I would appreciate any constructive feedback on the following reordering of the unholy trinity.

Re-examining the Relationship

In answering the question: “What is the unholy trinity in the end times?” The current teaching in the majority of the Church is: “A common tactic of Satan is to imitate or counterfeit the things of God in order to make himself appear to be like God. What is commonly referred to as the ‘unholy trinity,’ described vividly in Revelation 12 and 13, is no exception. The Holy Trinity consists of God the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Their counterparts in the unholy trinity are Satan, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet... Satan is the anti-God, the Beast is the anti-Christ, and the False Prophet is the anti-Spirit.”1


Satan = unholy father

Antichrist = unholy son

False Prophet = unholy spirit


After years of study, I see a practical flaw in this understanding of the order of the unholy trinity. Could Satan actually be the unholy counterpart to God the Holy Spirit?

In the Holy Trinity during the incarnation, humanity saw the Father (through the Son, John 14:9; Colossians 1:15; 2 Corinthians 4:4) and the Son in the flesh (Romans 1:3), while the Holy Spirit remained unseen.

In the unholy trinity, humanity will see two physical persons (the False Prophet and Antichrist) presented as a “father-son” duo, empowered by an unseen spirit (Satan), a closer visible parallel than the traditional ordering.

This proposed adjustment would make the False Prophet the earthly father of the Antichrist. So the corrupt counterfeit counterparts would be:


False Prophet = unholy father

Antichrist = unholy firstborn son

Satan = unholy spirit / spiritual father


This doctrinal adjustment is equally applicable for those scholars who advocate the minority view of the supernatural origin of the Antichrist, such as Arthur W. Pink, Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum, Dr. Daniel E. Woodhead and others which teach that the person of the Antichrist will be the literal offspring / seed of Satan. The only difference would be that they would be the perceived father and firstborn son. Perceived to those people alive during the 70th week of Daniel, creating the concluding corrupt counterparts:


False Prophet = unholy father / perceived father of the Antichrist

Antichrist = unholy son / perceived son of the False Prophet / actual seed of Satan

Satan = unholy spirit / actual father of the Antichrist


There is a difference between perceived reality and actual reality. The Jews in Jesus’ day perceived that Joseph was the father of Jesus (Luke 3:23; 4:22); yet, the actual reality was that God was His Father. Jesus even asked the scribes to explain this apparent juxtaposition (Luke 20:41—44; Matthew 22:41—45). This is what we will explore in this study. We shall re-examine the current Church Doctrine of the Unholy Trinity.

In order to understand the proper relationship between the False Prophet and the Antichrist, we must understand the nature of God, what Satan wants and how Satan will counterfeit the Trinity.

Within the nature of the One God, there are Three co-eternal and co-equal distinct Persons: Father, Firstborn Son and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29, 36; Hebrews 1:6; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 Peter 1:2; 1 John 5:7).

Satan wants “to be like” God (Isaiah 14:14). The word “like” in this passage is the Hebrew word “damah” (H1819) which means: “To compare, to resemble, to liken, to be like, to use similitudes.”2 “To make oneself like.”3 To do this, he must pretend to substitute God. To be “like” God, Satan must have his own father, firstborn son, and spirit unholy trinity (Revelation 16:13; 20:10).

The current teaching in the majority of the Churches is that Satan is represented as the unholy father and the Antichrist is represented as the unholy son (Genesis 3:15). But when we get to the False Prophet being represented as the unholy spirit, the advocates of the current Church teaching say: Since the Holy Spirit bears witness to the person and work of Christ and glorifies Christ and draws men to worship Christ, so shall the False Prophet bear witness to the person and work of the Antichrist and glorify him, and will draw men to worship the Antichrist.4

The main problem with this view is that according to Scripture, the Father has the exact same ministries:

Bears Witness of Christ (Deuteronomy 18:17—19; Isaiah 11:1—2; 42:1; Matthew 3:17; 17:5; Mark 1:11; Luke 3:22; John 5:37; 8:18).

Glorifies Christ (Daniel 7:13—14; John 12:23; 13:32; 17:1, 5, 22, 24; 2 Peter 1:17).

Draws men to Christ (John 6:44—45, 37, 65; 17:9, 11—12, 24).

To Worship Christ (Hebrews 1:6; [cf. 1 Peter 3:22; Colossians 1:18]; [cf. Hebrews 1:8; Luke 4:8; John 10:30]).

