The Three Levels of Spiritual Warfare

There are three levels of spiritual warfare, all of which revolve around Satan’s fixation with stamping out the Messiah. He’s battling against the Messiah for two reasons: (1) God promised that the Messiah would crush Satan’s head (Gen. 3), and (2) the Messiah redeems humanity, who is the subject of his scorn and scourging.  The three levels of spiritual warfare are: (1) cosmic-level conflict, (2) conflict against the redeemed, and (3) conflict against the unredeemed.
