Jesus is the glorious Son of Man, the High Priest of his people, and the Lamb who redeemed us by his blood – Revelation 1:9-20. Jesus is the faithful High Priest who oversees the churches of Asia. He is the exalted Son of Man who will return at the end of the age to gather and vindicate his saints. And he is the reigning Lamb who purchased men and women by his blood and made them priests for his God.

Satan attacks the Church daily, but his efforts will culminate in one last desperate attempt to destroy the saints of Jesus Christ . The Book of Revelation uses language from the seventh chapter of Daniel to describe Satan’s “war” against the Church. This war manifests in the daily lives of the churches as Christians face challenges from deception, economic loss, persecution, and even martyrdom. The language of war is metaphorical in Revelation .

Satan fait la guerre quotidiennement aux saints, et ses efforts culmineront dans une dernière tentative désespérée de détruire l'Église . Le Livre de l'Apocalypse utilise le langage du septième chapitre de Daniel pour décrire “la guerre” de Satan contre l'Église. Cette guerre se manifeste dans la vie quotidienne des Églises alors que les chrétiens sont confrontés à des défis de tromperie, de pertes économiques, de persécution et même de martyre. Le langage de la guerre est métaphorique dans l'Apocalypse .

Jesus will arrive at the end of the present age to deliver and reward his saints, and to judge and punish his enemies . Jesus will arrive “ on the clouds of heaven ,” as promised in the Scriptures. The coming of the Son of Man will result in the completion of the Kingdom of God, the end of death itself, the gathering of the saints to be with Jesus, the arrival of the New Creation, and the final judgment of men and nations.

Jésus arrivera à la fin de l'âge actuel, récompensant ses saints mais jugeant et condamnant ses ennemis . Jésus arrivera à la fin de l'âge “ sur les nuées du ciel ", comme promis dans les Écritures. Le Jour du Seigneur signifiera l'achèvement du Royaume de Dieu, la fin de la mort, la nouvelle création et le jugement de tous les hommes.