While Trinitarian roles overlap significantly (e.g., the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and Son, John 15:26), the ministries of the False Prophet (exercising authority, performing public signs, enforcing worship, and animating the image; Revelation 13:12—15) more closely parallel the Father's public, declarative roles toward the Son than the Holy Spirit's internal work. This supports viewing the False Prophet as the unholy father, a visible authority who exalts his "firstborn son" (the Antichrist), counterfeiting the Father's exaltation of Christ.

Revelation's power flow further illustrates this: Satan empowers the Antichrist directly (Revelation 13:2), while the False Prophet derives power "before him" (Revelation 13:12), exercising it in a subordinate yet delegatory manner analogous to the Father's delegation of authority to the Son (John 5:22—23) while maintaining hierarchy.

For instance, Revelation 13:12 states: "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." The False Prophet's delegated authority and command for universal worship of the Antichrist echo the Father's granting of authority to the Son (John 5:22—23, "that all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father") and directive for worship (Hebrews 1:6, "And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him"). This public enforcement aligns more with the Father's authoritative ministries than the Spirit's convicting role, reinforcing the False Prophet as the counterfeit earthly father.

Furthermore, Revelation 13:13—14 declares: "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast." The public signs, such as fire from heaven, serve to bear deceptive witness of the Antichrist, mirroring the Father's heavenly affirmations of the Son (Matthew 3:17, "And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased"; John 5:37). These acts glorify and draw people to the Antichrist (paralleling John 6:44—45, where the Father draws people to Christ), emphasizing external deception over internal conviction (John 16:8). In the Tribulation context, this counterfeit witness fits the False Prophet as counterfeiting the Father's glorifying role.

Revelation 13:15 adds: "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed." Granting life to the image and enforcing worship under penalty of death parallels the Father imparting life to the Son (John 5:26) and decreeing universal worship (Philippians 2:10—11; Daniel 7:13—14, where the Father gives dominion). This coercive, visible exaltation underscores the father-son dynamic proposed, with the False Prophet counterfeiting the Father's public promotion.

Matthew 3:17 (cf. John 12:28—30) provides a divine parallel: "And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." The Father's audible witness from heaven publicly glorifies the Son, akin to the False Prophet's heavenly sign (fire) that draws worship to the Antichrist. This declarative parallel supports the argument that the False Prophet's ministries overlap more with the Father's external actions.

Scripture testifies over and over, that Satan is the cardinal copycat, the diabolical deceiving dragon, the example of every evil, the first fraudulent foe, the initial imitator, the master of masquerade, the prototype pretender, the supreme sinister serpent, the numero uno usurper, the number one wannabe and the original unholy spirit (Ezekiel 28:12—18; Isaiah 14:12—14; 2 Corinthians 11:14; Galatians 1:8; Revelation 12:3—4; Genesis 3:4—5).

The Scriptures portray Satan not as a visible, literal father in the unholy trinity but as an invisible spirit who spiritually "fathers" deception and empowerment, counterfeiting the Holy Spirit's indwelling role. This aligns with the argument that Satan empowers the Antichrist (Revelation 13:2) in a spiritual manner, remaining unseen during the Tribulation, while the False Prophet and Antichrist form the visible father and firstborn son duo.

Jesus told the Pharisees that Satan is their spiritual father: “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.” (John 8:44). In this passage, Jesus identifies Satan as the spiritual father of the unbelieving Pharisees, not through literal paternity, nor through counterfeiting God the Father in the unholy trinity of the end times, but through shared deceptive character and actions. This spiritual kinship exemplifies Satan's role as the source of lies and murder "from the beginning," paralleling his function as the unholy spirit who spiritually fathers the Antichrist's wickedness (Genesis 3:15's "seed" interpreted as supernatural influence). This supports the view that Satan's fatherhood is non-literal, focused on indwelling and empowerment, as seen in his deceptive operations during the end times (2 Thessalonians 2:9).

Ephesians 2:2 states: "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience." Here, Satan is explicitly designated a "spirit" who actively "worketh in" (energizes) the "children of disobedience," making them his spiritual offspring through influence. This mirrors the Holy Spirit's indwelling of believers (1 Corinthians 3:16) and reinforces Satan's counterfeit as the unholy spirit, invisible and operational within the Antichrist (Revelation 13:4; 2 Thessalonians 2:9, "whose coming is after the working of Satan"). In a futuristic eschatological context, this foreshadows Satan's unseen empowerment in the Tribulation, distinct from any literal fatherly role, whether through paternity or through counterfeiting God the Father in the unholy trinity of the end times.

