2 Kings 25; 2 Chronicles 36; Jeremiah 40-41; Revelation 12
Revelation 12:7-9 7And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9The 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
In this particular story, John is explaining the vision that he had. The vision of when Jesus comes back and what happens to the people on earth and those that are already in heaven. At this moment, Michael is fighting against the devil and his demons because Satan wants his place back in heaven to corrupt it like he did with earth. Those angels that followed satan lost their places as well and found agony in hell.
Just because John is writing about what happens in the future, this happens everyday in heaven. Angels are fighting for our lives that we remain in the path of the Lord. When I sin, there is a possibility that my soul can be lost forever. But when the angels fight for me against the demons and I trust that the angels will win my soul is regained. My trust in the angels is my faith that everything will be OK after I sin. When I sin and recognize what i did I ask for forgiveness. I go to God and show Him that I don't only feel guilty but I am genuinely sorry for what I did and not do it again. However there are times when I will do it again, but in those repeated offenses I go back and believe that the blood of the lamb will save my spot next to Him in heaven.
Lord,
Thank you for the blood that you shed for me. You're blood and sacrifice has given me a place next to you and has allowed me to know you. My soul, my spirit, my life is in your hands. I place it and give it all to you
I forever love you always
Amen
