End-time prophecy is confronted with THREE separate and unique evil entities (Re.16:13 below), the dragon/Satan, the beast of Revelation 13:1, and the beast of Revelation
The fourth beast/king of Daniel chapter 7 is seen in the book of Revelation as the beast of Revelation 13:1. He is a man/king and has the number 666 (Re.13:18).
At Revelation 13:1 we are seeing the fourth beast of Daniel chapter 7 "rise up out of the sea" (Dan.7:3), "out of the earth" (Dan.7:17), out of the bottomless pit (Re.9:1-2).
The beast of Revelation
After the fourth beast/king (Dan.7:7), seen in the book of Revelation as the beast of Revelation 13:1, comes upon the world scene, "another" beast/king comes up "out of the earth" (Re.13:11, Re.11:7), as did the first four beasts/kings (Dan.7:3, Dan.7:17).
Once the little horn/king of Daniel, the "another" beast of Revelation 13:11, sits in the temple of God (2 Thess.2:4), he is seen as the scarlet colored beast of Revelation chapter 17, who has ascended out of the bottomless pit (Re.17:8).
The beasts/kings of Daniel chapter 7/Revelation chapter 13 ALL come out of the bottomless pit. Their identities will not be known until they ascend out from the bottomless pit at the Fifth Trumpet, the First WOE (Re.9:1-2, 12).
The beast (Re.13:1) and the beast/false prophet (Re.13:11) will come against those blessed, those who come to the 1335 days (Dan.12:12) prior to the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17)
The spiritual opening of the bottomless pit is in the
Satan gives these beasts/kings their power (Re.13:2, Re.13:12).
Re.16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the DRAGON (Re.12:9, Re.20:2, Re.9:11), and out of the mouth of the BEAST (Re.13:1-8), and out of the mouth of the FALSE PROPHET (Re.13:11-17).
