18 “eat the flesh of kings…”
19 “beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him that sat on the horse, and against His army.”
A great battle to deliver the Jewish remnant from the world powers under the beast (Antichrist) and the False Prophet (Rev. 16.13-16; Zech 12.1-14)
20 Doom of the beast (Antichrist) and false prophet. Cast into the lake of fire where they will stay until the1000 year kingdom is over, then they will be joined by the devil (Rev. 20.10) “for ever and ever”.

To him Satan gives the power which he offered to Christ (Matthew 4.8, 9; Rev. 13.4).
21 Doom of the kings, slain by the sword of truth.
