The heavens are peopled with multitudes of spirit-beings of different orders and kinds, Rev. 12:12; 13:5. These beings are of three classes:
God's subjects Heb. 1:6-14; 2:5-9; Rev. 12:7-12.
Satan's angels who are loose with him Rev. 12:7-12.
Demons who are loose working with Satan.
This war in Heaven will be the last desperate struggle between spirit-beings in the heavenlies for or against the majesty and Kingdom of God. It will be the culmination of the struggle in Heaven between God and Satan. The first struggle began when Lucifer attempted to exalt his kingdom above the angels of God and dethrone God from His universal kingdom over all other kingdoms in the universe. In his rebellion against God and in his ascension into Heaven and above the clouds from the Earth Isa. 14:12-14 he was cast out of Heaven back down to the ground and was dethroned. Although deprived of his kingdom and exalted position he was not deprived of the power which was his by nature for he still has great power in the heavenlies and over the Earth that was usurped from Adam Eph. 2:2; 6: 12; Jn. 12:31; 14:30; 16:11; Matt. 4:1-11. He still has access to Heaven and accuses the saints before God day and night Job 1:6; 2:1; Rev. 12:10-12; Zech. 3:6.
