Antichrist is a spirit affecting many things.

The Beast and False prophet are individuals.

 

Who and what will people be required to worship under the end-time Roman Empire called "Babylon"?

 

The False Prophet will demand to be worshipped. He is described in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 as "the man of sin…the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God [despicably antichrist!]" In Daniel 7:20, 25, we read that the "other horn…shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and law."

The Beast—the evil dictator—will be worshipped because Satan will exalt and empower him (Revelation 13:4). "All who dwell on the earth will worship him" (verse 8). And the other beast (the False Prophet) "causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast"—much like the worship of the Roman emperors of old (verses 11-12). Both the Beast and the False Prophet will be possessed by the spirit of "the dragon [Satan the devil]," which explains why they will have amazing power and charisma (Revelation 16:13; 12:9).

The "image of the beast"—primarily a powerful church organization—will be worshipped (Revelation 13:14-15). Evidently it is a powerful church organization that is structured like the early Roman Empire ("the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived"—verses 3, 14). It is led by "another beast"—the powerful religious leader who "performs great signs" (verse 13). The religious leader demands worship of the image and those who refuse to worship it will be killed (verse 15).

Babylon the great of Revelation 17 and 18. Today, we might call this "the new world order"—a worldwide commercial and cultural system with a one-world religion as a unifying foundation. "She says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow'" (Revelation 18:7). The merchants of the earth especially will mourn her fall, "saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls'" (verses 15-16). "By your sorcery all the nations were deceived" (verse 23).
