What Gospel Is Important? - Part 2

Scripture Reading: Revelation 12:7-9
There was “war” in heaven? When I was young, I thought that heaven was a place of eternal peaceful bliss. I was shocked when I read that there was a war in this peaceful abode because I thought that was impossible. Who fought who? The angels: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels. Michael won, and his opponents, led by the old Serpent, or the Devil or Satan, were driven out of heaven and cast down onto the earth.
Revelation 20:1-3:1) “And I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2) And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.
3) And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.”
It is my opinion that this prophecy is being fulfilled today. The story of when the old serpent was released a little before 1517, but in order to understand how it affected America we need to understand more about the history of the state of affairs in the royalties of Scotland and England in the 16th and 17th centuries. I will elaborate more on them later in the sermon.
