What Happens to the Antichrist and False Prophet at the End of the Tribulation?

Direct Answer

The Antichrist and the false prophet are cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone (Revelation 19:20).

They do not go before the Great White Throne judgment but are thrown directly into the lake of fire. A thousand years later, when Satan is cast in, the beast and false prophet are still there, tormented day and night for ever and ever (Revelation 20:10).

Key Scriptures

Revelation 19:20 — This verse records the beast and false prophet being taken and cast alive into the lake of fire.

Revelation 20:10 — It shows they remain in the lake of fire a thousand years later when Satan is cast in with them.

What Does the Bible Say?

Revelation 19:20 says, "And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone." This plainly states that the beast and the false prophet are cast alive into the lake of fire after Christ returns and the tribulation has run its course. The false prophet is specifically the one who performed miracles before the beast and deceived those who received the mark of the beast and worshipped his image. Revelation 20:10 then says, "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." The word "are" shows that one thousand years later the beast and the false prophet are still in the lake of fire. Scripture presents no annihilation for them.

What Does Les Feldick Teach About the Fate of the Antichrist and False Prophet?

Les Feldick identifies the Antichrist as "the beast" and the false prophet as a second human being. Both are men born of women and become tools of Satan — one the political leader, the other the religious leader. He stresses they are part of the unholy trinity: Satan as the counterfeit of God the Father, the Antichrist as the counterfeit of Christ, and the false prophet as the counterfeit of the Holy Spirit. Les explains that they are cast alive into the lake of fire immediately and do not go to hell. They skip the Great White Throne judgment. After a thousand years, Revelation 20:10 shows they are still there when Satan joins them. Les repeatedly emphasizes that they are not annihilated; they remain in the lake of fire and are tormented day and night forever.

Are the Antichrist and False Prophet Real Human Beings?

Les Feldick emphasizes that both the Antichrist (the beast) and the false prophet are men born of women, raised like any other child. They become tools of Satan — one serving as the political leader and the other as the religious leader. Scripture records that they are both cast alive into the lake of fire in Revelation 19:20.

Why Do They Go Straight to the Lake of Fire Instead of the Great White Throne?

Revelation 19:20 says "These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone." Les notes that these two do not go to hell; they go immediately to the lake of fire. They are among the only personalities who go to the lake of fire without standing before the Judge at the Great White Throne.

Will the Antichrist and False Prophet Be Annihilated?

No. Revelation 20:10 says that after the thousand years the beast and false prophet "are" still in the lake of fire when Satan is cast in, and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Les Feldick rejects the idea that they are burned up or annihilated, calling that contrary to Scripture.

What Is the Unholy Trinity?

Les teaches that throughout the book of Revelation there is an unholy trinity: Satan is the counterfeit of God the Father, the Antichrist is the counterfeit of Christ, and the false prophet is the counterfeit of the Holy Spirit and His work. Just as the Holy Spirit leads believers to worship Christ, the false prophet will cause people to worship the Antichrist.

When Are They Cast Into the Lake of Fire?

This happens at the end of the tribulation, after the tribulation has run its course and Christ has returned. Revelation 19:20 describes the beast being taken, and with him the false prophet, as they are both cast alive into the lake of fire.
