Here's my question - where is the timing of Satan's fall from heaven?

In the New Testament the casting out of Satan is mentioned in 3 places. These are Luke 10, John 12, and in the book of Revelation about chapter 8 or 9 I think.

In Luke 10 Jesus gives his eye witness account of seeing Satan fall from heaven. This event took place as Christ began to empower his disciples to cast out demons.

In John 12 Jesus states that the prince of this world aka Satan is being cast out of this world as the crucifixian begins to take place. I believe this begins the work of the believer to take things away from satans control for the Kingdom of God.

Lastly in Revelation an angelic war takes place resulting in the expulsion of Satan and his angels from heaven.

As a Bible believer I believe Jesus is a credible witness and that Satan was cast out during his lifetime. I believe that the process of casting Satan from the earth began with the crucifixian.

And I believe that Satan regained access to heaven due to the rejection of Jesus by the Jews and the fall of Israel which will result in the angelic war seen in revelation some time in the future.

This last comment I made requires clarification with the scriptures and pertains to dispensation issues. I might get into that headache at some point. LOL!  But I gotta get my computer upgraded first because I`ll need the search engine on Biblegateway.com it`s the best
