Bible Texts:
Revelation
16:12-16 NLT
12
Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great Euphrates
River, and it dried up so that the kings from the east could march
their armies toward the west without hindrance.
13
And I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs leap from the
mouths of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet.
14
They are demonic spirits who work miracles and go out to all the
rulers of the world to gather them for battle against The Lord on
that great judgment day of God The Almighty.
15
“Look, I will come as unexpectedly as a thief! Blessed are all who
are watching for Me, who keep their clothing ready so they will not
have to walk around naked and ashamed.”
16
And the demonic spirits gathered all the rulers and their armies
to a place with the Hebrew name Armageddon*.
*Armageddon-Greek:
The valley known as Megiddo
Megiddo,
called Plain of Esdraelon or Plain of Jezreel, is in the
land of Israel. It is a 200 sq valley or plain. Napoléon
Bonaparte, said it was the perfect place for a battle, and battles
have been fought there.

Revelation
19:11-21 NLT
(The Rider on the White Horse) ( The battle of Armageddon)
11
Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. Its
rider was named Faithful and True, for He judges fairly and wages a
righteous war.
12
His eyes were like flames of fire, and on His head were many crowns.
A name was written on Him that no one understood except Himself.
13
He wore a robe dipped in blood, and His title was The Word Of God.
14
The armies of heaven, dressed in the finest of pure white linen,
followed Him on white horses.
15
From His mouth came a sharp sword to strike down the nations. He will
rule them with an iron rod. He will release the fierce wrath of God,
The Almighty, like juice flowing from a wine press.
16
On His robe at His thigh was written this title: King Of All kings
and Lord Of All lords.
17
Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, shouting to the vultures
flying high in the sky: “Come! Gather together for the great
banquet God has prepared.
18
Come and eat the flesh of kings, generals, and strong warriors; of
horses and their riders; and of all humanity, both free and slave,
small and great.”
19
Then I saw the beast and the kings of the world and their armies
gathered together to fight against The One sitting on the horse and
His army.
20
And the beast (the anti-Christ)
was captured, and with him the false prophet who did mighty miracles
on behalf of the beast—miracles that deceived all who had accepted
the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue. Both the beast
and his false prophet were thrown alive into the fiery lake of
burning sulfur.
21
Their entire army was killed by the sharp sword that came from the
mouth of The One riding the white horse. And the vultures all gorged
themselves on the dead bodies.
During the battle, Christ and His saints return. This is Christs'
second coming, and marks the end of the 7 year Tribulation period.
Zechariah
14:1-4 KJV
1
Behold, the day of The Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in
the midst of thee.
2
For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and
the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women
ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the
residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3
Then shall The Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as
when He fought in the day of battle.
4
And His feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which
is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave
in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there
shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove
toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
The Lord will destroy the anti-Christ, and all the armies gathered at
Armageddon.
Revelation
19:15 KJV
From
His mouth came a sharp sword to strike down the nations. He will rule
them with an iron rod. He will release the fierce wrath of God, The
Almighty, like juice flowing from a wine press.
Isaiah
34:6 NLT
The
sword of The Lord is drenched with blood and covered with fat—
with
the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of rams prepared for
sacrifice. Yes, The Lord will offer a sacrifice in the city of
Bozrah. He will make a mighty slaughter in Edom.
Isaiah
63:1 NLT
Who
is this who comes from Edom, from the city of Bozrah, with His
clothing stained red? Who is this in royal robes, marching in His
great strength?
The beast (the anti-Christ) and the false prophet are cast alive into the
lake of fire, forever.
Revelation
19:20 KJV
And
the beast (the anti-Christ)
was captured, and with him the false prophet who did mighty miracles
on behalf of the beast—miracles that deceived all who had accepted
the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue. Both the beast
and his false prophet were thrown alive into the fiery lake of
burning sulfur.
This (above) action, is at the beginning of the Millennium, the 1,000
years period of God, rule, (Prince Of Peace rule), 1,000 years of
peace on earth. For there to be true peace on earth...
Revelation
20:1,3 KJV
1
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the
bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
3
And cast him (the devil)
into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him,
that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years
should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little
season.
This little season, at the end of the Millennium, is the following. During the Millennium, scores
of people had been born and repopulated the earth. Satan loosed from
his “bottomless pit,” prison, goes out to deceive as many as he
can, and he deceives scores of humanity. They with the devil try to
overcome The Lord and His people, and this is what happens.
Revelation
20:7-10 KJV
7
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of
his prison,
8
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four
quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to
battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9
And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp
of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from
God out of heaven, and devoured them.
10
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and
brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are,
and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
QUESTION:
This is not the topic here, but here is an all important question. Is
hell and the lake of fire eternal, and those who go there, remaining
there forever?
ANSWER:
Yes!
The beast and the false prophet, had been thrown into the lake of
fire, 1,000 years earlier (before the Millennium), and they were
still there, suffering, forever.
