Revelation 12:7-9
7 Then war broke out
in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the
dragon and his angels fought back. 8 But
he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called
the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was
hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
To start
today, I want to thank all of you that are Veterans! War is not a new concept. Even back to the old testament we can read
about wars. The wars that happen here on
earth now, are not something we tend to like to think about. As Americans, we have had it much better than
some, thanks to those who serve our country.
We often do
not think about a war having taken place in Heaven though. In Revelation 12, we see that there was a
war. Michael and his angels fought the
dragon and his angels. The dragon lot
and was cast out of Heaven, sent to earth.
This dragon, also known as Satan now fights a war with those on earth, daily. He battles to bring us to his side and take
us away from the Lord.
Today, along
with remembering and thanking the Veterans that have fought for us here on
earth, I want to remind you that you are also constantly at war with the
devil. He lost the war in Heaven. Will he lose the war here on earth as
well? As part of God’s army, we need to
continue to battle to save the lives of all of those around us.
