Jesus with his sacrifed dead fulifies Jehovah's plan and destroys Satan 's plan.Why Satan has permit Izraelis to kill Jesus, for example if I have been on Satan 's place I will do this The Izraelis Ponti Pilat the Rome soldiers who were whipped and impaled Jesus were under my command I will simple order them to bow to Jesus and on Roman senat I will order to make Jesus Roman EMPIRE KING instead Cezar and with that Satan will outwitted Jehova or tricked Jehova 's plan.

Welcome.
Leaving details aside, the basic answer in some early forms of the basic Christian narrative is that "victory" required fooling the enemy, hence incognito.
Cf. 1 Corinthians 2:7f: "But we speak God's wisdom, secret and hidden, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory."

This is actually something that I wondered about when I was a Witness. Unless Satan was incredibly stupid, he would have realised he was playing into Jehovah's hands.
Ah well. I guess delusions of grandeur tend to stop you thinking clearly. Never mind Satan, old chap - at least you've got a good while left to play as Armageddon doesn't seem to be coming any time soon.
LOL @ Sunday Hereos! -

First, please notice that "Satan" plays no role in the version of the "plot" I pointed to. "The rulers of this age" which are fooled into crucifying the "Lord of Glory" by hidden divine Wisdom are a rather different notion.
Second, I don't see how "imperfect man" comes into the picture. Please explain.

God controls everything. Satan has limited powers. Don't think Satan didn't want to stop this event. I believe he is smart but he cannot go beyond what God allows. Like Jesus told Pilate you can only do what my Father allows.

Qcmbr
I always wondered if the plan was a lot deeper than our traditional reading. What if the atonement is also about redeeming Satan and his followers.
