Based off illustrations my first guess is a spear, then my second is a sword.
Old Scratch seems to be alive and well...
Opened up a can of divine whup-ass, one would suppose...
About 30 years ago I was doing exorcisms with a lot of success. It was a hot summer evening, and suddenly the room got freezing cold. I mean cold like a blast freezer that chilled you to the bone. Satan appeared as he was upset with what was happening.
I turned to Archangel Michael and said “Ther he is. You can get him.”
Archangel Michael replied, “It’s not time yet.”
That was the last day of my war on evil as I realized that God is in control and everything is unfolding according to His Plan on His timetable.
God is using evil for a purpose.
While I still encounter evil and occasionally must deal with it, I treat it like a string around my finger to remind me to pray. I just face it and with a heartfelt thanks, say to it “Thank You for reminding me to Pray.” They hate that and quickly flee.
The weeds described in Matthew 13 are here full force right now.

Years ago when Archangel Michael firt appeared to me, I asked Him His name. He replied “Mi-Ki-El.”
He appears as a bright liquid Light and my heart radiates His profound Love when He is present. He is as real as can be.
I met Him several times before I realized that “Mi-Ki-El” was Michael...
Satan is very afraid of Michael’s Light and Love. I’ve always perceived it as a sword in reality, but have seen statues where He holds a spear.
He is always near, and there to help when asked. However, often He would hold back and expect me to do battle for the experience to get better at it. I’ve been stung many times and trust He will always rescue me.
While stationed on Ft Hood in the early 90s, we had a priest that spent considerable time in Italy as an Exorcist. One day we asked him what an exorcism is like. He responded that he had a hard time detailing his experiences. However said, just watch the Exorcist (movie), and you’ll get a perfect example of what he endured.
Everybody was kung fu fighting
Good question. It was Michael that fought Satan for the body of Moses, right? He is also ISRAEL’s angel. Each nation has one according to the Booki of Daniel.
We purchased a copy of the prayer to St. Michael for our wall after we heard President Trump quote it. We are NOT Catholic in the least. Christian, yes.
If Satan has been defeated and locked up in the abyss, who keeps letting him out?
This is good. VERY good.
And I’m technically a “protestant”.
Thank you for the enlightening post.
Two sentences = [Catholic] blog pimping. Do not feed.
Didn’t Michael use King Solomon?
How? Strange question but oddly also answered in Jude: “But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord rebuke you!””

How do you defeat something that can’t die?
Looks more like, instead of defeating Satan he turned him loose on Earth...
A blogger??
Rev. 12 refers to a second war in heaven that takes place before the Great Tribulation. The first rebellion of Lucifer occurred after God created the heaven and earth (Gen. 1:2, Isaiah 14, Ezekiel 28). Lucifer (Satan) and one third of the angels were cast out of the third heaven to dwell in the second heaven.
The second war is being fought now and when it is over, Satan and his angels will be cast out of the second heaven to earth. Then the end of days will begin.
“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.” Rev. 12:9
