Dear Doves,

Why does Jesus, Himself, not do battle with Satan and cast him out of Heaven? I believe that at the same time as Jesus sends the Archangel Michael to battle Satan and cast him out of Heaven, Jesus, Himself, is busy 'rapturing His Church' to Heaven. At the same moment as Satan finds himself here on earth the Church will find itself gone from the earth and be in Heaven. It's the 'Big Switcheroo'.

We know from Scripture that Satan is cast out of Heaven in the 'middle of the seven' ie. the '70th Week of Daniel' because Scripture tells us that Satan has 42 months (1,260 days) of power on earth before the Second Coming. The Church and Satan will not dwell on the earth at the same time. The time-period during which Satan is an 'earth dweller' is called "great tribulation" in Matthew 24 and is the time-period of God's wrath on earth.

A lot of things are going to happen in a "moment" or in the "twinkling of an eye" in the "middle of the seven" ie. the '70th Week of Daniel'.

Come Lord Jesus!
