And Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (JKV Revelation 12:7-9)
The battles we fight today against the will of God are part of that same war begun before we ever came to earth. Wherever there is hatred, or contention, wherever there is evil calling itself good and good being called evil there is a battle in this war. Wherever good people do nothing while other good people are under siege, there is another front in the conflict. Wherever we try to sit on the fence and not be involved, there the dragon grins, for apathy is as good a tool in his arsenal as is activism.
The final outcome of this war is certain. What is right and good will prevail, the devil and his angels will be cast out where they no longer tempt and confuse and lead away the Children of God. The only question we really need to ask is this: What side am I fighting on?
