All humanity is now involved in a great controversy between Christ
and Satan regarding the character of God, His law, and His sovereignty over the universe. This
conflict originated in heaven when a created being, endowed with freedom of choice, in selfexaltation
became Satan, God’s adversary, and led into rebellion a portion of the angels. He
introduced the spirit of rebellion into this world when he led Adam and Eve into sin. This human
sin resulted in the distortion of the image of God in humanity, the disordering of the created
world, and its eventual devastation at the time of the worldwide flood. Observed by the whole
creation, this world became the arena of the universal conflict, out of which the God of love will
ultimately be vindicated. To assist His people in this controversy, Christ sends the Holy Spirit
and the loyal angels to guide, protect, and sustain them in the way of salvation. (Rev. 12:4-9;
Isa. 14:12-14; Eze. 28:12-18; Gen. 3; Rom. 1:19-32; 5:12-21; 8:19-22; Gen. 6-8; 2 Peter 3:6; 1
Cor. 4:9; Heb. 1:14.)

What happened in the heavens that led to the revolt, what suppoting verses illustrate that there was war/rebellion , How do I make someone believe this is what happened?

Revelation 12:4 along with Matthew 2:16-18.
