About the Book
There was a war fought in the heavens between the Creator God and Lucifer. That conflict—the insurrection of Lucifer and one third of the angels—was settled aeons ago and resulted in the defeat and expulsion of the angelic rebels from the heavenly realm and their confinement to the earth. The earth has been their prison ever since. Satan was free to go wherever he pleased, but now he is banished to this planet until his folly is played out in the grand humiliation thereby revealing the lie that he has promulgated, that the war has not been won, that he is still warring with God and thus may win. Mankind plays a central role in this grand humiliation and when it is finished there will be no doubt throughout the Cosmos that God reigns supreme.
