I am going to do my best today to try to help you understand spiritually what happened on this past Tuesday and what needs to be happening now as a result.  So please listen very carefully.

The Apostle John is recording for us a vision revealed to Him by our Lord Jesus.  In this vision He sees things both from the far past and far future.  Even unto the times that we are living in right now.  In this moment in chapter 12, he is talking about what happened in what we could call the beginning.  We know that in the beginning God made the heavens and the earth.  The earth is 4.54 billions years old according to scientists.  In the beginning when God created the heavens we know that God created the angels, which we understand now are different than human beings.  They are spirit beings like us, but they don't have physical bodies nor do they have freedom of choice.  Lucifer who is called the devil and satan is a fallen angel.  He is no god of this world.  There is only one God, beside Him there is none other.  Jesus, talking about the devil, said that satan has been a murderer from the beginning.

Not only was the devil cast out of heaven to the earth, but also a third of the angels were cast out with him.  They are now in the earth and are what we refer to as demons or evil spirits.

So John is seeing the essence of this and in this vision he hears this cry from heaven...
