Read Revelation 19.17-21. In 19.17-21: Battle against the beast. The scene opens and closes with the gory spectacle of vultures feasting on the corpses after the battle, but no battle is ever portrayed. The false prophet is the same as the beast from the earth (13.11-18). The lake of fire combines the image of Dan 7.11 with Greek idea of hell as a place of torment after death. In verses 20-21: Here only the beasts were cosigned to the fire, the rest we see 20.15. While the image is violent, the nonviolent meaning is emphasized: The wicked are slain by the sword of Jesus (also his testimony; see 12.11, 20.4). Comments of Questions..
