There are actually TWO beasts of Revelation, which I described in THIS POST. Here's an excerpt that is related to your question:
The only thing Scripture tells us is that though the beasts of Revelation (i.e. Satan and his demon minions) continue to influence and dominant the world, he can never dominate the Christian, even if he takes away our earthly lives:
In other words, Christians may or may not be aware of the Beasts of Revelation (after all, there are many, many interpretations as to who exactly the Beasts really are), but they need not be afraid of them. God will not punish Christians, but rather ensures that they will conquer Satan and his forces:
Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain (Rev. 13:7-8).
And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death (Rev. 12:11).
