A sheep in wolf's clothing.
Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
(Isaiah 29:14) KJV
We’ve demonstrated that Occam’s razor is a philosophical train wreck by comparing the assumptions necessary in heliocentric vs. geocentrospheric cosmologies and through the improbability of the origin of species by evolution.

Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.
(Zechariah 3:1) NASB
Atheism’s accusation: God lies. It’s ironic, and the first logical fallacy. The only way for God to lie is if the Bible is authoritative. The atheist point of view is that the Bible is fiction, a lie, so how can there be contradictions?

But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
(Revelation 21:8) NKJV
An issue regarding the establishment of the Millennial Kingdom which we have to resolve is: What and where is the lake of fire? It may be the planet Venus.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
(1 Peter 5:8) KJV
Something about which there is considerable confusion is the issue of: where is Satan? A lot of people seem to think that’s he’s DJing a wild party in hell right now but that’s not the case.

And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
(Luke 10:18) KJV

(Revelation 12:13) KJV
The history of creation is the working out of the process of purification. Eventually there will be absolute purity in heaven, and there will be only corruption left on Earth. At this time the Earth will be disposed of. The process of purification has several phases, in the Bible these are called dispensations.

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.
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. 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 12:9, 12) KJV
When God created Adam he said this about the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil: “… you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” However, as we know, when Adam ate the fruit he didn’t immediately drop dead. Adam was cursed and he began dying, God’s plan was in effect, but the outward appearance was that nothing had happened.

Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the LORD of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.
(Malachi 3:10) NKJV
It may seem like an odd departure from our discussion of the war in heaven to bring up tithes and offerings, but it may be an important clue. Why a tithe (10%)? What’s the significance of this number?

(Jude 1:6) NKJV

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
(Genesis 3:16) KJV
We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) only know what we’ve been told, but everything that we’ve been told has been given us for a reason. We may ask: what does a prophetic vision of a war in heaven have to do with events on the 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. 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.
(Revelation 12:7-9) KJV
The theological interpretations of this passage are wide ranging. We can’t get into an analytical breakdown of it because all it would do is confuse the issue. We take the position that the universe had to exist in order for this war to have taken place, so therefore it was AFTER the six days of creation.
