Revelation 20:10

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. THAT DECEIVED - `that deceiveth,' etc. LAKE OF FIRE - his final doom: as "the bottomless pit" () was his temporary prison. WHERE. So 'Aleph ('), Coptic; but A B, Vulgate, Syriac, 'where also.' THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET ARE - (.) DAY AND NIGHT - without intermission (), such as now night interposes between day and day. The same phrase is used of the eternal state of the blessed ...

7-10 While this world lasts, Satan's power in it will not be wholly destroyed, though it may be limited and lessened. No sooner is Satan let loose, than he again begins deceiving the nations, and stirring them up to make war with the saints and servants of God. It would be well if the servants and ministers of Christ were as active and persevering in doing good, as his enemies in doing mischief. God will fight this last and decisive battle for his people, that the victory may be complete, and the glory be to himself....

AND THE DEVIL THAT DECEIVED THEM - See the notes on Revelation 20:3, Revelation 20:8. WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE AND BRIMSTONE - In Revelation 19:20, it is said of the beast and the false prophet that they were “cast alive into a lake of fire, burning with brimstone.” Satan, on the other hand, instead of being doomed at once to that final ruin, was confined for a season in a dark abyss, Revelation 20:1. As the final punishment, however, he is appropriately represented as consigned to the same doom as the beast and the false prophet, that

EXPOSITION REVELATION 20:1 AND I SAW AN ANGEL COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN; _coming down out of heaven. _The usual mode of introducing a new vision (cf. Revelation 4:1, etc.).

AND THE DEVIL THAT DECEIVED THEM,.... Both before death, in the present life, by tempting and drawing them into immorality and profaneness, or idolatry, superstition, and will worship, or persecution of the saints; and after their resurrection, by instigating them to make this foolish attempt upon the saints of the most High: WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE AND BRIMSTONE; the same with the everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels; this will be his full torment, in which he is not as yet; and this will not be until the judgment is finished hereafter described; though it is here mentioned to issue the account of Satan at once, and to show what will be his final state and condition: WHERE THE BEAST AND FALSE PROPHET ARE; Revelation 19:20 who for so many years have been companions in wickedness together; the beast being the first beas

THE THOUSAND YEAR REIGN OF CHRIST AND THE SAINTS (Revelation 20:1-15) Since the great importance of this chapter is that it is what might be called the foundation document of Millennarianism or Chiliasm, it will be better to read it as a whole before we deal with it in detail. 1 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss, and with a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold of the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a 3 thousand years, and cast him into the abyss, and locked him in, and set a seal over him, that he might no longer deceive the nations, until the thousand years were completed. After that he must be set free for a little time. 4 And I saw thrones, and those who had received the privilege of judgment sat upon them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their witness
