How many times is Satan cast out of heaven?

It would seem to me that this could (and did) only occur once during the mission of the seventy-two.

Luke 10:18
Jesus said, "I have observed Satan fall like lightning from the sky."

Revelations 12:9
The huge dragon, the ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole world, was thrown down to earth, and its angels were thrown down with it.

Yet sometimes people try to tell me Revelations 12 hasn't happened yet?

In the time of Job Satan was allowed into "heaven," even though this was after his rebellion in heaven was put down.

Job 1
6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

sulphur, this is a Christian Only forum.  You, being an agnostic, are not allowed to post here.  I have told you this before.  Now I have given you an official warning.  Continuing to post in CO forums will result in a suspension of your posting privileges.

God bless

dear reformtionist,
I understand what you say.But perhaps those that have some knowledge can add to sensible discussion .I have been baptised and con firmed in the anglican church and I could take communion at that church without question. The only difference between us is faith and I have seen enough to make me doubt.I do not deny the existance of god nor am I saying there is no god. Iwill find out when I die
In death there is peace

I am not, nor have I ever said that you would not add something to the discussion.  You and I both are subject to the rules of this forum.  One of those rules is that those who are not Christian, that would be you, are not authorized to participate in discussions in the CO forums.  You are the one with doubts about your faith.  No offense sulphur but why would a Christian want an opinion about Christian theological issues from someone who has no faith in God?  I am going to go ahead and not officially warn you again for posting here again.  However, if you continue to do so, even for the purposes of questioning this ruling, you will be warned and eventually have your posting privileges suspended.  Feel free to PM me if you have further questions.

God bless
