REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Twenty Eight -Waging War Against the Holy Ones - Continue

 This seemed like a victory for Satan and his organization.  But it could bring them no long-term benefits, since no one in Satan's visible organization had his name written in "the scroll of life of the Lamb."  Figuratively, this scroll contains the names of those who will rule with Jesus in his heavenly Kingdom.  The first names were written  in it at Pentecost 33 C.E.  And in the years since then, more and more names have been added. Since 1918, the sealing of the remaining ones of the 144,000 Kingdom  heirs has been proceeding to completion.  Soon the names of all of them will be written indelibly in the Lamb's scroll of life. As for the opposers who worship the wild beast, not one of these will have his name written in that scroll.  So any apparent victory these may have over "the holy ones " is an empty one,  merely temporary.
