I have read the Book but have a hard time trying to place prophecy into current events.

The part of your theme that I'm having problems understanding is you make it sound as though it is only recently that Satan have been cast out of Heaven.

It has always been my understanding that these events took place prior to Adam.

It has always been my understanding that these events took place prior to Adam

I've never read or heard that one.

Beginning at Revelation 7:3, it is written, "... Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel."

There was no Israel in Adam's days. Satan is cast out of heaven five chapters after the aforementioned sealing of the servants from the tribes of Israel. To be brief, all events in the Revelation of Jesus Christ occurred after his crucifixion.
