BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 16, Day 3: Revelation 12:7-9
6) Michael and his angels fought the dragon and hurled them down to earth.
7) Satan only has power that God has granted him. Satan operates under God’s control. Satan’s power is limited by God. God rules over Satan.
8 ) I find comfort and courage knowing that God is always in control, that he won’t give me more than I can handle, that I can defeat Satan through the power of the blood of Christ, that I am stronger than Satan since I have the Holy Spirit within.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 16, Day 3: Revelation 12:7-9
Bible scholars believe this battle happens at the mid-point of the Great Tribulation, or the 7-year period as explained by Daniel (Daniel 12:1).
Bible scholars are unsure if this is a real battle or a spiritual one.
Note that Satan can enter heaven, but only at God’s allowance.
Note the many names that Satan is referred to as. This emphasizes his nature.
Fun Fact: Satan falls 4 times in the Bible. This is the 2nd fall.
Satan falls:
- From glory (Ezekiel 28:14-16)
- From heaven (here),
- To the pit/Abyss (Revelation 20).
- To the lake of fire (Revelation 20).
Demons/demonic spirits are really fallen angels, as stated here.
