Revelation 20:10 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 20:10

And the devil that deceived them
Both before death, in the present life, by tempting and drawing them into immorality and profaneness, or idolatry, superstition, and will worship, or persecution of the saints; and after their resurrection, by instigating them to make this foolish attempt upon the saints of the most High:

was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone;
the same with the everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels; this will be his full torment, in which he is not as yet; and this will not be until the judgment is finished hereafter described; though it is here mentioned to issue the account of Satan at once, and to show what will be his final state and condition:

where the beast and false prophet are;
( Revelation 19:20 ) who for so many years have been companions in wickedness together; the beast being the first beast that received his power, seat, and authority from the dragon, or devil; the false prophet being the second beast, or antichrist in his ecclesiastical capacity, as the beast is antichrist in his civil power, whose coming is after the working of Satan, with signs and lying wonders:

and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever;
that is, not only the devil, but the beast and false prophet, for the word is in the plural number: and this will be the case of all wicked men, of all whose minds are enmity to God and Christ, and to his people; and is a proof of the eternity of hell torments.

Revelation 20:10 In-Context

8 and will come forth to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the eretz, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

9 They went up over the breadth of the eretz, and surrounded the camp of the holy ones, and the beloved city. Fire came down out of heaven, and devoured them.

10 The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where are also the beast and the false prophet. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

11 I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the eretz and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.

12 I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. Books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
