I beheld Satan-fall from heaven; the casting of Satan from heaven-probably with allusion to his original fall from heaven-means casting him out of his power over this world. Compare Revelation 12:7-9. This the Saviour saw from eternity in its beginning and completion. Every time that he encountered Satan, he overcame him; and the casting out of devils in his name was a sign and pledge that Satan, the prince of devils, shall, through the progress of His gospel, be finally cast out of all his power over this world.
