The Apocalyptic WAR | Our Time: The BEASTS

Notes:

1) The beast that rises from the sea: symbolizes the material forces of evil, arrayed against the Church [Cf. Psalm 2]. This is the antichrist who will reveal the Antichrist: the man of lawlessness, the son of perdition.

2) The second beast: ‘the false prophets’ [the preeminent one the false prophet].

On the false prophet:

The dragon, the beast, and the false prophet signify Satan, Antichrist, and the principle apostle of Antichrist. These three different beings command all the other demons. In the work of our redemption, the three divine persons of the adorable Trinity manifested themselves. The Son adores the Father; the Holy host gives glory to the Son. And we see that in the mystery of iniquity Antichrist adores Satan and the false prophet glorifies Antichrist. Hence we have every reason to show that this false prophet will be an individual person and not a collective term to designate the universality of preachers engaged in the service of Antichrist. We can assert that he will not be a king, nor a general of an army, but a clever apostate, fallen from the episcopal dignity. From being an apostle of the Gospel he will become the first preacher of the false messiah. – TAN | HISTORY OF ANTICHRIST by Rev. P.

3) The dragon is that great dragon that was thrown down from heaven, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world.
