[Revelation Ch.12: The Dragon and the Woman]

III. War In Heaven (Part I)

REV 12:7  And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels

     In anger and frustration, Satan will initiate an all-out, terrible war in the invisible sphere. The archangel Michael, protector of Israel, will be involved in the continued protection of God's people.

REV 12:9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world

     Four names are used to identify Satan:

  • Dragon

  • Serpent

  • Devil

  • Satan

     (See A Pictorial Guide to Bible Prophecy, Chapter 25 "Satan and Demons")

REV 12:11  And 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.

     The only way to overcome the Devil is--

     (1) By the blood of the Lamb

     (2) By the word of our testimony

     (3) By being unafraid of death

REV 12:12  ...for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

     During the short tribulation period, the Devil concentrate all his attention on the earth. For the first time in human history, Satan will try ALL his wiles and tactics.
