🔍 Main Takeaways:
History exiles, but ontology enthrones — The Church may be persecuted, but she reigns hidden in the wilderness, nourished by grace and the mysteries.
Satan is defeated — He is cast down and disarmed, though he rages on earth because he knows his time is short.
The saints overcome — By the blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony, and by not loving their lives to death.
Victory is eternal — The beasts may rise, but their power is temporary. The faithful, marked by God, are eternally secure.
You must choose — Will you live with the eyes of history or the vision of eternity?
🛑 Even when the world demands conformity or spreads fear, the Church is called to resist deception, stand firm in truth, and live as those already seated with Christ in the heavens.
