Satan fears nothing the churches can do. Satan fears no one but God and His Christ. It is only as the churches die to self-will and self-seeking that Christ can work through the saints and destroy the rule of Satan in the heavenlies.

Here is described the work of the last days, the rising of the King of kings within His saints is the beginning of vengeance on the spiritual enemy of God.

Notice the pattern:

Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. (Isaiah 66:7)

This is speaking of the bringing forth of the Lord Jesus. Zion did not travail in order to bring forth Jesus. The Lord was brought forth by a sovereign intervention of God.

Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. (Isaiah 66:8)

Before Zion travailed, the Head, Christ, was born of the Virgin Mary. However, in our day, Zion is entering the travail of the Spirit of God. The result of the travail of the Church will be the "children" mentioned above, that is, the members of the Body of Christ. This is speaking of the travail of the Christian Church to bring forth Christ in the saints. The bringing forth of Christ mentioned in the Old and New Testaments will take place on a large scale in the days just prior to the return of the Lord from Heaven.

My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, (Galatians 4:19)

As soon as Christ has been brought forth in the Church the warlike remnant of Christians will turn their attention to the natural land and people of Israel, for Christ in the saints is the Deliver who will come out of Zion and turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. (Micah 5:3)

And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. (Revelation 12:2)

The bringing forth of Christ within the saints will result in Satan being cast down from his position of authority and power in the heavens.

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. (Revelation 12:5)

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (Revelation 12:9)

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Revelation 12:11)

The events of the last days, including the deliverance of all Israel, depend on the overcoming of the accuser by the bringing forth of Christ in the saints.
