Could Satan himself be the Beast of Revelation?

[Paidion]

The Chaldean language often changes an “s” or an “sh” into a “t”. For example, the Hebrew “shekel” is the Chaldean “tekel.” Satan's name among the devil-worshippers of Kurdistan is “Sheitan.” In Chaldean, this is “teitan.” The Greek letters for “teitan” are τ,ε,ι,τ,α,ν. The numerical value of these Greek letters add up to 666. The name τειταν (teitan) was suggested by Irenæus as a possible name of the antichrist. (Against Heresies, Book 5, ch 30, sec 3)

In Rev 20.10 it distinguishes between the devil and beast and false prophet being thrown into the lake of fire. In other words it says the devil was thrown into the LOF where the beast and false prophet already were.

Thanks Steve 7150. You are right, of course. But what if Teitan is a man inspired by the Devil, and so takes on the name of the Devil? Then Teitan could be thrown into the Lake of Fire to be followed later by his master, the Devil.

Sure whether it's a man or govt or religion or different entities at different times it is very likely inspired by Satan.
