Satan and the fallen angels are the principalities of the powers in the Air. the rulers of this present darkness.. spiritual wickedness in High places. ( Eph 6:12)
We see that one day satan will be dethroned from his position in the air by Michael and His angels and limited in his activities to only the earth.Rev 12:7
That satan's final punishment will be Hell and where he will be bound
NOT until all the way in Revelation 20:10 do we actually see this
" And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where also the beast and the false prophet were.. and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever"
So where do we get the concept that he will be torturing anyone in hell forever or that he is there now torturing people.
He is in league with demons on the earth and he is in the air taking advantage of and deceiving as many as he could into rejecting God's eternal salvation and to joining him in the lake of fire to be tormented forever and ever.

Satan is not currently in hell. And when he is finally cast into the hell, into the lake of fire and brimstone, he will not be running it, he will receive his judgment there. He will writhe in torment there forever.

That belief is even a deception of satan. To explain this, please read on. There are three worlds that THE LORD GOD created for mankind. The 1st is our present earth-universe continuum-an imperfect world where even man's logic and reasoning are faulty due an imperfect environment; the 2nd is the future earth-universe continuum but will be transformed into gardens of eden on all its trillions of planets and moons; and this future world will be a semi-perfect reality where things will happen such as: the sevenfold sun and the sunny-moon (Isaiah 30:25-26); supplies and food like a flooding stream; men will be transformed into angel-like; the greatest (most beautiful) on earth is the least in the kingdom; all the planets/moons will be gardens of edens, etc and the 3rd is the infinite celestial heaven above our dimension with its countless puregold planets and on them are the gardens of paradise-a perfect world; this will be mankind's final destination, final home and final heavenly country. This celestial heaven will come down to our space approx 15 billion years from now after the everlasting age of the then old universe which will be then melted away; and thus, its lake of fire is the hell where death and hades will be thrown into (Rev 20:14). On one hand, in Rev 20:10 the devil, the false prophet and the beast will be thrown into a lake of burning sulfur forever. Thus, these two lakes of fire and sulfur are the transition stages of the melting away of the old earth-old universe continuum. THANKS GOD; FEAR GOD; PRAISE GOD; GLORIFY GOD; HONOR GOD; LOVE GOD AND WORSHIP GOD.

laziness and lying preachers.
if they would read their bible they would know that satan and his angels are being held in heaven by Michael. the holy spirit is allowed to roam the earth and so are their spirits.
they don't know that when he is kicked out of heaven that he will be telling every one he is Jesus and many will believe.
they don't know that he will have 5 months for his little reindeer games and then the real christ will return with a rod of iron to kick hinney and take names. then the 1000 years will begin until the final judgement where we will finally be rid of the ner-do-wells.
they don't know that when God does open up Hell once someone is sentenced there they will become as the smoke from a cigarette. it will cause a stink and a breif cloud but afterwards those living will not remember that particular puff of smoke and the puff of smoke will cease to exist.

Why do we believe sponge Bob is in Bikini Bottom?
"SATAN HAS DECEIVED YOU"
A. If you still don't believe after my crystal clear explanation of salvation then I'll have to blame a third party for your lack of perception.
B. Thank God the Israelites propogated belief in Satan. What a great catch-all statement for things I can otherwise rebut or defend.

He's not in hell yet just in prison. Read all of Rev 20. We are in the thousand years. All the evil here is by evil men.

Satan is now loosed to roam the earth seeking whom he can kill, steal from or destroy. It's his chained demons in hell and others demons sent to hell that are tormenting the lost souls.

We can blame most of our modern conventions on satan, demons, and hell itself on a little man named Dante, and his work of creative fiction "The Divine Comedy".
Apparently his description of evil was more interesting than the Bible's.
