Revelation 19:19-21 “And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. (20) Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. (21) And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.”
At the end of the reign of the Anti-Christ the church will be caught away from the earth, and the wrath of God will be poured out on the earth. God’s wrath will be poured out on the earth for a period of just under three years. At the end of that time, our Lord Jesus will return to the earth with His saints to reign on the earth. As revealed in the above passage of scripture, it is at our Lord’s return that the battle of Armageddon will take place, and it is at that time that the Anti-Christ and the false prophet will be cast alive into the lake of fire and brimstone. In fact they will be the first two individuals to be cast into that lake, even before Satan. But notice also that they will be cast into the lake, “alive”. The reason for that, as we have already seen, is because they are part angel and therefore immortal.
