Thy will be done as it is in Heaven

Mat 6:10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.

This seems to imply that God's will is always done in Heaven.

Rev 12:7
And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer.

Somebody could say:
"Sounds like the Prince of Peace cannot prevent war in Heaven any more than He does on Earth."

What say Y'all.

The war in heaven as spoken in the prophecy of Jesus (Rev 12:7) does not refer to the heaven where God dwells but to the seat of power of earthly governments.
Paul speaks of the third heaven. That is where God dwells. Then there is the second heaven or atmosphere of the earth. And finally, there is the first heaven where the seat of power of governments dwell.
The principalities, powers and governments are the heaven of the earth. And therefore “the earth” is representative of the common people.

Revelation is highly symbolic, and it is therefore necessary that the prophets of old must be brought to view to correctly understand Revelation. As the book is the spirit or mind of the prophets.
The book is also the prophecy of Jesus and does not speak of things of the past but of things to come.
Jesus is said to be a prophet like that of Moses. And Moses, as the other prophets, speaks of things that are to befall the Jews is the latter or last days. The day of the Lord. The day of recompense. The day of His wrath. The day of Jacob’s trouble etc.

Revelation speaks of the song of Moses and of the Lamb which is further reference to the prophecy of Moses as it applies to the last days or day of vengeance yet to come upon God’s people(the Jews) and the nations at the coming of Christ.

Deu 32:1 - Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
Unchecked Copy Box
Deu 32:2 - My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
Unchecked Copy Box
Deu 32:3 - Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
Unchecked Copy Box
Deu 32:4 - He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
Unchecked Copy Box
Deu 32:5 - They have corrupted themselves, * their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.

* “their spot” is “the mark” of the beast.

The above scripture is the beginning of the song of Moses which is the judgments to come upon the rebellious people of Israel in the latter days of their existence before the establishment of God’s kingdom on earth. The heavens of whom are to give ear are the government and the earth the common people.

The war to occur in heaven occurs among the leaders and government of the people of Israel against other nations.

The Prince of Peace actually had come to bring a sword, conflict is to be provoked within households, what say you?

“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. (Matt. 10:34-36)
 
And a person's enemies will be those of his own household.
Whether it is only a few, or many, or some, people turning to The Creator for help must leave their household idols behind, and other practices of their own family, to follow Jesus. Families and communities not serving Jesus do not like it at all when someone from their midst does get immersed in Jesus' Name to be His.
 
Kingdom of God here on earth in the end of days when all things will be made new again is what we need to be making ourselves ready for and preparing others for that glorious day. Rev 21

God will not always be in the third heaven as when all things are finished here on earth after the return of Christ God will make new again this present heaven and earth then He will usher down the New Jerusalem (Spiritual Kingdom of God). God will then be with us as the tabernacle of God is with men and He will dwell with us and we with Him forever. For now the kingdom of God is within us as we are made kings and priest of God as we reign with Christ here on earth until the seventh trumpet sounds and then the nations (kingdoms) of this world become the nations (kingdoms) of God and of Christ and He will be our God and we His people forever.

The tabernacle of God within the New Jerusalem is not that which is made by hand as neither is the New Jerusalem. When we are given spiritual bodies (glorified bodies) then we will see all things of God that are spiritual for in our mortal bodies we can not even perceive what the New Jerusalem will look like just as we can not even know what Christ looks like, but know we will be just like Him in our glorified bodies.

Third Heaven - This is where God, Jesus and the holy angels dwell plus the very breath of just men dwell as when we die it is that breath that returns back to God. It is called The heaven of heavens, (Deuteronomy 10:14; 1 Kings 8:27; Psalms 115:16; 148:4). (1Kings 8:27) The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain you. The third heaven is beyond the space and stars. Where no man has seen by telescope. This heaven is the dwelling-place of God (John 3:13).

Daniel 7:27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

Luke 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. 12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. 13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Rev 5:10 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. (We are the Spiritual Kingdom of God on earth)

Rev 11: 15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. (We are that Spiritual kingdom of God while here on earth as we reign with Him over the nations)

Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
