All [is] not bliss. There [is] no promise of relief from suffering outside of death. The picture John [the Revelator] portrayed [gives] no illusion of peace but of an extended period of warfare. The future, until the end of time, [is] to be ruled by Satan who . . . [will] fight desparately using his minions both incorporeal and mortal. (Richard D. Draper, 1991, Opening the Seven Seals: The Visions of John the Revelator, Deseret Book Company, p. 8)
