“And there was a war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought (against them), but they could not resist, and there was no longer a place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent, called the Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole universe, was cast down to earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
So, have fun, heaven and those who dwell on them! Woe to those who live on earth and at sea! Because the devil has come down to you in great rage, knowing that he has little time left. (12th chapter of the Apocalypse).
