Apocalypse and Crucifixion mirror images?

It seems like religious archetypes get inverted or reflected to create new meanings. I wonder if the "apocalypse" in Revelation is a mirror image of crucifixion?

The apocalypse seems to be a culmination of prophesied events that leads to "shit hits the fan" types of moments and disasters, evil is defeated, followed by a resurrection of the physical world.

This could work as a mirror of crucifixion because of #1 fulfilled prophecy, #2 physical trauma and humiliation, #3 death is defeated #4 transformation of the physical body to the revelation of the spiritual form.

I was thinking of this because (if I remember correctly, haven't read the text in a while) that satan impregnates a woman which gives birth to "the beast," which seems an obvious inversion of the immaculate conception of Christ.  These events seem to have their on symmetry; one reflecting the other.

So I guess I wonder if there will ever be a time of reckoning for all of humanity followed by a lasting peace, or is this just another description of the transformation that each believer has to undergo?

I would personally like to think there will be a time where the physical realm is justified. This seems intuitively necessary.  The physical world does not have to be justified, however it seems to me that the suffering that we experience in this world would be more understandable if the physical universe is eventually "fixed."

If there is I guess I don't see much reason for waiting around to do it. Is God waiting for a culmination of specific events, or waiting for us to transform ourselves before He steps in and finishes the job?

If there is no resurrection of the physical universe, how might that play out? Perpetuating indefinitely or eventual extinction? Both seem plausible.  We're already planning on colonizing other planets and galaxies, however the universe may eventually collapse upon itself again or as Stephen Hawking suspects, eventually spread so far apart that stars will no longer be able to warm the planets. 

Neither one of these seems especially satisfactory considering that if our species continues it means indefinite suffering for the living.  If our universe dies than it simply means a complete abandonment of the physical plane. 

A complete abandonment of the physical world would certainly provide an end to suffering, however it doesn't fix much of what is broken, and ultimately I think think the symbolic act of resurrecting the physical world is important for our peace of mind.
