Revelation 20:10-11 |
Revelation 20, Page 17 | ||||
Bible, KJV Translation: 20:10 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 for ever and ever. 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. |

Re-evaluation Translation: 20:10 Those leaders who opposed Yehuveh and had deceived the people, along with human selfishness and corrupt religion, were cast into the refuge of conviction and sound judgment, and they will be remorseful continually for ever. 20:11 Yehuveh’s anointed instructors saw a great purified kingdom, firmly settled, from which all un-commitment and ignorance vanished for ever. |

Significant Words and Comments: Commentary on Revelation 20:10 (16 July 2008): “The devil that deceived them,” describes all the leaders and powerful men who have taught humanity to love and depend on the economic system as their protector and provider. Scriptures call this false economic system nothing, not even existing! “Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.” Solomon states “All is vanity;” and Isaiah asks: “Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto Me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.” Devil is discussed in notes by Revelation 2:10; deceived, by Revelation 13:14. Proverbs 23:5; Ecclesiastes 1:2; 12:8; Isaiah 55:2. “Was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone,” clearly states that all the deceivers will be convicted of their lies and forced to recognize and acknowledge sound judgment! Cast is discussed by Revelation 4:10; lake, by Revelation 19:20; fire, by Revelation 8:5; brimstone, by Revelation 9:17. “Where the beast and the false prophet are,” confirms that the economic system’s leaders will join the political and religious leaders who have already been brought to conviction of their lies and vanity. Beast is discussed by Revelation 11:7; 13:1, 11; false prophet, by Revelation 16:3. “And shall be tormented,” distressed, harassed, in grievous pain, tortured. Few things are so painful to the selfish, rebellious mind than to be confronted with truth and righteousness! “The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor. A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him. He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword. He wandereth abroad for bread; . . . he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand. Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him.” Torment is discussed by Revelation 9:5; 11:10. Job 15:20-24. “Day and night” continually, as discussed in notes by Revelation 7:15; “for ever and ever,” without an end, ever, as discussed by Revelation 5:13. Commentary on Revelation 20:11 (16 July 2008): “I saw a great white throne and him that sat on it,” descriptive of the awesome purity and righteousness of Yehuveh’s restored kingdom and of the rule of the Lamb-king under His guidance. White is discussed in notes by Revelation 6:11; throne, by Revelation 4:2. Sat, here, indicates being firmly settled [kathemai, G2521] though it is not from the same word [kathizo, G2523] as sat, settled, in Revelation 20:4. “Earth and the heaven fled away,” non-commitment and ignorance vanished in this pure kingdom. Fled away, from pheugo [G5343], “to flee away, seek safety by flight,” is used only in Revelation 9:6; 12:6; 16:20; 20:11. Face, Revelation 9:7; earth, Revelation 5:13; heaven, Revelation 4:1. “Found no place for them”! Non-commitment and ignorance now vanished forever! Found, see Revelation 18:14; place, see Revelation 6:14. Gael Bataman Originally Written: 16 July 2008 Latest Update: 16 July 2008 Return to Zadok Home Page Continue . . .
