All the cards are on the table. Satan has all the kingdoms of earth in his sight. How he covets these and wants them for his own. Even though they are passing away, earthly kingdoms are all he can possess. Heaven is denied to him. Its gates are closed. Michael and his angels have cast him out. So, he roams the world, fighting against my children.

Gradually, his plan unfolds. His strategies change according to the acceptance or rejection given to him. He moves where he can easily conquer. He waits where he finds no acceptance. Like any general, he consolidates his victories and plans his next attack.

In this world, where faith is so weak, he seldom suffers any defeat and almost never is made to withdraw. So it is in the Crimea. He has gobbled it up quickly. It is already in his stomach and what power can make him vomit it up. His hunger grows with each victory. His pride increases.

It is his pride which will be is downfall, as it was in the beginning. I will raise up another Michael, a Michael of earth who will defeat his pride because I will clothe him in my humility.
