How can Christians be sure God will win the "Final battle?" Think about it, when Satan [in Christian mythology] rebelled, he had a numbers disadvantage. Around Revelation, he'll have a number's advantage.
See, all I am saying is that the Bible is written like PR for God, remember, any side in a war will say "I will win in the end," but sometimes they lose.
Please, share your thoughts on this observation.

Kapute, recall the wrestling match with Jacob. He is not omnipotent, and yes I have read the bible, hence why I am not a Christian

Okay, so if I have a child, he can not kill me [for response to God created Satan]
In response to the bible verse, please, make sense. Hitler told his people he would win the war, but he did not.

I'm adding this before I choose the best answer, so I can get the point out.
In the Bible, it sings praises of God without much presentation of the other side, except to demonize it. This is much like any ruler at war. Think, if you were ruling a people at war, would you not A: Demonize your enemy, and B: Say that no matter what, you will win?
Of course you would. Rulers do it all the time, and here it is no different [sans the fact it is purely fictional.]

He already won it at the cross. Besides. The Isrealites usually had a numbers disadvantage and God brought them through. Also the creator of all things can destroy all things as well. God specifically used what appeared to be disadvantage so that we could not take credit for his glory and power. Remember Gideon.
Besides how do and earthly weapons stand up to God?

The Bible says "Submit yourself therefore unto God, resist the devil and he will flee from you" (James 4:7)
I do; and he does.
My faith is not theoretical - I was once completely deceived by Satan and was a pawn in his game. Not any more. All authority in heaven and earth has been given to Jesus Christ. I am His; He has saved me, He continues to save me, and I will be forever saved. There is no parity between the Almighty God and one rebellious angel.

God created Satan and God CAN TAKE him out. Before everyone gets their self all in an uproar, God DID create Satan, it was Satan's choice to rebel against God. Satan WAS one of the Guardians of the Mercy Seat in heaven before he rebelled.

but satan did not create the heavens and earth. God did and God created everything there is. i mean if that were true then why doesnt satan just make his own earth and leave. satan cant cause he is not as powerfull as God. there are far better miracles that God allows us to do if we believe. aids are now being healed in Jesus name. cancer same thing in Jesus name. people who never had a leg or arm are being restored in Jesus name. as long as you truly believe in God nothing is impossible

God through Jesus Christ already won the battle 2,000 years ago on the cross, defeated Satan when Christ resurrected from the dead, He defeated Satan, death and redeemed us from the bondage of sins.

He said to them: “Because of YOUR little faith. For truly I say to YOU, If YOU have faith the size of a mustard grain, YOU will say to this mountain, ‘Transfer from here to there,’ and it will transfer, and nothing will be impossible for YOU.” Matthew 17:20

if you'd have read the Bible, you'd know that God is "all -powerful" and can defeat any foe, at any time with no effort at all
