I've been reading the book of Revelation and meditating on it. My question is on these verses 'Rev 12:9, 12 & 17'
.
The huge dragon was thrown out- that ancient serpent, called the devil or satan, that deceived the whole world. he was thrown down to earth, and all his angels with him'
Why earth?
vs 12 'And so be glad, you heavens and all you that live there! But how terrible for the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, and he is filled with rage, because he knows that he has only a little time left'
again, why does earth and sea have to accommodate him and his demons until his time is over?
vs17 ' The dragon was furious with the woman and went off to fight against the rest of her descendants, all those who obey God's commandments and are faithful to the truth revealed by Jesus'
This makes me think that the earth is a condemned place and a hostile place for believers, am i right or wrong?
