And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. http://bible.cc/revelation/19-20.htmWhat will God do to the beast and the false prophet?
From Orthodox Study Bible:
Rev. 19:20, 21
';Worldly authority and worldly religion are overthrown. The first 'beast' (false deity) and the second beast ('false prophet') of 13:11-15 are captured and 'cast alive into the lake of fire,' hell. Hell is symbolized by Gehenna, the noxious, smoldering garbage dump just outside Jerusalem in the Valley of Hinnom. In the past, pagan rituals, including child sacrifice, had occurred in this valley. It came to be associated with the abode of the wicked dead, either awaiting final judgment or actually experiencing eternal torment (see Gen. 19:24; Matt. 18:9). 'Brimstone,' a yellow sulfurous substance that burns easily, exuding a foul odor, is found in the Dead Sea region. While the beast and the false prophet were judged immediately, 'the rest were killed' (v. 21) in order to arise later for final judgment.';What will God do to the beast and the false prophet?
Like your verse said, they will be cast into the lake of fire to be tormented forever.
The idea that those who believed in what he represented will burn forever is a bit too much.
They are human and will be destroyed instantly. The wages of sin is death, not eternal torment.
Allegory...';pst: the beast (law) thou sawest ';was, and is not';
if done away, abolished, taken away, put off, etc.
pst: removal of law is called the ';operation of God';
the ';allegory'; is this: law will burn you';
You are so far off of the right path its dangerous!
2Th 2:8 ';And then shall that lawless one be revealed, whom the Master shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:';
2Th 2:9 '; Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,';
The Lawless one is Satan, not the law or Torah! The Beast is just the opposite of what you claim. It is the absence of the law that will destroy you!
The law is life!
Pro 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
pst: the beast (law) thou sawest ';was, and is not';
if done away, abolished, taken away, put off, etc.
pst: removal of law is called the ';operation of God';
the ';allegory'; is this: law will burn you
According to Islam Jesus/Isa (as) will come near the end of days. Destroy the Dejjal/Anti-Christ/False Prophet/False God and his armies. Then destroy the beast. Then destroy the armies of Gog and Magog. Then rule the world (and the believers), and get married and have children. Soon thereafter the world will end.
I pesonally don't fancy barbecued meat that has a strong sulphurous tang to it. This is probably the reason for the reference to the supermarkets' ';false profit';.
Anything that is cast into the lake had no substance to begin with, so they are no more, even as they appear to be, such as the beast and his goods, namely sin, sickness, and death.
they will get their just reward like every one else
He got a saint to beat the crap out of the beast first(its in there)
