Angelic Combat
During the Rebellion, Lucifer's forces were defeated by the Heavenly Host led by Archangel Michael (Rev.12:7-9). Satan and his followers are believed to have or have had access to the throne of God, a freedom that the devil uses or used to accuse the followers of God (Zech.3:1; Job 1 & 2; Rev.12:10). Some believe that open warfare has already occurred and Satan is bound to hell, others believe that open warfare will not break out in heaven until the tribulational period (Rev.19:11-21) when the heavenly host will be commanded by Christ.

Famous quotes containing the words angelic and/or combat:
“That loving wretch that swears
‘Tis not the bodies marry, but the minds,
Which he in her angelic finds,
Would swear as justly that he hears,
In that day’s rude hoarse minstrelsy, the spheres.
Hope not for mind in women; at their best
Sweetness and wit, they’re but Mummy, possessed.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
“In case I conk out, this is provisionally what I have to do: I must clarify obscurities; I must make clearer definite ideas or dissociations. I must find a verbal formula to combat the rise of brutality—the principle of order versus the split atom.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
