in popular culture is accurate Michael faces the dragon and his fallen angels for any team to win there must be a contest Revelation 12 describes the ultimate battle between good and evil the hosts of Heaven take on the dragon and his angels does good eventually win and there was war in heaven Michael and his angels Waging War With The Dragon the dragon and his angels waged war and they did not Prevail and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven Revelation chapter 12: 7-8 war broke out in heaven while Satan is likely

headed to Hell he's not presently there it's common to see cartoons depicting Satan in a red outfit with a pcture fork and pointed tail but such medieval folklore is hardly faithful to the biblical Picture in Job 1 Satan is mentioned as having access to heaven and visiting God's presence there this brings us to Revelation 12 where the devil and his imps march on Heaven creating a cosmic spiritual conflict as the dragon fought he did not Prevail the Archangel Michael was God's champion and Commanding General of God's forces we read Michael and his angels the most

well-known Angelic being in the Bible is probably Michael along with Gabriel what exactly Does Michael's role as an archangel entail in what capacity does he fit into God's Heavenly Host what is he accomplished and what are his duties Michael that name begs the question who is comparable to God many parents who name their sons Michael have no idea what the name means Michael is introduced to us by the Prophet Daniel Michael and his angels fought with the dragon and the dragon and his angels fought this is a dramatic scene of a Battle between good angels

and evil angels faithful angels and Fallen Angels who fights in this battle Satan represents the dragon and Satan is not God's counterpart God has no peer Michael the chief Angel opposing this chief of Fallen Angels why is the battle fought in a previous scene of conflict between Michael and Satan Jude 9 Satan had faced Michael here is another occasion where Satan wants to get in the way of God's plan for the end times Based on Daniel Jewish people recognized Michael as their Guardian prince who would defend them from the angels of the other nations who

sought to oppress them Daniel 10:13 but the prince of the kingdom of Persia was standing in the way for 21 days then behold Michael one of the chief princes came to help me for I had been left there with the kings of Persia Michael could singlehandedly ward off angels of other nations Michael's Power however had limits he could not overstep his authority and hence could not act against Satan himself without the permission of gods Jude 9 but Michael the Archangel when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses did not dare

pronounce against him an abusive judgment but said the Lord rebuke you here however Michael and his forces cast down Satan's forces symbolizing Christ's Earthly victory in heaven when is this battle fought this Battle happens at the midpoint of the seven years as described by Daniel Daniel 12:1 now at that time Michael the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people will arise and there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time and at that time your people everyone who is found written in

the book will be rescued how is this battle fought we know this is a real fight but Is it a material or spiritual battle our battle with Satan and his demons is spiritual fought on the battleground of Truth and deception of fear and faith Ephesians 6: 12 for our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers against the powers against the world forces of this Darkness against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the Heavenly places regarding material attacks against the believer Satan and his demons were disarmed at the cross Colossians 2:1 15

when he had disarmed the rulers and authorities he made a public display of them having triumphed over them through him in his classic work Paradise Lost the great poet Milton imagined this battle Michael bid sound the Archangel trumpet through the vast of Heaven it sounded and the faithful armies run hosana to the highest nor stood at gaze the adverse Legions nor less hideous joined the horrid shock now storming Fury Rose And clamor such as heard in Heaven till now was never arms on Armor clashing braid horrible Discord and the matting wheels of Brazen chariots raged

dire was the noise of conflict overhead the Dismal hiss of fiery darts and flaming volleys flew and flying vaulted either host with fire so under fiery cope together rushed both battles M with ruinous assault and ins distinguishable rage all heaven resounded and had Earth been then all Earth had to her Center Shook Revelation 12:9 immediately following Satan's defeat and prior to to his war against the church a loud voice in heaven proclaims God and His people's victory over Satan the accuser in verse 9 the dragon is identified as Satan but in verse 10 he is

described as the accuser who brings charges against God's people Satan refers to his identity but accuser refers to his role in God's war against his people since Believers triumphed over Satan they're confident Of Victory even though Satan continually accus us es them their victory over Satan was based on three factors the blood of the Lamb their faithful testimony to Jesus their faithfulness to Christ a faithful testimony to Christ brings them victory in the spiritual war we read so the Great Dragon was cast out throughout this verse our spiritual enemy is referred to as Dragon The

