The Antichrist and the false prophet are cast alive into the lake of fire and remain there forever.
Revelation 19:20 says both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone after the tribulation and Christ's return. Revelation 20:10 shows that a thousand years later, when Satan is cast into that same lake, the beast and the false prophet are still there, tormented day and night for ever and ever. Les Feldick teaches that they do not go before the Great White Throne and are not annihilated.
Revelation 19:20 — This verse directly describes the beast and the false prophet being taken and cast alive into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:10 — This verse shows that after the thousand years, the beast and the false prophet are still in the lake of fire when Satan is cast in.
In Revelation 19:20, after the tribulation and the return of Christ, the beast is taken along with the false prophet. The false prophet is described as the one who wrought miracles before the beast and deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and worshipped his image. The verse then states that both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. In Revelation 20:10, after the thousand years have ended, the devil that deceived the nations is cast into the lake of fire and brimstone. The verse says this is 'where the beast and the false prophet are.' It then declares that they 'shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.'
Les Feldick teaches that the beast in Revelation is the Antichrist, and the person taken with him is the false prophet — the only place that title is given (Clip 1). He emphasizes that both are human beings: the Antichrist was the political ruler and the false prophet was the religious leader during the seven-year tribulation (Clip 6). They are cast alive into the lake of fire at the end of the tribulation, becoming the first inhabitants of that eternal doom without going through the Great White Throne judgment (Clips 4, 5). Les repeatedly stresses that they are not annihilated. After a thousand years they are still in the lake of fire, and they will continue to be tormented day and night forever (Clips 2, 3). He also explains that Satan, the Antichrist, and the false prophet form an unholy trinity — Satan works like God the Father, the false prophet works like the Holy Spirit, and the Antichrist is the object of worship like Christ (Clips 6, 7).
No. Revelation 20:10 reveals that after the thousand years, Satan is cast into the lake of fire 'where the beast and the false prophet are' — they are still present. Les Feldick comments that they have been in the lake of fire for a thousand years and are not annihilated; they continue to be tormented day and night forever.
No. Les Feldick teaches that the beast and the false prophet go directly to the lake of fire at Christ's return, without benefit of the Great White Throne judgment. All other lost people stand before that judgment, but these two are cast alive into the lake of fire and are the first to inhabit it. Satan joins them later, also without a Great White Throne appearance.
Les Feldick explains that Satan, the Antichrist, and the false prophet form an unholy trinity. Satan corresponds to God the Father, the false prophet corresponds to the Holy Spirit by performing miracles and causing people to worship the Antichrist, and the Antichrist corresponds to Christ as the object of that worship. These three work in unison, just as the Holy Trinity works in unison.

And now, here is Les Feldick.
The Beast Is the Antichrist
Les shows that the figure called 'the beast' in Revelation 19:20 is the Antichrist and that this is the only place the companion figure is called 'the false prophet.'
Still There After a Thousand Years
Les explains that after a thousand years the beast and false prophet are still in the lake of fire, unchanged and not annihilated.
No Annihilation
Les stresses that the lake of fire punishment is ongoing, and he warns against believing they will simply be burned up.
Cast Alive Into the Lake
Les emphasizes that both men are cast alive into the lake of fire and become its first inhabitants without going through the Great White Throne.
Bypassing the Great White Throne
Les notes that the Antichrist, false prophet, and later Satan are the only three personalities who enter the lake of fire without a Great White Throne hearing.
Both Are Human Men
Les clarifies that the Antichrist and false prophet are human beings born of women—one as a political ruler and the other as a religious leader.
Two Members of the Unholy Trinity
Les explains that the false prophet and Antichrist work with Satan as an unholy mirror of the Trinity, with the false prophet directing worship to the Antichrist.
Revelation 19:20: 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 verse directly records the capture and casting of the beast and false prophet into the lake of fire.
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.
This verse proves their continued presence in the lake of fire when Satan joins them a thousand years later.
Yes. Revelation 19:20 says they are cast alive into the lake of fire. Les Feldick teaches that they are the first to inhabit it and do not appear before the Great White Throne judgment, as the rest of the lost will.
