Revelation 5 shows Jesus ready to open
the seals and to go forth as the Lion of
the tribe of Judah, "Conquering and to
conquer."
The Gentile Kingdoms have run their
course. The reign of the Antichrist will be
permitted for a brief time to speed the
ripening of the harvest.
But the days will be shortened and Christ
will come and take over the Kingdom of
this world.