Serpent of Old Devil Satan and the one who deceives the whole world these Titles descri describ Satan as vicious an accuser an adversary and a deceiver we read he was cast to the Earth Bible describes various Falls of Satan and Revelation 12:9 describes the second of these four Falls he fell from glorified to profane Ezekiel 28: 14-15 you are the anointed cherub who covers and I placed you there you were on the Holy Mountain of God you walked in the midst of the stones of fire you were blameless in your ways from the day You

were created until unrighteousness was found in you Satan went from having access to heaven to restriction to the Earth First Kings 22: 21 then a Spirit came forward and stood before the Lord and said I will entice him Satan also went from the Earth to bondage in the bottomless pit for a thousand years Revelation 20: 1-2 and I saw an angel coming down from heaven holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand and he took hold of the Dragon The Serpent of old who is the devil and Satan and bound

him for a thousand years we read his angels were cast out with him this implies that demonic spirits are Fallen Angels who allied with Satan in his Rebellion against God these are his angels these angels are also the same as the third of the stars of Heaven described in Revelation 12:4 revelation [Music] the devil has come down to you with Great wrath knowing that he has only a short time we read the accuser of our Brethren who accuse them before our God day and night has been cast down Satan's accusing work ends here when he

is cast out from his access to Heaven that is why today we need an intercessor an advocate Hebrews chapter 7: 25 therefore he is also able to save forever those who come to God through him since he always lives to make intercession for them 1 John Chapter 2 Ver1 my little children I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin and if anyone sins we have an advocate with the father Jesus Christ the righteous this tells us three keys to the Saints victory over Satan Satan may have deceived even himself into

thinking that he has a chance our Rebellion against God makes even less sense than Satan Rebellion does the heavens can Rejoice over the dragon's departure and it is bad news for the Earth and the Sea the devil knows his time is short and he is determined to pour out his wrath as widely as possible the dragon spleen is vented especially against Israel the nation from which the Messiah Came John then offers a simple strategy for believers to overcome Satan's attacks a three-fold plan against the devil's assaults covering confession and courage Christians who think spiritual warfare

is an excellent subject to debate but don't think it Impacts their lives daily may be vulnerable to spiritual defeat good soldiers of Jesus Christ know Satan roams the Earth seeking Those whom he may devour we must be ready 1 Peter 5:8 be of sober Spirit be on the alert your adversary the devil prows around like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour primary way Satan attacks the people of God is through blasphemy and he is the accuser of our Brethren even so Believers have a Divine Advocate before God named Jesus 1 John 2:1 my little

children I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin and if anyone sins we have an advocate with the father Jesus Christ the righteous Satan the adversary May seek to destroy God's people but Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd John 10:1 I am the Good Shepherd the Good Shepherd lays down his life for the Sheep there are many lessons here the truth first Victory only comes with a Fight every crown comes at a cost there is no success without sacrifice the good news is anything worth achieving is worth the fight Michael

didn't fight alone and the Saints didn't defeat the enemy alone Victory rarely comes without teamwork God God designed us to win in community a victory should always be celebrated the heavens rejoice when the lamb wins the greater the victory the greater the celebration Jesus confirms this in Luke 10:18 Jesus says I saw Satan fall like lightning from Heaven this statement was made in response to the return of the 70 or 72 disciples that Jesus had sent to evangelize and prepare his way to Jerusalem according to the gospel of Luke Jesus had given these disciples Specific

Instructions now after this the Lord appointed 72 others and sent them in pairs ahead of him to every city and place where he himself was going to come Luke 10:1 picture this after completing their mission a group of 70 people return with a report as they share their findings their faces light up with joy and a hint of surprise can you imagine what exciting news they might have brought back Luke 10:1 17-8 now the 72 returned with Joy saying Lord even the demons are subject to us in your name and he said to them I

watch Satan fall from Heaven like Lightning this was a good day it was a productive day for the Disciples of Jesus despite the confusion and hardship they faced they were able to spread the message of hope and love to those who needed it the most and their efforts were met with success all 70 returned not one of the Lambs had been eaten by the Wolves we read even the demons are subject to us in your name in Luke 10:9 Jesus gave instructions to 70 disciples he had sent out to preach the Gospel unlike the 12

disciples whom he had earlier commissioned in Luke 9: 1-2 to cast out demons Jesus had not given such explicit instructions to the 70 however as the they went about their Ministry they discovered that They too had the power to cast out demons this unexpected blessing of their Ministry was a reminder that when we step out in faith and boldly do what Jesus tells us to do we can anticipate that he will bless us in ways beyond our Expectations it is a testimony to the power of obedience and the faithfulness of God to those who trust

in him Luke 10:9 says and heal those in it who are sick and say to them the kingdom of God has come near to you this remarkable achievement prompted Jesus to speak of the fall of Satan which was a reference to the moment when Satan rebelled against God and was consequently kicked out from Heaven this event is considered a significant judgment upon Satan Marking his downfall and ultimate defeat Jesus's reference to Satan's fall is quick and dramatic as lightning from Heaven emphasizes the suddenness and finality of the Judgment if Satan can be cast down how

