Exegesis
The relative adverb hopou {ὅπου | hó-pou}, followed by kai to therion kai ho pseudoprophetes {καὶ τὸ θηρίον καὶ ὁ ψευδοπροφήτης | kaí tò thē-rí-on kaí ho pseu-do-pro-phḗ-tēs}, introduces a locative relative clause, “where also the beast and the false prophet (are),” with the verb “are” understood. This clause ties the devil’s fate to that of the two figures previously cast into the lake, forming a triad of condemned enemies.
In context — Revelation 20:10
And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where also the beast and the false prophet are, and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever .
