In Revelation, first comes the Antichrist, the Beast from the Sea (mar a lago anyone?) he is given the power and authority of Satan. The whole world marvels at him and worships him. He speaks blasphemy and makes war against the saints.
Next comes the False Prophet, the Beast from the Earth. He uses the image of the Antichrist to control the world. He is granted power to cause the image of the antichrist to speak, and command all who will not worship the antichrist to be killed. He calls down fire from heaven. He forces all the people of earth to wear a mark of the antichrist on their forehead or hand to buy and sell.
Revelation 13 if you’re interested in the epic sci fi novel at the very end of the Bible. Got me through many hours of church.

Pretty sure that the Antichrist of Revelations IS a false prophet, amongst other things.
Doesn’t really matter, though, as it’s all authoritarianism fan fiction 🤷🏻
