Apocalipsis 12:8

8 pero no pudieron vencer, y ya no hubo lugar para ellos en el cielo.

Apocalipsis 12:8 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 12:8

And prevailed not
That is, the dragon, or the devil, and his angels, prevailed not against Michael and his angels; but, on the other hand, were conquered by them, as the above tyrants were by Constantine and Theodosius: some copies read in the singular number, "and he prevailed not", as the Alexandrian copy, the Complutensian edition the Arabic and Ethiopic versions; and other copies in the plural number, "they prevailed not": and as the Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions:

neither was their place found any more in heaven;
in the Roman empire; or "his place", as some copies and versions: this was the time of the judgment of the world, or of the empire as Pagan; Satan the prince of the world, who had long governed in it, was now cast out of all power and authority in it, and all the idol gods in whom he was worshipped, with all the idolatrous priests; nor were there any more any Heathen emperors, for after Constantine's time there was only Julian the apostate, and who reigned but a little while; and after Theodosius, who cleared the empire of Paganism, there never was any, and there is reason to believe there never will be.

Apocalipsis 12:8 In-Context

6 Y la mujer huyó al desierto, a un lugar que Dios le había preparado para que allí la sustentaran durante mil doscientos sesenta días.

7 Se desató entonces una guerra en el cielo: Miguel y sus ángeles combatieron al dragón; este y sus ángeles, a su vez, les hicieron frente,

8 pero no pudieron vencer, y ya no hubo lugar para ellos en el cielo.

9 Así fue expulsado el gran dragón, aquella serpiente antigua que se llama Diablo y Satanás, y que engaña al mundo entero. Junto con sus ángeles, fue arrojado a la tierra.

10 Luego oí en el cielo un gran clamor:«Han llegado ya la salvación y el poder y el reino de nuestro Dios;ha llegado ya la autoridad de su Cristo.Porque ha sido expulsadoel acusador de nuestros hermanos,el que los acusaba día y noche delante de nuestro Dios.
