Is the beast in Revelation 19, a man?

Scripture says that Jesus will make war on the enemies of God from a horse and his sword will be the word of his mouth. It looks like the devil will lead an army of men into a war against Jesus' headquarters here on earth after the 1000 year reign in the air. **NB** It's **not the devil who leads**, **it's the beast**. The beast is the one who attempts to lead an invasion against Jesus' camp of Saints. This is because during this time the devil is imprisoned in the abyss, and that's why later he is freed ## The Rider on a White Horse ## **Revelation 19:11-15** >Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. Heaven has an army and Jesus is the leader. ## Birds get ready to feed on the flesh of fallen men ## **Revelation 19:17** >Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly directly overhead, “Come, gather for the great supper of God, to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both small and great.” The size of fallen men is going to be so huge that the birds are called to feast on the remains. ## The Beast and the nations get ready for war against Jesus and his armies ## **Revelation 19:19** >And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. Both sides get ready to attack ## Jesus Defeats the Beast and captures him ## **Revelation 19:20** >And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. The beast loses the war to Jesus, he is captured and thrown alive into the lake of fire. Since this beast is alive and thrown alongside the false prophet into the lake of fire, does it follow that the beast is a **human king** and the false prophet his priest? Using the **principal of duality** like truth and lies, angels and demons, God and devil then it follows that the beast is the opposite of Christ in form in that Christ has a physical body and the Spirit of God so does this beast has a physical body and the Spirit of Satan over his head? ## Close Examination of the Throwing into the Lake of Fire Verse ## I have also examined the verse that describes the act of throwing and the Bible says as if these were two men being thrown alive into the lake of fire **Revelation 19:20** >...These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. **These two were thrown** sounds as if the false prophet and the beast are both equal in form and other attributes
