This is a very important verse to understand what is happening during the GreatTribulation. <br> There is war in heaven.  -> There are the Lord^s angels and -> there are Satan^s angels. <p> In most passages throughout the Bible the term AngelOfTheLord or HisAngel is used to make it clear whose person they represent. <p> In John^s vision those terms are not used.   I suspect this is because He is not told who they represent - only what they do.  We can assume the angels are from the Lord, but that is likely not the case. <p> Jesus tells us that He will send HisAngels to gather the wheat to Him Mat 24:31 and to gather the tares into bundles to be burned Mat 13:41.   He does not tell us of destructive angels which appear in the Revelation.   Since, He did not speak of such, I can only assume that the destructive angels in Revelation are working at the behest of Satan.
