Bible imagery - your thought and actions matter
It will seem like the wicked are prospering and that they don’t have to pay the consequences for sin. This pattern of behavior will flourish for a time. Satan and his archtyrant will terrorize men. Fear will fill their hearts as stability will be lost. The laws and commandments of God will be dismissed by a secular group following their own moral relativism. The Lord will then suddenly appear to the world after the olive harvest of gathering and smash down the wine press, having trampled the wicked. Judgment and reckoning will come upon the unrepentant. The Lord does not delight in destruction. However, he does uphold His laws and justice. Satan will be bound, and the millennium will start.
