The Anti-Christ and False Prophet will be the First tossed into the Lake of Fire

The antiChrist “the beast” and the false prophet are both men born of women and raised up like any other human. But they will become emissaries of Satan; one the political leader and the other religious leader. They will come on the scene after the body of Christ is raptured.

Here are two verses that identify these personalities as men of flesh and bone. First, let’s look at Revelation 19:20.

 

‘Then the beast (the anti-Christ) was captured, and with him (the ‘him’ is a pronoun referring to a man the ‘anti-Christ’) the false prophet (another man) who worked signs in his presence, by which he (‘he’ another pronoun that identifies the false prophet as a man) deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two ( men) were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. ‘

Revelation 19:20

 

At the Lord’s second coming, at the end of the 7 years of tribulation, these two men will be captured. They will be the first tossed into the lake of fire without the benefit of the Great White Throne judgment.

 

For another passage move ahead one chapter to Revelation 20 verse 10. This is at the end of the 1000-year reign of Christ on earth and we are ready to go into eternity. And we see the Great White Throne Judgment but before that Satan will be tossed in the lake of fire and look who will already be there; the anti-Christ and the false prophet.

 

‘The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast (the anti-Christ a man) and the false prophet (a man) are (take note that the anti-Christ and the false prophet have been in lake of fire for 1000 years) And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.’

Revelation 20:10

 

Conclusion

The anti-Christ, the false prophet, both men and Satan (the fallen angel Lucifer) are the three personalities that make up the unholy trinity. The anti-Christ and the false prophet go to their eternal doom first then Satan himself will be tossed into the lake of fire. This unholy trinity will go straight to their eternal doom with no time before the Lord at the Great White Throne judgment. They will be joined by all the lost of the ages who will at least have their moment of time before the Lord at the Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20:11-15).

What Saith the Scripture?

Most problems in interpreting Bible passages arise from neglecting a passage’s context. The guiding principle of sound interpretation is to take a passage literally. Not maintaining this discipline, interpreting Scripture becomes made up, man’s idea, fantasy, and the passage can mean almost anything. The result is erroneous and ridiculous interpretations.

Another important principle to sound Bible interpretation is to read Scripture “in-time”. In other words, we have to read and study the Bible as a progressive revelation. Not getting ahead of God’s revelation.

God’s plan of redemption for mankind wasn’t revealed all at once to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Isaiah, or any of the other old testament prophets. Not even Peter and the eleven were given the full counsel of God. The Lord revealed to each of the aforementioned what they needed at their particular time in Biblical history. A hermeneutical method that does not approach Scripture as a progressive revelation leads to erroneous interpretations.

To be a good bible student one must maintain a literal, grammatical and historical (in-time) hermeneutic. There has been much too much of man’s theology governing Scripture when it is God’s Word alone that reigns over theology.

The Good News

salvation

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. You don’t have to do anything but believe by faith that God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead 3 days later.

THE GOOD NEWS

SALVATION

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. SALVATION IS BY FAITH ALONE & FAITH IS BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS.

  1. God declares all mankind sinners and we all fall short of Glory of God. Romans 3:23
  2. The payment for our sin is death. Romans 6:23
  3. But God…because he loved you so much sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to die in your place, for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead three days later. 1 Cor 15:1-42cor 5:21

All God asks is that you believe by faith alone in 1, 2, & 3. That you’re a sinner, separated from God but God sent his Son to die for your sins, was buried & rose again 3 days later.

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 10:9
