"The devil is in the details" means it is difficult to keep things organized when there are lots of small technicalities involved.

The expression works like this: Something might look good and innocent from a distance or at a casual glance, but examine it closely, and you will see that "the devil is in the details." Take, for example, an offer that looks great at first reading, but when you scroll down to the fine print, you realize that it's not a good offer at all--"the devil's in the details."

The devil is in the details means that people can have great, noble plans with lofty ideas, however when you try to make it work in reality it becomes harder and is almost sabotaged from within.
For example, peace in the world would be good for everyone and everyone should want that, but people also want to hold on to hatred of other people groups.

Its a saying that means basically if you don't pay attention to the details then those details that you've neglected will come back to bite you.

The reference is to deceit, distortion, or misleading details. Another way to say it is; "The big print giveth and the small print taketh away."

actually he was an angel that was denounced from heaven for wanting things to be his way they say things in hell never actually burn up so I would say that he is a spirit that can be what ever he wants to be but we all know in the end he will be ugly

It means you missed something when making an agreement and now you're stuck with something you didn't expect.
