There are only three moments in human history where spiritual warfare has erupted with such visible intensity that it shook the course of mankind. The first was in the garden when man rebelled against God and the serpent struck at the very order of creation. The second was during the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the events leading up to it, when the kingdom of darkness launched its most aggressive assault against the Son of God. Arguably, we are witnessing the beginnings of a third such moment in our own time as we move deeper into the last days. Today we will examine Mark 15:1–14 through that lens and uncover the unseen battle raging behind envy, political compromise, mob manipulation, and irrational hatred. What you are about to see may change the way you understand both the cross and the times in which we live.
