The Great Battle in Heaven A Paradigm Out of Order
by Patrick Cooke

We have no way of knowing where the standard script for the mainstream scenario of the end times began. That being the one with all the accepted elements; the popular antichrist, ruling a temporarily peaceful world government and religion, a rebuilt temple, a mark of loyalty, a rapture of church believers, and an end-times sky war with Satan. We can trace it back as far as the early "fathers" of the Universal / Catholic Church, between 300 and 400 years after the ministry of Jesus.
It has endured as the traditional belief, ever since having been reinforced in billions of minds through constant pulpit conditioning. But, no matter where it is found, or what form it is presented, no scriptural backing for those elements is ever presented, except, as was previously stated, the use of out-of-context, Old Testament scripture, with the claim that such scriptures have "dual" or, in some cases, "triple" meaning relevant to the last days.
In Conclusion
As with every other issue that disagrees with mainstream concepts that the satanic UFO proponents so strongly depend upon, this one will also be ignored, or the accusation of being spiritually blind to biblical truth will be charged. But, no matter what tactic is used to rebut the facts presented in this article, one truth is self-evident. Every point made has been presented directly from scripture. To deny these solidly-backed realities is to deny the validity of scripture. We know that Satan once had his own craft to travel the cosmos, but we also know that he was grounded and the power of God is strong enough to keep him bound to Earth. Claiming otherwise is nothing short of denying, not only scriptural reality, but questioning the very power of God to restrain Satan.
At least, when the reader encounters the concept that Satan is engaged in a sky battle against the forces of the returning Christ, this research will give them reason to pause and question its validity. Scripture is certain to trump theory and conjecture.
