The scripture from Rev. 13 concerning the dragon ( Satan ) gave power to the beast ( antichrist ) sure take away those who think Satan is the one called the antichrist spoken in scriptures.
The head that was wounded I see as one of the 10 Kings have a internal trouble within it's kingdom and the beasts saves and repairs the trouble within that kingdom.
you know how people say Jesus is the son of God his image on earth ?
The dragon is a spiritual being and the beast is the dragon in the flesh , the image of Satan in a man in the same way jesus is Gods image in a man
also you are the spiritual dragon
losing a war in heaven and he gets cast out of heaven into earth
“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and
behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And the
great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was
cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
….And
the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”
Revelation 12:3, 9, 17 KJV
you have a war in heaven and then a war beginning on earth but in order to persecute and war against the men of God on earth he has to raise up man in his own image who can go to war with those Christian’s who have the gospel in them
So you have the spiritual dragon
“behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.”
His image is manifest in earth in order to rule the earth through men
“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and
saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
And I saw
one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
And they
worshipped the dragon ( spirit ) which gave power unto the beast: ( man more likely a nation ruled by a man ) and
they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
And
it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.”
Revelation 13:1, 3-4, 7 KJV
do you see how the dragon being cast into earth , declaring war on those brethren of Christ Who believe his testimony leads to the beast that looks like the dragon rising up and going to war with the people of God who are in the earth ?
So you have Satan raising up a man (a king of a kingdom ) in His own image and giving him power on earth to overcome the saints for an appointed time. It’s a mock the beast even appears to have a deadly wound , but yet he lives a mock of the resurrection
you see how the dragon brought forth the beast and gave him power and authority and then you have a third personage appeering with the same power and authority coming from Satan and glorifying the beast who appears to have died and yet lives ( a false messiah who speaks like Satan )
“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.
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.
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.
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.
Revelation 13:11-12, 14KJV
My point is that they are all three connected like the father son and holy ghost it’s like an anti trinity the dragon , the beast and the second beast
appears like a lamb with two horns but
he speaks differently than the lamb ,
like a dragon.
It’s a false church filled with a false spirit worshipping the false messiah ( the first beast ) who serves and speaks for the dragon
