"anti-patterns?"


Are there anti-patterns in the book of Revelation?
What about:

Revelation 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

As the anti-pattern for:

Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

Revelation 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

So is the son of perdition going to be that similar to his father the devil?
The devil is called a red dragon, so is that why the son of perdition is called a scarlet colored beast?

The devil is seen with seven heads and ten horns, is that why the son of perdition is described exactly the same?
What is the significance of the difference?
The dragon has crowns on the seven heads, so why does the beast, instead, have the crowns on the horns?

Are the seven heads on the dragon, showing seven very powerful, fallen, celestial princes, that serve under the headship of the devil?
Is that why they have the crowns?

Are the ten horns on the beast, showing ten kings, on earth, that will serve under the headship of the son of perdition?
Is that why they have crowns?

So on both, there are seven heads and ten crowns, is that to show that the earthly, last Gentile kingdom,
will be after the pattern of the celestial, fallen principalities and powers?

Does the devil rule over the seven princes, like the son of perdition will rule over the ten kings?
But is the beast's kingdom to be completely after the pattern of that of the dragon's rule?
