Satan tried, and failed, to overthrow God - an impossible to win rebellion that demonstrated how hopelessly perverted his reasoning powers have become (see Could Satan Repent?). After the battle, he, and the angels who became demons, were cast down to the earth, where they have remained ever since (see The Lame Duck and Why Demons Are Afraid Of You).

In His pre-human form (see Rock Of Ages), Jesus Christ witnessed the battle, and described it to the disciples - "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven." (Luke 10:18). That same Satan was still there for the Temptation of Jesus Christ (see Go Ahead, Jump!)

We naturally think of our world as a very big place, and surely it is. But compared to space, traditionally called Heaven (see A Picture Of Heaven), the earth is just a tiny speck. There is much more happening "out there" than "down here," as scientists using such devices as the Hubble Space Telescope can now readily testify. Nevertheless, Bible Prophecy describes numerous spectacular events and "signs in the heavens" that are set to occur at some time in the future -

• "...the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars [meteorites] will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky..." (Matthew 24:29-30)

• "After He said this, He was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid Him from their sight"..."why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, Who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven" (Acts 1:9,11). See The Return Of Jesus Christ

• "something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea" (Revelation 8:8). See A Huge Mountain, All Ablaze and The Apostle John.

• "a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky" (Revelation 8:10)

• "a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night" (Revelation 8:12). See The Seven Seals

• "And he performed great and powerful signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men" (Revelation 13:13). See The Great False Prophet

• "I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know - God knows. And I know that this man - whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows - was caught up to Paradise. He heard inexpressible things, things that a man is not permitted to tell" (2 Corinthians 12:2-4). See On The Road To Damascus

• "But in keeping with His promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness" (2 Peter 3:13). See Why Were You Born?

Fact Finder: Did the apostle Paul speak of how the stars of the heavens differ?
1 Corinthians 15:41
Note: Paul was very well qualified to make that statement. See 2 Corinthians 12:2-4

How To Receive Your Daily Bible Study CD
(Please read carefully to understand how and why the CDs are available)

This ministry web site, with thousands of Bible studies (including a new study added every day, 365 days a year) is always freely available for everyone. As such, this Daily Bible Study has become a very expensive time and financial commitment for the author and the publisher. Every study, that takes you only minutes to read, takes many hours of work to write, format and technically make available and maintain on the web server. Without help, it would be impossible for this Daily Bible Study web site to continue. That is the simple reality of the situation.

We are not "selling" CDs. The CD is our humble thank you gift to the faithful who realize the importance of making Bible-based Christian teaching available to "all the world" as Christ commanded His servants to do. The map is an actual Daily Bible Study server statistics "snap shot" of visitors to Daily Bible Study at 7 am local time recently. The green bars represent the percentage of visitors to the web site (where on the planet requested pages were being sent to) at that moment in the entire time zone directly above the green bar. The graphic constantly changes through the day like a rolling wave across the world's time zones.

The Daily Bible Study Library CD is not for sale. The Daily Bible Study Library CD is produced as our thank-you gift to each person who actually makes a minimum $10 donation (in US, Canadian, Australian or New Zealand dollars, or 5 UK Pounds, or 5 Euros) to help this ministry to survive. The $10 / 5 Pound / 5 Euro minimum is required because it is the "break-even" cost of producing, handling and mailing the CD - amounts less than $10 / 5 Pounds / 5 Euros are therefore not a donation to this ministry but actually cause an unaffordable financial loss to the author.

The Daily Bible Study CD functions with Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP. The directly-readable CD is designed to be easily and instantly portable from computer to computer. The contents are formatted to appear the same as the online Daily Bible Study web site and will automatically open by means of your computer's standard browser. Complete instructions are included with the CD.
