The thing about the 'little' beast is it's a man (we have his number) but more specifically, it's an office. One which "worked mighty miracles, and while people watched, it even made fire come down from the sky" (Rev/Apoc 13:13 Contemporary English Version) - think Hiroshima, Nagasaki - fire which causes man to rebuild (and make an image to) the (big) beast (13:14) "which was and was not" (17:11) and when he reaches full stature (with) will "give breath" (authority) "to the" (big) "beast" (13:15).
