fates of ancient cities-Tyre, Sidon, Ashkelon,
Babylon, Rome-and ancient nations,
Egypt, Chaldea, Persia, Greece, the
Roman Empire-have all been fulfilled

Today countless thousands supposed to

Could it be that the WAR IN HEAVEN
prophesied for our time, in less than 25
more years, could involve not only invisible
spirit-being demons, but also

Here is the prophecy-the TIME, during
the very next few years:
“And there was {most prophecies
speak of FUTURE events in the past
tense, as though they already had happened]
there was WAR IN HEAVEN:
Michael {an archangel of God] and his
angels fought against the dragon [Satan);
and the dragon fought and his angels,
