                paraphrased study

After the manchild(/Son of man) was taken up to God’s throne where he will rule with the unbreakable measuring rod of Truth, and the faith had fled.. (migrated) 7 - War arose in heaven, Michael and his angels warred against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels warred against Michael and his angels. 8 But the dragon hadn’t the strength, and no longer was a place for them found in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent (oR “cherubim” from Ezek.28:12-  “Son of man, raise a lamentation over the king of Tyre.. you were in Eden, the garden of God.. an anointed covering cherub [kerub - an order of angelic beings, cherub, cheribim]. I appointed you on the holy mountain.. You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created, till unrighteousness [evel or avel or avlah or olah - unrighteousness, injustice] was found in you..”

     (Like David is used as a representation of Christ in prophecy, so too are despotic kings used as a representation of Satan the adversary.)

     9 And the great dragon was thrown out, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown to the earth, and his angels were thrown with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come! For the accuser of our brethren has been thrown out, who accused them day and night before our God. 11 And they have overcome him through the blood of the lamb, and through the word of their testimony, and (word for word) and (they) not loved the life of them unto death”. (I think we may have misread this? — didn’t love their life that leads to death? Perhaps, in this verse anyway, in Rev.20 is different?🤷🏼‍♀️) 12 “Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell therein! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come to you in great wrath, because he knows his time is short.”
