4. Satan accused brethren in front of our Lord God Almighty

Satan Cast to Earth
Rev 12:7-9 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
God had allowed Satan to deceive (test) men since the creation of Adam and Eve. In the last days He has cast Satan and his demons down to earth to pour their full fury against Christians.

Full Wrath of Satan
Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time."
Knowing that his time is short, Satan pours his full wrath and wiles against faithful Christians. At Rapture the coming of our Lord Jesus will kill the Antichrist (incarnate of Satan).
2 Thess 2:8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

Overcoming Satan
Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
We thank God that He will empower Christians with His love, grace and truth, so that:-
1. by the blood of the Lamb
2. by the word of their testimony
3. they love not their lives unto the death
we can overcome the wiles and wrath of Satan.
God will rejoice when He sees a weak, fragile but faithful Christian (a human being) overcoming the powerful and deceptive Satan and his demons.
