Revelation 19:20 (ESV)
20And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
The second beast (the false prophet) laboured side-by-side with the first beast. Together they sought to assist the dragon in its efforts to destroy the offspring of the woman (Revelation 12:17).
20 And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
