Can you imagine the fury of Satan as he knows that he is about to be cast out of the mid-Heaven?  He was created as one of the most beautiful of all the angels.  From truth in the Word of God, it is believed that he was the Music Director of the heavenly host.  The Son of God clearly stated that He beheld him when he was thrust out of the immediate presence of the Father.  Since that awesome occasion, he has been the “the prince of the power of the air”(Ephesians 2:2).  He directs all evil powers from that location.

The Rapture of the Church will occur immediately before Satan is cast down to the earth.  Actually, the two supernatural moments are almost simultaneous.  This explains the ferocious attack that Satan is waging against the Pre-Tribulation Rapture.  It’s time we labeled the many enemies of the Rapture with clear Biblical facts. Every attack on the Rapture is an attack that is planned by the devil himself.  The Word of God could not have said it any more plainly, “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also”(John 14:3).

Satan has to be on this earth and limited to this earth for the coming Great Tribulation.  He cannot be cast to this earth until the “Restrainer” is removed and the Bride of Christ is caught up to heaven.  To even consider anything different is completely unbiblical.  How could the Holy Spirit fulfill His great office as the Vicar of Christ on earth at the same time that Satan is reigning as the god of this earth?  Presently, Satan is the god of the unholy world system; but, during these seven years, he will be the god of this earth.

Immediately after the Lord Jesus Christ and His host of Angels orchestrate the Rapture and the Saints are safe in the Celestial City, all Hell will break loose in the world between heaven and earth. “And there was war in heaven: 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”(Revelation 12:7-8).  This will truly be a “mother of all battles.”  It is evident that every fallen angel in Satan’s kingdom (except those consigned to the Abyss) is involved.  Every one of these angels will be cast down to the earth with Satan.

I personally believe that Satan and his evil angels have limited control of weather patterns.  The Scripture is clear that Satan and his host have made the world like a wilderness, which would clearly include the atmospheric heavens that connect directly to earth.  “That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?” (Isaiah 14:17).   This was spoken about Satan in his present position.

Once this battle is finished, Holy Angels will begin to preach from the former center of Satan’s domain.  “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people” (Revelation 14:6).   All weather patterns from this war forward through the Great Tribulation will be at the Father’s direction and will mostly be judgmental in action.

There is great finality in the description of Satan’s doom, “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.  And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night” (Revelation 12:9-10).  Even in the midst of the Great Tribulation, it will be good news that Satan has lost his throne.  As I deal with troubled lives, I often find that the great battle is the “imaginations and accusations” that badger people to the point of insanity.   This power to accuse is probably Satan’s greatest scheme, but this ability will be finished.

At this moment Satan will be limited to the earth.  He will still have paranormal powers but will be clearly confined to his earthly schemes.  This will be the darkest period of human existence. Anyone that is considering that the Bride of Christ will still be on earth should see this picture.   It will be Satan’s earth for this very short time.  “Therefore rejoice ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them (the Raptured saints).  Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time”(Revelation 12:12).

Everything in this Prophetic News Alert is actually good news.  It’s an incredible process as we watch God’s judicial rendering of His final judgments of Satan and every fallen angel.  Nothing in this action is vicious or in way less than God’s perfect Holiness cleansing our world for His eternal family.

As we await the Trumpet announcing His coming in the heavens, put on the whole armor of God.  Especially, “take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God”(Ephesians 6:17).  The very atmosphere is charged with “imaginations and accusations” against everything pure and holy and against every child of God.  Listen to nothing that is not in perfect harmony with the Holy Bible.  “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart” (Psalm 37:4)

The devil is in frenzy.  He is working overtime using all of the fiery darts in his arsenal to destroy every soul possible before his time is finished.  Suicide is one of Satan’s primary tools that he uses on someone that he has beguiled to the point of despair.  As America and the world continues to slip toward One World Socialism, watch for anarchy and violence to grow equally.  The Holy Bible promises, “Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken” (Luke 21:26).  Satan and his minions are passionately preparing to turn our world into a wilderness.

