"No other book of the Bible has provoked greater fascination or led to more controversy than Revelation. Its profound mysteries, elusive symbolism, powerful predictions, and colorful language are unparalleled in the rest of Scripture. God promises great blessing to those who study the book of Revelation and heed its message (Rev. 1:3, 22:7). In the midst of the sometimes perplexing details of its visions, God’s final message to humanity remains clear: In the end, good will triumph over evil, wickedness will be judged, and the righteous will receive their rewards."
—Chuck Swindoll, Insights on Revelation
One of the major themes of Revelation is the conflict between God and Satan, which manifests itself in history in the conflict between Christ and the AntiChrist. The kings of the earth bring their armies to fight the war of Armageddon (Revelation 16: 13-16) in a final attempt to confirm the Beast as king of the earth. However, John sets forth the victory of Christ in Revelation 19, ending with a vivid picture of destruction.
