Satan thrown into the lake of fire:

Revelation 20:7-10 – “When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison, and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore.  [KJV reads: “the number of whom is as the sand of the sea” – another reference to the sea as representing the nations, peoples, tribes, languages and the sand meaning innumerable.]  And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them.  And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.”

Remember Armageddon: “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.” – Revelation 19:20

“ ‘He will crush your head, and you will strike His heel.’ ” – Genesis 3:15
