The beast is the anti-christ. The anti-christ prophet is the one who will present the anti-christ to the world, by bringing fire from the sky and miracles. The whore that rides the beast is the Apostate Church. I have no idea who the anti-christ will be, but suspect he will come out of the European Union, and is the little horn that comes out from the destroyed from the seven world Governments, headquarted in Rome ( political government). He could come out of either Belgium or Germany. The anti-christ prophet could be a Jew that sets up a one world religion, headquarters in Jeruslam. Interesting to note is the Pope's Mother was a Jew.
