And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,.....And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Revelation 12:7,9
* The first time the "world" wondered after the beast......the beast of the field, that old serpent....
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?....and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Genesis 3:1,6
* The last time the world wonders after the beast.......a front for that old serpent....
