.' But you will be brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit." This passage, while initially directed at the king of Babylon, has been interpreted by many theologians as a dual reference to the pride and fall of Satan. The imagery of the "day star" or "Lucifer" reflects the Devil's original exalted position and his subsequent downfall due to pride and rebellion against God. Ezekiel 28:12-17 : Similarly, Ezekiel 28:12-17 provides another allegorical account that has been linked to Satan's fall ___________________________________________________ 2- Angels Powerful Warriors for God Examples from The Bible: Daniel & the Lion’s Den .
