Of all the angels, Lucifer was chief;
Filled with pride, he dreamed to be King of kings;
God had planned His Son, which enraged the thief;
He stalked Mary, to eat Whom her womb brings!
God's Spirit snatched the Babe safe to the throne.
Lucifer mustered angels, one-third count;
Waged war on God, to make heaven his own;
Was cast to earth, banned from the precious fount!
Satan kept on fighting God, meeting man
In Eden, lying, to cause cause him to sin;
Stealing souls from God any way he can;
Thwarting Christ with Islam, deluding men!
Christ's Second Coming will burst his bubble;
With only His voice, He'll end this trouble!
Chapter 12 of the Book of Revelation is an allegory depicting symbolically the entire master plot of how the struggle between good (God) and evil (Satan) began.
"A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: A woman [the virgin Mary] clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head [Catholic doctrine holds that Mary was 'assumed' to heaven alive, made Queen of Heaven by God, wears a crown with 12 stars; 'clothed wirh the sun' means 'sinless perfection or light of God; 'moon under her feet' means the devil or evil subdued]. She was pregnant [with Jesus, the Son of God] and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. Then another sign appeared in heaven: An enormous red dragon [Lucifer, later Satan] with seven heads [roles he assumed in the Bible---serpent, Gabriel whispering the Qur'an into the ear of Mohammed, tempter of Jesus, the False Prophet in the Tribulation, etc.] and ten horns [Islamic kings during the Tribulation] and seven crowns on his heads [fakes]. His tail swept a third of the stars of the sky [the third of all the angels who followed Lucifer into evil]. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child the moment it was born. She gave birth to a son [Jesus], a male child who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was snatched up [by the Holy Spirit] to God and to his throne." (Rev. 12:1-5) [Brackets contain commentary, not scripture]
It is necessary to read the rest of Rev. 12 to learn of the war in heaven; the defeat and expulsion of the traitors; their being cast to the earth; their mission of leading the people away from God; how a bitter Satan always stands by the side of a Christian being judged as prosecutor.
