Fall of Babylon will be the fall of the Roman Catholic Church, where Jesus will come and kill whoever resides as pope.
Babylon will also include other false christian denominations that are in communion with the Roman Catholic Church. One example of this are denominations that cite the nicene creed, "we believe in one catholic, and apostolic church".
The mark of the beast is and has been here for a long time. It is the sign of the cross (666) made using the right hand and forehead.
The mark represents the image that is worshipped: the crucifix.
The crucifixion of Jesus was Satan's greatest victory until it became Satan's greatest defeat when Christ was resurrected on the third day. The dead man on a cross is what Satan perceives as his greatest victory. Those who worship the crucifix are worshiping what Satan perceives as his greatest victory.
Don't think so. Satan did NOT want Jesus on that cross.
First he tried to tempt Jesus out of the cross by offering all the world and it's kingdoms, and empires to Him WITHOUT having to go to the cross.
When Jesus said he must go to His death on the cross, Satan stood next to Peter, telling him to tell Jesus He would NOT go the cross.
When Jesus rode that donkey into Jerusalem, and the people shouted Hosanna! and ALLOWED them to recognize Him as Messiah, Satan panicked! He feared Jesus was going to start His Rule right then, and would cast Satan into the LOF right then and there.
So he entered Judas, had Jesus arrested, beaten like no other man, (after all, Satan thought, He is still a man. Skin for Skin!)
Ok. the beating didn't get Him to stop His quest to redeem mankind. Let's get Him up on that cross!
Surely when He sees how those He came to save treats Him, and wants to kill Him, He will relent and ZAP Himself back to heaven, and the HELL with humanity! After all, I have seen for thousands of yrs how weak and selfish men are. And He's STILL a man!
Satan's last ditch attempt : Mark 15
29 And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, “Aha!
You who destroy the temple and build
it in three days, 30 save Yourself, and come down from the cross!”
31 Likewise the chief priests also, mocking among themselves with the scribes, said, “He saved others; Himself He cannot save. 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and [
f]believe.”
Even the unrepentant thief/murderer told tell Him to come off that cross.
No. Satan did not glorify in Jesus' death. He knew that was the end for him. Now the battle is for the individual soul not to join him in that LOF.
