Who are the beast and the false prophet in Revelation 20:10?
The beast is the Antichrist, a human being who will be the world ruler, and the false prophet is another human being who will be the religious leader during that seven-year period. They already are in the lake of fire, are not annihilated, and will be tormented day and night forever.
Les explains that verse 10 describes the devil who deceived them being cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast—the Antichrist, that human being who will be the world ruler—and the false prophet—another human being who will be the religious leader of that seven years—already are. Contrary to what some may say, they are not annihilated. They have been in the lake of fire for a thousand years, they are still there, and they will continue to be tormented day and night forever and ever.
