Rhom off PNW asked: Will Satan indwell the Antichrist?
I thought it would be a good Bible study for us to search the scriptures about this topic.
Since I already answered his question as seen here, I would also like y'alls input about the subject.

Good question, Rhom.
A good place to start reading about Satan is Rev. 12 and 13 where we see that Satan is cast out of heaven along with his angels down to the earth.
When you study Job 1:6, you have to understand that Satan currently is in the heavenlies,and he is an accuser of man in Zechariah 3.
In Rev. 12:9, Satan will be cast down to the earth.
In Rev. 12:13, he will attack the woman (Israel) who will flee to the wilderness (which I believe to be Petra).
In Rev. 12:17, the devil will go after Israel's remnant.
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first,and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition.
So I believe this scripture is saying the 'man of sin' is revealed 'the son of perdition.'
In John 17:12 after careful study you will see that Judas was called the same name: son of perdition.
In Luke 22:3
Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve.
Also found in John 13:26-27.
Since the Antichrist is also called the 'son of perdition' as Judas; then I believe Satan will enter the Antichrist who is also called 'son of perdition.'
When you study Ez 28 and Isa 14, the scriptures speak of a King of Tyre.
After careful study, one can understand scriptures are speaking of the Antichrist.
The language goes beyond the king of Tyre to Satan, inspirer and unseen ruler of all such pomp and pride as that of Tyre.
Notice the only one in Eden of Ez 28:13 was Satan.
You will recall Satan was used as a cherub, the guardian of God's throne room found in Ez 28:14.
Remember he was the most wonderful angel ever created,but pride became his fall.
Remember the 'I wills' in Isa 14:13~
I will be like the Most High
Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol.
He wanted to be like the Most High,but he was cast down.
In the same way, the Antichrist will exalt himself over god and the true God found in Daniel 11:36.
During the last half of the Tribulation, Satan is the force behind the Antichrist which he indwells him just like he did to Judas.
Hope you will take the time to study these scriptures as a whole~
