Revelation 12:11 is the here and now, not 1 second after the Second Coming.Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
A person cannot be under the blood of the Lamb and not be a part of the New Covenant Church of Jesus Christ.
The Capital "C" Church as we use the word today is not found in the entire Book of Revelation.
Individual church bodies in ancient Asia Minor are found.

10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven saying,
“Now have come God’s victory, power and kingship,
and the authority of his Messiah;
because the Accuser of our brothers,
who accuses them day and night before God,
has been thrown out!
11 “They defeated him because of the Lamb’s blood
and because of the message of their witness.
Even when facing death
they did not cling to life.
The Adversary has been defeated each and every day and night for the last 1990 years, that is what the verse says.
I am not the one claiming Satan has been bound for 1990 years. How can it be night and day, if Satan has not been in Heaven until the 7th Trumpet? Are you saying the Blood has not worked for 1990 years, but will start working at the 7th Trumpet? Satan has been in heaven night and day for 1990 years and every night and every day the Blood of The Lamb worked properly and defeated the false accusations of Satan. That is the only way the church has defeated Satan, not by being bound. To claim Satan has been bound is to deny the very night and day application this verse clearly states. They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb. It does not say they overcame him, because he was not truly in heaven, but bound up in sheol. Can you see the difference? How can Satan be tossed out of heaven in 30AD when the 7th Trumpet has not sounded yet? How can Satan be the Adversary night and day for 1990 years in heaven, if bound in sheol during the same 1990 years? The church has not been waiting to overcome Satan at the 7th Trumpet, either. Many in the church live lives undefeated by Satan, when they pleed the blood of Christ.
