Cast Down!

Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.  Revelation 12:10

First I must admit that I cannot answer all of the questions that arise from just this one verse. We may all admit to some relief though that at the time of this event in Heaven, we lose a powerful enemy at court. We may not have grasped just yet how serious it is to have this voice accusing us before God day and night. As if our own record was not bad enough, to have it presented constantly before the Lord God does not appear to do us any good. However, there seems to be a dual celebration here: Christ's power, kingdom, strength, and salvation have come, and that accuser is cast down. We can only learn from this that one must have everything to do with the other since the celebration begins with 'now'. It is a new day in Heaven as the Accuser is cast down, and a new day for us as our Savior has won the victory. 

And for that we celebrate our Lord Jesus Christ!
