(The Segulah of Learning Zera Shimshon)
The Midrash in Bamidbar Rabbah (2:2) tells us that at the time of Matan Torah Bnei Yisroel saw that the malachim were grouped around flags, and they said that they wanted flags as well. Hashem told Moshe to make them flags as they desired.
The purpose of a flag is such that everyone knows their place and peace reigns in the camp. The angels have flags, and so they get along well. Bnei Yisroel wanted this everlasting peace as well.
When there is peace nothing can harm us. The flags unify each shevet and delineate where everyone is supposed to be and thus what they are supposed to do. When this is clear, there is shalom. The Satan's source of power is confusion and lack of clarity, which causes machlokes among people. Shalom is a kli that holds bracha.
When there is peace among us, the Satan cannot harm us.
