"I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, now is come...kingdom" (Rev. 12:10)
It is true God's promises may be relevant, applicable, personal, etc...; but perhaps we need to remember God's footstool is in heaven. The verse speaks of "salvation, strength, kingdom, power," and those may be words Christians claim "in the blood;" but especially the third word: kingdom, I couldn't help but think much about when picturing what happened here with Lucifer.
In the Lord's Prayer, we are taught to pray: "Thy Kingdom come." The kingdom Lucifer and his minions were sent to, earth, when cast out of heaven, was thusly condemned. It is as if they were sent to Tonokura out of an Ojana abode. God's Home or Kingdom was full of light, love, truth, humility, goodness; One Day the earthly kingdom will be torn down and sent to an eternal furnace where all will be consumed.
How tragic it would be if inhabitants were not warned their dwellings were headed to the incinerator, slept through the flames! May God use us to sound a clarion call of alarm.
