The dragon is Satan and the devil , both names which indicate his slanderous accusations (Rev. Rev. 12:9+). “When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it” (John John 8:44). The Beast is known for his blasphemous mouth (Dan. Dan. 7:8, Dan. 7:11, Dan. 7:20, Dan. 7:25; Dan. 11:36; Rev. Rev. 13:6+) and the False Prophet, although appearing like a lamb, speaks like a dragon—He tells those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast (Rev. Rev. 13:11+). Each of these would be highly influential on their own, but aided by unclean spirits, their deception is especially effective. See commentary on Revelation 13:14.
