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 3 unclean spirits came out of the mouth of the beast, the false prophet, and the dragon.

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."
"Dragon" is another name for satan.

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 God, to rule and bring judgment!

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 (counterfeit 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."

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.

Geezah-it is true that 1/3 of the angels followed satan in his rebellion against God, but remember that satan rules over them just as he rules over unsaved mankind. This is what the Lord tells us in Luke 4, "And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine."

Warrior-bride.... the lake of fire will not be created until the last day (Judgment Day). People that were not born-again are not in hell or the lake of fire at this time. Judgment Day (the last day) is when all those who have never been saved will stand for trial before the Lord and will be found guilty. Then they will be cast into the lake of fire. You must remember that Christ spoke in parables and also that one must harmonize Scripture before one finds truth.

Because well-meaning people are not following God's principles for Bible study, they arrive at erroneous conclusions-many of which I have attempted to show here in Y/A Religion. Bible study is serious work and takes much prayer and the leading of God. The Lord is the only One who can open one's spiritual eyes to the truths of the Bible.

Answer 1

Yes one in the same

Answer 2

He's absolutely correct. The verses where they appear to be separate, like when it says" they are cast together" they are together because they are one, the're also other verses that reveal that the beast is infact Satan the anti Christ the false prophet are all one. Also the first and second beast are one talked about in Rev are one. One of them is a human form and another is Satan spirit form. The anti Christ is satan in human form and is probably the 7th head on the beast which had a deadly wound but did live and even the beast himself is the 8th and is of the seven.

Answer 3

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.
Oh Lord Jesus.. may we be saved from these days. may our hearts turn to you this day to love and cherish your appearing. Grow in us Lord, until we are matured and ripened for Your return. Rescue many from this fate ...

Answer 4

The Dragon is Satan. When the Bible refers to beasts in a symbolic manner, it usually implies human governments (see Daniel) and the false prophet here symbolizes false religion as a whole, as does Babylon the Great (for most of today's religions are based there) and the Harlot (who rides the beast aka governments, basically in control of them).

Answer 5

No, if you read Revelation, you'll see that the Beast and Satan are two different beings. "The dragon" is yet another.

For that matter, there's absolutely no reason to think that Satan, the devil, Beelzebul, Lucifer, the Beast and all these other antagonists from the Bible are all supposed to be one entity.

Answer 6

There is going to be a false prophet (Rev. 13:11-18) that comes before the beast (Rev. 13:1-10).

Answer 7

YES,It's satan and he will be booted out of Heaven and his angels with him . He will be pretending to be Christ ,come to rapture you away ,but we know him for who he is .the one's who know and believe will be kept from this ,because we don't find satan tempting .6 before 7 don't let satan make a fool of you wait on the LORD. PEACE TO YOU

Answer 8

It all starts with the keeping of the Holy Sabbath.

Exodus 13:9—
And it shall be as a Sign to you upon your hand and
as a Memorial between your eyes, that Yahweh’s Law
shall be in your mouth; for with a strong hand Yahweh
has brought you out of Egypt.

As we learned, the word sign is shown in the
Hebrew Dictionary of Strong’s Concordance to
mean mark, token, sign, consent, flag, evidence of
consent.

The keeping of Yahweh’s Sabbaths is a sign or
evidence of consent to obedience to the Laws of
Righteousness.

I Yahchanan (John)3:7-8, 10—
7 Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices
Righteousness is Righteous, just as He is Righteous.
8 He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil
has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son
of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the
works of the devil.
10 In this the Children of Yahweh and the children of
the devil are manifest. Whoever does not practice Righteousness is not of Yahweh, and he does not love his
neighbor!

The Mark Of The Beast

The Disciple Yahchanan, by the Inspiration of Yahweh,
shows what he described as a likeness of the
beast. The word idol mean likeness. This beast
would try to force once again all people of the earth
to accept the mark of the beast in their hands or
their foreheads.

Revelation 13:16—
And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor,
free and bond, that they should give to themselves a mark
upon their right hands, or in their foreheads.

