His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven

Revelation was written by apostle John while in exile on the island of Patmos. The first part, chapters 1 through 3 are addressed to the seven churches. It is not clear if all was visions. But he heard a voice, turned around and saw the Son of Man. Jesus Christ was speaking to him, telling him not to be afraid, and to write all that was spoken and the visions. It is obvious that he wrote in the past: 'I saw', not 'I see'. The reason I'm stressing this, is that those visions are of a future, near or far.

Revelation 12:4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth.
...
7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought,
8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer.
9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”

For some reason, people read these passages, and seem certain they are in our past. It may be, but not to me. To me this is still of the future.
If Satan had already his war in heaven and dragged 1/3 of the angels of heaven (that would be millions of angels) with him, WE would be in a BIG mess, considering what 200 angels did prior to the Flood.
Why would one say the stars are angels? And many do, not just me.
I have a strong belief that the stars, the sun and the moon are NOT inanimate objects, but beings tasked with various trajectories and behavior. "the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken" is the same that is said in Revelation 12:4 "His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth." Assuming the stars are angels, that's a lot of them. Just look at the sky on a clear night, and see the number of stars if one can number them. But it won't happen until just before the return of Christ as it is said in Matthew 24.
It is impossible to not see the correlation between Matthew and John's texts.

Matthew 24:29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

If a BIG mess happens, it won't be for long, because Christ's arrival follows, and he comes with power and great glory.

Jude 1:14 Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints,
15 to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”

Enoch chapter 2 Behold, he comes with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon them, and destroy the wicked, and reprove all the carnal for everything which the sinful and ungodly have done, and committed against him.

When did Satan fall out of the Grace of God? Definitely before the life of Jesus, as he dared to offer the kingdoms of the world to him, and asked Jesus to worship him.
And, from my personal research (probably guided), I can say it was after the year 2363, after Moses. Yes, I know, it's a time frame of nearly 2,000 years. But I can't say any other way. Unless I'm guided to another detail of what I call scriptures.
The book of Jasher chapter 66, tells the story of a man by the name of Job who lived in the land of Uz. And how this man was an advisor of Pharaoh. He advised Pharaoh to kill all the male Israelites.
Without Job, there would have been no Moses. The first chapter of Job describes how Satan and the sons of God came to present themselves in front of God. We can assume until then Satan still had God's good graces.
