Shabat Shalom!
The top picture shows the narrow Way of Life to Eternal Heaven, where the Throne of YHWH and Adonai Yeshua is. We cannot see other heavens with our natural eyes, unless we are specifically given the ability to see, as was given to the apostle John.
He was also able to see into other heavens under the influence of the Holy Spirit and was also able to see future great events that have been decided in advance in the Eternal Heaven based on YHWH's eternal wisdom. I, too, once did see glimpse of such a heaven and war angels.
The middle picture shows the visible sky, i.e. space, which is huge and mostly hidden from us, and due to its huge size, it has been little studied.
The bottom picture shows our home planet, which is known to be the most beautiful in this Milky Way galaxy and also the only planet known to be inhabited by intelligent beings, humans.
Why is there war in heaven and on Earth?
We read the verses: Isa. 24:5-6 and 19-23. We notice from verse 21 that what is happening to the inhabitants of the earth is most obviously due to what 'the Army of the height' has caused to happen on the earth.
>>5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left...
19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. 20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. 21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that YHWH shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited. 23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when YHWH Tzva'ot shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.<<
Wars are caused by rebellion against Elohim. There is rebellion in the heavens, and also on earth at the instigation of the Devil and his angels to stupid and sin-loving people.
I base this on what the apostle Paul teaches us in Eph. 6:10-18
>>10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in Adonai, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of Elohim, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of Elohim, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Spirit beings of evil refer to the Devil and his angels, whose goal from the beginning has been the destruction of humanity. They are unfortunately very successful in their goal, which is evident from the above verse Isa. 24:5 >>"The earth is defiled under its inhabitants, for they have broken the laws, changed the commandments, rejected the eternal covenant.<<
As it was in the time of Noah, so shall it be in the time of the last end of the verse according to Isa. 24:6 >>"...and a few people will remain."<<
How can we followers of Yeshua help others?
Adonai Yeshua has called us to be light and salt among the people of this fallen world. We are called to live a life consecrated to the Creator so that it is also visible on the outside and to do acts of love to help our neighbors in need.
Our most important task is to proclaim the Eternal Message of Salvation about our risen Savior, who has atoned for our sins and is powerful to transform into a new spiritual creation every person who comes to him humble and repentant of his sins. This is what he himself assures us: John 6:37
>>All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.<<
We may come to him in faith and beg him to cleanse us from our sins and make us a new spiritual creation with the power to inherit an eternal dwelling in the glory of heaven.
Progress in the life of sanctification is necessary!
Coming to Adonai Yeshua must be followed by constant sanctification in our world of thought and in the area of our outward walk and obedience of faith. The Holy Spirit helps us in that and reminds us of everything that Adonai Yeshua has taught. Otherwise, the next verse cannot be fulfilled in our lives and we will stray away from the Truth! Please, read carefully. Tit. 2:11-14 (Note especially verse 14!)
>>11 For the saving grace of Elohim was manifested to all men, 12 teaching us, that denying the impiety and the worldly desires, soberly and righteously and piously we may live in the present age,
13 waiting for the blessed hope and manifestation of the glory of our great Elohim and Saviour Yeshua HaMashiach, 14 who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;<<
