Revelation 12:7
“There was war in the sky. Michael and his angels made war on the dragon. The dragon and his angels made war.”
What does Revelation 12:7 mean?
This passage describes a spiritual battle between Michael (often understood as a chief angel or defender) and a dragon (representing Satan or evil forces). The "war in the sky" reflects the biblical view that conflict between good and evil happens not just in the physical world we see, but in the spiritual realm beyond our sight. John is reassuring persecuted Christians that God's forces are actively opposing the powers that cause their suffering, even when that struggle isn't visible to human eyes. It's meant to give hope that evil doesn't have the final say, and that those fighting against darkness are not alone.
