If God sent Satan to hell, how is it that he is here?

Question

to influence the people on earth? Does that
mean that no one is ruling hell right now?

Answer 1

God did not send Satan to Hell. This is a common misconception, but is not taught in the Bible. Satan is referred to in Ephesians 2:2 as the "Prince (or Authority) of the Power of the Air (Greek aer = lower atmosphere contiguous with the earth's surface)
The Bible speaks of at least 3 "heavens", the highest being the Heaven of God, the lowest apparently being a reference to this lower atmosphere contiguous with the earth's surface. This is where Satan resides - but not for long. The Bible foretells a day when: "There was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. And the dragon and his angels waged war, and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old, who is called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him." (Revelation 12:7-9)
After being cast down to the earth, Satan raises up his earthly representative, the Antichrist, who reigns for a short time and is defeated when Christ returns to earth at the Battle of Armageddon. Antichrist and his cohort, the False Prophet are judged immediately and thrown into the Lake of Fire, but Satan is confined for 1000 years and released to lead a final assault against the people of God and against Messiah (Christ). He is defeated and cast into the Lake of Fire, his final destination, "and they will be tormented day and night, forever and ever." (Revelation 20:10)

Answer 2

God did not throw or send Satan to hell, because first of all hell is just the common grave of mankind it is where they get burried when they die, But by means of his Son Jesus Christ God Threw Satan out of heaven that was why the Bible says that war broke out in heavenand the Devil was thrown out of heaven hurled down to the earth,not to hell(Revelation12:7-9)But shortly Satan will be thrown into the abyss with his angels (Revelation20:1-3)for a while before being totally destroyed!

Answer 3

Satan is not yet in Hell. He is here roaming the earth. Read Job 1 and Luke 3.

Answer 6

God didn't send Satan to hell. Hell isn't a kingdom ruled by Satan. Satan is a fallen son of God who is kept from the presence of God. "Hell" is a state in the afterlife for those who are kept from the presence of God.

Answer 7

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.

The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.

Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.

Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.

Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

Answer 8

Satan was cast down to earth. Hell will come on Judgment Day.

Answer 9

Satan is not in his final abode at this time. Scripture states that he is temporarily the prince of the air and has many demons to carry out his program on earth. Satan does not have the ability to be everywhere (i.e., omnipresent) so his demons (fallen angels) carry out his command. His main purpose is to kill and destroy your spiritual soul simply because God loves you and wants to restore fellowship with us again. Satan's influence causes individuals to walk according to the philosophy of this world, in political govenments, and the world system.

Answer 10

It is symbolic! The heaven and hell are what we create. The devil originated with another God and was re-invented. Look at your religious history. I am not saying there is no evil in the world. What I am saying is, its all happening right here. The devil is an excuse for people to behave badly.
