An Angelic War

Introduction: Did you know that 1/3rd of the angels fell during Lucifer’s rebellion? Guess what? That means that 2/3rd did not fall. The mighty archangel Michael will stand up against the dragon; and there will be a confrontation.
Listen to the words of John the beloved while exiled on the isle of Patmos.
1. The Celestial War between Angels! (Rev 12:7,8) – “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.”
You probably recognize Michael as the mighty protector of Israel. He’s on call at any moments notice to be dispatched by the God of creation.
Indeed, he is one strong Angel!
2. A Winner of the Angelic War is revealed! (Rev 12:9) – “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”
Remember. Lucifer who was later declared to be the devil (the great dragon) fell from the 3rd heaven unto the 2nd heaven (Eph 2:2; Luke 10:18,19). Ultimately, he will cast into the earth as referenced here. From a chronological perspective, this will happen perhaps near the midway period of the seven-year tribulation.
Isn’t it good to know that the Lord will deal with all evil?
Conclusion: Here is the GRAND ANNOUNCEMENT of the winner of the Angelic war in heaven.
“And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, 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, which accused them before our God day and night” (Rev 12:10).
Jesus Christ will reign forever. Hallelujah!
