Revelation chapter 11 questions

[William Barton]

Jay Ross noted:
<I do not believe that the scriptures support your understanding.>

"Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came among them." (Job 1:6)

Let us understand that Satan was thrown down long ago (Ezekiel28:14-17). Also, the book of Job is dated perhaps second Millennium B.C., and in Job 1:6 above Satan is *already* roaming the earth.

Let us also remember that angels and cherubim do not die.

The Bible indicates there will a future desperate war in heaven as well, when Satan sees that his days of roaming the earth are numbered, and that he is to be cast into hell (Revelation 12:7).

And as I have suggested before:
IT'S IN THE BOOK.

Sorry William, but your claim proves nothing of any substance.

Satan is a Cherub who one served in the temple, and has been granted occasional returns to heaven.

"War in heaven" (Revelation 12:7-17) suggests a last effort of Satan and his angels to secure their access to heaven, before they are thrown down to earth again.

Jesus and his angels subsequently come down to earth, at a time future to today, and a battle will ensue (Revelation 19:11-21). The Lamb of God is now the Lion of Jehovah.

Satan is thrown into the pit inside the earth, presumably his angels as well. They will be there for 1000 years (Revelation 20:7).

After this they are released and the battle of Har Megiddo ensues (Revelation 20:7-10).