As the Mark of Yahweh lets all the world know
you worship Yahweh; so the mark of the beast shows
that you worship the likeness (idol) of the beast.

Yahweh’s Mark causes us to observe the weekly
Seventh Day Sabbath and Yahweh’s Appointed
Feast Days.

This marks us as belonging to Yahweh.

To look for the mark of the beast, we must look
for a mark that would cause us to disobey the Laws
of Yahweh. A substitute that would cause us to
break the Sabbath Day and Feast Days, which Yahweh
proclaimed as Holy.

This substitute identifies us with the beast and marks us as ones who obey the beastly system. The beast’s sign comes through deception and lying.

II Thessalonians 2:9—
Whose coming is according to the energy of Satan,
who works with all power, and signs, and lying wonders.

These lying wonders or signs will continue until the
Millenial reign of Yahweh’s Kingdom, as shown in:

II Thessalonians 2:8—
And then that lawless one will be revealed, whom
Yahshua will remove with the breath of His mouth, and
make powerless with the appearance of His coming—

The Prophet Daniyl shows this same thing when
speaking of the first beast.

Daniyl 7:25-27—
25 And he will speak great words against Yahweh,
and will wear out; mentally attack to cause to fall away,
the Saints of Yahweh, and think to change the Feasts,
Holy Days, and Laws; and they will be given into his
hand until a time, and times, and the dividing of time.
26 But the Judgment will sit, and they will take away
his government, to consume and to destroy it completely.
27 Then the kingdoms and governments, and the
greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, will
be given to the people of the Saints of Yahweh, Whose
Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, and all governments
will serve and obey Him.

Daniyl shows that this beast will change the Mark
of Yahweh, which are Yahweh’s Feast Days and the
Sabbaths. Daniyl shows this power would continue
until Yahshua returns.

We know that the lying sign is the changing of
the Sabbaths of Yahweh. Keeping the Sabbaths of
Yahweh is the Mark of Yahweh that identifies
Yahweh’s Family. We know this lying mark will continue
until the Millenium.

How did Satan bring this lying sign about? What
could be such a lying sign that would deceive the
whole world?

The Mark Of Yahweh Changed Through Lying.

The Prophet Daniyl shows plainly that the beast
would change the Mark of Yahweh. The Mark of
Yahweh, as the Scriptures show is His Sabbaths and
Feast Days. These mark Yahweh’s Children as His
Servants. So the mark of the beast would naturally
be, to change these Holy Days to PAGAN DAYS, in
worship of the beast. Notice the following Scripture
again.

Daniyl 7:25—
And he will speak great words against Yahweh, and
will wear out; mentally attack to cause to fall away, the
Saints of Yahweh, and think to change the Feasts, Holy
Days, and Laws; and they will be given into his hand
until a time, and times, and the dividing of time.

The beast thinks to change times, the Feast Days
and Laws of Yahweh. This beast deceived the world
into turning from the very Laws that would give
us Yahweh’s Mark or identify us as belonging to
Him.

None of the early believers kept the First Day
of the week, Sunday, as the Sabbath. They kept
the Sabbath Holy, on the Seventh Day, as
commanded by Yahweh! So how did Sunday
worship become instilled upon this world?

The answer to this question was given before this very
thing came to pass.

This Scripture shows that the last religious power
would think to change the Feasts and Laws of
Yahweh. This last religious power has been proven
to be the Roman Catholic Church and her
Protestant offspring.
As proof that the Roman Catholic Church
changed Sabbath worship to Sunday worship,
excerpts are quoted from Bible Readings for the
Home by Review and Herald Publishing
Association, Washington, DC, 1963, pages 415-418.
PAPAL POWER
ACKNOWLEDGES THIS ACT
What power has claimed authority to change Yahweh’s
law?
The Papacy.
NOTE__"The Pope is of so great authority and power that
he can modify, explain, or interpret even divine laws...The
Pope can modify divine law, since his power is not of man,
but of God; and he acts as vicegerent of God upon earth."

Answer 9

They are known as the Anti-Trinity. The counterfeit of what God has.

Answer 10

None of them are Satan.

They get their power and apparent authority from Satan.
