Then
I saw the beast and the rulers and leaders of the earth with their
troops mustered to go into battle and make war against Him Who is
mounted on the horse and against His troops. And the beast was seized and
overpowered, and with him the false prophet who in his presence had worked
wonders and performed miracles by which he led astray those who had
accepted or permitted to be placed upon them the stamp (mark) of the
beast and those who paid homage and gave divine honors to his statue. Both
of them were hurled alive into the fiery lake that burns and blazes
with brimstone. Revelation 19:20
These
events that we are shown are happening at the Battle of Armageddon. Jesus
returns to the earth and He removes the anti-christ and the false prophet from
power. When Jesus does this to the anti-christ, I want you to notice that the
he is thrown directly into the Lake of Fire. The anti-christ is not thrown into
Hades to wait for judgment, he is thrown directly into Hell.
And the sea delivered
up the dead who were in it, death and Hades (the state of death or disembodied existence) surrendered
the dead in them, and all were tried and their cases determined by
what they had done [according to their motives, aims, and works]. Revelation
20:13
If
the anti-christ were human he would have been thrown into Hades to await
his judgment, but he isn’t, he is thrown directly into the Lake of Fire or Hell.
The Truth is that all men must be judged, but this being, or demon, isn’t. We
were told that he is from the Abyss, the realm of demons and here we see that he
never comes up for judgment.
