The cosmic battle between God and Satan is far greater than any recorded history of War in the natural realm. According to biblical truth, the spiritual warfare between God and Satan determines the destiny of one's soul. 'Thus the spiritual warfare (battle) rages over the eternal destiny of souls whether people know it or not, or believe it', says Norman Rasmusen, founder, Precious Evangelistic Ministries.

Satan is a spirit being created by God. How do we know Satan is a spirit being? Psalms 104:4 states, 'God makes his angels spirits'. Hebrews 1:7 declares 'And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire'. Henceforth, Satan is spiritual and therefore no 'tangible weapons, which man has created can be effective or employed against him and his evil spirits', quoted by got question. org.
