What happened those many years ago that caused such a spiritual upheaval?
Why did God allow it to happen?
What is happening today as a result of that moment?
And what will happen in the future to bring it to an end?
Those are some of the issues we must deal with in this study. We will face the issue of Satan and his demonic host early on, because his revolt is the defining moment in history when spiritual warfare as we know it began.
We will also deal with this issue first because of its chronological place in the history of angels, and because we want to overlay a portrait of the power of God on top of Satan’s limited power, to keep it all in perspective.
