Introduction: The devil has always hated Jesus Christ. Being the master deceiver and accuser, he not only attacks Israel but also attempts to devour the Savior of the world. One can trace his plots in Revelation 12.

1. The Great Red Dragon hates Israel (Rev 12:1,2) 

“1And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 2And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.”

2. The Great Red Dragon hates Jesus (Rev 12:3,4) 

“3And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.”

3. The Great Red Dragon hates angels (Rev 12:7-9) 

“7And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9And 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.”

4. The Great Red Dragon hates the brethren (Rev 12:10) 

“10And 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. 11And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”

From this study of satanology we can derive at several conclusions. First, the dragon will not succeed. Second, Jesus will prevail. Third, Michael and his angels win. Fourth, We are being accused by the accuser daily.

Conclusion: God reveals through His Word this war in heaven. Technically speaking, this will probably take place during the tribulation.

But Jesus Christ wins the war! Because He wins, we win!!
