The word 'mountain' means kingdom.
The Kingdom of Babylon is called a 'destroying mountain'.

The devil has ruled the kingdoms of this world over the past ages.
...............Through the betrayal of Adam, Satan has taken authority over the earth.
...............This is plain from the conversation that Satan had with Jesus in the Mount of Temptation.
........Luke 4:5-7
"And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine."

Some say that Michael is really Christ.
That's not possible.... Christ is the Manchild.
He is the head of the Manchild children.
.............When Michael contended with Satan for the body of Moses, he said, "The Lord rebuke thee".
.......Christ never used that kind of language. When he rebuked Satan he said, "Get thee behind me Satan" or "It is written".

The Dragon is anxious to destroy the Manchild right away when he is born because the catching away of the Manchild evidently has a definite connection with Satan's defeat and overthrow in the heavenlies.
.........Michael and his angels war against him.
.......................But in some way the testimony of the saints has an important part in the overthrow of Satan in the heavenlies.

The war that Michael the archangel wages against Satan and his angels is not just one of brute force. That kind of war would be easy for Michael.
.........There is something else involved. There is the aspect of a court trial in which Satan shows why he should keep the bodies of the Saints. A similar dispute took place when Michael contended for the body of Moses.
....................Satan takes up each case spearately and raises charges. He will fight over every single body.
..............................The accused answer and give testimony to dispute Satan's accusations.

Jude 9 also refers to Michael in connection with Moses. He speacks of the archangel's contending for the body of Moses.
...........................................It seems possible that as Satan resisted Michael in fighting for the body of Moses, he may also try to prevent the resurrection of the saints [dead christians].

Daniel 12:1 "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book."
...........In the Book of Daniel we are told that Michael will come to the rescue of the people of God at the time of the end.
He will be particularly active in the end-time events!
The original casting out of Satan from heaven took place before Adam.

The seventh verse speaks of "war in heaven".
In the case of Christ and the Manchild, the prophecy can refer back to the original casting out of Satan.
There are several "casting out of Satan", each forcing him to a lower and more restricted sphere until at last he is locked in the Bottomless Pit.
Prophecy never has primary reference to something that has already happened, but to things in the future.
Satan is cast out of the heavenlies shortly after the Manchild is caught up to heaven.
