Saturday – September 23nd – Revelation 12:8-9 (part 2) -----
12:8) but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer.
9) So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
The Daily Walk Bible inspirational thought for today:
BUOYANT AND ZEALOUS, ZECHARIAH HAD THE SOUL OF AN ARTIST AND THE EYES OF A SEER.*
Happy Saturday to you! I am excited for week number two of our new series “It Was By Faith”. How would you define the word “faith”? Hebrews chapter 11 begins ten different verses about Old Testament people with the statement “It Was By Faith”, plus there is a listing of a bunch of other Old Testament heroes who were also granted a salvation relationship by God long before Jesus entered the world. Their resolve in times of trouble is encouragement for us today. Join us this weekend in the SunRise building live or by live-stream on our SunRise YouTube channel.
In our pick verse today, we continue to unpack the tremendous amount of information contained in verses eight and nine of Revelation chapter twelve. After the dragon was defeated in the heavenly realm, it was hurled down to the earth, along with its demons. Questions arise as to when this occurs in the earth’s timeline of history. The whole of scripture suggests that Satan has been defeated (booted out of Heaven) more than once. He appeared in the garden of Eden as the already fallen, evil serpent (Genesis 3:1-15). That original fall from Heaven is alluded to in both Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel. Also, when the apostles of Jesus successfully cast out evil spirits, Jesus reported to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven” (Luke 10:18). Satan’s second defeat occurred during the days of Jesus. Part three tomorrow will focus on what/when is the devil’s third defeat at the hands of God.
Blessings
