And these are "redeemed from among men" (14:4), or are translated from among the living at the second coming of Christ.

1 Cor.

15:51,52; 1 Thess.
4:16,17.

This again shows conclusively that it is the last generation which witnesses the work of this power.
The third passage is Rev.19:20, which speaks of the two-horned beast under the title of the false prophet, and mentions a point not given in Rev.13, namely, the doom he is to meet.

In the battle of the great day, which takes place in connection with the second coming of Christ, verses 11-19, the false prophet, or two-horned beast, is cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone; and the word "alive" signifies that this power will be at that time a living power performing its part in all its strength and vigor.
