A Third of the Stars of Heaven
“And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth:” (Rev 12:4a KJV)
Many see this as the original fall of Satan when he persuaded a third of the angels to follow him. This could be true even is this passage is not a parenthetical account of past events. It could just be identifying what he had done. It could also refer to his destructive power against those that oppose him. If this is the case, John could be using the angels as examples of Satan’s destructive power.
