Why the Beast and False prophet as described in Revelation are not human.

Clue #1; the beast does not originate from the earth

We are introduced to the “beast” in Revelation 11:7 as” the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit and makes war with the two witnesses and kills them.”

 

Clue #2: God never describes the beast in any human form

The Strong’s  word for “beast” is G2342, translated with meanings  of;  An animal,. A wild animal,  wild beast, bestial man, savage.

 

Clue#3;  God does not treat the Beast or False prophet (Beast 2) as He treats every other human being

In Revelation 19:20 tells us;

“And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone.

 

The Beast and False Prophet were not judged, every human being created by God will be judged.

 

That is the  beast and false prophet were not judged in a formal trial with evidence presented, as will occur in the Great White Throne judgment for every human being.

 

Hebrews 9:27; “And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment”

 

Rev. 20:11-12; “Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds.”

The Beast (Anti-Christ) and false prophet are not human, I believe they will be part human and part angel (satanic rebels) as per Daniel 2:43 “they will combine with one another in the seed of men”. This does not rule out any living political leader as we do not know the true background of many of them and the level of deception in todays media worldwide is as prophesized in Daniel 8:25 and 2 Thess 2:10-12, we really don’t know what the truth is concerning them.
