How long was the battle between Lucifer and God?

Question

How long was the battle with the Sons of Light (Michael and the archangels) against the Sons of Darkness (Lucifer and his angels/demons)?

Okay, what I really wanted to know was how long was the battle raging before Lucfier was cast out of heaven?

Answer 1

Adam’s creation to 2006 C.E. = 6,031 years
Adam was alone for an unspecified time before the creation of Eve.
Eve was very very young when she sinned. How else could it be explained that she was so deceived and intrigued by a "talking" Serpent.
At that point in history enmity began between Satan and his followers and the woman, (at first glance "the woman" seems to mean Eve, but in fact means Gods wife-like heavenly faithful creatures) Genesis 3:15
Satan and his hoards remained clearly active in the earth until the flood, whereupon they returned to the spirit realm, and continued more subtly to medal with humans, causing grief both to God and man- check Job 1:6-12

Read Daniel 4:1-17.
Verses 20-37 show that this prophecy had a fulfillment upon Nebuchadnezzar. But it also has a larger fulfillment.
Verses 3 and 17 show that the dream that God gave to King Nebuchadnezzar deals with the Kingdom of God and God’s promise to give it “to the one whom he wants to . . . even the lowliest one of mankind.”
The entire Bible shows that Jehovah’s purpose is for his own Son, Jesus Christ, to rule as His representative over mankind. (Ps. 2:1-8; Dan. 7:13, 14; 1 Cor. 15:23-25; Rev. 11:15; 12:10)
The Bible’s description of Jesus shows that he was indeed “the lowliest one of mankind.” (Phil. 2:7, 8; Matt. 11:28-30)
The prophetic dream, then, points to the time when Jehovah would give rulership over mankind to his own Son.

Rulership over mankind, as represented by the tree and its rootstock, would have “the heart of a beast.” (Dan. 4:16)
The history of mankind would be dominated by governments that displayed the characteristics of wild beasts. In modern times, the bear is commonly used to represent Russia; the eagle, the United States; the lion, Britain; the dragon, China. The Bible also uses wild beasts as symbols of world governments and of the entire global system of human rulership under the influence of Satan. (Dan. 7:2-8, 17, 23; 8:20-22; Rev. 13:1, 2)
As Jesus showed in his prophecy pointing to the conclusion of the system of things, Jerusalem would be “trampled on by the nations, until the appointed times of the nations” were fulfilled. (Luke 21:24)
“Jerusalem” represented the Kingdom of God because its kings were said to sit on “the throne of the kingship of Jehovah.” (1 Chron. 28:4, 5; Matt. 5:34, 35)
So, the Gentile governments, represented by wild beasts, would ‘trample’ on the right of God’s Kingdom to direct human affairs and would themselves hold sway under Satan’s control.—Compare Luke 4:5, 6.

For how long would such governments be permitted to exercise this control before Jehovah gave the Kingdom to Jesus Christ? Daniel 4:16 says “seven times”
The Bible shows that in calculating prophetic time, a day is counted as a year. (Ezek. 4:6; Num. 14:34)
How many “days,” then, are involved? Revelation 1:2, 3 clearly states that 42 months (3 1/2 years) in that prophecy are counted as 1,260 days. Seven years would be twice that, or 2,520 days. Applying the “day for a year” rule would result in 2,520 years.

When did the counting of the “seven times” begin? After Zedekiah, the last king in the typical Kingdom of God, was removed from the throne in Jerusalem by the Babylonians. (Ezek. 21:25-27) Finally, by early October of 607 B.C.E. the last vestige of Jewish sovereignty was gone. By that time the Jewish governor, Gedaliah, who had been left in charge by the Babylonians, had been assassinated, and the remaining Jews had fled to Egypt. (Jeremiah, chapters 40-43)
Reliable Bible chronology indicates that this took place 70 years before 537 B.C.E., the year in which the Jews returned from captivity; that is, it took place by early October of 607 B.C.E. (Jer. 29:10; Dan. 9:2)

Counting 2,520 years from early October of 607 B.C.E. brings us to early October of 1914 C.E.


What happened at that time? Jehovah entrusted rulership over mankind to his own Son, Jesus Christ, glorified in the heavens.—Dan. 7:13, 14. and as you noted, war broke out in heaven.
As already mentioned Adam was alone for an unspecified time before the creation of Eve, so the enmity then has continued for less than 6,031 years, but the "battle" began in 1914 and was concise and swift. The verse you refer to is Revelation 12:7. It goes on to say in verse 12 " be glad you heavens...Woe for the earth..."

There is still so much wickedness on earth!
After Christ was enthroned, Satan and his demons were hurled out of heaven and down to the earth. (Rev. 12:12) Christ as King did not immediately proceed to destroy all who refused to acknowledge Jehovah’s sovereignty and himself as the Messiah. Instead, just as with any Government it takes time to arrange matters and get thing functioning in the way of a new regime. Soon however God, through his appointed King will act to bring about the end of all demonic activity and those who choose to side with it. Rev 20:1-3; 21:1-4

Answer 2

People of the world today, in my opinion have much more 'darkness' than 'lightness'. Generally our mentality are working toward the light, but the battle rages on. Most of us believe the light will prevail we must make that happen! We must know--and not doubt.

Answer 3

Lucifer rebeled against God and wanted to be more powerful than He. God threw Lucifer out of heaven for good, and the fight continues today. Good against evil until Jesus takes His Christian chruch home to be with Him in God's kingdom, and then God destroys this world. God will win this fight.

Answer 4

We are in it right now.

Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies and tricks of the Devil. For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms.
Ephesians 6:11,12

Answer 5

A battle between Satan and God is like a battle between Bambi and Godzilla. Satan is so overpowered it isn't even funny.

Answer 6

Took no time at all....there was no battle, there is no Lucifer.

There is an angel known as 'the satan' who is empowered by God to test us, tempt us and stand as our accuser. Our battle in life is to resist and overcome it.

Answer 7

How do we know it actually happened, any proof?
Or it is just wrote in the bible? Are we supposed to believe it, without any evidence.

Answer 8

It is still going on.
