Of course, there is nothing that the rulers of this world can do against Jesus himself. He is in heaven, far out of their reach. But Jesus' brothers, the remaining ones of the woman's seed, are still on earth and apparently vulnerable. (Revelation 12:17) Many of the horns have already demonstrated bitter hostility toward them, and in this way have battled with the Lamb. (Matthew25:40, 45) Soon, though, the time will come for God's Kingdom to "crush and put an end to these kingdoms." (Daniel 2:44) Then, the kings of the earth will be in a fight to the finish with Lamb, as we shall soon see. (Revelation 19:11,12) But here we learn enough to realize that the nations will not succeed. Though they and the UN scarlet-colored wild beast have their "one thought," They cannot defeat the great "Lord of lords and King of kings" nor can they defeat "those called and chosen and faithful with him," which includes his anointed followers still on earth. These too have conquered by keeping integrity in answer to Satan's vile accusations. - ROMANS 8:37-39; REVELATION 12:10, 11.
