Before the End, Satan will launch his final war to exterminate the Church, the men and women who have the Testimony of Jesus . At the end of the present age, Satan will launch his final war to annihilate the Church. Several passages in the  Book of Revelation  describe the ongoing cosmic battle between “ the Dragon ” and “ the Lamb ,” a process that will culminate in this last confrontation on “ the great day of God Almighty ” at the place called ‘Armageddon’.

Avant la Fin, Satan lancera sa guerre finale pour exterminer l'Église, les hommes et les femmes qui ont le Témoignage de Jésus . À la fin de l'âge actuel, Satan lancera sa guerre finale pour anéantir l'Église. Plusieurs passages du  Livre de l'Apocalypse  décrivent la bataille cosmique en cours entre “ le Dragon ” et “ l'Agneau ”, un processus qui culminera dans cette dernière confrontation “ le grand jour du Dieu Tout-Puissant ” à l'endroit appelé ‘Armagédon’.

À la fin de l'âge, Satan lancera sa guerre finale contre les saints, les disciples de l'Agneau . Le  Livre de l'Apocalypse  dépeint la guerre cosmique en cours entre “ le Dragon ” et “ l'Agneau ”. Il est mené sur la Terre alors que les serviteurs de Satan, humains et non humains, cherchent à détruire les disciples de Jésus.  La conclusion de cette guerre affectera l'ensemble du Cosmos. Après la victoire finale de l'Agneau sur ses ennemis, la vie sera changée à jamais dans tout l'Univers, et la mort et le mal ne seront plus.

At the end of the age, Satan will wage his final war on the saints, the followers of the Lamb . The  Book of Revelation  portrays the ongoing Cosmic War between the “ Dragon ” and the “ Lamb .” It is being waged on the Earth as Satan’s servants, both human and nonhuman, seek to destroy the followers of Jesus.  The conclusion of this war will affect the entire Cosmos. Following the Lamb’s final victory over his enemies, life will be changed forever throughout the Universe, and death and evil will be no more.

Several times  Revelation  describes a future war, the final assault by Satan against the followers of Jesus before the judgment and descent of New Jerusalem. In each case, the Greek term translated as “war” is singular, and its noun form is accompanied by the definite article or “the.” It is “ THE war .”

Satan is released from the Abyss and launches his final attack on the saints, but he is the one who is defeated and judged . The time has come for his final demise. The book’s second literary division introduced the enemies of the “ Lamb ” - The “ Dragon ,”  Beast ,” “ False Prophet ,” and “ Babylon. ” In the third division, their destruction occurs in reverse order – “ Babylon ,” the “ Beast ” and the “ False Prophet ” together, and now, the “ Dragon .”

The Rider on the White Horse destroys the beasts from the sea and the earth at the last battle, Armageddon  – Revelation 19:17-21.  In chapter 19 of  Revelation , John sees the destruction of the “ Beast from the sea ” and the “ false prophet ” at the final battle when the “ rider on the white horse ” overthrows the forces of “ Gog and Magog .” The passage does not state where this occurs other than on planet earth. The focus is on the destruction of the two beasts and their consignment to the “ Lake of Fire. ”

The first four “ bowls ” targeted the economy of the  World Empire , and the fifth destroyed its political power. Now, the sixth “ bowl ” unleashes demonic forces that gather the “ kings of the earth ” to the final battle of the “ Great Day of God the Almighty ,” namely, “ Armageddon .”

The “ sixth bowl of wrath ” presents an army led by the “ kings from the east ” from beyond the Euphrates River, a picture derived from prophecies of Babylon's overthrow by the “ Medes and Persians .” At the end of the age, God will use a “pagan” force once again to destroy “ Babylon ,” only this time, “ Mystery Babylon ” of the last days.
