26 represents the one whom God Most High has kept ready for many ages. He will free the world he created and establish the new order for those who survive.
27 You saw the wind, fire, and storm going out of the man's mouth,
28 and you saw that without the use of a spear or any other weapon he destroyed the great crowd that was advancing to attack him. This means that
29 the time is near when God Most High will begin to free the people on earth.
30 At that time everyone will be close to panic.
31 They will begin to make war against one another, city against city, region against region, nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
32 When that happens, the signs I told you about earlier will take place, and then I will reveal my son, whom you saw as a man coming up out of the sea.
