The Anti-Christ Part II

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.
