Revelation 19:19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. (NASB95)
Revelation 19:19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. (NASB95) The armies of Antichrist will be fighting the Eastern Confederacy in the valley of Jezreel, which is also called “Armageddon.” However, Revelation 19:19 teaches that they will stop pointing their weapons at each other and will point them at Christ.
“The beast” is a reference to the Antichrist who is identified by this designation in Revelation 13:1, 2, 3, 4; 14:9, 11; 11:7; 15:2; 16:2; 17:3; 19:20; and 20:10.
“The kings of the earth” would include the seven remaining kings of the ten nation European Confederacy (See Revelation 17:12-17; Daniel 7:18) as well as the kings of the East (Revelation 16:12-17).
Revelation 19:20 And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone. (NASB95) “The beast” and the “false prophet” are the first human beings that will occupy the Lake of Fire and the rest of unsaved humanity will join them at the Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20:11-15). Notice that they are thrown “alive” into the Lake of Fire indicating a conscious existence in the place. Satan is not sent to the Lake of Fire until after the millennium when he starts one final rebellion, which God puts down (Revelation 20:7-10).
Revelation 19:21 And the rest were killed with the sword which came from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh. (NASB95) This passage teaches that Christ’s victory over Antichrist, the false prophet and the kings of the earth and their armies is a total and complete and absolute one.
Revelation 20:1-3 records that Satan will be captured at the Second Advent of Christ and will be incarcerated for a thousand years.
