What Is the Fate of Satan, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet?

Direct Answer

All three are cast into the lake of fire, where the antichrist and false prophet are already being tormented when Satan joins them after the thousand-year reign.

Revelation 19:20 shows the beast and the false prophet being cast alive into the lake of fire at the end of the tribulation. Revelation 20:10 shows Satan being cast into the same lake after being released from the bottomless pit. There they 'shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever,' and Les Feldick stresses that they are not annihilated.

Key Scriptures

Revelation 20:10 — This verse directly states that the devil is cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and false prophet already are, tormented forever.

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

What Does the Bible Say?

Revelation 19:20 records that the beast (the Antichrist) and the false prophet were taken and 'both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.' Revelation 20:7-9 describes Satan being loosed after the thousand years and going out to deceive the nations, gathering them to battle; fire comes down from God out of heaven and devours them. 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.' The verse closes with the promise that they 'shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.' This is the clear scriptural fate of all three.

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

Les Feldick teaches that the beast (the Antichrist) and the false prophet are two human beings—one the political leader and the other the religious leader—who are cast alive into the lake of fire at the end of the tribulation. He points out that they do not go to hell but go directly to the lake of fire, and they are the first inhabitants of that eternal doom. When Satan is later cast into the same lake after the thousand-year reign, the beast and false prophet are still there, proving they have not been annihilated or destroyed. Les also emphasizes that these three go to their doom without appearing before the Great White Throne judgment, and he refers to them as the 'unholy trinity' working in unison just as the Father, Son, and Spirit do.

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

At the end of the tribulation, when the King comes to set up His kingdom, the Antichrist and the false prophet are taken and cast alive into the lake of fire. Les Feldick emphasizes that these are two men—one the political ruler and the other the religious ruler—and that both are 'born of women' and become tools of Satan. They go straight into the lake of fire, not to hell, and without first standing at the Great White Throne.

Are the Antichrist and False Prophet Annihilated After Being Cast Into the Lake of Fire?

Les Feldick states clearly that they are not annihilated. After a thousand years have passed, when Satan is cast into the lake of fire, the beast and the false prophet are still there. The verb in Revelation 20:10 is 'are' — they continue to exist and are tormented day and night for ever and ever.

What Happens to Satan After the Thousand-Year Reign of Christ?

After the thousand-year reign, Satan is loosed for a little season. He goes out to deceive the nations in the four quarters of the earth and gathers them to battle, like a second Armageddon. Fire comes down from God out of heaven and devours the rebels, and then the devil is cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet already are.

Do Satan, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet Appear at the Great White Throne Judgment?

Les Feldick teaches that these three go to the lake of fire without benefit of the Great White Throne judgment. They are already in the lake of fire when that judgment takes place. All other lost individuals will stand before the White Throne and may even attempt to offer a defense, but the Antichrist and the false prophet have no possible rebuttal — they go straight to their doom, and Satan later joins them there.
