What Does Revelation 19:20 Mean?
The battle ends almost before it begins. The beast is captured, and with him the false prophet who had worked deceptive signs to lead astray those bearing the beast's mark and worshiping its image. Both are cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. The two great deceivers are seized without a struggle.
The powers that demanded the world's worship and trafficked in deception meet a swift and decisive end. Their counterfeit signs deceived many, but they could not deceive or resist the King. For those who suffered under such powers, this is the promise that deception will not have the last word; truth will. The Lord brings every false claim to judgment, and the believer can stand firm, refusing the lie, confident that Christ will overthrow all that opposes Him.
