War in Heaven

War in Heaven

by Robert B. Thompson
Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. (Revelation 12:7)
The Lord Jesus advised us to pray, “Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.”
Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:10)
The problem is, God’s will has not been done in Heaven, or I should say “in the heavenlies,” for there are at least three “heavens.” We know that because the Apostle Paul was caught up to the third “heaven.”
It appears to me that we saints have a role to play in cleansing the heavens of the rebellion and sin that originated there. Our problems in the earth will continue until the problems are solved in the heavenlies.
“Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 18:18)
My impression is that Paul was caught up to where God, Christ, the saints, holy angels and so forth, reside in resplendent Glory.
It may be true that Satan and his followers were dismissed from the highest area of Divine Glory, and forced down into the second heaven, and accuse the saints from this “heaven.”
