Michael vs. Satan
Revelation 12:7-9 “And occurred war (hostile conflict) in Heaven, Michael and the angels of him made war against the dragon. And the dragon warred (he fought back), and the angels of him, and not they had strength (the equivalence of God to prevail) not even place was found of them still in Heaven.
The conclusion being: The prerequisite of ethical perfection is obedience to God.
Revelation 12:9-12 “And was cast the great dragon, the old serpent, being called Devil and Satan the (one) deceiving the whole habitable world, was cast onto the earth, and the angels of him with him were cast. And I heard a great voice saying in Heaven, ‘Now has come into being the salvation and the power and the kingdom of the God of us, and the authority of the Christ of Him, because is thrown down the accuser of the brothers of us (holding to the law and obeying the command of God), the (one) (Satan) accusing them before the God of us day and night. And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb (who obeyed the command and will of God unto death) and because of the word of the witness of them; and they did not love their soul even until death. Because of this, be glad, the heavens and those tabernacling in them. Woe to the ones dwelling on the earth, and in the sea, because the Devil came down to you having great anger, knowing that he has a little time!'”
New Jerusalem
Revelation 21:22 “I (John) did not see a temple (a building) in the city (of New Jerusalem), because the (pristine glory of the) Lord God Almighty and the Lamb (the light bearer) are its temple.”
Revelation 21: 25 “And the [praiseworthy] gates of it [viewed as emblems of justice- seen as symbols of “Grace” and hope for all humanity] not at all may be shut by day- for night will not be there [for the pristine glory of the Lord illumines the city and will reign for ever]- and they [those keeping to the paths of justice- safeguarding the rights and liberties of others while maintaining the boundaries of the law] will [in such a posture] bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.”
