And the devil
The term "devil" comes from the Greek word "diabolos," meaning "slanderer" or "accuser." In the biblical narrative, the devil is the ultimate adversary of God and humanity, embodying evil and opposition to divine purposes. Historically, the devil's role as a deceiver is consistent with his actions throughout Scripture, beginning with the temptation of Eve in Genesis. This verse marks the culmination of his defeat, fulfilling the promise of his ultimate judgment.

who had deceived them
The phrase highlights the devil's primary method of operation: deception. The Greek word "planao" means "to lead astray" or "to cause to wander." This deception is a recurring theme in Revelation, where the devil misleads nations and individuals away from God's truth. The historical context of the early church, facing false teachings and persecution, underscores the importance of discernment and faithfulness to God's Word.

was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur
The "lake of fire" is a symbol of final judgment and eternal separation from God. The imagery of fire and sulfur, reminiscent of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, conveys the severity and permanence of this punishment. In the Greek, "limne tou pyros" emphasizes a place of intense purification and judgment. This serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of rebellion against God.

where the beast and the false prophet are
The "beast" and the "false prophet" represent the forces of political and religious opposition to God, as described earlier in Revelation. Their presence in the lake of fire signifies the complete overthrow of all powers that stand against God's kingdom. Historically, these figures have been interpreted as symbols of oppressive regimes and false ideologies that challenge the truth of the Gospel.

and they will be tormented
The Greek word "basanizo" means "to torture" or "to vex with grievous pains." This phrase indicates the conscious and ongoing nature of the punishment. From a conservative Christian perspective, this underscores the reality of eternal judgment for those who reject God's authority and persist in rebellion.

day and night
This expression emphasizes the unending nature of the torment. In the biblical context, "day and night" signifies continuity and perpetuity. The phrase reassures believers of the finality of God's victory over evil, as there will be no respite or escape for those who oppose Him.

forever and ever
The Greek phrase "eis tous aionas ton aionon" translates to "unto the ages of the ages," underscoring the eternal duration of the judgment. This serves as a powerful reminder of the eternal nature of both God's kingdom and the consequences of rejecting His grace. It calls believers to a life of holiness and perseverance, knowing that God's justice will ultimately prevail.

(10) And the devil that deceived them . . .--Better, And the devil that deceiveth them, or was deceiving them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the wild beasts and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented by day and by night unto the ages of the ages. The devil cast from heaven (Revelation 12:9), bound in the abyss (Revelation 20:3), is now flung into the flaming lake. There they (i.e., the devil, the wild beast, and the false prophet) are tormented unto the ages of ages. (Comp. Revelation 14:10-11; and Note on Revelation 19:20.)

THE JUDGMENT OF THE WORLD.--The three enemies have been overthrown and driven forth from the earth which they have sought to destroy (Revelation 11:18). The judgment of human beings must follow. . . .

Verse 10. - And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever; and they shall be tormented. The last clause shows that this is the final judgment and punishment of the devil. Thus at this verse is completed the whole series of visions commencing at Revelation 12, in which arc set forth the origin and progress of the influence of evil, and the final termination of the conflict between God and his Church on the one hand, and the devil and his adherents on the other. It remains now only to shadow forth the surpassing glory of the saints in their everlasting home, and thus to bring the book to a conclusion. This, therefore, is the theme of the remaining chapters. (On "the devil that deceiveth them," see on ver. 3; and on "the lake of fire and brimstone," see on Revelation 19:20.) Shall be tormented (cf. Matthew 8:29, "Art thou come hither to torment us before the time?").
