And some of these have happened and some haven't, you a physical Hard Copy or the software copy of the Naves to assist you. You do not want it? Okay, it is your choice to learn or to teach heresy! One is profitable, the other is not.I appreciate your advice, but respectfully, I must trust in what I believe the Holy Spirit is teaching me. Perhaps you're referring to the fall of Satan which is a different matter.
Concerning being cast out of heaven, I feel that the scriptures below are quite clear. The reason I believe that Satan was cast out of heaven after the crucifixion of the Christ, is because in verse 5, the man child was caught up to God, which implies the resurrection of our Lord. Then in verse 7, there is war in heaven. In verse 8, Satan and his angels fighting in heaven lose the battle and their place in heaven is no longer found. For verse 9 says that Satan and his angels were cast out into the earth. Since in verse 8, their place was no longer found in heaven, this implies that they did have a place in heaven before being cast out. Then it says in verse 10, that now that Satan is gone from heaven, salvation has come, referring to the power of the Christ, whose power to save is in his sacrificial death and resurrection. Finally in verse 12, it says woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea because the devil has come down to earth, which implies that Satan is trapped on earth and with little time left.
Revelation 12:5-12 King James
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 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.
10 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
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.
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. 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.
