When during the tribulation do the events of Revelation 12 happen?
The events of Revelation 12, including the war in heaven, occur at the midpoint of the seven-year tribulation, at the end of the first three and a half years. At that time a series of events take place almost simultaneously, and Michael and his angels fight against Satan and his angels.
Les explains that according to the chronology of the book of Revelation, this great event takes place at the midpoint of the seven years, at the end of the first three and a half years. He notes that at that midpoint a whole series of things take place almost simultaneously, and Revelation chapter 12, beginning at verse 7, is one of those events. In that passage, Michael and his angels fight against the dragon, Satan, and his angels. Satan and his angels do not prevail, and their place is no longer found in heaven. The great dragon, that old serpent called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world, is cast out into the earth. Les emphasizes taking this literally.
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
