1. The Dragon is a Counterfeit God.
The Dragon is a picture of Satan (12:9), a counterfeit God. He disguises himself as “an angel of light” (2 Cor 11:14).
2. The Beast (13:1-10) is a Counterfeit Christ
The Beast is the image of the Dragon. Satan imitates God creating man in his own image (Gen 1:27).
Christ the Son of God is “the image of the invisible God” (Col 1:15). Satan made the Beast in his own image, a counterfeit “Son.”
3. The False Prophet (13:11-18; 16:13) is a Counterfeit Holy Spirit
