“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.”
The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray - Satan's titles accumulate: serpent (from Genesis 3), devil (slanderer), and the deceiver of all nations. His defeat is both cosmic and immediate, a realized eschatology flowing from Christ's victory.
