Revelation 12:7
	And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon;
and the dragon fought and his angels,

       This verse is a very interesting verse.  First of all it tells us
there is a battle in heaven.  Then it tells us there are two sides.  On one side is Michael and
on the other side is the dragon.  It also tells us that both sides have angels that are fighting
each other.  Now remember the word "angel" simply means "a messenger".
 
     Let us take a look at all the places Michael is mentioned in the Word.
      
Dan 10:13	But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days:
but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the
kings of Persia. 
 (This is talking in the spiritual world.  This angel that was talking to Daniel took so long
because he was being stopped by one of Satan's people.  If you read this it tells you that
they call each others "princes".  Michael is called one of the "chief princes". Which is
mentioned concerning the flesh in Daniel. This angel was stopped for three weeks.  Does
that sound familiar?  Weeks is mentioned in Daniel, the point is all of these things are
connected.

Dan 10:14	Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the
latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.
(This angel's job was to come to Daniel and tell him what would happen at the end.  But
Satan's prince didn't want him to talk to Daniel, but he made it through with the help of
Michael.) 

Dan 10:21	But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there
is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince. 
(Again Michael is called a prince. The angel is telling Daniel everything i am telling you is
written in the Word.)

Dan 12:1	And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for
the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since
there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered,
every one that shall be found written in the book.
(Michael will stand up for the children, because there will be trouble, more than anyone
has seen, since there was gentiles on earth. Those that were already written in the book of
life will be protected.)  

Jude 1:9	Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed
about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The
Lord rebuke thee. 
(This tells you Michael is an archangel.  It also tells you Michael could argue with Satan,
but he does not.  So why do we try to argue with Satan?)

   This was just a little study to show you some other things that happen in heaven or the
spiritual world, which ever you want to call it.

   Let us continue with Revelation 12.
Revelation 12:8
	"And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven."

   It isn't until this war that Satan and his followers are kicked out
of heaven.  That is where Satan is now, accusing all the christians of being unworthly. 

Revelation12:9
	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.

   This is a list of  Satan's roles that he played.  It also tells you
what he does, and that is deceive people.  He will deceive the whole world this says, this is
talking about the world system. 
    Then it says he was thrown to the earth.  He will actually be here on earth.  There is
only two places you can be.  Either on earth in the flesh relm or in heaven in the spiritual
realm.  Satan will not be allowed in the spiritual realm after this time. Right now we can
not see him, because he is in the spiritual realm with God, but he will not be soon. 
       His angels will also be thrown out of the spiritual realm and will be in the flesh world
with us.  Can you imagine what humans will do when all of a sudden a whole army of
angels appear on earth?


Revelation 12:10
	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.

     See this is the "delivering" mentioned in Daniel 12.  This is
telling you what they are being delivered from.  Once satan is thrown out of heaven, there
is no one to accuse God's children, and that was what he was doing while he was there. 
They overcame because "the annointed one" delivered them from death. 

    This also tells us, this is when the kingdom of God starts.  God could have no evil in his
kingdom, so Satan had to be thrown out of the spiritual world for the kingdom to happen. 
That is one of the things we look forward to in the "Our Father", as Jesus taught us.

Revelation 12:11
	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.

      This verse explains that these people overcame Satan and his
accusing by the blood of Jesus, he was the sacrifice that took away anything the Devil
could be accusing them of.  
     They also overcame Satan by the Word of God, they did what God wanted, not what
they wanted.

Revelation 12:12
	Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. 

     The last thing that is mentioned for those in the spiritual realm
is to be happy. Because Satan is finally gone and will not be back.
