The Great Ribulation

clearly governed by the angels of the Chalices; see
17:1; 21:9.)
In his fascinating study of T& Ear@ Days of Christiani~
(p. 557), F. W. Farrar draws this conclusion
about the Book of Revelation: “The whole book from
beginning to end teaches the great truths-Christ
shall triumph! Christ’s enemies shall be overcome!
They who hate him shall be destroyed; they who love
him shall be blessed unspeakably. The doom alike of
Jew and of Gentile is already imminent. On Judea
and Jerusalem, on Rome and her Empire, on Nero
and his adorers, the judgment shall fall. Sword and
fire, and famine and pestilence, and storm and
earthquake, and social agony and political terror are
nothing but the woes which are ushering in the Messianic
reign. Old things are rapidly passing away.
The light upon the visage of the old dispensation is
vanishing and fading into dimness, but the face of
Him who is as the sun is already dawning through
the East. The new and final covenant is instantly to
be established amid terrible judgments; and it is to
be so established as to render impossible the continuance
of the Old. Maranatha! The Lord is at hand!
Even so come, Lord Jesus!”
