See Revelation 20:7-22:21...
Christ is pictured as a conqueror over death (1:18; 2:8), Hades (1:18), the dragon (12:9–11; 20:10), the beast (15:2; 19:20; 20:10), the false prophet (19:20; 20:10), and all those who worship the beast (19:20). In other words, He will conquer everyone and everything that opposes Him. Those who pledge their allegiance to the lamb will one day reign with him in the new heavens and the new earth once he returns victoriously to rescue his people and finally and fully defeat his enemies.
Revelation takes us to the time when our prayers will finally be fully answered. The Lord’s name will be hallowed by everyone, His kingdom will come, and His will will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
