(Your Jesus is NOT GOD say the Romans!)Revelation 13:3 “And I (John) saw one of the heads (of dominion or dynasty - that of Rome) of it as having been slain to death (the deification of the Messiah did not prevail - for the Roman power which was in existence when Jesus was born was responsible for His death upon the cross) and (yet) the (fatal) wound of the death of it was healed.”
Holman Commentary.- The monster’s slaughter was as real as the Lamb’s slaughter; the monster’s healing was as real as the Lambs resurrection. We must be clear at one point here: the healing of the monster is far different and less important than the resurrection of the crucified Lamb. The resurrected Lamb is victorious for eternity.
Ironside Commentary.- It is the Roman power which was in existence when the Lord (Jesus) was born and was responsible for his death upon the cross. The Jews had no power at all unless it were ratified by Pilate, as representing Caesar. Therefore the Roman Empire, of which Pontius Pilate was the official representative, crucified the Lord of glory. It is true that Pilate simply gave the sentence called for by the Jews, and therefore they are held responsible for killing their Messiah. But the Roman procurator must face that clause, repeated over and over again through the centuries in the recitation of the Apostles’ Creed: “He was crucified under Pontius Pilate.” Pilate can never get away from that. It will stand against his record forever.

NOTE: In 313 A.D. Constantine allowed Christianity to be recognized and persecutions ended, thusly was healed, once again the wound of the death of it.
