David, if you read my opening post again, I don't think the beast in the bottomless pit is Satan himself. But the serpent, the literal beast, in the garden.When this beast ascends out of the bottomless pit, who you take to mean satan, it is clearly meaning in this age prior to the 2nd coming. That equals Amil not Premil, assuming you are correct that the scarlet coloured beast is meaning satan.
Both beasts (implied) in Revelation 17:8 are principal's of Satan's mystery plan. Both sold/will sell out to Satan to rule the nations of the world. Satan offered that same deal to Jesus, but Jesus refused.
4. The beast in Revelation 17:8a represents the original serpent in the Garden of Eden, now in the bottomless pit as a disembodied spirit.
5. The beast in Revelation 17:8b represents the end times person, the man in Revelation 13:1, who the world will witness being killed and come back to life.
The end times person will be possessed by the serpent spirit that will ascend out of the bottomless pit. Neither is Satan.
