Brought to you by the moment that spacetime began.
Does anyone here (most likely Christian but open to any believer in a heaven particularly the Abrahamic heaven) believe in a literal war in heaven occurred?

It also mentions earlier struggles between wicked angels and righteous ones. (Daniel 10:12,13)
I would like to think that the philosophers called it correctly; that heaven is some kind of a peaceful retreat from any physical aggravated disagreements. If heaven is where one goes after one dies, I cant imagine any war in heaven producing any causalities of consequence. Most likely if a war did break out in heaven, it would probably play out like a Tom and Jerry cartoon.
In the book of Job, Satan is a lieutenant of God and seems to be working with God. So if Satan did rebel against God the war in heaven must have occurred after the time of Job. Just a thought.
Yes, the Bible describes this war. (Revelation 12:7-10) It also mentions earlier struggles between wicked angels and righteous ones. (Daniel 10:12,13)
Its all metaphorical dear Watson.
The Urantia Book does a good job of outlining the real 'war' concerning the Lucifer rebellion. Of course, like anything that is unprovable it has to be taken on faith.
Do you think it is important to put faith in this?
What I am expressing is that there are a lot of variables and none of them seem to bolster that heaven is a paradise, Gods kingdom or a place where humans would want to go after death.Heaven was created before any humans were created, so things could have happened there, such as satan kicked out and sent to earth before hand, but I'm not sure about a war.
Can you please explain how that refers to struggles between wicked and righteous angels?
