The devil, who seduced them, was cast into the pool of fire and sulfur, where both the beast and the false prophet shall be tortured, day and night, forever and ever. (Rev. 20:9–10)
After the defeat of the Antichrist, Satan, the beast, and the false prophet suffer in the lake of fire. The second prophet was perhaps added to achieve symmetry.
