What was the outcome of this battle?

Revelation 12:8 (ESV)

8 but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.

Predictably (in light of Colossians 2:15), the dragon was defeated. The Greek literally says that the dragon did not have strength. Disarmed as he was through Jesus’ victory on the cross, the dragon and his demonic army of fallen angel had no chance against Michael and his angels. Truly, “who is like God?”! As a result, “there was no longer any place for them in heaven.”
