THE DRAGON WAS CAST OUT OF HEAVEN:
Revelation 12:8 "... (That old dragon) prevailed not. Neither was their place found any more in Heaven." Revelation 12:9 " And the great dragon was cast out of Heaven. That old serpent, called the Devil, was cast out. That old Devil called Satan, which deceived the whole world. He was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." The Dragon was the Devil; when he was deceiving the whole World at that time. The Devil tried to destroy the Elects: the Heavens are symbolic meaning those in heavenly places in Christ.
IN HEAVENLY PLACES: Revelation 12:8 "...(That old Devil) prevailed not. Neither was their place found any more in heaven. The Heavens are symbolic, meaning as in Ephesians. Ephesians 1:3 " Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings. Jesus who has blessed us in heavenly places in Christ." Revelation 12:1 "... A Woman was clothed with the Sun." The Woman is symbolic, meaning the Children of God, or the Church. As in Revelation 12:12 " Therefore rejoice, you heavens..." The Heavens are used here as a symbol, meaning: Heavenly Places in Christ. The Ones that the Devil deceived was during the Roman Empire. The Devil deceived those of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Papal States. Those that were deceived were Catholics. Deceived by the Devil working in Heavenly Places. Ephesians 1:3 "... Blessed us in Heavenly places in Christ." The Woman is symbolic meaning, Heavenly Places in Christ. The Priests on Earth, and the, Pope are False Christ's. The Heavenly Places in Christ: these are the Heavenly Places the Devil was cast out of. The Protestants with Michael's Angles got the victory over the Pope, and Priests. They were cast out of the Protestants Heavenly Places in Jesus Christ. The Devil had deceived the World. Deceived them into thinking the Priests and Pope were the right Doctrine. When Martin Luther nailed the 95 Theses to the Door of the Church; this led to the casting out that old Devil. They cast them out of the Protestants Heavenly Places in Jesus Christ. (This is explained in detail in Revelation 12:2 in The Little Book.)
OUR BRETHREN IS CAST DOWN: Revelation 12:10 " And I heard a loud voice saying in Heaven. Now are come salvation, and the strength, and the Kingdom of our God. Now is come the power of his Christ. For the accuser of our brethren is cast down. The accuser that accused them before our God day and night." Their Catholic Brothers were those that called the Protestants Heresies. And now We will go to A loud voice in Heaven from God's Throne, saying, Now is come salvation. Now is come Power to the Protestants, and Strength. The Brothers: the Catholics in Heavenly Places were cast down. The Catholics that accused the Protestants before God as being Heresies were cast down. They are cast down out of the Protestants Salvation. This means: the Catholics no longer dominated their Freedom to Worship. To Worship God in Spirit and Truth. They overcame them by the Blood of the Lamb, and the word of their Testimony. The Protestants loved not their Lives unto the Death. love not their lives unto death This means they were martyred for their Faith in Jesus Christ.
AND THEY OVERCAME BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB: They would not yield to the Priests and the False Christ’s on Earth. Revelation 12:11 " They overcame by the word of their testimony. Before the Reformation God's Elects were martyred in every known way to men. At one time anyone caught with a Piece of the Word of God was martyred. Martyred in many ways: some were burned at the Stake. They Overcame the Dragon that was in the Harlot Churches. They Overcame by the Word of Their Testimony. They would not Yield; even though they were Tortured until they were Martyred. They would not yield to the Priests and the False Christ’s on Earth. THEREFORE REJOICE, YE HEAVENS: Revelation 12:12 " Therefore rejoice, you Heavens, and you that dwell in them.
