Luke : Verse 26 tells us about Satan and his host being cast out of heaven, down to earth, after a war in heaven,
For as Paul stated in Eph.6:12, that "...we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." When these ‘powers’ in heaven are ‘shaken’,
Satan and his host of fallen angels will be cast to earth. Rev. 12:7 gives an even better description of the casting out. Turn there: Rev.12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, Satan has a spiritual body as we do and he will be here on earth along with his fallen ones that rebelled with him in the first earth age.
This happens during the sixth trumpet of Revelation. Since this 12th Chapter of Revelation agrees with the subject that Jesus taught in Mark 13, Matthew 24, and Luke 21, about the latter days, let’s continue with some important verses from this 12th Chapter: Rev 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. This is still talking about Satan, 'the accuser' in this verse, being cast down to earth in our near future. Since the phrase "Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God..." is still yet future to us today, then this 'casting out' of Satan is future also. This will be the result of the 'war in heaven' written back in; Rev.12:7. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels. The seventh and 'last trump' of I Cor.15 will not have sounded yet at this stage, for this event signals the beginning of Satan's 'five months' tribulation on earth, the 'season' or time of the 'locusts' as written in; Rev.9: Read All Rev.12:11 Is talking about the elect who are delivered up to the ‘synagogue of Satan’, giving a testimony for God against the false Messiah, Satan, here on earth; notice they ‘overcame’ Satan by the ‘blood of the Lamb’, Jesus; this verse is also a warning to those who would be deceived, for Satan will come to the earth, in person.
