about the singular Antichrist that is to come working miracles to deceive, instead comes up out of the "earth". And Lord Jesus revealed in His Revelation more than once that the beast that comes up out of the earth is pointing to the beast that comes up out of the bottomless pit, which is Satan himself (see Rev.9:1, Rev.9:11; Rev.11:7; Rev.17:8).
This is a only by a preconcluded interpretation, that does not take all Scripture into account.
While all false prophets and apostles are made by Satan, Satan is never
made a man in Scripture, nor a false prophet and apostle.
He can enter into betrayers of Christ, but not be the man himself. He is the first
angel betraying God. Angels can be given the shapes of men temporarily, and can enter into men temporarily, but only Christ became a man on earth from the womb.
Neither Satan, nor any angel is allowed by God, to become a man of flesh and blood. Remember, neither Satan, nor any ange can do anything of his own will alone, but only what is allowed by God. He may be given free reign at times to walk up and down the earth, but not to become a man born of flesh and blood, nor a man shaped from the dust of the earth as Adam. It's is only God that creates and makes anything:
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Christ can make men alive again from the womb, to continue living naturally in flesh and blood, but no Scripture says He ever makes angels into men with natural mortal bodies. And it can be shown, that Satan thinks it beneath him to become a little lower than the angels by taking on himself flesh and blood, as Jesus did. His pride would not want that. It's also why he despises Jesus Christ the Word of God become a man.
And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
The god of this world does not want to become a man, but to be God Himself.
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
I believe the zeal of that first beast and man,
may well be from fires of hell, because he
may have been literally already been there, And when he speaks with a tongue from hell, he will certainly mean it:
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
If true, then when that last great false apostle and antichrist says he is Christ risen from the dead and come again in the flesh, then he will be the one with the most creds to lie about it ever.
And if it's true that the first beast and scarlet beast are the same man, then I say it proves he is a false dead prophet now made alive again on earth to be the last false apostle. I believe that would be Korah, who is shown to be the first false prophet among the children of Israel, defying the rule and law of God by Moses. Coming from hell itself, he would have no problem defying the rule and law of God by Jesus Christ.
