While the disciples admire the temple, Jesus points out that the whole thing is strictly temporary. Alarmed, the disciples ask for a timeline of future events. Jesus delivers…big time.

As Satan puts his plans in motion, Jesus promises to fight and die for his disciples. They promise to fight and die for him in return. Jesus says, “No, you won’t.” Then he tells them to hurry up and eat — it’s time to get on the road.

Satan finally launches his attack, carries the war into God’s territory, and captures Jesus at last. The war is over! — but who actually won?

Jesus goes on trial for his life. He is found guilty, then not guilty, then guilty again, and still he makes no attempt to escape. Why not? the crowd wonders — and then they jump to a terrible conclusion.

The dragon accomplishes his goal, bringing Jesus down to defilement, shame, and death. Too late, he discovers that his goal is actually God’s goal: he has voluntarily opened the gates of his central stronghold to the Son of God, who promptly plunders Satan’s Kingdom of the Dead and sets the prisoners free.

The women get up early to prepare Jesus’ body for resurrection on Judgement Day, only to discover they aren’t needed. As usual, the men refuse to listen — until God decides they must.

As the disciples struggle to understand how the world has changed, Jesus commissions them to a life of prophetic martyrdom and promises them that their Father God will always love them — no matter what happens.
