Yes, there will be another war in heaven when the Lord is returned.
Revelations 12:7
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels
Revelations 19:11
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

Theoretically, yes. The first would be when Satan rebelled from God and took 1/3 of the angels with him. A future war is when God throws Satan completely out of heaven and doesn't let him accuse from heaven (a role described in the book of Job) anymore. (Revelations 12:7-10) The book of Revelations also mentions a time gap of a thousand years where Satan is bound in chains (Revelations 20:1-3) so he could do a war probably before or after that time.

What an interesting question! Since I don't believe in a literal interpretation of Biblical mythology, I can only speculate and any speculation of mine would be as imaginary as the book of Genesis. I will be very interested, though, to read what is said by those who do believe the Bible literally.
Satan, an angel of light, became proud and turned away from God, was cast out of Heaven and created all the evil, suffering, disease and death in the world. I wonder what would happen if another angel rebelled against God. What would happen then, since evil is already created by the first fallen angel?
Fascinating! Thanks for a great question. I'll sure be interested to hear what answers Christians, especially fundamentalists, come up with. If they dare come up with one at all. In my experience, most Christians are not accustomed to critical thinking.
This should be interesting...

A war between immortals. I wonder how it could possibly be fought. Knowing you cannot kill your enemy...diplomacy the only option? Concessions? After a while you get conceded into a corner. yes. Definitely a challenge. Ultimately, there would be only fear or no fear. Who has the most powerful weapon? God is the Ultimate Weapon. Logically, then, being good ...argh!!!

No God only allows one war. Unlike Americans who must have at least one minor war per president. Which could drag on if he is reelected.

NO, I really don't believe so because God cast all the angles that went against Him out of Heaven.
That's why we have satan on the loose now. He knows he will never be in Heaven again.
