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, donde tiene lugar aparejado de Dios, para que allí la mantengan mil doscientos sesenta días.
7 Y fue hecha una grande batalla en el cielo: Miguel y sus ángeles lidiaban contra el dragón; y lidiaba el dragón y sus ángeles.
8 Y no prevalecieron, ni su lugar fue más hallado en el cielo.
9 Y fue lanzado fuera aquel gran dragón, que es la serpiente antigua, que es llamado diablo y el Satanás, el cual engaña al mundo entero; y fue arrojado en tierra, y sus ángeles fueron derribados con él.
10 Y oí una grande voz en el cielo que decía: Ahora es hecha en el cielo salvación, y virtud, y Reino de nuestro Dios, y potencia de su Cristo; porque el acusador de nuestros hermanos es ya derribado, el cual los acusaba delante de nuestro Dios día y noche.
