When I think of spiritual warfare I think of Satan tempting us, here on Earth, or demons possessing people. However in book six Milton takes a more literal view of the phrase when angels, spiritual beings, are actually in battle. What really stuck out to me about this book though was the idea that Raphael was telling Adam the story of this battle in hopes that Adam would learn from it. Although, angels cannot die and that takes away a little bit of the dramatic effect it is still a war. It makes me wonder if God uses things like war here on Earth to teach us lessons. If everything God does is intentional, then the answer is yes. In that case, it makes me ask the question, why are we so hard headed that it takes extreme things such as war for us to learn?
