 Chapter
19: The Marriage of the Lamb: Assembling for the Feast:
In the beginning of Chapter 19, the marriage of the
Lamb (Jesus) was announced and the bride was given
the white linen (the righteous acts of the saints)
to wear. There is a rider (Jesus) on a white
horse who is called the Faithful and True...the Word
of God...who is prepared to defeat and rule the nations, and
to squeeze out the wine press of God. Jesus was
followed by the armies of heaven, clothed in white
linen, also riding white horses.
As we continue to the end of the chapter, we see the
beast assembled with the kings of the earth to make
war against Him who sits on the white horse:
 And
I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried out
with a loud voice, saying to all the birds which fly
in midheaven, "Come, assemble for the great supper
of God; 18in order that you may eat the
flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders and the
flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of
those who sit on them and the flesh of all men, both
free men and slaves, and small and great." 19And
I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their
armies, assembled to make war against Him who sat
upon the horse, and against His army. 20And
the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet
who performed the signs in his presence, by which he
deceived those who had received the mark of the
beast and those who worshiped his image; these two
were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns
with brimstone. 21And the rest were
killed with the sword which came from the mouth of
Him who sat upon the horse, and all the birds were
filled with their flesh. Revelation 19:17-21 (NAS)
Question:
In Revelation 19:17-21, John saw the beast, and the kings
of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him that
sat upon the horse, and against His army. According to Revelation 19:20, what happened to the beast
and the false prophet as they gathered to make war?

Then I saw an angel standing in the sun. The angel said with a loud voice to
all the birds flying in the sky, "Come together for the great supper of God.
18Come together so that you can eat the bodies of rulers and army commanders
and famous men. Come to eat the bodies of the horses and their riders and the
bodies of all people--free, slave, small, and great."
19Then I saw the animal and the rulers of the earth. Their armies were gathered
together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army.
20But the animal was captured. Also the false prophet was captured. This false
prophet was the one who did the miracles for the animal. The false prophet had
used these miracles to trick the people who had the mark of the animal and
worshiped his idol. The false prophet and the animal were thrown alive into the
lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
21Their armies were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the
rider on the horse. All the birds ate these bodies until the birds were full.
And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice,
saying to all the birds that fly in mid heaven, Come (and) be gathered together
unto the great supper of God;
18that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh
of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of them that sit thereon, and the
flesh of all men, both free and bond, and small and great.
19And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered
together to make war against him that sat upon the horse, and against his army.
20And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the
signs in his sight, wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the
beast and them that worshipped his image: they two were cast alive into the lake
of fire that burneth with brimstone:
21and the rest were killed with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, (even
the sword) which came forth out of his mouth: and all the birds were filled with
their flesh.
(ASV) 
And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice,
saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather
yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh
of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the
flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19And I saw the 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.
20And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles
before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast,
and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of
fire burning with brimstone.
21And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse,
which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their
flesh.
