I’ve always wondered if the A/C and False Prophet are Nephilim.
Here’s why I think that:
Revelation 20:11-15
11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
Revelation 19:20
Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Why is the A/C and his false prophet thrown into the Lake of Fire first?
Without a “trial” at the Great White Throne Judgement?
Could it be that they are disqualified from a trial because they aren’t fully human?
They are the only ones in the Lake of Fire for 1,000 years until Hades is emptied of it’s billions of occupants after The Great White Throne Judgement.
I wonder why this is?
Very possible they are Nephilim..Something that has had me puzzled for years is Demons will start appearing to people as flesh and blood beings and matter of fact they will have the power to take human life in the last 42 months. I rather suspect Science will have managed to open the door to another dimension allowing them in...
“I wonder why this is?”
Being Nephilim... ie descended from non-humans, only half human, might explain why one’s name is not written in “the Book of Life”.
It would also explain why there seems to be a massive chasm divide between us Christians.... and the evil left now destroying our world. Most of us cannot even conceive of such evil.
It’s a rather simplistic explanation. Too simplistic even for religious leaders to admit to or acknowledge. It might also explain the left’s obsession ‘with DNA’ altering methods (gene therapy).
The Bible only hints at this. I think it would have been nice if those that contributed to the Bible had warned us and spelled it out clearly. Why keep it a secret and a mystery? Why keep us guessing? What was the purpose behind that?
“Here is wisdom: Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six.”
The purifying fire is the judgement. Those who hold onto darkness cannot exist in the fire as it burns off their impurities.
The Holy Spirit is here and getting stronger. It is the mildest form of the purifying fire. Preparing the way for Heaven on earth.

I think the Bible is telling us in Revelation 13, rather plainly, that they exercise all the power of Satan and his authority.
So egregious, He doesn’t even wait until the Great White Throne Judgement.
They lead the charge against the Tribulation Saints and the Beast and his armies went up against Jesus Christ at Armageddon.
No trial; immediately cast into the Lake of Fire.