much more the demons under him this is a reference to the judgment on Satan when he rebelled against God and was kicked out of heaven in fact there are four Falls of Satan and this passage refers to his final fourth fall this is the only fall of Satan that has Already happened we read son of the morning this title which embod Splendor Beauty and honor was a fitting one for Lucifer well before he fell from Grace we read how you are cut down to the ground wow what a difference the position of this being which

was once so lofty once so brilliant and once so brilliant has been reduced to the ground we read for you have said in your heart God reveals to us the factors that led to the downfall we read I will the Vanity and selfish ambition are forcefully represented in five statements that begin with the phrase I will this is the core of a life that is focused on oneself and is fascinated with oneself he says I will be like the most high it is a strange Paradox that the desire to be equal to God actually makes

a being less like him this is because in contrast God himself demonstrated humility by stepping down from his throne of Glory to reveal Himself to humanity even though Satan has a strong desire to elevate himself he will not achieve any form of exaltation presently he may seem to be elevated in some sense but this is just a fleeting moment in the grand scheme of things Satan along with all those who aspire to elevate themselves will ultimately be humbled 1 Peter 5:6 expresses the true path to being exalted therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of

God so that he may exalt You at the proper time Jesus Witnesses this fall this text affirms the idea that Jesus existed before his human birth and that he was present in the Judgment of Satan it also provides insight into how the devil was sentenced to live on earth which sets the stage for the conflict between Angels the text in question affirms not only the pre-existence of Jesus it also provides valuable insight into how the devil was sentenced to Earth which sets the stage For the Angelic conflict that would later arise in essence this text

sheds light on the interplay between the Divine and the evil one and how it shapes the course of human history Jesus spoke of Satan's fall from glorified to profane falling like lightning from heaven was as dramatic and sudden as a bolt of lightning from Heaven did you know that every time the kingdom of Jesus is presented in truth and power it is like another judgment upon Satan and All who share his rebellious Spirit where the gospel is preached with divine power Satan comes down from his throne in human hearts and human Minds as rapidly as

the lightning flesh falls from heaven and when we see his kingdom shaken then like Jesus we rejoice in spirit it's amazing to think that the preaching of the Gospel can have a powerful impact on the spiritual realm in remembering the fall of Satan Jesus also warned them against Pride you see If even someone as powerful and privileged as Satan Could Fall From Grace then surely anyone could it's a reminder that in any important Endeavor we must be careful not to get too caught up as the saying goes pride comes before the fall we read behold

I give you the authority because Satan had fallen and the disciples were messengers of Jesus and his kingdom they enjoyed the superior power of God over Satan did you know that by choosing to live in the Risen Christ you become a partaker of his Empire and not just that but you also get to enjoy all the sweet fruits of his victory over Satan it's like being on the winning team and having access to all the rewards that come with it so what are you waiting for join the winning team today according to job 1:12 1

Kings 22: 21 and Zechariah 3:1 Satan still has access to Heaven yet the Triumph of the disciples over the Demonic spirits was a significant event that confirmed Satan's downfall from his position of authority and power although he still possessed a considerable amount of power his position was now inferior compared to what it used to be First Kings 22: 21 then a Spirit came forward and stood before the Lord and said I will entice him Temptation and deception Temptation and deception are powerful tools used by the forces of Darkness to lead people away from God and

into sin The Bible provides us with insights into the nature of Temptation and deception as well as strategies for overcoming them temptation is the enticement to sin often disguised as something appealing or desirable it is a tactic used by Satan to lead people astray from God's will James 1: 14-15 explains the process of temptation but each person is tempted when they are dragged Away by their own evil desire and enticed then after desire has conceived it gives birth to Sin and sin when it is full grown gives birth to death this passage highlights the progression

of Temptation starting with an internal desire that is then exploited by external enticements deception is another tactic used by the enemy to lead people astray 2 Corinthians 11:14 warns and no wonder for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of Light this verse emphasizes the deceptive nature of Satan who disguised IES himself as something good and Appealing in order to deceive people one of the most famous accounts of Temptation in the Bible is the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness Matthew 4: 1-11 Satan tempts Jesus three times each time trying to get him to sin Jesus

resists each Temptation by quoting scripture demonstrating the power of God's word in overcoming Temptation the story of Eve in the Garden of Eden is another example of Temptation and de ception Genesis 3:6 describes how Eve Was tempted by the serpent to eat the forbidden fruit leading to the fall of humanity the story illustrates the devastating consequences of giving in to Temptation and the importance of being vigilant against deception despite the power of Temptation and deception the Bible offers strategies for overcoming them James 4:7 provides a clear directive submit yourselves then to God resist the devil

and he will flee from you you this Verse emphasizes the importance of submitting to God's Authority and resisting The Temptations of the evil one First Corinthians 10:13 offers encouragement no temptation has overtaken you except what is common to Mankind and God is faithful he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear but when you are tempted he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it this verse reminds us that God is faithful and will always provide a Way out of Temptation for those who seek Him the role of

