Is the "beast", the "false prophet", and the "Anti-Christ" 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.

dear smallone-I am afraid that you are drinking from polluted waters. Do you know what the Gospel is? The Gospel is that ALL of have broken God's law (the Bible). We have trangressed the law of God and that is called "sin." The penalty for 1 sin is to spend eternity under the wrath of God....those who are condemned will be sentenced to the lake of fire for ever. However, God in His great mercy and lovingkindness, determined that He would save some of the rebels and make them His children (heirs in heaven). However, God, because He is righteous and perfectly just could not allow sinners into heaven without having paid their sin debt-eternity in the lake of fire! So, God took on the form of a human, lived a perfect life in obedience to God, and then endured the equivalent of spending eternity in hell for those whom He had chosen before the foundation of the earth (Ephesians 1:3-5). The God-man, of course, is the Lord Jesus Christ. You see, so many people believe .......

that the wipping by the Roman soldiers and crucifixion on a cross paid for sins. Absolutely not! God tells us that being crucified is a sign that means "cursed" (Galatians 3:13). "Naked" indicates that ever sin that we have ever done is seen by God....Christ never sinned but took upon Himself all the sins of those He came to save. The crown of thorns was part of the cruel mocking He received from the creatures he had created....He is King of kings and Lord of lords but the Romans mocked Him as King of the Jews. From the Garden of Gethsemanae to when He said, "It is finished" on the cross, Jesus was enduring the equivalent of spending eternity in hell compressed into those hours. The fact is that Jesus was victorious and showed it to mankind by rising again on Sunday morning. Youcannot be saved by any work(s) you do. Have you ever read Ephesians2:8, 9 or Titus 3:5 or Galatians 2:16? I do not want to make you feel bad, but Ihave to tell you the truth. If you want further ....

Answer 1

well obviously

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

Is The Beast The Antichrist

Answer 4

The correct answer is that they are all three the same in fact....Satan is the one were talking about here, in different forms, false prophet and the antichrist himself. This is the unholy trinity just the opposite of the holy trinity. He was a man and he currently has control of the second major religion in this world.

Answer 5

no they are not the same being but the are from the same being. The Beast is Satan, the Anti-Christ is a man born of Satan, just like Jesus was born of God. And the false Prophet is a Religious leader that will support the Anti-Christ and bring him to power.

Answer 6

Are you perhaps trying to suggest that Satan is also a triune being...Father, Son, and Holy Spirit versus Satan, beast and anti-christ? I think the false prophet is a human being...certainly being influenced by Satan...perhaps in direct communication with him...but still a man like the prophet Isaiah. But the other three could be quite similar in nature to the three aspects of God...anti-christ the son and beast the spirit united with the evil one (satan). Why not?

Not saying this is the case...I'd need to study that issue a lot more to see if there's enough evidence in the bible to support it, but is sounds like a good hypothesis to consider.

Answer 7

It looks like you have studied this.

No, the beast, the false prophet, and the anti-Christ are not the same. Here is the answer to that particular verse:

16:13 And because the water was dried up I saw three unclean spirits like unto 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.

"Frogs live in or near bodies of water that give them life. When the water is “dried up,” “frogs” seek out other bodies of water to sustain them. In verse 4, John has presented the “rivers and fountains of water” as corrupted with “blood.” These polluted “waters” come forth from the mouths of religious, secular, and other spiritual leaders of the earth. When these desperate and distressed “frogs” seek for “water” and life in the mouths of these, and enter therein, they find “blood” instead, and “come out of the mouth” of those who do not possess the “living waters” of the gospel of Christ."

"As the means of the economies of the world “dry up,” as has been explained [in the book cited below], those people of the earth who are full of selfishness, lust, and hate (“three unclean spirits like unto frogs”) seek life from those (familiar spirits) who they believe can give them life. These leaders and spiritual guides, in turn, play on the desires of human nature (“the dragon”) and the image of worldly success (“the beast”), all the while pretending to administer good and sound doctrine (whether spiritual or secular) to the people. "

"The gospel of Jesus Christ, which includes unconditional forgiveness and loving our enemies as our friends, presents the only message anyone needs to know and understand in order to be happy. In contrast, anyone who does not teach this simple message is who John has referred to as a “false prophet.” Therefore, the term John uses (“false prophet”) always represents any person who claims to be good and teach truth, but who pollutes the pure and living water by teaching anything more or less than the simple message of Jesus Christ."

You can continue reading the rest of the amazing explanation in THE book that explains what ALL of Revelation means. It explains the Anti-Christ and satan/the devil, along with all the rest of the symbols in plainness.

It is the most amazing book on earth today, and changed my life.

Answer 8

No. Satan is the fallen angel Lucifer. The Antichrist is a human that will be indwelt by satan. The False prophet is also a human indwelt by demons to make blasphemies and create false signs and wonders. Even having the power to call fire from the sky.

Answer 9

Think of it this way God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit is the Holy Trinity. Satan, AntiChrist and the Flase Prophet are the Unholy Trinity. Satan tries to replace God, AntiChrist tries to replace Jesus Christ and The False Prophet tries to replace the Holy Spirit.

Answer 10

Antichrist is a mistranslation by Christians.

The False Messiah is the correct translation since those who denied the Messiah are still awaiting theirs and he will be the False one.


The Most evil leader to ever come.

Answer 11

Nope.
Different entities.
However, Satan is an antichrist. One of many.

As John said in his epistles,---there are many antichrists. They were in is time, and they are here now.
