When did Lucifer rebel against God, and what does Scripture reveal about the unseen spiritual realm before the dawn of human history? Kymberli M. Cook is joined by Mark M. Yarbrough and Jerry Jenkins to discuss their biblical fiction novel, The Battle for Heaven and Earth, exploring how narrative storytelling can illuminate biblical accounts from eternity past through the fall in Genesis 3. Join them as they examine key passages in Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Job, address common misconceptions about angels and spiritual warfare, and reflect on God’s sovereign reign and ultimate message of hope.
