17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

They were rebuked by Christ. v

18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

From the second heaven to the first heaven (see Eph. 2:21) at some point before Luke 10:18.

From the first heaven down to earth during the Tribulation (Rev. 12:7–9, 12).

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Notice why God did it that way.

for so it seemed good in thy sight.
