When the devil is thrown into the lake of fire, who is already there?
When the devil is cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, the antichrist and the false prophets are already there. These two men, who served as the religious and political leaders, remain in torment day and night forever, confirming that there is no annihilation.
Les explains that after the thousand years, Satan is released for a little while to deceive the multitudes. They gather for battle, but fire from God devours them. Then the devil is cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the antichrist and the false prophets—the two men who were the religious leader as well as the political leader—are still there. They shall be tormented day and night forever and ever. Les emphasizes this proves there is no annihilation; it is a continuing thing, contrary to those who say they will just be burned up.
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
