Purpose, Reason and Function

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

(1 Peter 3:15) KJV

The war in heaven which led to Satan being banished to Earth isn’t some terrible mistake that happened. It’s the working out of God’s will with the eventual goal of a place where he dwells in perpetual light with his people.
