“THEREFORE REJOICE, O HEAVENS, AND YOU WHO DWELL IN THEM!
WOE TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH AND THE SEA!
FOR THE DEVIL HAS COME DOWN TO YOU, HAVING GREAT WRATH,
BECAUSE HE KNO W S THAT HE HAS A SHO RT TIM E”
(Rev. 12:12)
“AND W AR BROKE OUT IN HEAVEN:
MICHAEL AND HIS ANGELS FOUGHT AGAINST THE
DRAGON; AND THE DRAGON AND HIS ANGELS
FOUGHT, BUT THEY DID NOT PREVAIL, NOR WAS A
PLACE FOUND FOR THEM IN HEAVEN ANY LONGER…
HE WAS CAST TO THE EARTH, AND HIS ANGELS WERE
CAST OUT WITH HIM…
(Rev. 12:7-9)
“NOW WHEN THE DRAGON SAW THAT HE HAD
BEEN CAST TO THE EARTH….THE DRAGON
WAS ENRAGED WITH THE WOMAN, AND HE
WENT TO MAKE W AR WITH THE REST OF HER
OFFSPRING, WHO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS
OF GOD AND HAVE THE TESTIMONY
O F JESUS CHRIST.” (Rev. 12:13,17)
“I WILL GIVE POWER TO MY TWO WITNESSES…NOW WHEN THEY FINISH THEIR
TESTIMONY, THE BEAST THAT ASCENDS OUT OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT
WILL MAKE W AR AGAINST THEM, OVERCOME THEM, AND KILL THEM…”
(Rev. 11:3,7)
From the above examples we can easily see what it is that will
mark the seven years of tribulation: it is “WAR!” There will be
“war in the heavens” among angelic and demonic forces. There
will be “war on earth” between Satan and the Tribulation saints.
There will be war between God;’s two witnesses, Moses and Elijah
pitted against the False Prophet and the Antichrist. Revelation
spells out 6 warfares that will happen during this time:
Let us now consider this prophetic teaching entitled,
“War in Heaven and War on Earth”
