Satan will be IN hell but He certainly won't be running the show.. Where are sinners (who have died) now?
All who have died, both good and evil, are in their graves awaiting the resurrection.
"The hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation." John 5:28, 29. "The wicked is reserved to the day of destruction." "Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb." Job 21:30, 32.
Answer: The Bible is specific. Both the wicked and the righteous who have died are in their graves "sleeping" until the resurrection day. How long will the wicked suffer in the fire?
"And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be." Revelation 22:12. "And then he shall reward every man according to his works." Matthew 16:27. "That servant, which knew his lord's will, and ... neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes." Luke 12:47, 48.
Jesus will insist upon just treatment for the wicked. Their degree of punishment will be fair and according to their works, as He promised.
Answer: The Bible does not tell how long the wicked will be punished before receiving death in the fire. God does specifically state, however, that all will be punished according to their deeds. This means some will receive greater punishment than others, based upon their works.
Will the fire eventually go out?
"Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it." Isaiah 47:14. "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth." "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." Revelation 21:1, 4.
God will recreate a new world where no trace of the former evils of this world will be seen.
Answer: Yes, indeed, the Bible specifically teaches that hellfire will go out and that there will not be left "a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it." The Bible also teaches that in God's new kingdom all "former things" will be passed away. Hell, being one of the former things, is included, so we have God's promise that it will be abolished.
Is God a Torturer?
If God tortured His enemies in a fiery horror chamber throughout eternity, He would be more vicious and heartless than men have ever been in the worst of war atrocities. An eternal hell of torment would be hell for God also, who loves even the vilest sinner.
What will be left when the fire goes out?
The fires will burn until only ashes are left. Even the bones will be completely gone.
"For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch." "And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts." Malachi 4:1, 3.
Answer: Notice the verse does not say the wicked will burn like asbestos, as many today believe, but rather like stubble, which will be burned up. The little word "up" denotes completion. Nothing but ashes will be left when the fire goes out. In Psalms 37:10, 20, the Bible says the wicked will go up in smoke and be completely destroyed.
Will the wicked enter hell in bodily form and be destroyed both soul and body?
The fire from heaven will fall upon the wicked and destroy them, both body and soul.
"It is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell." Matthew 5:30. "Rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Matthew 10:28. "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." Ezekiel 18:20.
Answer: Yes. Real, live people enter hell in bodily form and are destroyed both soul and body. The fire from God out of heaven will fall upon real people and blot them out of existence.
Will the devil be in charge of hellfire?
The devil will be completely destroyed by fire.
"And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 20:10. "I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. ... And never shall thou be any more." Ezekiel 28:18, 19.
Answer: Absolutely not! The devil will be cast into the fire, and it will turn him into ashes.

REVELATIONS FINAL CLEANSING OF THE EARTH
Eze.28:13-15; Satan is a cherub angel and Luke 20:34-36 angels do not die.
20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
THE BEAST AND FALSE PROPHET IN LAKE OF FIRE THE WHOLE 1000 YEARS
Rev.19:20

He will not be destroyed, he will be defeated. Hell is a place of torment. Satan doesn't want to be there. He is punished there also, it isn't his "crib." Satan, right now, is roaming the earth like a hungry lion looking to devour anything it can, as the Bible puts it.

Once all that must come to pass as written in Revelation has happened, Jesus shall come again and in the end Satan will be thrown in the Lake of Fire for all of eternity.

Christians have faith that they are greater suitable to the suitable angel that god made. they say issues like "devil is attempting to fool you, yet don't get fooled". as though! you are able to not outwit the guy. look at his balls in tricky god interior the 1st place! that is a fellow you gotta appreciate. examining the bible, and understanding that devil continues to be around, tells us in basic terms one factor. God isn't as good as you christians think of he's. devil is conscious he will win. yet another clarification is that devil and God are good acquaintances. You adult males are being duped into thinking that there is a conflict. God and devil are enjoying chess with you fellows as pawns.
