Tell me, why on Earth, would any devil waste its time in hell,
When their time would be best used on Earth, tricking folks into hell?!
Yet because of traditions, and wrong translations of one verse,
Into spreading this errant notion, some folks have been coerced.
The verse to which I refer that was errantly translated,
Is 2 Peter 2:4, re. what some devils instigated.
Sometime before the global flood, they really angered Yahweh!
They became men, married women, corrupting our DNA!!! 1
In response, The Lord decided to send a global flood,
Then, to repopulate the Earth, from Noah’s family’s blood,
And select animas that, in the ark had been detained.
But what of those devils who had ‘left their proper domain’?! 2
Jude says they were chained in darkness, pending their judgment.
But Peter says in Tartarus, they await their judgment.
‘Into hell they were cast’, some Bible translations wrongly stress!
In such cases, the literal translation is ALWAYS BEST! 3
Moreover, there are no Bible indications that explain,
Those devils who became men, ‘returned to their proper domain’.
Thus, as human men, they may still be …physically defined.
Guess what: For human physicality, hell was not designed!
The Lord designed hell as a temporary place of torment,
For sinners’ spirit and soul twins, pending eternal judgment.
Into His lake of fire, with devils, death and hell, they’ll be cast.
In body, soul and spirit form, these two groups forever classed 4
The Bible reveals, to whomever we bow, and serve in life,
It’s them with whom we morally align, and become alike!
So while it’s safe to conclude there are no devils in hell,
…it’s true…
There, immortal twins of countless 'devilish sinners', now dwell! 5

1 See: Genesis 6.
2 The Lord created all angels as ministering spirits, to serve Him and mankind. Thus, the spiritual realm is their proper domain. Under Lucifer’s leadership, a third rebelled, were kicked out of Heaven, and became satan and his devils on Earth, strategically allowed to tempt and deceive humanity, to ascertain who will faithfully resist and withstand until we die. Unable to procreate, and facing rapidly growing human populations, a contingent of devils launched a successful plot to transform into men, and mate with women. In Genesis 6, The Lord summarizes the horrible outcomes of this audacious plot, leading to His decision to wipe out all landed life, except righteous Noah, his small family, and select animals with them in an ark.
3 The Young’s Literal Translation (YLT), available in Biblegateway.com, translates, word-for-word into English, both the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek New Testament. It’s a valuable resource for serious Bible study. Tartartus is a fictional place in Greek mythology, reportedly very far under hell.
4 The Bible affirms humans were created in The Lord’s tripartite image – as immortal beings -- spirit, soul and body. Because of sin, we lost our physical immortality, therefore we die, physically. But we never lost our spiritual and soulish immortality. By the end of The Lord’s several, promised resurrection events, every human who will have ever been conceived, will once again, become a tripartite, immortal being, designated to spend eternity in one of two zones on His promised new, eternal Earth: (1) with Him and His angels in the peaceful, glorified zone, or (2) writhing in anguish, crying real tears, and gnashing real teeth, along with all devils, death and hell, itself, in the eternal lake of fire, in the cursed zone. The purpose of our lives on this temporary Earth, is to determine into which zone we will be assigned, forever. Heaven’s plan of salvation, involving Jesus’ sacrificial death for our sins, became ‘the gateway’ for us to influence this determination.
See: Lake of Fire: Is THIS the Man? (Poem) to understand why I perceive all devils will also likely be forever in human form in the lake of fire.
5 This point is not to diminish what Jesus revealed about the two regions of hell in Luke 16. I intuit the upper region He referenced might have been shut down as a result of the events noted in Matthew 27:51-53. For sure, there are lots of interpretations of these events and what they infer. For more on this, see: Missed Insights from Matthew 27.
