The War In Heaven: Why the Ascension of Jesus Triggered the Fall of Satan

from Archive Drift · host Brian

We grew up hearing that Satan and a third of the angels rebelled in heaven long before Adam and Eve, influenced heavily by John Milton’s Paradise Lost. But what if that popular story isn’t actually in the Bible?In this episode I'll go through a careful look at Revelation 12, the only chapter that directly describes a war in heaven involving Michael, the dragon, and a third of the stars. We examine the surprising timing of this cosmic conflict — right after the birth, death, and ascension of Jesus Christ — and what it reveals about the ancient serpent, the accuser of the brethren, and the heavenly court.Then we will see how the dragon lost his legal standing as prosecutor because of Christ’s perfect obedience and victory over death. We explore the real nature of free will among spiritual beings, why a massive rebellion erupted at the ascension, and what it means that the battlefield has now shifted to the earth.Full length videos here https://youtube.com/@archivedrift1?si=Fpm2cuvpVCQ42-fr
