THIS MIGHT SURPRISE YOU

"The Bible describes Satan as the ruler of hell." Agree or disagree?

The answer

Disagree. In the verses about the place below, the devil and his angels are bound, held in chains or thrown in, and none makes him its ruler. The fire of Matthew 25:41 is "prepared for the devil and his angels." In Revelation he is bound for a thousand years, let out, and "thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur" (Revelation 20:2; Revelation 20:10).

Why it’s interesting

Revelation does mention "Satan's throne," in a letter to the church in Pergamum, a city on earth (Revelation 2:12-13). It may point to the city's temple of the Roman emperor, or to its great altar of Zeus.
