Yes — the counterfeit trinity in Revelation is Satan, the Antichrist, and the false prophet.
Les Feldick teaches that throughout Revelation there is an unholy trinity: Satan is the counterfeit of God the Father, the Antichrist is the counterfeit of God the Son, and the false prophet is the counterfeit of the Holy Spirit and His work (Clip 1). The false prophet is a religious leader who causes the earth to worship the Antichrist, just as the genuine Holy Spirit draws people to God the Son (Clip 2). This counterfeit trinity works in unison, though the Antichrist and the false prophet are men who go to their doom while Satan joins them later (Clip 5).
Revelation 13:11-14 — This passage introduces the second beast — the religious leader Les identifies as the false prophet — and shows him working wonders and directing worship to the first beast.
The book of Revelation never uses the phrase 'counterfeit trinity,' but it does describe a second beast who acts like a false religious leader. Revelation 13:11 says, 'And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.' Verse 12 continues: '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.' Verses 13-14 add: '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.' Revelation 19:20 gives this second beast his title: 'And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.' Scripture shows the false prophet performing miracles, deceiving people, and being destroyed with the first beast.
Les teaches that throughout the book of Revelation there is an unholy trinity — a counterfeit trinity. Satan is the counterfeit of the Father, the Antichrist is the counterfeit of the Son, and the false prophet is a counterfeit of the Holy Spirit and His work (Clips 1, 3). He describes the second beast of Revelation 13:11 as a man and also a religious system, not a political government. This religious leader works under the inspiration of Satan and exercises all the power of the first beast, causing the mass of humanity to worship the political leader, the Antichrist (Clips 3, 6). Les repeatedly compares this to the Holy Spirit's genuine ministry: just as the Holy Spirit draws lost people to God the Son, this false prophet causes people to worship the counterfeit son, the Antichrist (Clip 2). He does much of what the Holy Spirit does legitimately — he does great wonders and makes fire come down from heaven — but unlike the Holy Spirit, who never deceives, this counterfeit deceives those who dwell on the earth through his miracles (Clip 2). Les also points out that Revelation 19 is where this figure is named the false prophet, and that the Antichrist and false prophet, though men, go to their doom while Satan joins them later (Clips 1, 5).
Les Feldick says the three members are Satan, the Antichrist, and the false prophet. He calls it an unholy trinity throughout Revelation: Satan is the counterfeit of the Father, the Antichrist is the counterfeit of the Son, and the false prophet is the counterfeit of the Holy Spirit (Clip 1). He says these three work in unison much like the Holy Trinity, even though the Antichrist and false prophet are only human men who will go to their doom (Clip 5).
Les shows that the false prophet is a religious leader — a counterfeit of the Holy Spirit not so much in his makeup as in his operation (Clip 3). Just as the Holy Spirit draws people to God the Son, this false prophet causes people to worship the Antichrist, the counterfeit son (Clip 2). He does great wonders, even making fire come down from heaven in the sight of men, and by those miracles he deceives those who dwell on the earth. The Holy Spirit never deceives; the false prophet does (Clip 2).
Les identifies the second beast as the false prophet. He says it is another beast coming up out of the earth, and that while it is a man, it is also a religious system rather than a political government (Clip 3). This religious leader exercises all the power of the first beast and causes those on earth to worship the first beast, the Antichrist (Clip 6). Revelation 19 is where he is actually named the false prophet (Clip 1).
Daniel's Dream, the Antichrist & the Mark of the Beast
He was called on Gentile ground outside of Damascus. And that sets him totally apart from the twelve. And if any of you ever doubt me, why, you just read Galatians chapter 1 and chapter 2 very carefully, and you'll quickly notice that Paul emphasizes that he had nothing to do with the twelve back there in Jerusalem.
The Unholy Trinity Defined
Les defines the unholy trinity: Satan counterfeits the Father, the Antichrist counterfeits the Son, and the false prophet counterfeits the Holy Spirit and His work. He also notes Revelation 19 is where this figure is named.
False Prophet as Counterfeit of the Holy Spirit
Les compares the genuine Holy Spirit drawing people to God the Son with this religious leader causing people to worship the Antichrist. He says the false prophet does great wonders and deceives earth-dwellers because, unlike the Holy Spirit, he is a deceiver.
The Second Beast as a Religious System
Les explains that the 'another beast' of Revelation 13:11 is a man but also a religious system, not a political government. The false prophet is a counterfeit of the Holy Spirit, especially in operation.
The Counterfeit Christ
Les states that the rider in Revelation 6 who lacks the descriptions attached to Revelation 19 must be the counterfeit Christ, the Antichrist, and that the tribulation period confronts us with an unholy trinity.
Unholy Trinity Working in Unison
Les shows that Satan, the Antichrist, and the false prophet work in unison much as the Holy Trinity does; the Holy Spirit points people to the Son, and these three counterfeit that pattern. He also says the two human members will go to their doom while Satan joins later.
Worship of the First Beast
Les emphasizes that this religious leader exercises all the power of the political leader and, under the cloak of religion and Satan's inspiration, causes humanity to worship the Antichrist. He repeats the counterfeit trinity framework: Satan counterfeits the Father.
The White Horse Rider: Antichrist or Jesus? Revelation 6
And we�ve had others, and we�ll have still more, but it�s going to be culminated by the real counterfeiter, the real Antichrist, and he�s going to convince the world that he is the Christ, and he shall deceive many. Now on your way back to Revelation, just stop at I John for a moment, the little letter by the same writer.
Revelation 13:11: And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
This verse introduces the second beast, the religious leader Les identifies as the false prophet.
Revelation 13:12: 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 uses the Antichrist's power to direct worship to him.
Revelation 13:13: And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
The false prophet performs miracles that imitate the genuine work of the Holy Spirit.
Revelation 13:14: 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; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Unlike the Holy Spirit, this counterfeit uses miracles to deceive earth-dwellers.
Revelation 19:20: And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Revelation 19 explicitly calls this figure the false prophet and shows his destruction with the beast.
The counterfeit trinity is made up of Satan, the Antichrist, and the false prophet. Les Feldick describes Satan as the counterfeit of God the Father, the Antichrist as the counterfeit of God the Son, and the false prophet as the counterfeit of the Holy Spirit (Clip 1).
Les says Revelation 19 is the place where the second beast is actually called the false prophet (Clip 1). There he is cast alive with the beast into the lake of fire.
Yes. Les points out that unlike the Holy Spirit, who never deceives, this counterfeit does great wonders and deceives those who dwell on the earth through miracles (Clip 2).
