Is it possible, yes. Is it likely, certainly not.

No, Satan is not left out of chapter 13. He is worshiped in chapter 13. You just have to know how.You all leave Satan out of the chapter, yet Satan is the one allowed to do anything. Remember Job? Revelation 12 and 13 are about Satan directly and it mirrors Daniel 11. Except this time, Satan is front and center.
Hi,
Is it possible the "Antichrist" or "Man of Lawlessness" is a French Canadian-Chinese ?
And what will the Antichrist/Man of Lawlessness do ? Set up a "New World Order" ?
The False Prophet has the world make an image to beast (the little horn>Antichrist>beast) person. i.e. the mortally wounded, but healed, head on the beast coming out of the sea.
14 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.
So the people of the world makes the image. A statue image of the beast person. Just like the children of Israel made an image of the golden calf.
It will be lifeless, and likely covered in gold. And placed on the temple courtyard, out in the open where everyone can see it.
Then, the false prophet person does a huge miracle (a lying mircale ) and brings the image to life. But it will actually be Satan incarnating the image - making it appear to come to life. And everyone will be required to worship the image. That's how Satan will be worshiped.
15 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.
Antichrist = anyone against Christ including the liberal scholar who denies Him
The Beast = political leader
In Ezekiel 28:16-19, Satan will be revealed physically, after being cast down to earth.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
Satan will be cast down to earth from (the second) heaven in Revelation 12:7-9. Having a time/times/half time left.
In Revelation 13:4 the world worships the dragon.
In Revelation 13:15 the world woships the image of the beast.
In Ezekiel 28:18 God brings a fire in the midst of Satan, turned to ashes.
When all those things are put together, the false prophet has an image made of the beast person, who will be backed by Satan. The image will be a statue and placed on the temple mount, out in the open in plain site, lifeless. It will be the abomination of desolation, and will be the signal for the Jews in Judeah to flee into the mountains to save their lives.
As they are fleeing, the two witnesses are battling with the beast in Revelation 11, until he finally overcomes them and has them killed.
That will be the last straw for God, and He has Satan and his angels cast down to earth, the final enactment to destroy Satan and his mystical kingdom of Babylon the great.
Cast down to earth, knowing he has but a little time left, Satan is a terror.
He incarnates the statue image, making it appear to come to life, and speak. The false prophet demands that everyone worship the image or die for refusing.
The world is plunged into the great tribulation for 1335 days until Jesus returns. At Jesus's Return, the statue will be melted to ashes in the presence of Jesus. And Satan will be exposed there on the temple mount.
A lone angel will descend, bind Satan with a chain, and Satan cast into the bottomless pit. Revelation 20:1-2. Satan will be physically visible to everyone that day.
And we are on the verge of those things happening.

Ezekiel 28:16-19, figuratively speaks of Satan as the king of Tyre. Tyre is not Babylon. Tyre was a city state on the island of Tyre (until Alexander connected it to the mainland).
Ezekiel 28:1-10, figuratively speaks of the little horn/Antichrist/beast person as the prince of Tyre.
A prince is the son of the king. Implying the figurative saying regarding the prince as "son of hell" "son of perdition".
Satan is figuratively the king of Babylon in Isaiah 14, beginning in v12. Then in v15-16, it switches to the little horn/Antichrist/person being brought down to hell. The person in 2Thessalonians2:3 is called the son of perdition. Which another time in the bible referred to Judas, who Satan entered to carry of the betrayal of Jesus.
From that, it appears that Satan will enter the Antichrist person to carry out the act of betrayal to the Jewish people when he goes into the temple, sits, claims to have achieved God-hood. His act previously recorded in Ezekiel 28:1-10.
Ezekiel 28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
It goes back all the way to Genesis, when Satan through the serpent, claimed that Adam and Eve could become like God, i.e. gods themselves.
The little horn person in Daniel 8 rises to power, by craft, not his own power. In Jewish mysticism, Kabbalah, there is the belief that a person can direct the angels to accomplished the adepts goals and agenda. It is a dangerous practice because it can go array. There is a story about the rise and fall of Rabbi Joseph Della Reina, who attempted to bring in the messianic age, by binding up the Samael and Lillith. But the rabbi made a mis-step and ended up going off the deep end, ultimately drowning himself.
The story is on the internet, by a google search, on the rise and fall of Rabbi Joseph Della Reina, if you want to read about it. (oops, I just tried and could not open the blog site - I think it was taken down dreamingofmoshiach.blogsp...oseph.html Oh, it did finally come up, it took several minutes to load.)
Since then, to practice Kabbalah, Jews are required to be 40 years old and married.
Anyway, the little horn person gets involved with Satan, and that is the beginning of his end. Daniel 8:
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
In Revelation 13, the person receives his power from the dragon, Satan.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
John 3 is a whole chapter, how can I explain it to you, here? Also, I do not claim to know the exact meaning of all verses in the Bible.Then you explain to me the words of Jesus in John 3. Jesus was speaking in symbols. I doubt you will find one symbolic free verse in the Bible to represent your "anything goes" approach to life.
Satan and his third of the angels were booted out of the third heaven eons ago. Satan and his angels realm to freely roam is the second and first heaven. The cosmos and earth.Most “literalists” or whatever I discuss with say that Satan is cast out in Ezekiel 28, but this happened long ago, before God created the world. Now you’re saying that it is a prediction of the future.
And those who place it onto 1st century news papers are not any different than 19th, 20th, and 21st century newspapers. Have you seen all the over complicated charts of 1st century preterist? Just because you may not have one, does not mean they are not out there. There is no result in the past either. Satan was not revealed in the first century, nor had the Gospel reached 21st century humanity.
Satan seems to be one who points out the futility of taking God's Word literally. That is how he decieved Eve. Should we take knowing good and evil as literal, or just some symbolic wisdom? Satan does not have to do much. He just wants the church to do nothing. Seems most agree with him, and choose not to take God at His Word, but excuse themselves from the narrative as being something hard to grasp.Doesn't matter. There are people who just grew a fanaticism over the "end of the world" and give out all these nonsense conclusions because of thinking a symbolic book is to be taken literally.
You'd think, the Bible and Revelations being over or almost 2000 years published wouldn't it be almost like a clue/guideline for satan not to follow seeing how it is a big "spoiler alert"?
This. I highly doubt the Jews will consider a French Canadian-Chinese as their messiah.
Satan and his third of the angels were booted out of the third heaven eons ago. Satan and his angels realm to freely roam is the second and first heaven. The cosmos and earth.
Satan will be cast down from the second heaven in Revelation 12:7-9, restricted to earth. Satan and his angels's mystical kingdom (not a physical kingdom, like the Israel, the U.S., the EU, etc.) is metaphorically called Babylon the Great.
In Revelation 18, Babylon is fallen is fallen is referring to Satan and his angels being cast down to earth - as God during the second half of the seven years begins a process of dismantling Satan's kingdom.
Michael is Jesus Christ.
Says who? (Other than Adventists / EGW)
The beast is an image that comes to life by the breath of Satan. This image that comes to life is placed in the Temple. Satan is seen by all the world bringing this beast to life. Point that out in the first century and you have the text of Revelation 13.
