Åpenbaringen 12,9

Satan
Spiritual warfare

7 Og det brøt ut krig i himmelen, Mikael og hans engler kjempet mot dragen, og dragen og dens engler kjempet tilbake.

8 Men de var ikke seirende, og deres plass i himmelen var ikke mer.

Den store dragen ble kastet ned, den gamle slangen som kalles djevelen, eller Satan, som bedrar hele verden. Han ble kastet ned til jorden, og hans engler med ham.

10 Da hørte jeg en høy røst i himmelen si:
“Nå er frelsen og kraften kommet
og vår Guds rike,
og hans Kristi myndighet,
for anklageren av våre brødre og søstre,
som anklager dem for vår Gud dag og natt,
er blitt kastet ned.

11 De overvant ham
ved Lammets blod
og ved ordet av deres vitnesbyrd;
de elsket ikke sine liv
selv til døden.
