Davila speaks of Song 5 of the Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice as describing "an eschatological war in heaven similar to that found in 11Q13 and to traditions about the archangel Michael in the War Rule and the book of Revelation". [24] He suggests that Melchizedek, who is mentioned both in the Melchizedek document and the fifth song of the Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice, may be a divine warrior who is involved in the conflict with the archangel Michael in the futurist sense.

Revolt retells the classic Christian story of the war in Heaven between angels led by the Archangel Michael and others led by Satan. The war ends with the defeat and casting to Earth of the latter. [2] The plot emphasises themes of protagonists fighting a ruling hierarchy, and attempting to escape it, as well as "hiddenness, delusion, revolution, and epiphany ... a literary exploration of existential choices in an apocalyptic context". [3] It is written, says René Boylesve, with a "deft levity". [4] Mutual antagonism between God and his angels is emphasised, which leads to disgruntlement and ultimately rebellion by the latter. [5] I'm not done, and I'll update this when I am. I know the premise of the story, since it's such a famous work it would be hard not to, so I do plan to finish it, but it's a little excruciating to get through. a refusal to bow down to mankind on the occasion of the creation of man—as in the Armenian, Georgian, and Latin versions of the Life of Adam and Eve. [3] Islamic tradition holds a similar view: Iblis refuses to bow down to Adam. [4] Fred L. Horton (2005). The Melchizedek Tradition. Cambridge University Press. p.81. ISBN 978-0-521-01871-5. The Christian tradition has stories about angelic beings cast down from heaven by God, often presenting the punishment as inflicted in particular on Satan. As a result of linking this motif with the cited passage of the Book of Revelation, the casting of Satan down from heaven, which other versions of the motif present as an action of God himself, has become attributed to the archangel Michael at the conclusion of a war between two groups of angels, of whom (because of the mention of the dragon's tail casting a third of the stars of heaven to the earth) one third are supposed to have been on the side of Satan, in spite of the fact that the casting down of the stars ( Revelation 12:4) is recounted as occurring before the start of the "war in heaven" ( Revelation 12:7).Harrison, Bernard (29 December 2014b).

Maurice d’Esparvieu (moh- REES dehs-pahr- VYEW), a wealthy, lazy young man whose guardian angel is Arcade. After an attempt to dissuade Arcade from his plans, d’Esparvieu regards him with quiet amusement and shares his clothes and his mistress with the angel. The books continued to disappear each night and appear in the pavilion the next morning. Sariette knew no more than he did before. One day a fine talcum scattered on the floor revealed a strange footprint. Some thought it the print of a fairy, others that of a small, dainty woman. At last all was in readiness for the revolt. Hundreds of thousands of rebel angels joined Arcade and presented themselves to Satan, asking him to lead them into the battle against Ialdabaoth. Satan asked them to wait until the next day for his answer. That night he had a dream. He dreamed that he led the rebels against Ialdabaoth and that they were victorious. Satan was crowned king, and he banished Ialdabaoth as He had banished Satan millions of years ago, but Satan dreamed that as he received the praises of mankind and the angels, he became like the other God, Ialdabaoth, and lost his sympathy for humanity. now considered God, or Ialdabaoth, as He was called in Heaven, as only one of the strong men of that kingdom. Ialdabaoth and Satan had battled for the supremacy of that beautiful and rich land, and Ialdabaoth had won. Now there were many other angels on earth who had also assumed human form, thus disobeying Ialdabaoth, and they were also ready to revolt. Arcade was determined to join the rebel angels and lead them to victory against Ialdabaoth.
