War in
Heaven, Satan Cast Out
Can you imagine the fury of
Satan as he knows that he is about to be cast
out of the mid-Heaven? He was
created as one of the most beautiful of all the
angels. From truth in the
Word of God, it is believed that he was the
Music Director of the heavenly host.
The Son of God clearly stated that He
beheld him when he was thrust out of the
immediate presence of the Father.
Since that awesome occasion, he has been
the “the prince of the
power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2).
He directs all evil powers from that
location.
The Rapture of the Church
will occur immediately before Satan is cast down
to the earth. Actually, the
two supernatural moments are almost
simultaneous. This explains
the ferocious attack that Satan is waging
against the Pre-Tribulation Rapture.
It’s time we labeled the many enemies of
the Rapture with clear Biblical facts.
Every attack on the Rapture is an attack
that is planned by the devil himself.
The Word of God could not have said it
any more plainly, “And if
I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
again, and receive you unto myself; that where I
am, there ye may be also” (John 14:3).
Satan has to be on this
earth and limited to this earth for the coming
Great Tribulation. He cannot
be cast to this earth until the “Restrainer” is
removed and the Bride of Christ is caught up to
heaven. To even consider
anything different is completely unbiblical.
How could the Holy Spirit fulfill His
great office as the Vicar of Christ on earth at
the same time that Satan is reigning as the god
of this earth? Presently,
Satan is the god of the unholy world system;
but, during these seven years, he will be the
god of this earth.
Immediately after the Lord
Jesus Christ and His host of Angels orchestrate
the Rapture and the Saints are safe in the
Celestial City, all Hell will break loose in the
world between heaven and earth.
“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”
(Revelation 12:7-8). This
will truly be a “mother of all battles.”
It is evident that every fallen angel in
Satan’s kingdom (except those consigned to the
Abyss) is involved. Every one
of these angels will be cast down to the earth
with Satan.
I personally believe that
Satan and his evil angels have limited control
of weather patterns. The
Scripture is clear that Satan and his host have
made the world like a wilderness, which would
clearly include the atmospheric heavens that
connect directly to earth.
“That made the world as a
wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof;
that opened not the house of his prisoners?”
(Isaiah 14:17). This was
spoken about Satan in his present position.
Once this battle is
finished, Holy Angels will begin to preach from
the former center of Satan’s domain.
“And I saw another
angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the
everlasting gospel to preach unto them that
dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and
kindred, and tongue, and people”
(Revelation 14:6). All
weather patterns from this war forward through
the Great Tribulation will be at the Father’s
direction and will mostly be judgmental in
action.
There is great finality in
the description of Satan’s doom,
“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. 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”
(Revelation 12:9-10). Even in
the midst of the Great Tribulation, it will be
good news that Satan has lost his throne.
As I deal with troubled lives, I often
find that the great battle is the “imaginations
and accusations” that badger people to the point
of insanity. This power to
accuse is probably Satan’s greatest scheme, but
this ability will be finished.
At this moment Satan will
be limited to the earth. He
will still have paranormal powers but will be
clearly confined to his earthly schemes.
This will be the darkest period of human
existence. Anyone that is
considering that the Bride of Christ will still
be on earth should see this picture.
It will be Satan’s earth for this very
short time.
“Therefore rejoice ye
heavens, and ye that dwell in them (the
Raptured saints).
Woe to the inhabiters of
the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come
down unto you, having great wrath, because he
knoweth that he hath but a short time”
(Revelation 12:12).
Everything in this
Prophetic News Alert is actually good news.
It’s an incredible process as we watch
God’s judicial rendering of His final judgments
of Satan and every fallen angel.
Nothing in this action is vicious or in
way less than God’s perfect Holiness cleansing
our world for His eternal family.
As we await the Trumpet
announcing His coming in the heavens, put on the
whole armor of God.
Especially, “take the
helmet of salvation, and the sword of the
Spirit, which is the word of God”
(Ephesians 6:17). The very
atmosphere is charged with “imaginations and
accusations” against everything pure and holy
and against every child of God.
Listen to nothing that is not in perfect
harmony with the Holy Bible.
“Delight thyself also in
the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of
thine heart” (Psalm 37:4)
