REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Thirty Nine - The Great Evening Meal of God - Continue

 The seven-headed, ten-horned wild beast out of the sea, representing Satan's political organization, is tumbled into oblivion, and along with it goes the false prophet, the seventh world power. (Revelation 13:1, 11-13; 16:13) While still "alive," or still functioning in their united opposition to God's people on earth, they are cast into "the lake of of fire."  Is this a literal lake of fire?  No, no any more than the wild beast and the false prophet are literal animals.  Rather isis a symbol of complete, final destruction, a place of no return.  Here is where, later, death and Hades, as well as the Devil himself, will be  hurled. (Revelation 20:10, 14) It is certainly not and inferno of eternal torture for the wicked, since the very idea of such a place is destestable to Jehovah. - JEREMIAH 19:5; 32:35; 1 JOHN 4:8, 16.