Michael Michael is a prominent figure in the Bible often depicted as a powerful Archangel who serves as a Defender and protector of God's people his name means who is like God and reflects his role as a warrior in the spiritual realm the Lord rebuke you this passage illustrates Michael's Authority and power as well as his respect for God's judgment Michael is also associated with spiritual warfare And the defeat of evil forces Revelation 12: 7-8 describes a great war in heaven with Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon Satan and his angels and there was

war in heaven Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and the dragon and his angels fought back but he was not strong enough and they lost their place in heaven this passage highlights Michael's role in the defeat of Satan and his forces defender of the faithful Michael Often recogn ized as the Archangel and defender of the faithful plays a significant role in biblical narratives his name which means who is like God reflects his devotion and allegiance to the almighty throughout the Bible Michael is depicted as a powerful and righteous figure engaged in spiritual warfare

and protecting God's people the significance of Michael extends Beyond his role in battles and protection he is also seen as a symbol of righteousness And obedience to God in the face of spiritual challenges and temptations Michael exemplifies unwavering faith and loyalty to the Divine will throughout scripture Michael is portrayed as a powerful and righteous leader leading the Heavenly armies in battle against the forces of evil one of the key passages that highlight Michael's role as the leader of the Heavenly armies is found in the Book of Revelation Revelation 12: 7-9 Michael's leadership is also evident

in his interactions with Earthly rulers and kingdoms the outcome of the war one of the most profound statements regarding the outcome of this spiritual war is found in Revelation 20:10 which describes the final defeat of Satan and the devil who deceive them was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur where the Beast and the false prophet had been thrown they'll be tormented day and night forever and ever this verse Illustrates the ultimate defeat of evil and the complete Triumph of God's righteousness another passage that speaks to the victory of Christ is found in Colossians 2:1

15 and having disarmed the powers and authorities he made a public spectacle of them triumphing over them by the cross this verse highlights how Jesus through his death and Resurrection disarmed the powers of darkness and triumphed over them securing victory for All who believe in him the victory of Christ also ensures victory for believers 1 Corinthians 15: 57 declares but thanks be to God he gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ this verse emphasizes that our victory over sin and death is not achieved through our own efforts but through the work of Christ

on the cross as Believers we are called to live in the reality of this Victory Romans 8:37 reminds us no in all these things we are more than Conquerors through him who loved us this verse encourages us to live in the confidence of Christ's victory knowing that nothing can separate us from the love of God victory of good over evil in Genesis we encounter the first hint of the victory of good over evil in the promise of a redeemer who would crush the Serpent's head Genesis 3:15 foreshadows the ultimate defeat of evil Through The Offspring

of the woman and I will put enmity between you and the Woman and between your Offspring in hers he will crush your head and you will strike his heel This Promise sets the stage for the unfolding drama of redemption that will culminate in the victory of Christ the prophets of the Old Testament also spoke of a future victory of good over evil where righteousness would Reign and peace would Prevail Isaiah 9: 6-7 prophesizes about the coming Messiah whose government will bring about eternal Peace and justice for to us a child is born to us a

son is given and the government will be on his shoulders and he will be called wonderful counselor Mighty God ever ever lasting father Prince of Peace of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end he will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom establishing and upholding it with Justice and righteousness from that time on and forever in the New Testament the victory Of good over evil is fully realized in the person of Jesus Christ through his life death and Resurrection Jesus defeated sin death and the powers of darkness in John

16:33 Jesus reassured ures his disciples of this Victory I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace in this world you will have trouble but take heart I have overcome the world the continuing conflict on Earth the Bible teaches that the conflict between good And evil which began with the rebellion of Satan and his angels in heaven continues on Earth this ongoing spiritual warfare is a reality that Believers must face but the Bible provides guidance and encouragement for navigating this battle Ephesians 6:12 describes the nature of this conflict for our

struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers against the authorities against the powers of this dark world and against the Spiritual forces of evil and the Heavenly Realms this verse emphasizes that the true battle is spiritual involving unseen forces of evil that seek to oppose God's purpose and harm his people one of the key tactics of the enemy in the spiritual warfare is deception 2 Corinthians 11:14 warns and no wonder for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of Light this verse highlights the deceptive nature of the enemy who seeks To deceive people

truth of the Gospel another important aspect of the believer's role in the continuing conflict on Earth is prayer Ephesians chapter 6 ver8 encourages Believers to pray in the spirit on All Occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests with this in mind be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people prayer is a powerful weapon in spiritual warfare Allowing Believers to seek God's protection guidance and strength in the midst of the battle despite the challenges of spiritual warfare Believers can take comfort in the promise of Victory through Christ 1 John 4:4 declares
