NASB | Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was thrown down, the age-old serpent who is called the devil and Satan, he who continually deceives and seduces the entire inhabited world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. [Gen 3:1, 14, 15; Zech 3:1; John 13:2; 2 Cor 11:3; Rev 20:8] |
Bible Question: Can anyone tell me where in the Bible is the account of Satan being cast out of heaven? I know he was a fallen angel, but I can't find the account of what happened. Thanks for any help!! |
Bible Answer: Emmaus, thanks for your response to my question--now I have another! Is it generally held that Satan was cast out of heaven before the time of Adam? If so, he obviously still had access to God and heaven [Job 1 -2, for example]. Would that mean that the account we read of the dragon [Satan] in John's vision in Rev. 12 being hurled to the earth perhaps mean his final exclusion from access to God and heaven? Is it generally held that this will occur at the beginning of the period of tribulation? Thanks for the assistance! |