2 Corinthians 11:14 declares: "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." Satan's ability to disguise himself as light counters the Holy Spirit's role in illumination and truth (John 16:13). As a spirit being (Ezekiel 28:12—18 describes him as a fallen cherub), his imitation is spiritual and deceptive, not physical. This aligns with Isaiah 14:12—14, where his ambition to "be like" the Most High is a spiritual usurpation, positioning him as the original unholy spirit who spiritually fathers deception in the unholy trinity (Revelation 16:13).

1 John 3:8—10 adds: "He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning... In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God." This text distinguishes "children of the devil" by spiritual actions (persistent sin), not biological descent. Satan's original sin "from the beginning" establishes him as the spiritual father of unrighteousness, which culminates in the end-times figures like the Antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:3—4). This exegetical emphasis on spiritual rather than literal fatherhood strengthens the reordering, with Satan as the empowering unholy spirit.

These passages collectively depict Satan as a spiritual entity whose "fatherhood" is through deceptive influence, not literal biological progeny, and not counterfeiting God the Father in the unholy trinity of the end times, enhancing the argument's portrayal of him as the invisible counterpart to the Holy Spirit.

As the Antichrist imitates Christ, Scripture shows the Antichrist having a dual nature, being the unholy son of perdition (seed of Satan – spiritual or supernatural; depending on which view of the origin of the Antichrist you believe) and the man of sin (Genesis 3:15; 2 Thessalonians 2:3).

Since the ministries of the Father are to bear witness of Christ, to glorify Christ, to draw men to Christ and explicitly counsels His creation to worship His Son, then the False Prophet would be the unholy counterpart to the Father, making him the earthly father of the Antichrist. Satan will counterfeit the Trinity in a similar fashion. As the Father instructs His creation to worship His Firstborn Son, Jesus; likewise, the False Prophet will demand everyone to worship his firstborn son, the Antichrist and his image or be killed (Revelation 13:12, 15).

Another categorical correlating consideration is that Jesus “is the image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15) and since “the Father hath life in Himself; so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself” (John 5:26), so shall the False Prophet have “power to give life unto the image of the beast” (Revelation 13:15).

Out of these three beings, only two have physical bodies. Since Satan is a spirit, (literally, the original unholy spirit) people alive during the 70th week of Daniel will only see a father and his firstborn son, in order to counterfeit God: the Father, His Firstborn Son Jesus (Luke 2:23; Colossians 1:15, 18; Hebrews 1:6; Revelation 1:5) and the Holy Spirit.

In conclusion, here’s why this is a legitimate exegetical option:

● The False Prophet’s actions most visibly mirror the Father’s public, declarative ministries toward the Son:


The Father publicly declares and bears witness to Christ: “This is My beloved Son” (Matthew 3:17; 17:5; John 5:37; 8:18; 12:28).

The False Prophet performs great public signs (fire from heaven) and deceives people into accepting the Antichrist as the object of worship (Revelation 13:13—14), a direct counterfeit of the Father’s heavenly voice and signs that authenticate and exalt the Son.


The Father glorifies His Son (John 8:54; 12:23; 13:31—32; 17:1, 5).

The False Prophet causes the world to worship and honor his son the Antichrist as supreme (Revelation 13:12, 15).


The Father draws people to the Son (John 6:44—45).

The False Prophet enforces universal allegiance to the Antichrist through deception and coercion.


The Father delegates authority to the Son and commands worship of Him (John 5:22—23; Hebrews 1:6).

The False Prophet exercises all the authority of the first beast “on his behalf” and demands worship of him (Revelation 13:12).


● Satan as the unholy spirit fits his Biblical portrayal:

Satan is repeatedly depicted as a spirit being who works invisibly, empowering and indwelling (Ephesians 2:2; 2 Corinthians 11:14; John 8:44; Revelation 13:2, 4).

He remains unseen during the Tribulation, just as the Holy Spirit is invisible, while the Father (through the Son) and Son were visibly revealed in the incarnation.


False Prophet = unholy father

Antichrist = unholy firstborn son

Satan = unholy spirit / spiritual father


Objections

● I thought Satan wanted to counterfeit God the Father, since Jesus said: “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.” (John 8:44). Jesus was telling the Pharisees that Satan was their spiritual father, in general – by imitating Satan who is the father of lies, since they were not born of God, but born of spiritual fornication (vv. 41—42); not that Satan will counterfeit the Father in specific regards to the unholy trinity of the end times.

