6 And [kai] he opened [anoigo] his [autos] mouth [stoma] in [eis] blasphemy [blasphemia] against [pros] God, [theos] to blaspheme [blasphemeo] his [autos] name, [onoma] and [kai] his [autos] tabernacle, [skene] and [kai] them that dwell [skenoo] in [en] heaven. [ouranos] KJV-Interlinear
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven. NASB
The quintessence of sour grapes when one is defeated. Satan has been evicted by force, from heaven and has nowhere to go, except to earth, in order to preserve himself.
He has had open access to heaven and to God for many thousands of years, if not more. And when the middle of the Tribulation arrives, he will be driven out from heaven, and will no longer have the ear of God. His case, his argument is essentially finished. He has lost and he is in panic and desperation.
He is facing the Lake of Fire for all of eternity and he probably, better than most, knows exactly what that means. And, he does not like it.
Thus the open criticism, and complaint, and ridicule, and derision of God.
Satan does not stop with insults toward God the Father. Have you ever heard someone complain against someone else that they really hate? They criticize or mock their mother, their dad, their siblings, their home, their family, they complain about everyone and everything connected with them?
Is this not a typical characteristic of a five-year old?
And so, Satan will have gone full circle, from the greatest of all the angels, to an immature child.
He, through the anti-christ, will criticize God and His reputation. He will criticize His home or dwelling. He will criticize His family (believers and angels).
