Unfortunately, Sarah, you apply this to the Church, which is no where
in the context. It's primary application is to the Jews who are in the
context. The "kingdom" is not some imagined eternal state for Jehovah
false Witnesses. It is the Davidic Kingdom of the covenants made with
Israel. It is nothing less than the Millennial Kingdom. So reading
your bible, though very admirable, is not enough. One must have true
faith, believing Christ is God and that the Holy Spirit is God as well,
instructing us in the truth of His revelation. Without the Spirit, you
are only capacitated to humanistically reason what this or that passage
speaks of. Word & the Spirit. You must have both or you have nothing
at all.

Evil One. Satan. The greatest of all created beings, the chief among
all angels, whom even Michael would not contest for Satan's authority,
even in his fallen state was greater. Therefore Michael, as all mature
Christian can identify with, derived his authority from the Lord to
rebuke Satan.

Again, "Kingdom" in the context is the Millennial hope of the Jews.
However, prior to its advent will come the "Great Tribulation." The
believing rememant of Israel is instructed to pray for deliverance from
Satan and the man of lawlessness who will disperse the Jews from their
homeland and hunt them dow
