            time,  times  and  half  a  time,  out  of  the  serpent’s
            reach.
                    "Then from his mouth, the serpent spewed
            water  like  a  river,  to  overtake  the  woman  and
            sweep  her  away  with  the  torrent.  But  the  earth
            helped  the  woman  by  opening  its  mouth  and
            swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed
            out of his mouth. Then the dragon was enraged at
            the woman and went off to make war against the
            rest  of  her  offspring,  those  who  obey  God’s
            commandments  and  hold  to  the  testimony  of
            Jesus.” (Revelations 12 1-17)
                    Chapter  7  to  9,  where  it  says,  “And  there
            was war in heaven” refers to the events prior to the
            creation  of  Adam  and  the  physical  universe.  As
            we  have  seen,  we  find in  Genesis 2: 9, God  also
            warning  about  two  trees  in  the  middle  of  the
            Garden of Eden - the Tree of Life, and the Tree of the
            Knowledge of Good and Evil.
                    Understanding  the  role  of  angels,  and
            especially  the  fallen  ones,  this  is  significant
            because  these  trees  are  not  a  separate  situation
            with regard to Lucifer’s fall and his influence on
            human life to this day and beyond.
                    Cast  down  before  the  creation  of  Adam,
            Lucifer, referred to as the Serpent is already on the
            earth.  The  two  trees  with  either  eternal  life  or
            eternal  death  were  there  before  the  creation  of
            Adam, and so God did not tempt Adam with the
            Tree of the knowledge of good and evil as many
