Revelation is full of imagery and symbolism that continues to spark discussion and debate among believers, but the overall impression that we should get from these prophecies is that the end is under God\u2019s full control; in his sovereignty and power He will execute his just wrath upon those who oppose Him, and those who trust Him are secured eternally, though not without temporary hardship. The beast will oppose God\u2019s witnesses and deceive many. The dragon, Satan, will fight for glory and wage war against God\u2019s people. Even so, neither the beast, nor the dragon, nor their followers will escape God\u2019s justice and wrath. God\u2019s faithful ones will be avenged and delivered.
