Will the following lines in the book of Revelation:

 

Revelation 13:2d and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

 4:a And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast:

11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

 

Revelation 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

 

actually be a counterfeit of what happened back in the book of Exodus:

 

Exodus 7: 1 And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
