Satan’s demons wage war in the mind of humans, seeking to disrupt, distract, and distort an individual’s thoughts and understanding of God.

Does Satan rule Hell?

Satan does not rule hell or lead his demons in tormenting those who are banished there. In fact, the Bible does not say that Satan has been to hell yet.
