Revelation 13:11-12
Revelation 13:11: “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.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.”
This beast is not the antichrist, but is the false prophet. You see, there is a counterfeit trinity here. Satan is the counterfeit Father, who gives his authority and power to the antichrist. The antichrist is the counterfeit Son, who reigns over the Earth. The false prophet is the counterfeit Holy Spirit, who causes everyone on Earth to worship the father. The relationship between these three entities mirrors the relationship between the real Trinity.
As you can see, the purpose of the false prophet is to get everyone in the world to worship the beast, and he will succeed. The only ones who will not do so are those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. The false prophet will be completely effective. At this point in history there will be no agnostics or atheists; everyone will worship the antichrist.
