He highlights the Church's heavenly calling amidst tribulations, both external and internal, leading to a period of confusion and suffering. Despite these challenges, Stephen reassures that God has a purpose in these trials, aiming to bring forth the reality of the testimony of Jesus, represented by a male child. This testimony is crucial, as it signifies the Church's role in overcoming Satan's accusations through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. Stephen stresses the importance of declaring one's faith, even in the face of persecution, and the necessity of loving not one's life, which leads to true victory. He concludes by affirming that the testimony of Jesus is powerful, capable of overthrowing the enemy and paving the way for Christ's return. The message calls for believers to embrace their identity as overcomers, relying on God's strength and grace.
