Mmmm the one who fell was never a believer to begin with, Jesus. Hose him knowing he was rotten, funny enough a Edomite.

The church has always been under attack, true. But once Rome consolidated it's power into the church and the beast was healed it began attacking its former brothers. It was no longer a Church but an antichrist beast.

-The dragon was wounded into death (Rome)
-It was healed (birth of the RCC) and everyone marveled.
