God does not finish His diary with his first apostles. True to His eternal context and His promise, "Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he reveals his secret unto his servants the prophets"(Amos 3:7 KJV) Jesus continues journaling. Also true to character, He delivers His revelation in symbolic language, pulling together the metaphors and images He has used throughout His entire previous communication with humanity to portray the final chapters of His saga. Keep in mind, as you read His revelation, that in essence His picture is simple:

• A battle is being played out between Jesus and Satan.
• The battlefield is earth, in the hearts and minds of humanity.
• The Devil has his groups of pawns and followers, however deceived and unaware.

• The "Blasphemous Beast from the Sea"
• The "Beast from the Earth"
• The "Harlot Woman", "Babylon"
• The majority of earth’s people

• God has His followers, undeceived and watching.

• The pure "Woman"
• The martyrs
• The "Bride"
• Those who keep God’s commandments and have the spirit of prophecy
• A minority of earth’s people

• As history unfolds the Devil’s pawns and followers hold earth’s power and appear to be in the right.
• God’s true followers consistently remain the persecuted minority.
• After many wake up calls to the deceived pawns of Satan and messages, warning and begging them to come out of Satan’s false belief system, Jesus returns to earth and ends the battle.

Take note of the restoration Jesus offers those who keep His commandments and have His faith; new world, new home, new life, new everything. And enjoy the blessing God has promised to those who read His revelation.
