CHAPTER II/The Victorious Fighters of Armageddon -- Continue

 At that battle the once self-sacrificing Son of God must, our of  his supreme love of God, play a different part, that of a Fighter bruising the original Serpent in the head and destroying the "kings of the entire inhabited earth "and all their patriotic backers. Then will occur the "revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels in a flaming fire, as he brings due punishment upon those who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus. These very ones will pay the penalty of everlasting destruction from before the Lord and from the glory of his strength, at the time he comes to be glorified in connection with his holy ones." The fight at Armageddon will be righteous on the part of God and of Jesus Christ, even if it does mean the greatest tribulation since the world's beginning.  "It is righteous on God's part to repay tribulation to those who make tribulation to you." - 2 THESSALONIANS1:6-10, NW; MATTHEW 24:21.
