Is "the beast", the "false prophet", and the "Antichrist" the same being, ie., satan?

Question

In Revelation 16:13 we read, "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet." **Please note that the beast, the false prophet, and the dragon, all had 3 unclean spirits.

In Revelation 12:9 the Bible says, "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."
The "dragon" is another name for satan.

The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 11:14, "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." **Satan is the father of lies (John 8:44), and his greatest triumph would be to pose as the Lord but actually be Anti-Christ. In Revealtion 13:11 we read, "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon."

In Isaiah 14:14, 15 we read, "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit." **Please note that satan's greatest desire is to be like God.

Satan's desire is to "kill" the true believers (sheep, wheat, elect, saints, etc). In John 10:10 we read, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."

If we now compare this verse with Revelation 11:7, 8 "And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified."

It appears that satan is the "beast".

It also appears that satan is the false prophet (a liar). Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6).

In 1 John 4:3 we read, "And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world."

The Lord tells us here that "Antichrist" was already in the world at the time that John penned this verse (95 AD). No human being can live for 1912 years so this "Antichrist" must be satan. When the Lord speaks of "antichrists" in 1 John 2, this is a reference to all those people who are not saved and ruled by satan. A person who is not saved is the enemy of Christ.

Please also note that satan is referred to in the Bible as a "roaring lion" (1 Peter 5:8) and a wolf (John 10). Satan acts like a wild beast. He waits for his prey. He (satan) cannot be tamed-he kills and destroys.

nopes, its a trinity. ^^

Answer 2

The Beast is Rome. In the context of Revelation, the "beast from the sea" clearly refers to the Roman emperor, probably Domitian, who ruled from 81-96 CE. The "beast from the land," then, most likely refers to a chief administrator of Roman rule in Ephesus and Asia Minor, i.e., the "henchman" of the Emperor. Another possibility would be the High Priest of the Provincial Imperial Cult, who would have been a leading citizen from one of the main cities. The imperial cult in Ephesus was set up by Domitian in 89 CE, and this may be the crucial event that sparks the reaction of the author. Hence, the "mark" refers to an imperial slogan or seal used on official documents and commercial contracts.

The actual term "Antichrist" occurs five times in the New Testament and once in early Christian literature of the 2nd century CE. Most of the New Testament occurrences appear in 1 John (2.18, 2.22, 4.3), with one in 2 John 7:

18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us. 20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. 21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. 22 Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist--he denies the Father and the Son.
1 John 2.18- 2.22

2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
1 John 4.2-4.3

7 Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
2 John 7.

Answer 3

Luke 4:5,6 shows that the governments belong to Satan. Beasts in the Bible represent governments. Notice Daniel 7:17 and Daniel 8:20,21.

At Revelation 13:2 it says that the power, throne and authority was given to the beast, or governments, by means of the dragon, Satan the Devil.
The false prophet is the same as the wild beast at Rev. 13:11-14. This is the United Nations. Jesus never said man would bring about true peace and security. He told us that it would be by means of God's Kingdom only.
Here is Jesus' words stating The Lord's Prayer at Matthew 6:9,10: "Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name, thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven."

Answer 4

Revelation 19:20
And the beast was seized, and WITH him the False prophet who in his presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who received teh Mark of the Beast and those who worshipped his image. These TWO were cast alive into the lake of Fire which burns wiht brimstone

Revelation20:10
And the devil, who deceived them was casted into the Lake of Fire and brimstone where ALSO the Beast and the False prophet were and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

The Beast coming up out of the sea having ten horns and seven heads and on his horns ten diadems and on his head the names of blasphemy ( Rev 13:1) is the same beast, the forth beast prophesied in Daniel 7:7. This beast is Antichrist. In Rev 9:11 He is the King of the locusts.
Each of these items that you listed brother Amos has satan as their content and expression.

Keep abiding brother amos

Answer 5

For everything that is from God or Christ, Satan has a counterfeit. We have the Trinity which is God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Satan has the counterfeit of that. Anti-Christ, Beast and False Prophet.

Answer 6

The Beast is the world system.

The False Prophet is the World Church. (I will not name names but if you want my opinion email me)

The Anti-Christ is the man of sin. 2 Thessalonians 2:3
anti-christ is also a spirit.

I believe the world system will be ran by the world church or at least influenced.
