Beast

The Beast, Summary:

This "Beast" is the "little horn" of (Daniel 7:24-26), and "desolator" of (Daniel 9:27), the "abomination of desolation" of (Matthew 24:15), the "man of sin" of (2 Thessalonians 2:4-8), earth's last and most awful tyrant, Satan's fell instrument of wrath and hatred against God and the Jewish saints. He is, perhaps, identical with the rider on the white horse of (Revelation 6:2), who begins by the peaceful conquest of three of the ten kingdoms into which the former Roman empire will then be divided, but who soon establishes the ecclesiastical and governmental tyranny described in Daniel 7, 9, 11; Revelation 13. To him, Satan gives the power which he offered to Christ. (Matthew 4:8); (Matthew 4:9); (Revelation 13:4).

See "The great tribulation," (Psalms 2:5).

( See Scofield) - (Revelation 7:14).

Revelation 19:20

20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
