And the beast, and false prophet are human beings. So why wouldn't the REST of all unbelievers who will be CAST into the lake of fire NOT "be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Where in my post did I even mention 7 heads? Are you even trying to have a discussion, or what?
Read Rev 13. Beast #1 is a human a cast alive physically into the LOF. Along with the human false prophet.
I'm curious where you find any mention of a "7 headed human" anywhere in the Bible.
Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and
saw a beast rise up out of the sea,
having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Revelation 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
Revelation 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Revelation 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein
to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Revelation 17:7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman,
and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
Revelation 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Revelation 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom.
The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
Revelation 17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
Revelation 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
Revelation 17:12
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
Revelation 17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
So the beast is either a 'system' that rules over the 7 mountains (continents - deceived the whole world) and it's description is one of a continuing kingdom on down through the years (Nebo Statue) that will have 10 kings that won't even come to power until the one hour of their greatest power, the beasts greatest power when the image to be worshipped is set up for the 42 months which is also the 1260 days the two witnesses are here once Satan and his angels are kicked out of heaven.
or like you say, its a human being.
