The Apocalypse, a book rich in symbols and complex to read, presents the Christian community, which has the faith of Jesus and observes God's commandments, as a pilgrim and minority church that carries in its heart the fire of hope for the Lord's coming. Centuries and millennia pass, but that fire remains unquenched, and even though they live in a world hostile to God, Christians know that their task is to follow Christ, walking in his footsteps and embracing his love. It is entirely pointless to argue about the Church's alleged triumphalism, because anyone tempted to counterfeit the Kingdom of God, believing they can establish it on earth through ecclesiastical-political power, is destined to be "vomited" from the mouth of the risen Christ, ultimately losing forever the peace, bliss, and happiness of being with God for eternity.
