Revelation 19
"These BOTH (two) were cast alive in the lake of fire"
Please review the WORD of GOD
Concentrate on the last paragraph about the bodies and the birds
Then proceed to revelation 20
Rev 19:19 Then I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army.
20 And the beast [verse 19 the kings of the earth] 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.
Now all this is spoken of the same people, in the same circumstances of willful rebellion and obstinate unbelief; and the great God of heaven and earth is he who judicially blinds their eyes; makes their hearts fat, i.e. stupid; gives them the spirit of slumber: and bows down their back, etc. On these very grounds it is exceedingly likely that the apostle means the true God by the words the god of this world. And as to the expression this world, αιωνος τουτου, we are not to imagine that it necessarily means wicked men, or a wicked age; for it is frequently used to express the whole mundane system, and all that is called time.
They have resisted the grace which God gave them, and have refused to yield to the evidences which amply prove the Messiah ship of Jesus; and therefore their eyes were judicially darkened, as it is said in the prophet: He hath closed their eyes, and hath given them the spirit of slumber. That is, they have shut their eyes against the light, and their blindness and stupor are the consequence.
But what if God, willing to show His wrath, and to make His power known, endured with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted for destruction, and that He might manifest the riches of His grace towards the vessels of mercy, which He hath before prepared unto glory etc. Here it evidently cannot be said that it is one God who shows his wrath, and makes known his power in the vessels of wrath fitted for destruction, and another God who shows his riches in the vessels of mercy. According to the apostle's doctrine, it is one and the same God who does both. For in all these words quoted from the apostle no other God is understood than He whose Son, sent by Him, came saying, " For judgment am I come into this world, that they which see not might see, and that they which see might be made blind," Regarding this it is well said of God, "Thy judgments are a great deep."' The apostle, in admiration of the unfathomable depth of this abyss, exclaims : "0 the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out ! You cannot distinguish between what God does in mercy and what He does in judgment, because you can neither understand nor use the words of our Psalter " I will sing of mercy and judgment unto Thee, 0 Lord." Accordingly, whatever in the feebleness of your frail humanity seems amiss to you, you separate entirely from the will and judgment of God for you are provided with another evil god, not by a discovery of truth, but by an invention of folly. So you think snakes are made by en evil being; while you consider the sun so great a good, that you believe it to be not the creature of God, but an emission from His substance. You must know that the this God, in whom, alas, you have not yet come to believe, made both the snake along with the lower creatures, and the sun along with other exalted creatures.

Perhaps you could read the following?because the system of human(666) spirituality/religiosity is the one that has shut off the Kingdom of Heaven from humankind and has invited so many people to become religious worshipers and spiritual servants of the "beast", while the true God and His (true) Saints have never acted so
likewise i am not going to judge augustine, but how can there be only one God being both good and evil?!, for example, if i am your father and you are my little child, and i pay someone to took you to and leave you alone in the middle of a very vast jungle ( so there is just no way that there be only one God being both good and evil as in this example, but it is expressly written that there is no "darkness" in the true God at all:Matthew 7:17-19 "every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.",
1 John 1:5 "This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all."
1 John 5:19-21 "We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. Little children, guard yourselves from idols." so if the idols(the false gods) are at the root of the problem(s), then what is that "world" which lies in the power of the wicked god?!, it must, first of all, be a religious world...Blessings

2 Peter 3:14-16 [/u][/I]to their own destruction."[/u][/I], 2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
"And the father thereof (kai ho patēr autou). utou in the genitive can be either neuter or masculine. Westcott takes it thus, “because he is a liar and his father is a liar,” making “one,” not the devil, the subject of “whenever he speaks,” [RWP]

Mt 7: 13 And here is the definition from A Greek-English Lexicon by William Arndt and F Wilbur Gingrich Ex 12:29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. Gen 13:10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. Gen 19:13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it. 2Sa 24:16 And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.

The Hebrews were accustomed by a figure to speak οf any superhuman agency as that οf an angel (see Bush, Note οn Exοd. iii, 2); and whenever this had a providential aspect it was attributed to a diνine messenger (2 Kings xix, 35; 2 Sam. xxiν, 15, 16; Ps. lxxνiii, 49; Acts xii, 23). Ενen Satan's malignity is represented as thus employed (Job iί, 6, 7).