Revelation chapter six cannot be completed until after the Rapture, but we can already see the prelude.  “And when he (the Lamb of God) had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.  And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword” (Revelation 6:3-4).  We forget that every act and every evil manifestation of Lucifer must be allowed by prophecy of Scripture or the Sovereign hand of God.  Satan is always on a leash and cannot operate outside God’s allowed scheme.  This is one of the believer’s primary assurances.

The entire population of this world is facing dangerous times.  But the majority of them have absolutely no understanding of what is happening behind the scenes.  The underworld always does everything in their power to hide their actions.  Satan and his demons are invisible unless — in some rare moment — there is a physical manifestation.  I believe these visible acts will become more frequent as the end unfolds.

The political situation in America and almost every nation has come under the sway of evil people that do Satan’s will.  Almost everything they are promoting fits the plans of the underworld.  What could be darker in all the earth than the promotion of the homosexual lifestyle in our public schools?  Our tax dollars are being used to destroy the pure Biblical morals of the next generation.  How could such a thing happen in America? And that’s just the tip of the Iceberg.

The Obama Administration has appointed a man, called his “Safe School Czar.” His name is Kevin Jennings and his accomplishment that merits this appointment is an organization called GLSEN.  That’s short for Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.  His organization has promoted sick sexual education to students as young as 14 years of age and maybe even younger.  I cannot describe what this organization has promoted because it is so gross.  If I did, you would quit reading this PNA.  Believe me the truth is enough to make you frightened.  As educated as I consider myself on evil, this discovery made me stop and weep sitting right here at my desk.

We have got to learn that this battle is not a “flesh and blood” war.  It is a diabolical invasion and Satan is determined to win.   We know he will not win, but that does not change the seriousness of our fight.  The Holy Spirit said, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12).  We will either learn to fight in the Spirit or we will lose.  It’s that simple!  “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints” (Ephesians 6:17-18).  (Please study this entire passage.)

Satan knows all about Revelation chapter twelve and the war that is soon to occur in the second heavens.  Satan is presently the “prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2), and “the god of this world” (II Corinthians 2:2).   This position of great advantage will end when Michael and his host of holy angels engage this liar and thief.  Right now, Satan can appeal to God and can bring his lies of accusation against every saint of God.  Every battle we win now, we win because we pray and struggle to defeat our old flesh and depend only on God and His resources in the Word of God.

The moment Lucifer is cast out of the heavens; he can never leave the confines of the earth.  After his limited earthly powers and struggles during the seven years of the Great Tribulation, he will be cast into the Bottomless Pit.  After spending a thousand years in the Abyss, he will then be cast into the Lake of Fire.  “And there was war in heaven: 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.   And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night” (Revelation 12:7-10).

I hope you now understand why the underworld is trembling.  When Jesus Christ appeared the first time, the fallen angels of Satan were terrified about their future.  If they trembled then, you can understand the level of frenzy they are now experiencing.  Read the description of these demons begging Jesus for mercy, “When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.  (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man.  For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.  And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep (abyss)” (Luke 8:28-31).

Our future is both bright and challenging.  We should rejoice because of what we see on the world scene.  It is clear that the dark underworld is fighting for their final control.  The darkest hour is always just before the dawn of a new day.  We will witness the fury of evil, and every truth in Scripture will be fulfilled.  The wicked will have their last opportunities to manifest the darkness in their heart.

Every person reading this article must prepare if they expect to survive.  Every door in your life that you open to sin or Satan will become an invitation for demons to destroy you.  Remember, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (I Peter 5:8).  The underworld is staffed by a multitude of spirits or fallen angels.  There is more than one for every soul.  Your protection is the blood of Christ and the power of the Holy Ghost.  We are warned to “Neither give place to the devil” (Ephesians 4:27).
