Set in contrast to paradise at rapture, there will be a great deal of pain for those who dwell on the earth who refuse to repent.

Paradise is the destination of the saints at the rapture. We will forever dwell in the presence of the Lord.

Jesus will rapture the church and spare her from the onslaught of His judgment meant for his enemies.

The future is the reign of God in heaven becoming a reality on earth. Christ overcomes the world with judgments and He will reign on the earth with His people.

What the triune God reveals in this book is the imminent coming of the grand finale to history as prophesied in the OT: the second coming of Christ.
