The Value of Studying End-time Events Why were the believers suffering? How does Paul describe the end-time victory of Christ over Satan and his evil forces at the end of the Tribulation? Believers can become preoccupied with trying to predict end-time events, or they can be impacted by unhealthy fears about the future. We need to be reminded about God’s larger prophetic purposes: Christ could return for the church at any time and, through Him, Satan and evil will ultimately be conquered.
