Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!” (Revelation 12:7-12, ESV)
Satan the dragon will be defeated and thrown out of Heaven by Whom?
Not by Jesus or the Father, but by Michael the Arch Angel. God sens a messenger to dispatch Satan…
Yes evil is all around us and has it’s day with us… I believe on some part this is because we give into it…
But the hope is that God does not have to lift a finger in the end and sends a messenger to handle His lite work thanks to what Jesus did on the cross…
So hope in the angels to finish off the evil one, and live in the mercy and grace that Jesus gave you at the cross.
