Verse 20 is talking about the image and the false prophet. The beast taken is the image brought to life. Notice that the false prophet is identified as coming before him. The false prophet was introduced in chapter 13, before Satan and before the image (the beast). Satan was not cast into the lake of fire. He was bound for 1000 years first. The false prophet and the image brought to life never return. Now how can you get 3 beings out of two beast and one image? None of them are called Satan. But only two are cast into the lake of fire. Does Satan not figure in chapter 13 at all? Who has been given all the authority? Who keeps coming in and out of the land? If a human can only come out of the sea, the false prophet the only beast named has to be the one coming out of the Sea. The other unnamed beast, is the image. It is the unholy attempt by Satan to create his own type of humanity. Satan has questioned God’s own image, the sons of God for the last 6000 years. He only gets one last attempt of this 6000 year period to make a fool of himself.Revelation 19:20 confirms that the another beast, the one coming out of the earth, who did the miracles, is the false prophet.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
