The second reason is to let the infidels see the helplessness of the things they had accepted as deities. In this verse, the second purpose is mentioned, ie. if these objects were gods why did they come into Hell? 

155. This means the deities as well as their worshippers. The worshippers to receive punishment and the false gods like the sun, etc to administer the punishment
