"And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever." — Revelation 20:10 (ASV)
And the devil that deceived them . . .—Better, And the devil that deceives them, or was deceiving them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the wild beasts and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented by day and by night to the ages of ages. The devil cast from heaven (Revelation 12:9), bound in the abyss (Revelation 20:3), is now flung into the flaming lake. There they (i.e., the devil, the wild beast, and the false prophet) are tormented to the ages of ages. (and Note on Revelation 19:20.)
THE JUDGMENT OF THE WORLD.—The three enemies have been overthrown and driven out from the earth which they have sought to destroy (Revelation 11:18). The judgment of human beings must follow.
