Revelation 12:7-9 speaks of a war in Heaven between Archangel Michael and his angels vs. Satan and his angels. The result is that Satan and his angels are cast down to this earth. Men's doctrines preach different times for when that event happens, or happened.
1. some preach that happened back when Satan first rebelled against God. That would have to mean before the foundation of this present world, i.e., prior to Adam and Eve, because by the time Satan as "that old serpent" shows up in God's Eden to tempt Eve, he was already in his role as the adversary, showing that he had already fallen.
2. some instead preach that Satan was cast out at Christ's crucifixion, basing it on what Jesus said in John 12...
John 12:31
31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.

However, many appear to miss 2 other related Bible Scriptures that relate to the Revelation 12:7-9 war and casting down to this earth. One is the Daniel 12:1 Scripture about Archangel Michael will "stand up"...
Dan 12:1
12 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
KJV
That Daniel 12:1 verse is a type of short summary of 3 main events for the END. The first is Archangel Michael standing up, then the coming of the "great tribulation" Jesus warned us about for the END, for that is what that 'time of trouble' is about per Matthew 24:21. And the third is the time of deliverance of the faithful saints after that tribulation by Lord Jesus Christ's return.
The 2nd related Scripture many miss is when Apostle Paul mentioned about one who does the 'withholding' of the "man of sin" per 2 Thessalonians 2...
2 Thess 2:6-9
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
KJV
Actually there is one more related Scripture, towards the end of the Daniel 10 chapter points to Archangel Michael being the one who is withholding the "prince of Persia" (put for Satan there), along with the angel speaking to Daniel.
Dan 10:20-21
20 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.
21 But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
KJV
So WHEN... truely, is the Revelation 12:7-9 casting out of Satan and his angels really for??
