From the Back Cover

A cosmic view of God's plan-from start to finish!

The Bible says that when God laid the foundations of the earth, the angels were watching. In time, one of those angels would be the main player in a rebellion to wrest God of His magnificent creation.

Thus began a battle of epic proportions that leaves today's believer with many questions.

-Why did God allow evil in the first place?
-If evil was defeated at the cross, why does it continue to exist?
-Does spiritual warfare really make a difference?
-How are we to await the end of the age?

In a fascinating, compelling exploration of Scripture, Bible teacher Derek Prince addresses these and many other questions. Focusing on events before the creation of Adam, he also describes Jesus' stunning victory over Satan.

But it is not over yet. Now is the time for God's people to make war on the enemy! Take up your spiritual weapons and follow the King of glory. Peace and assurance await you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spiritual warfare & the Victory over evil., July 4, 2004

This review is from: War in Heaven: God's Epic Battle with Evil (Paperback)

The book describes that although the Holy Bible tells us everything that we need to know for our spiritual benefit, it leaves many questions open to interpretation. Some of these issues are discussed in this book.

In relation to some of these questions the author provides his own personal interpretation of Scripture which is cited as being based upon the result of study, meditation, prayer and practical experience.

Some individual readers may disagree with the writer's own views but that should not detract from such an excellent work which should in my own opinion be required reading on this particular subject.

From the rebellion of the Adamic/human race in the Garden of Eden described in Genesis, the book discusses both the rebellion of Lucifer (the devil/Satan), warfare in the angelic/spiritual realm, the destiny of man and the provision of man's Salvation through Jesus Christ alongside the ultimate victory over Satan & his demonic realm/purposes.

Many issues are addressed as this extremely well written study progresses including "Why did God allow evil in the first place?", "If evil was defeated at the cross, why does it continue to exist?", "Does spiritual warfare make a difference?" and "How are we to await the end of the age?"

This is indeed an essential study for those interested in spiritual warfare and provides indispensable information on so many relevant matters.

I highly recommend this work and would respectfully propose two other books for additional reference; "Your Adversary, The Devil" by Dwight Pentecost & "The Serpent Of Paradise" by Erwin Lutzer. Thank you for your time.

Derek Prince is such a brilliant writer. This book is very easy to read but there is so much knowledge and insight written on the pages of this book. Prince has such a gift of disecting every word of scripture and uncovering literal meaning. I am not much of a reader, but this book is awesome!

I could not put this book down. This is an amazing biblical explanation on the gap theory believed by many Christians and biblical scholars, from Genesis 1:1 to 1:2. Tohu and Bohu are the original greek term that describe a desolateness a result of God's judgment. There are only 3 other parts in the bible that this term is used, and one is in Genesis 1:2. This is a brilliant work that clearly shows there was a prior existence before Genesis, and how and why Satan Fell. This book is power packed with eye opening revelations and understanding. Absolutely brilliant use of scripture that really feeds your Spirit. The Glory be all to God! And thank God for Derek Prince.
