A few years prior to writing Paradise Lost, John Milton lost his vision. In fact, Milton does not hide the reality that his “eyes, that roll in vain…find no dawn”(Paradise Lost, 3.22-23). The light that Milton refers to, however, is not just physical, but it is also spiritual. There is a third type of blindness that Milton addresses, blindness from knowledge.

The great dragon was hurled down―that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray.

REVELATON 12:7-9; 20:1-3 AN EXEGETICAL EXERCISE SATAN DEFEATED – REVELATION 12:7-9 Revelation 12:7 The archangel Michael makes his only appearance within Revelation in this introduction.

Even though Eve was created comparable to Adam as his helper, she refers to Adam as her "Author and Disposer." Furthermore, she says that while God
