The Outbreak of Hostilities: War in the Unseen World

And God said,
Let there be lights in the vault of the sky
to separate the day from the night,
and let them serve as signs to mark
sacred times, and days and years.
Genesis 1:14 (NIV) And again,
when God brings His firstborn into the world,
He says: “Let all God’s angels worship Him.” Now about the angels He says:
“He makes His angels winds,
His servants flames of fire.”
Hebrews 1:6-7 (BSB)

I beg you that when I come I may not need to be as bold as I expect
toward those who presume that we live according to the flesh.
For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh.

The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world.
Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
2 Corinthians 10:2-4 (BSB)


For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers, against the authorities,
against the cosmic powers over this present darkness,
against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:12 (ESV)
Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked.
Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return.
Galatians 6:7 (BSB)
