Bible Question: A Pastor's wife informed me that Satan is not in Hell and has never been in Hell. I know he spends alot of time here, but does that mean he has never been to Hell? |
Bible Answer: Hi Ginger, Yes, that is essentially true. Satan is not literally in hell- it is not his current place of abode. Peter writes in 1 Pet. 5:8 that, "Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around (Gr.-present tense) like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."(NASB) Also see, Job 1:7 and 2:2. According to Rev. 20:10, satan will be cast (thrown) into the lake of fire and "tormented day and night forever and ever." This will take place prior to the Great White Throne Judgment. I hope this helps, BradK |
