· Translation: KJV

Revelation 20:10The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are also. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

The setting

The final moment. Satan, who has deceived humanity since Eden, meets his eternal fate...

The emotion here: profound relief watching the deceiver finally defeated

The original word

basanizō (βασανισθήσονται) — to torture, torment, test by examination

Why it matters

This is the only being scripture says will be tormented forever — not all the wicked

Read with care

What most readers miss in Revelation 20:10

Satan joins the beast and false prophet who were thrown in 1000 years earlier

Common misconceptionMany assume all unbelievers face the same fate as Satan, but scripture distinguishes between the devil's eternal torment and the second death of humans.
