Revelation
The book of Revelation is one of the most mysterious and differently explained books of the New Testament. It has a lot of mystics, unexplained and symbolic meanings and deals mostly with the future fight of God against Satan. After resurrection Jesus told his disciples that he would go to his heavenly father but will come back in order to judge everyone for whom he suffered of the cross and to establish his order on the Earth. The theme of punishment, the theme of war of god against Satan and heavenly life at the end for those who obeyed God and followed his commandments form the body of St. John's book of Revelation.
Revelation is a set of stories that describe the main theme of fight of God and Satan for supremacy over the earth and people. The main significant point in the revelation is that Christ's Angel betrays and throws down his lord. It causes chaos and disorder al over. God revenges by sending 14 plagues on earth (also known as 7 trumpets and 7 last plagues). Then John describes the coming of Jesus Christ his second coming when Jesus resurrects those who obeyed him and those who are still living a righteous life to the heaven. Those who rebelled against him are killed and the earth is ruined to ashes. Satan remains on the earth for one thousand more years. After that time elapses, Jesus returns to the earth to found New Jerusalem and set his kingdom on earth. Satan resurrects all wicked who died and perished before and orders them to attack New Jerusalem. Satan's army is stopped by God and is judged (executionary judgment), they receive final penalty and are sentenced to be burning in the lake of fire. This fire also purifies the earth and God establishes his kingdom of love and grace for those who were righteous.
