In Revelation 13, the dragon (often interpreted as Satan) gives power, authority, and a throne to the beast from the sea, which is also referred to as the Antichrist. This beast is a powerful figure who exercises all the authority of the first beast (Antichrist) and causes the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first beast. The beast also performs great signs and deceives people, leading them to create an image of the beast and worship it.
