  Fallen angel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This hypothesis was first put forth by Origen of Alexandria, one of the most distinguished Fathers of the early Christian Church.
Consequently, the Grigori began to reveal to man some of the secrets of Heaven, such as the movement of the heavenly bodies (astrology), the art of making weapons (armory), and also the enhancement of the face and body with perfumes and make-up (vanity).
Most likely, the presence of this myth in both the Muslim and Christian religions can be traced back to the first century AD and the "Book of Adam and Eve", which was popular reading among early Christians, and would have certainly found its way into secular life as well.

 War in Heaven
In the first portion of this chapter we found a description of the two signs in heaven; and we discussed the identity of each sign, as well as their mutual relation and the attitude of the second against the first.
First of all, it is against the simple meaning of the text to make of the man child the church invisible instead of the Christ.
At the same time that the devil carries on a war upon earth and watches the church, in order to devour the Christ as soon as He is born, or even to prevent His birth, he also wages war in heaven with the spiritual powers that remain standing.

Their defeat was never in question, since God is by nature omnipotent, but Michael was given the honor of victory in the natural order; thus the rise of Christian veneration of the archangel Michael, beginning at Monte Gargano in 493, reflects the full incorporation of demons into Christianity.
God then cast his enemies from Heaven to the abyss, into a newly created prison called Hell (allusions to such a pit are made in the Book of Revelation, as pits of sulphur and fire) where all his enemies should be sentenced to an eternal existence of pain and misery.
The first time Satan did this was in the earthly paradise or Garden of Eden to tempt Eve, who subsequently drew her husband Adam into her crime.

 Amazon.com: War under Heaven: Pontiac, the Indian Nations, and the British Empire: Books: Gregory Evans Dowd   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Gregory Dowd's "War Under Heaven" is a decent scholarly analysis of the Indian conflict popularly known as Pontiac's War, that bloody uprising against the British along the Eastern frontier in the years immediately after the end of the French and Indian War.
He also attempts to enhance the role played by the spiritual aspect of the war, showing that Pontiac and his followers were greatly influenced by the teachings of the Delaware Prophet and his message of a return to native technologies and lifeways and a rejection of white influence.
This is definately not a military history of the war so much as an analaysis of the causes and outcomes of Pontiac's War and the way Indian-white relations evolved over the course of the years 1760-1765.

 Accent on Mormon Beliefs - The War in Heaven
The apostle John revealed to us, "There was a war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Most Christian churches believe that a war was fought in heaven between Lucifer and Michael, but they have no idea of who Lucifer was, how he came to have angels of his own, what the war was about, and how it was fought.
If you will, the war in heaven was like a political campaign, where each side tries to convince the population to vote for them based on their promises.

 Heaven's War - PopMatters Comic Book Review
Heaven's War is indeed about the supernatural war in heaven, as described in the Bible in Revelations 12:7.
You might have heard it while growing up and maybe still hear it today: there is a war between good and evil; the angels and demons are at odds, and the outcome of their struggle will affect the entire earth.
You can assume that in order to appreciate or even "get" Micah Harris' Heaven's War, one would have to know who the hell Aleister Crowley is, be familiar not only with the works of "The Inklings" but also their personal lives, and have some idea about Biblical matters.

I was ecstatic when I first caught wind of Heaven's War, a graphic novel depicting the fictional adventures of the Inklings, J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Charles Williams in a fight against the plots of the infamous Aleister Crowley.
Appropriately then, it is Williams who is the true protagonist of "Heaven's War." The book opens with a quote from T.S. Eliot, who once stated that if he ever had to spend a night in a haunted house, he would have asked Williams to stay with him.
Heaven's War is definitely worth a read, for a certain type of fantasy fan.

 Amazon.com: War in Heaven: Books: Charles Williams   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Of all his novels, War in Heaven perhaps falls over into the most categories--it's a supernatural thriller that is sort of a detective novel, kind of a suspense novel, in a way about relationships, about self-growth, spiritual search and discovery, but not in a traditional sense.
In "War in Heaven" one gets a glimpse beyond the veil to see ultimate spiritual reality consisting of powers and principalities swarming in defiance of a holy throne even as the King of Light engages all according to his overarching plan and by his undeniable power.
War In Heaven is reminiscent of CS Lewis' cosmic trilogy.

My first encounters with my Vietnamese Catholic family 38 years ago it seemed that everyone was so 'selfish'.
They kept talking about doing the things they were doing to be able to go to heaven, and there seemed little or no awareness of helping others.
Then, as a Prfotestant I encountered many evangelicals who were centered on getting thjemselves to heaven, and later (like the current Syndney evangelical Anglicans) those Protestants (Sydney Anglicans eschew anything Catholic) who save theiir own souls by demanding that I become saved exactly as they are, no exceptions, it seems.

 "Melchizedek, Michael, and War in Heaven"
The theme of the eschatological "war in heaven" between the angelic forces of good and the demonic forces of evil was a topic of great interest in early Jewish and Christian literature.
There is another reference to someone making war at the eschaton in 13.15-16 (the plural subject is unclear), which is immediately preceded by mention of three categories of spiritual beings (?) along with "those [that dwell] in the heavens and those that are [upon] the earth and those that are under the earth" (13.12-15).
It is quite clear that Melchizedek was introduced into the war in heaven myth secondarily, since he appears in the Hebrew Bible as the priest-king of Jerusalem (Gen 14:18-20) and as the patron of a priesthood of the Davidic kings (Ps 110:4).

 David Zindell: War in Heaven - an infinity plus review
This is all counter-pointed by vague warnings of a war between supremely advanced galactic entities, generally recognised as gods, of whom we frustratingly hear nothing but interstellar gossip.
Zindell's writing does have many similarities to that of Olaf Stapledon though, in that a great deal of War in Heaven is a spiritual quest after the meaning of the universe and the role of life therein, with science and technology mostly as background.
The narrators of Stapledon's cosmic voyages were very English, detached observers of a universe indifferent to life, whereas War in Heaven owes a sizeable debt to the 19th century American Transcendentalist poet Walt Whitman.
