Bible commentaries in general view this passage as an eschatological vision of the end of time or as a reference to spiritual warfare within the church, seeing it as "not (as in Milton's Paradise Lost) the story of the origin of Satan/Lucifer as an angel who rebelled against God in primeval times." As a result of linking this motif with the cited passage of the Book of Revelation the casting of Satan down from heaven, which other versions of the motif present as an action of God himself, has become attributed to the Archangel Michael at the conclusion of a war between two groups of angels.

The motif of the fall of Satan and his angels is found in Jewish and Christian angelology and Christian art, and the concept of fallen angels, angels who for their evil actions, in particular for directly rebelling against God, were degraded and condemned to a life of mischief or shame on earth or in a place of punishment is widespread.
