He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him (Rev 12:8-9). And the great dragon was hurled down-the ancient serpent called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. But the dragon was not strong enough, and no longer was any place found in heaven for him and his angels.Yet other texts speak of the fallen angels (demons) as being cast down to the earth:

And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended.

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain.

And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling-these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day (Jude 1:6).

God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment (2 Peter 2:4).

Some texts in Scripture do speak of Satan and the fallen angels as being cast into Hell: If the condemned are consigned to Hell for all eternity, why is Satan allowed to wander about outside of Hell? Isn’t he supposed to be suffering in Hell along with his minions and the other condemned? Further, it doesn’t seem that he is suffering one bit, but rather having a grand time wreaking havoc on the earth.

One of the more puzzling aspects of demonology is the freedom that Satan and demons appear to have in roaming the earth, causing trouble.
