A. Definition.
The lake of fire is the final destination for both fallen angels and unbelieving mankind. It is both literal and eternal. It was prepared originally for Satan and his angels. Matt 25:41. Unbelievers also go there, and there is no way out, Jn 3:18, 36; Heb 9:27.
B. The first occupants of the lake of fire will be the beast and false prophet of the Tribulation, Rev 19:20.
C. The devil will also be in the lake of fire, Rev 20:10.
D. And after the Great White Throne judgment, the unbelievers of the human race will be there, Rev 20:14. Unbelievers are pulled out of the fire of Hades, judged, and cast into the lake of fire. Rev 20:15, 21:8.
