!! Satan’s Fall from Heaven to Earth
!! Revelation 12:7-17
!!! Introduction:
Many might ask, “What is Satan doing in heaven?”
~*Job 1:1-2:10 see him accusing Job in heave
~*He is an accuser of the brethren v. 10
~*We have the best lawyer that money can’t buy in Jesus
1 John 2:1 “And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the
Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
Satan’s names show his purpose:
1) Satan basically means to oppose: he opposes all that God does
2) Devil: slanderer: he slanders and tempts men to do evil
3) Great dragon: A formidable foe
4) Old serpent: Reminds me of Gen. 3 and his deceitfulness
Encouraging passage of Scripture: Luke 22:31-32
Three things happen when Satan is cast out:
1.
There is praise in heaven
2. There is persecution on earth
3.
There is the protection of God on His people
!!! I.
There is Praise in Heaven vv.
10-12
1.
There is a loud voice in heaven announcing what has taken place
Sounds to me like a victory announcement
2.
The martyr’s song vv.
11-12
Many say that this was sung
1) Good news: They have overcome
~*By the blood of the lamb: all glory is given to the lamb
~*Word of their testimony
~*Loved not their own lives
2) We overcome in same way:
~*By the blood of the lamb
Hymn # 169 “There is Power in the Blood”
~*Word of testimony:
Refers to their spoken witness.
Why were they martyrs?
They couldn’t shut up!
Demonstrated their genuine faith
~*Loved not their own lives:
-Apostles in Acts were beaten: they counted privilege to be worthy to suffer for Christ
-Paul said, “to live is Christ and to die is gain”
-How could anyone with this attitude be stopped?
+In a negative sense that is problem today fighting terrorism
+In a positive sense imagine what could be accomplished today if Christians had that attitude?
+Satan is defeating many today with people putting their lives ahead of Christ
!!! II.
There is Persecution on the Earth vv.
12b – 13
1.
Satan comes to the earth with a vengeance
Angry at God: great wrath
Knows that his time is short: gets right to work
2.
Satan went right after God’s chosen people Israel
Last time saw woman was Israel through which Christ came
Hates them: brought forth the Savior: Lamb
3.
Satan came with a flood: v.
15
Worst persecution ever
Watched Schindler’s list: horrible movie which I am told shows much of the reality of Jewish holocaust: Nothing compared to what is to come
4.
Satan came in anger
At the remnant: 144,000
Kept the commandments: word of God
Have the testimony of Jesus Christ
!!! III.
There is the protection of God vv.
14, 16
1.
God took her to a special place
2. God gave her supernatural care
3. God caused the earth to protect her v. 16
4. God continued to protect her: Time (1), times (2), and a half time (1~/2) = 3 ½ years
