Revelation 20:10

Post by DASchoch »

This text says that the beast and false prophet "are" in the lake of fire 1,000 years later when satan is cast into it, but I cannot see the subtle grammar that gives us the "are." Where in the text does it tell us that these two fiends "are" still there?

Thank you.

It would be helpful if you gave us the Greek text. However, even without the Greek, the fact that the text tells us "where they will be tormented to the ages of ages" tells us that they are still there. (If one can use our temporal terms for what is seen in an apocalyptic vision :roll: )
There is no "they are" in the Greek text here, but Greek often omits forms of the verb "to be" and reads like newspaper headlines.
