And yet salvation is by grace through faith, not of works, lest anyone should boast. The self-righteous Pharisees missed this. Rom 14:23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin. Heb 3:12 Beware, brethren, lest there...

Plus workers of iniquity fail to be chosen according to the foreknowledge of God and never receive the gift of eternal life, trusting instead in their own works. Mat 7:21-23 Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father...

Rattling a cage . . . 1Th 5:23-24 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your entire spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (24) The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it.

Yes. The Beast and the false prophet are cast into the Lake of Fire whilst Satan the Dragon is bound and cast into the Abyss for 1000 years before losing in battle against the Lord and being cast into the Lake of Fire where the Beast and false prophet are. Three separate but complicit entities.

Meanwhile, some points about the beast from the sea of sinful humanity to ponder:

The Bing Chatbot is actually very good with all things Christian and Biblical. It collects as many sources as it deems necessary to give its impartial summary of the collective ideologies online. It is not at all biased, even referring to "our Lord".

It is possible that modern New Testament scholars are right about the apostle Paul having written 1 Thessalonians between 49 and 51 AD during his 18-month stay in Corinth whilst on his second missionary journey. I have not so fond memories of Sunday School lessons that focused on the journeys...
