Revelation 13:3-4

³ And one of his heads seemed to have a deadly wound. But his death stroke was healed; and the whole earth went after the beast in amazement and admiration.

• The anti-christs will seem to have been killed, or should have been killed, but he will live.
• Notice that he was healed, only our Father’s power can heal, so our Father is in control of the whole situation. 
• We are told that the Earth paid homage to the beast, why did Jesus tell us the Earth? Jesus told us the Earth will pay homage because we will not pay homage, the saints will not, but all of those of the earth will.
• Could the earth be a representation for the fallen angels that are amongst us? In John 17:2 we are told that Jesus was being sacrificed so that He could have power over all mankind and so that He could give eternal life to all that He had been given. So earth could very well be the fallen angels only, who appear to  be like men. 
• The Popes power was taken away by Napoleon in the 1798. From the time of Justatine in 538 when the Bishop of Rome became the Pope, until 1798, 1260 years, the Pope had a great army and was the world leader. The Pope will come back into great power as the anti-christ, the leader of the beast. He will speak with such power that he will actually seem to unite Christian and Muslim believers, and the world will marvel at how great a leader he is. He will offer peace, and the world will believe him. Just as now, people look far more at how people say things, then actually at what they do. And this guy will say things with such glory and the world will marvel and follow right along! The wicked will erect statues to him and pass laws that tell people to worship him. The anti-christ will seem exactly like what the world has always needed.
• But his kingdom will be built on the sand. It will never stand.   

⁴ They fell down and paid homage to the dragon, because he had bestowed on the beast all his dominion and authority; they also praised and worshiped the beast, exclaiming, Who is a match for the beast, and, Who can make war against him?

• Fallen angels will worship the beast, because he came from the abyss. He is a leader amongst them. 
• Think of how people fall down before the Pope now, and then think of when he has the full support and power of Europe, the Middle East, and satan. Our Father during this time will have caused a great falling away of the false believers, He will have spewed the luke warm out of His mouth. These false christians will probably run to the fake church of the anti-christ, which I believe to be the Catholic church, which will be run by the anti-Christ, who is acting as the last Pope.
• Also notice how our Father finally permits satan to try and imitate Him. Our Father finally allows satan to give all his power and authority to the anti-christ, just as Jesus has given all of His power and glory to us. Think of what satan will be thinking here: that he can finally control and empower all of the things of the earth. All of his schemes and plans will fail though, because it is all our Father’s plan and it is our Fathers wrath.
• Satan is and will be a servant of our Father, even though he believes that he is in control, it is all our Father’s will being accomplished on earth during the end times, as it is in Heaven.
• Remember this Truth, just because some people will be fascinated by the beast and think that he is of God, our Father will not allow them to take his mark. Our Father would that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the Truth, 1Timothy 2:4. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord, Romans 14:11. So our Father will never allow people to commit the unforgivable sin of taken the mark of the beast. But with Angels it is a very different story.
• A 1/3rd of the angels have been cast to the earth and they seek the destruction of the church, Revelation 12:4. These are the beings that have taken the mark and worship satan.
