Bible Question:
is it possible that the beast and the false prophet are kept alive in a devouring fire in the lake of fire, by the power that satan had given them. and they wont be destroyed until satan is thrown into the lake of fire which is the same type of fire that comes down from heaven. then with satan destroyed no more power so the beast and the false prophet are destroyed. |
Bible Answer: You used a interesting term "is it possible that the beast and the false prophet are kept alive in a devouring fire in the lake of fire" No where in scripture is the Lake of Fire described as a devouring fire. In fact just the opposite, punishment like life in Christ is always described as eternal. Also Satan does not possess the power of life and death Christ does. So no it is not possible Satan kept the beast and false prophet alive. |
