The Beast wages war and overcomes the holy ones, but it all happens according to the plan, foreknowledge, and predetermined strategy of Yahweh Adonai (Plan-A).
The Beast will physically overcome the holy ones sealing them in the truth that they are the ones who are now overcoming, now and forever having the victory. The Beast will usher them into the arms of Jesus and into their eternal reward (those promises) that go on and on and on and on and on
The Beast is also given “authority” over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. He did not earn it, deserve it, or take it; it was given to him. Just like it was all given to the dragon.
All those who are now choosing to make their permanent abode on the earth, shall, in the future, worship the Beast—those whose name has not been caused to be written in the book of life of the Lamb. The fate of a specific group, the Vessels of Wrath, had been sealed by God because they chose to prepare themselves and give themselves to the Beast.