● I thought Satan wanted to counterfeit God the Father, since the Father is the ultimate authority, as Jesus said: “My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all” (John 10:29; and any other such passages that suggests this same idea, such as: Matthew 11:27; 28:18; 1 Corinthians 8:6; 11:3).This study has been on the “How” Satan will attempt to achieve his goal, through counterfeiting the Trinity. Three questions I would ask those who are espousing this objection:

1.) If Satan counterfeits the Holy Spirit to achieve his end goal, Would you say the Holy Spirit is less God than the Father?
The obvious answer is: NO.

2.) What does the Scripture actually say?
“I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High” (Isaiah 14:14).
Yahweh is the most High (Psalm 83:18)

3.) Is Yahweh only the Father? Or is Yahweh: Father, Firstborn Son and Holy Spirit?
The Christian answer is: NO. YES.

Since these are the correct answers to the questions, then there should be no rational reason in opposing the understanding I have presented.

● Some scholars and preachers of prophecy teach that when Scripture succinctly shows these beasts coming out of the “earth” and the “sea” that it symbolically refers to “Jewish” or “Gentile” Biblical imagery of the ethnicity of the False Prophet and the Antichrist. As Dr. David R. Reagan of Lamb and Lion Ministries testifies to: “The sea is used consistently throughout the prophetic scriptures as a symbol of the Gentile nations (Daniel 7:3; Luke 21:25; Revelation 17:1). By contrast, the Antichrist’s right hand man, the False Prophet, who will serve as his religious leader, will be a Jew. This is revealed in Revelation 13:11 where it says that John saw ‘another beast coming up out of the earth [literally, the land].’ Just as the sea is used symbolically in prophecy to refer to the Gentile nations, the land (or earth) is used to refer to Israel. This does not mean the False Prophet will be an Orthodox Jew. It only means that he will be of Jewish heritage. Religiously, he will be an apostate Jew who will head up the One World Religion of the Antichrist.”5

And Dr. Thomas Ice of the Pre-Trib Research Center indicates the possibility of a Jewish False Prophet, although not dogmatically: “While I think it may be possible that the False Prophet (Revelation 13:11—18; 16:13; 19:20; 20:10) could be a Jew (I am not saying that I necessarily think he will be)...”6

If this were the case, then it would hinder the understanding that I have advanced thus far. I will show why this is not the best position to take and will offer an amendment to our understanding.

A short interjection on whether or not “sea” “is used consistently throughout the prophetic Scriptures as a symbol of the Gentile nations” – Revelation 21:24, 26; 22:2 states there will be “nations” (plural; [the Nation of Israel and other non-Jewish (Gentile) nations]) coexisting forever in the eternal state of the new heavens and new earth. And yet Scripture clearly says that the new earth will have “no more sea” (Revelation 21:1). If “sea” consistently refers to Gentile nations in the prophetic Scriptures, then God did not need to input the plural word “nations” where it should not exist, if there were no more Gentile nations, ie. (“sea”).

As for “earth” being referred to as “Israel” Revelation 14:14—16 says: “the Son of man” will “thrust in his sickle on the earth [“Israel”]” “for the harvest of the earth [“Israel”] is ripe.” But Jesus said, “the harvest is the end of the world” and “the field is the world” (Matthew 13:38—39). If the harvest at the end of the world is only for Israel, then that would make no sense, because it's for the whole world, since Jesus will “smite the nations” (Revelation 19:15).

This interpretative method is not how Biblical hermeneutics is normally practiced, even in prophetic Scriptures. Here are some examples:

"And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit" (Revelation 9:2)."

And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth" (Revelation 9:3).

"and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone." (Revelation 9:17).

"And another angel came out of the temple" (Revelation 14:15).

"And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven" (Revelation 16:21).

We wouldn't say in these prophetic Scriptures that the pit, the earth, their mouths, the temple, and heaven refer to some symbolic references and not to their literal references. So why would "out of the earth" and "out of the sea" not mean out of the actual literal “earth” and actual literal “sea”? I'm not saying that the “earth” and “sea” cannot correlate to and describe something in addition to its literal and actual references. But to only make the “earth” and “sea” refer to the symbolic, and not even make the symbolic refer to something within the context is not the normal implementation of Biblical hermeneutics.

In Daniel 2 and 7 we see the four world empires that will have control over Jerusalem. Nebuchadnezzar of the Babylonian Empire was a gentile. Darius and Cyrus of the Medo-Persian Empire were gentiles. Alexander the Great of the Grecian Empire was a gentile. Tiberius Caesar Augustus of the Roman Empire was a gentile. The “Times of the Gentiles” require a gentile ruler (Luke 21:24). John indicates that Jerusalem will be under Gentile rule during the last forty-two months of the Tribulation (Revelation 11:2).

Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum states: “For the Antichrist to be a Jew contradicts the very nature of the Times of the Gentiles.”7

Dr. Thomas Ice informs us that “Antichrist is a Gentile ruler is also the thrust of Revelation 17:9—12. This passage says that the Beast (John’s term in Revelation for the Antichrist) is one of ‘seven kings’ (17:10), thus, a Gentile ruler.”8

The Jewish Antichrist Theory will not be expanded on here because it is based upon speculations (such as why the tribe of Dan is missing from the list of tribes [Revelation 7:4—8]; or that the Jews will accept him, therefore he must be Jewish [John 5:43]; or that the Prince of Tyrus [a prophetic typology of the Antichrist] will “die the deaths of the uncircumcised” [Ezekiel 28:10] supposedly implying he is of the circumcision [Jews]).

Also, we have just seen that the Jewish Antichrist is a contradiction in terms. So we know that the Antichrist is a Gentile, and not Jewish. While Reagan suggests a Jewish False Prophet, this contrasts with the Gentile emphasis from Fruchtenbaum and Ice, supporting both figures as Gentiles in the proposed reordering.

In Revelation 13:11 the word “another” is the Greek word “allos” (G243) which expresses: “a numerical difference and denotes ‘another of the same sort.’”9 Jesus used this same word when He promised to send “another” Comforter “another like Himself”10 (John 14:16). Since the Antichrist is a Gentile, this supports the position that the False Prophet will not be a Jew, but will in fact, be a Gentile.

This second beast [a man] is “another of the same sort”11 of beast as the first beast and shall likewise have the same identifying markers as the first beast will. He will be of the same ethnicity, same location, with the same appearance as the first beast which “was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion.” (Revelation 13:2), since they are both of the same family – a father and his firstborn son.

In Revelation 13:1 and 11, the word “out of” is the Greek word “ek” or “ex” (G1537) which means: “a primary preposition denoting origin (the point whence action or motion proceeds).”12

I propose an amendment to the common interpretation: that within this context, “earth” and “sea” are literal references to the actual “earth” and “sea” (more specifically, the literal earth and the literal Mediterranean Sea) which could correlate to and describe the occupation or the area of specialization of the False Prophet and the Antichrist (the point whence action or motion proceeds).

As a possible interpretation, a studious reader can glean from the Scriptures that the False Prophet is a religious and financial figure whose occupation or the area of specialization would be the Climate Change Agenda, being an Environmentalist (Revelation 13:13—14; 8:7—9:4; 18), to rehabilitate the destruction of the environment from the judgments of God – especially in the restoration and/or building of Babylon (whatever that may fully entail). The literal reference to this beast coming up out of the actual “earth” could be that he dies, is buried and is resurrected to receive his resurrected body that is necessary to endure the eternal torments of the “lake of fire” in Revelation 19:20.

This literal understanding is in line with Dr. Gregory Harris' article: "Can Satan Raise the Dead? Can Satan Create Life? Towards a Biblical View to the Wound of the Beast in Revelation 13"13

As another possibility, the occupation or the area of specialization of the Antichrist would be the Commander of the Navy/Air Force/Army which have vessels in the “sea” to house and transport troops, planes, war materials and machinery (Revelation 13:1, 4, 7). The literal reference to this beast coming up out of the actual “sea” could be that he is flying a helicopter which takes off from a vessel in the Mediterranean Sea.

More can be said on this issue such as the Seleucid dynasty that Antiochus IV Epiphanes (the Biblical forerunner (prototype) of the Antichrist) came from is a dynasty of a father and son. Or that the Antichrist is a prince who becomes king, therefore his father must also be a prince or a king. But we will not delve into that here.

In this study, we have presented five major objections to adjusting the current order of the unholy trinity: Satan being the literal father of the Antichrist; the False Prophet counterfeiting the Holy Spirit, not the Father; Satan being the father of unbelievers; Satan wanting to counterfeit the Father, not the Holy Spirit; and that the words “earth” and “sea” symbolically refers to “Jewish” or “Gentile” Biblical imagery of the ethnicity of the False Prophet and the Antichrist.

In conclusion, according to proper application of the Scriptures, people alive during the 70th week of Daniel will see a Gentile father and his firstborn son as the False Prophet and the Antichrist. And Satan will be the unseen, unholy spirit giving them their power, authority and signs to deceive those who dwell upon the earth. This reordering offers a potential interpretive refinement that better fits the patterns of deception, though it remains a minority perspective worthy of further study.

False Prophet = unholy father

Antichrist = unholy firstborn son
