Who are the three personalities of the unholy trinity in Revelation?

The three personalities of Revelation’s unholy trinity are Satan—called the dragon, old devil, and deceiver—the Antichrist/beast, and the false prophet. These three are cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where they remain forever, going straight to eternal doom without the great white throne judgment.

Les explains that verse 10 first describes the devil who deceived them—old Satan, the dragon, the old devil—being cast into the lake of fire and brimstone. Then the rest of the verse shows the Antichrist, the beast, and the false prophet, and he asks what the verb is: are. They are still there after a thousand years; they have not been annihilated or destroyed. So these three personalities who made up the unholy trinity of the tribulation go straight to that eternal doom, the lake of fire, which burns forever and ever. They go without benefit of the great white throne judgment, immediately. Later all the other lost of the ages will be joined, but they at least will have their moment before the Lord at the great white throne.

Revelation 20:10

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.
