The Great Day coming unhindered

Apocalypse 22:6 (NEG79)

6 Et il me dit: Ces paroles sont certaines et véritables; et le Seigneur, le Dieu des esprits des prophètes, a envoyé son ange pour montrer à ses serviteurs les choses qui doivent arriver bientôt.

The Father has given an innumerable multitude from any tribe and race and language, living across the centuries and in far-flung locations, to the Son for redemption. As he goes out to gather his own, Satan (together with his assistants, including kings and merchants, Revelation 12:1–13:18) does what he can to hinder and frustrate Christ’s work. Christ Jesus unfolds the plan of God as recorded in the scroll he unsealed (Revelation 5:1–14) so that his predetermined goal comes to pass. It all happens soon (= with haste). Those whom the Father has given to him are born in different centuries and that cannot be changed. But Christ does overcome every satanic countermove hastily so that Satan cannot hinder the Great Day. Christ is Lord of time.
