mysterious characters in the book of revelation

In the book of Revelation there are some mysterious characters. Who do you think they might be? There is the strong angel, the beast from the earth who gains his strength from his sickness, the false prophet, and a few others.

What if the Strong Angel is the Angel of Our Lord Jesus Himself? He is the Only Strong One in the universe, as it is His strength which is perfected in weakness.

The beast from the earth could be lucifer. "He is made strong by his sickness." What could that possibly mean? lucifer, from the beginning of time, has acted as though he is the strongest one on the earth. He also thinks that he is stronger than all humans. What if his sickness is his addiction to tormenting humans on the earth (and warring against God non-stop, day and night, and saying in his heart that he will sit higher than the Most High)? What if it is not God's will for lucifer to have prisoners in the eternal lake of fire? What if that is the false prophecy that has been spread by lucifer himself since God created him? (which would also make lucifer the false prophet).

What do you think?

Why not just take one thought at a time ?
I'll start with the definition of the lake of fire according to Revelation 20:13-14.
There the lake is defined as a symbolic ' second death '.
Satan ends up in ' second death ' - Revelation 21:8
Jesus destroys Satan - Hebrews 2:14 B
So, ' second death ' is a fitting term for: destruction. As in the wicked will be destroyed forever - Psalms 92:7

The beasts of revelation are political beasts - compare Daniel chapters 7 and 8 with Revelation chapter 13.
