Revelation 13:10

“He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity, etc.] As the devil, by whom men are led captive at his will, and the Romish antichrist, who leads multitudes of souls to hell; these shall be taken and cast into the lake which burns with fire and brimstone.

“13:10 God’s holy people are summoned to endure and remain faithful while experiencing temporary persecution.”
