The Mouth of the Beast

So the Beast and the False Prophet are rebellious fallen angels, not men. However, the Beast will be

Revelation 13:5 …given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies… 6 …against God… 5 …and he [will be] given authority for 42 months [= 1260 days]. … 7 It [will be] granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. 

A biblical precedent for a spokesman being called a mouth is found in the case of Moses and Aaron:

Exodus 4:16 …he [Aaron] shall speak for you [Moses] unto the people…he himself shall be to you for a mouth…

The mouth/spokesman of Revelation 13:5 was previously revealed to the prophet Daniel in his vision of Daniel 7. He is the Little Horn of verses 7 and following, who is described in phrases nearly identical to those in Revelation 13:5-7 above –

Daniel 7:8 “…[having] eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words… 25 …against the Most High. He shall afflict the saints of the Most High…and they shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time [= 1260 days].” 26 Then the [heavenly] court shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion…

So this “horn” will be the spokesman/mouthpiece of the Beast, and not be the Beast itself. He will be a servant of the Beast-spirit. He will either be a man or a Nephil, that is, an angel-man hybrid; or possibly a descendant of a Nephil. The term horn is commonly used throughout Scripture to denote a powerful human leader. For example, “horn of David” is a term used for Christ. Luke 1:69; Ps. 132:17

The Mouth of the Beast = the Little Horn will rule for only 3½ times = 42 months = 1260 days, up to the 7th Trumpet. Rev. 13:5; 11:3, 7, 15ff.; Dan. 7:25-26; 12:7 At that point, which fulfills “the time of Jacob’s trouble,” the Little Horn’s dominion is “taken away,” and he disappears from view in both the visions of Daniel and Revelation. However, the Beast, which is a spirit, will outlast him, and not meet his final doom until the Judgment of the 7th Bowl, the Battle of Armageddon.
