Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Revelation 12:8

_ _ prevailed not — A and Coptic read, “He prevailed not.” But B and C read as English Version.

_ _ neither — A, B, and C read, “not even” (Greek,oude”): a climax. Not only did they not prevail, but not even their place was found any more in heaven. There are four gradations in the ever deeper downfall of Satan: (1) He is deprived of his heavenly excellency, though having still access to heaven as man’s accuser, up to Christ’s first coming. As heaven was not fully yet opened to man (John 3:13), so it was not yet shut against Satan and his demons. The Old Testament dispensation could not overcome him. (2) From Christ, down to the millennium, he is judicially cast out of heaven as the accuser of the elect, and shortly before the millennium loses his power against Israel, and has sentence of expulsion fully executed on him and his by Michael. His rage on earth is consequently the greater, his power being concentrated on it, especially towards the end, when “he knoweth that he hath but a short time” (Revelation 12:12). (3) He is bound during the millennium (Revelation 20:1-3). (4) After having been loosed for a while, he is cast for ever into the lake of fire.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Revelation 12:1-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Revelation 12:8

And he prevailed not — The dragon himself is principally mentioned; but his angels, likewise, are to be understood. Neither was this place found any more in heaven — So till now he had a place in heaven. How deep a mystery is this! One may compare this with Luke 10:18; Ephesians 2:2; Ephesians 4:8; Ephesians 6:12.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Revelation 12:8

(15) And prevailed not; neither was their (a) place found any more in heaven.

(15) The description of the victory, by the denying of the thing in this verse, and by affirming the opposite in (Revelation 12:9). As Satan gained nothing in heaven, but was by the power of God thrown down into the world of which he is the prince, Christ himself and his elect members standing still by the throne of God.

(a) They were cast out so, that they were never seen any more in heaven.
