War Broke Out In Heaven!

Hello! and happy Tuesday to all of us; and it's just 87 days to go before Christmas, GUYS.  Our first-thing-first today:

 

THE GOOD NEWS (29 September 2015)

"War broke out in heaven with Michael and his angels battling with the dragon.  The dragon fought back with his angels, but they were defeated and lost their place in heaven.  The great dragon, the ancient serpent known as the devil or Satan, seducer of the whole world, was thrown out.  He was hurled down to earth, together with his angels.

Then I heard a loud voice from heaven:

Now has salvation come, with the power and the kingdom of our GOD, and the rule of HIS anointed.  For our brothers' accuser has been cast out, who accused them night and day, before GOD.  They conquered by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they gave up their lives going to death.  Rejoice, therefore, O you heavens and you who dwell in them; but woe to you, earth and sea, for the devil has come to you in anger knowing that he has but a little time." - Revelation 12:7-12

 

(GOD's plan for the world has just been revealed:  the Son of GOD must become a human and rise as the Savior of all people.  This mystery causes a double crisis:  in the world of spirits (or angels) and in humankind.

 

The Jews imagined the angels were a huge army and they called their head Michael.  Similarly, the devil is presented as the head of the army of rebellious angels, the stars fallen from heaven.)
