Interactive Chart of Beast Power Systems

Revelation shows that Satan has devised a strategy to steer people away from true worship of God. He has used various political powers to achieve this, employing tactics like oppression, persecution, conquest, and warfare. His ultimate goal is to lead people to betray God and turn to idolatry. He aims to undermine God’s City by creating a counterfeit version to attract and hold people in his own instead.

The Bible uses symbols like dragon, beast, heads, horns, and crowns to describe how Satan employs earthly governments to align with his false faith system and create a powerful politico-religious force for deception. The ultimate goal is spiritual. While Satan uses earthly powers to advance his plan, the focus is not on every power that has existed in history but on those that primarily represent his effort to lead people into his alternative faith system.
