Revelation 20:10 (YLT)

10 and the Devil, who is leading them astray, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where [are] the beast and the false prophet, and they shall be tormented day and night — to the ages of the ages.

And verses 14 & 15 add:

14 and the death and the hades were cast to the lake of the fire — this [is] the second death; 15 and if any one was not found written in the scroll of the life, he was cast to the lake of the fire.

  • What does "to the ages of the ages" mean? Does it mean that the torment is everlasting?
  • Is the torment that is promised for the Devil, the beast and the false prophet (v10) also to be experienced by any one who was not found written in the scroll of the life (v15)?
  • As a whole, do these verses teach eternal conscious torment (ECT) of the wicked?
