Key: SCHAFF: “When the Lord open his mouth, we should open our ears and hearts”

WHEN SHALL THESE THINGS BE? WHAT SHALL BE THE SIGNS OF THY COMING AND THE END OF THE WORLD? Matt. 24:3-13, Mk. 13:3-13, Lk. 21:7-19, 20-24…4

THE GREAT TRIBULATION continues. Matt. 24:21. The Seven Trumpets continues. Rev. 8:1-9:21. The Expulsion of Satan from Heaven. Rev. 12:7-12

The joy of the heavenly saints and all the host of heaven is the final expulsion of the old serpent from having any access to heaven. We are now looking at the benefits of the expulsion of Satan from heaven

  1. Rev. 12:10. Benefits for the saints. The courts of heaven are closed to Satan. The prosecutor of saints is cast out of heaven once and forever and saints will no longer be accused by him.
  2. Rev. 12:12. Benefits to the inhabitants of heaven. Joy in heaven, Satan no longer have access to heaven.
  3. Rev. 12:12. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth. The devil is come down among them, having great wrath, because he knows he has a short time before been sent to the abyss.
  4. Rev. 12:11. The source of the victory of the Saints.
  1. The blood of the Lamb. Accusations may not always be false, the blood is imperative for us. If God be for us who can be against us. Rom. 8:31-34. Is. 50:7-8
  2. The word of their testimony. Not only what the heart believes, but what the mouth confesses. Rom. 10:6-10, 1Chro. 4:9-10, Num. 14:28-32, cf Num. 13:27-28, 30-32, Num. 14:1-3, 6-9. Note. Jas.3:6-10, 4, Mat. 12:33-35, 37, as the word is spoken, Satan is helpless. 2Cor. 4:13-14.
  3. The willingness to suffer and die for Christ and what they believe. An attitude of not fearing death, putting their lives in jeopardy. Act. 15:26, Heb. 11:17-19, 24-27, Dan. 3:1-6, 12-17, Est. 4:13-16; 5:1-4; 7:1-6. The greatest of all temptation is death. If we maintain a right attitude, Satan is beaten.
