Backdrop for these three verses can be found in Re.12.9 "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." Compare the verse with reference to Satan in v.2: the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years," Curious construction 'serpent, devil and Satan' touches upon the fall of man, the second with reference to his works and Satan as adversary in heaven. The tail of the dragon causes the angel lose their first state. "And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth"(Rev.12.4) The emergence of mighty men "the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."(Gen.6.4). Here we see the emergence of the sons of perdition, the beasts in the history of ungodly nations of whom Antiochus IV is preeminent. He is an usurper, historically as well as in spiritual terms. The same 'little horn' reappears in the book of the Revelation. (Rev.11.7 and 13.1)
Revolt of angels we find mentioned in Daniel. Devil loses his place in heavens "the judgment was set, and the books were opened."(Dan.7.10)
The war in heaven has now shifted to the earth. "Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time."(Rev.12.12)
How short is this short time? "And bound him a thousand years." According to the day seems a thumb rule. "be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."(2 Pet.3.8)
In this para. "How short is this short time? "And bound him a thousand years." According to the day seems a thumb rule. "be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."(2 Pet.3.8)"
is a fragment.

"be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."(2 Pet.3.8) The Ancient of days has set the day so we shall not pry into what is left to His discretion. Be that as it may The Law of the Spirit is sovereign whether one makes seven days beginning with day of salvation, day of regeneration etc., Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. (Heb.13.8)"
